Universal Declaration of Human Pathology, 2019
A declaration of universal human error, ignorance, and illusion
Eric Lee, A-SOCIATED PRESS
TOPICS: HUMAN PATHING, FROM THE WIRES, REALITY-BASED WAYS OF KNOWING
Abstract:Pathing, from Greek pathos or 'suffering', is the modern (past 10K years) individual human problematique. [1] Human psychosocial pathology is universal. [2] Our pathing is secondary to belief-based error, ignorance, and illusion. To have beliefs is to be had by them. Possessed minds are dysfunctional, but [3] our pathologies are not innate, merely inherited, acquired, so belief therapy—all-encompassing doubt and inquiry, is corrective. [4] The end of pathing is universal non-belief.
The Four
Noble TruthsPremises are:[1] Empire-building human life is dysfunctional.
[2] Modernity (unmanaged complex society) is the cause.
[3] Our pathos has an end.
[4] The end of pathing is universal non-belief that enables us to listen.
COOS BAY (A-P) — If political modernity began in 1948, as gifted by a universal declaration of UN wordsmiths that no nation-state voted against, and as our way of life is dysfunctional, then a post-political modernity declaration could make matters worse (or be corrective). If the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, on the right of all citizens to serve their nation-state, of 1948 laid the foundation for today's 'rules of the game' that defined outcome, then declaring that we got it wrong is corrective, or a good start.
Universal Declaration of Human Pathing
Preamble
Whereas we are often wrong and could be wrong about everything, we will consider the possibility that if we endeavor to know, to guess then test, then we may come to iterate towards knowing what-is,
Whereas we would like to believe that we are right about everything we think Nature is trying to tell us, that we can believe deeply in what we feel compelled to believe in, we can but listen to Nature who has all the answers, who doesn't care what we believe or don't believe, want or don't want, like or don't like,
Whereas we want to work to achieve a future condition such as we can in our most exalted dreams envision, to be sane we can but seek out the condition now that will come anyway,
Whereas we feel driven to see the planet as a cornucopia of resources for the taking, before so taking it we will ask ourselves, "And then what?",
Whereas we love the sound of our words, words, words, we notice that Nature does not, that Nature is unkind, providing abundance only for those who live within limits and listen, as to think is to listen, so we listen,
Whereas we like to see ourselves as free, freedom is the recognition of necessity, so we choicelessly recognize what is in front of our face,
Whereas our technoindustrial complex society selects for short-term self-interst, we shall revel in our systems work rejoicing in happiness that finds us only in this good service,
Now, Therefore THE FEDERATION proclaims THIS UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN PATHING as a common standard of self-knowledge for all industrialized peoples, to the end that every individual and every organ of complex society, keeping this Declaration constantly in mind, shall strive by questioning and doubting everything to promote respect for these errors and pathologies and by iterative measures, to secure their universal and effective recognition and acknowledgment, both among the peoples of Member Watersheds themselves and among the peoples of communities under their jurisdiction.
