Re: Election / Ethics / Isaac / Impossible CW

TL; DR: The kind of thinking which places the ethical onus for evil on "God" at all, let alone only, makes the Atonement ('theodicy') an unsolvable problem. And that works very well for people who need it to work (or, POV-depending, fail). That there are people for whom this is an advantage and people who do not resist this will also remain a problem so long as direct, rather than abstract, 'Atonement' is not locally ↔️ regionally ↔️ nationally ↔️ globally balanced as a combination legal-reconciliation issue.

TL-er; DR-er: I will not sacrifice you to an idea.

The thing that I realized about why it's OK (for me) to support Kamala Harris instead of hard-lining for 3rd party is that it's bc we cannot help anyone-anywhere if we become even more enslaved than we already are right now. And that is the intention of the right wing corporatists, who find DJT to be their dark avatar, willing pawn, and kompromat all in one convenient place.

I am sorry to those who think me a failure. It is disappointing to fail oneself in this way as I have; but what deeper failure is it to fail to try in even the most passive possible way to help keep people hyper locally where we are, where we can, out of embodied debt-prison-slavery, or an actual dictatorial police state?

To insist on a third party is not wrong. But it is also not right. Forgive me.

I have been in a long contest with 'theodicy' — the problem of evil — and the icon for this struggle (at least in the west) is most intensely expressed in the Akedah/Binding of Isaac (and of course, the Christian superimposition of the Crucifixion) which begs the Divine question: HOW COULD YOU?

In my conversation with the rabbi last Friday, I stumbled onto my own kind of goyish midrash in providing the suddenly-needed, drive-thru level reduction of Kant, who says that Abraham, in failing to refuse, failed ethically. Kant's POV is enlightenment-era rationality: a critique of ethic; secular-rational. My POV is postmodern mysticism: a distress of metaphor; sacred-ir/rational (and more likely to apologize for Kierkegaard, though I do not).

I said that Abraham's failure was not ethical, but relational. We are told that Abraham is in such close relationship with God that they argue, but when God makes this confusing demand, Abraham can find no resistance? He can argue for the lives of strangers (cf., actual SODOM), but when it comes to his child, he is silent? (At this, my rabbi friend nodded and confirmed that the sages also express that this is difficult to reconcile.)

But my deep engagement with the text is here. Avram knew God. Knew the depths, and failed to place a boundary.

Which is to say that the emphasis on God's morality (which we cannot know) is a trap of thinking, because it excuses Abraham, who, as a human, we do know.

And we humans know well enough that to kill a child is to kill one's own soul. In failing himself, Abraham also failed God, who needed Abraham to resist. (Yes, I know. I still said it.)

That Isaac was a child of promise has everything to do with Jewish identity and less than nothing to do with the problem of evil in the world. This also discounts the salvific attributes of the Crucifixion, which continues to beg the Divine question: HOW COULD YOU?Which, ultimately, can only be answered insofar as we can answer for ourselves.

God, the metaphorically attributed, our divinity BINGO card that's used as our ontological justification and entitlement for our declarations-the 'convenient 3rd party'..

God, the metaphorically attributed..

God, the metaphoric attribution.. …must truly be our proactive kinetic sum of energy. Whether by inertia, apathy, obligation, or pro-action

What and who ever was more reflective, thus less kinetic must have been ethnically cleansed-IF THEY DIDN'T GO LITERALLY UNDERGROUND-Over 4000 centuries-16,000 generations Even the lesser known Denisovans would question the emotional intelligence of we contemporaries' motivations and aspirations to their more mid-brain influenced behaviors that lacked the sophisticated forms we have https://www.academia.edu/126027219/Over_4000_centuries_16_000_generations

.., you'd have witnessed a characterization of human nature that goes back to Hindu and Buddhist teaching. That characterization was about the blind spot vanity of those seeking the satiable pleasures of the present, versus those [the ultimate Shogun] whose motivations were to the disciplines of a principle.

