Synthesis Politics

                           Synthesis Politics

It is pretty clear that Hillary "knows how to get things done". Big Time!

Intelligence is a wonderful tool. But it is really a lousy decision maker about what needs to be done. Intelligence cannot deal with Abstract things like Liberty, Justice and a decent living for all. Intelligence cannot fathom these Principles. It sees Principles as fairy stuff "pie in the sky, "the sky will open and.." as impractical dreamer stuff can't be done.

Intelligence is great at making machines, like a Blitzkrieg, or a machine gun or stuff like poison gas or Death Rays. It also makes computers and space ships. Point is that Intelligence is not able to make moral or ethical decisions. It cannot discriminate between the Common Good and the totally dumb, like War. If it could we would have gotten rid of war eons ago. Instead very, very intelligent individuals kept deciding that they wanted hunks of other people’s countries and so forth.

Intelligence knows how. But, It does not know what! It is and always has been the Heart that can see the narrow razor edge Path and walk it with Joy and a certain kind of Style.

Concepts like Equality and Truth are goals toward which we strive. The reason we have a democracy is because "dreamers" like Christ and Lincoln and King, those who had hearts along with their minds strove wholeheartedly, not halfheartedly, for those goals. No real hero like Susan B. Anthony ever thought in halfway pragmatic terms or in terms of some perfect idealistic accomplishment.

Fools are idealists. Pragmatists are neither able nor interested in the efforts it takes to strive for the Whole Good. Those who strive for the Good work with Living Evolving Ideas. They are never interested in halfwayness. If intelligent pragmatists were calling the shots, we would still be subjects of English Kings and Dukes.

Sanders efforts are not about Sanders. They are about the Principles. We need and have, in the presence of Hillary, some really good Intelligence to continue to implement those Principles. It’s a door opening to our future.

Wisdom and Intelligence, Why did you think the Avatar of Synthesis was around?

Anyway, it’s inevitable. It’s called Evolution.