That principle's imperatives was to a holistic, even if not totally altruistic, ends. Most to all of us are caught in the matrix of having our cognitive, serotonin fix from the tangibles in our immediate spatial time frame. The future long-term consequences are seen as the incidental price were 'willing-to-pay' , though not well defined. This is an imperfect way to live life, but the over-used mindset for life being so cyclically familiar over the generations

To those, engaging the inertial resistance an inertial fate Kudos to you for formally bring attention to alternative states of perception and consciousness. I would go even further to say that these default pioneers in the frontiers of mental activity, must perform a quixotic, if not heroic role with 'a fate' which is an organic and inertial matrix that resents and resist other dimensions intervening in what they presume as their principalities of privilege and entitlement. Those organic matrices will present subtle to explicitly manifested obstruction to deter all but the most resilient and intrepidly determined from having the consummation of their efforts to aspire to the asymptotic goals they seek, as in-Seeming phenomenologically, mystical resistance for those who seek a change that challenges the expectations one and others have developed on one's capabilities for such a redirection of one's physical and mental focus: Asymmetrical Juxtaposition Resistance to one's emotional redirection of energy to purposes contrary to the former psychological and socially anticipated logic, and the emotional challenges encountered doing so

Just a rant post I’ll probably delete later…

“Nobody wants to work anymore”

But I know several people who’ve been job hunting for months including my fiance

“Nobody wants to work anymore”

He’s applied to 100+ job applications with a turnaround of 5%. 5/100 jobs called for an interview. He didn’t quit, but was let go due to cutbacks. His whole shift (2nd) was let go. Unemployment is backlogged here, and we haven’t heard back yet.

“Nobody wants to work anymore”

He was offered one job, not even the one he applied for. A part time position. Ok, perfect while he still job hunts for full time right? They gave him 4hrs a week. 4 hours. He asked for more. “Ill look at get back to you” while they still actively list the full time position. He reapplied for it himself. I had to pick up hours at work (100hr/2wks) but we’re now at a full staff so no overtime is permitted as of two weeks ago. Bills are starting to catch up to us. Groceries have been slim. The animals need vet care we cant afford. Gov assistance wont help because my last few paychecks put us over the income line. “Reapply next month” they said.

“Nobody wants to work anymore”

I have another friend who’s applied to many jobs herself. One job she got an interview for is 2 blocks from her. They’re “desperately” seeking people to apply. They called her in for an interview. She’s called back a week later for them to tell her “we haven’t decided yet, call back next week”

“Nobody wants to work anymore”

I have a friend from out of state. She’s been applying for a few months now. Shes facing eviction. She cant afford her apartment anymore, and is looking at rehoming her two dogs. She has had jobs tell her (and I’ve seen the emails) “you’re overqualified” “we cant offer you a pay cut” but she’s applying to the job with the listed salary, knowing it would be a pay cut, but at least it would be something. She’s applied to everything from cleaning/housekeeping to management positions thats shes experienced in. One job got back to her. She got hazed on day one, not even trained for the position she was hired for, and thrown in the back to fend for herself, then told “were moving you to another location, so sit tight and we’ll call you” and hasn’t heard back since despite reaching out. Shes still applying to jobs. Her car is unreliable, but she cant afford a better one. This shrinks her radius she can reasonably apply for jobs in.

“Nobody wants to work anymore”

It seems like every other business in this town has “we’re hiring!” Advertisements on their facades. Every one I’ve asked says to apply online. Ive helped call around. The bots weed out applicants without certain buzz words. They also rarely list salary/pay on the job listings anymore either. I even briefly attempted looking for a job closer to home (I have a 30 min drive one way) to save on gas but many would have me taking pay cuts we couldn’t afford, and I couldn’t get this information until either the interview or a job offer which wasted everyones time at that point.

But hey,

“Nobody wants to work anymore”
