KANT'S PROLEGOMENA (1783) AS COMMENTARY ON MARGIN IDEA @262: "Yet these Prolegomena will bring them to understand that there exists a completely
new science, of which no one had previously [IDEA @262] formed merely the thought, of which even the bare idea was unknown, and for which nothing
from all that has been provided before now could be used except the hint
that Hume’s doubts had been able to give; Hume also foresaw nothing of any such possible formal science, but *DEPOSITED* *HIS* *SHIP* *ON* *THE*
*BEACH* (*OF* *SKEPTICISM*) *FOR* *SAFEKEEPING*, where it could then lie
and rot, whereas it is important to me to give it a pilot, who, provided
with complete sea-charts and a compass, might safely navigate the ship
wherever seems good to him, following sound principles of the helmsman’s
art drawn from a knowledge of the globe." [pages 11, 12]
NOTE: Hume, Treatise (Bk.x,pt.4,sec.7), compared his skeptical turn with a decision “to *PERISH* *ON* *THE* *BARREN* #298 - *ROCK*, on which I am at present, rather than venture myself upon that boundless ocean, which runs
out to immensity,” having *NARROWLY* *ESCAPED* *SHIPWRECK*. Hamann
translated and published this passage in his excerpt of 1771 (cited in the Introduction). On the notion of skepticism in Kant’s time and in relation
to Hume, see Introduction, pp. xxv, xxvi.
SABRINA IMBLER (ATLAS OBSCURA) ON 14 MAY 2019: "If stones could speak, what would they say? According to one #298 - *ROCK* in a small village in
France, “ROC AR B...DRE AR GRIO SE EVELOH AR VIRIONES BAOAVEL.” The #298 - *ROCK* also boasts two dates, 1786 and 1787, that hint at its age. These
years correspond with the years that the town #265 - *CONSTRUCTED*

MARGIN IDEA @383: "The ordinary metaphysics has indeed already produced benefits, because it searched for the elementary concepts of the pure understanding in order to render them clear through analysis and
determinate through explication. It was thereby a cultivation of reason, wherever reason might subsequently think fit to direct itself. But that was
all the good that it did. For it undid this merit again by promoting self-conceit through rash assertions, sophistry through subtle evasions and glosses, and shallowness through the facility with which it overcame the
most difficult problems with a little school [IDEA @383] wisdom – a shallowness that is all the more enticing the more it has the option of, on
the one hand, taking on something from the language of science, and, on the other, from popularity, and thereby is everything to everyone, but in fact
is nothing at all. By contrast, through critique our judgment is afforded a standard by which knowledge can be distinguished with certainty from pseudo knowledge; and, as a result of being brought fully into play in
metaphysics, critique establishes a manner of thinking that subsequently extends its wholesome influence to every other use of reason, and for the
first time excites the true philosophical spirit.
Moreover, the service it renders to theology, by making it independent of
the judgment of dogmatic speculation and in that way securing it against
all attacks from such opponents, is certainly not to be underrated. For the ordinary metaphysics, although promising to assist theology greatly, was subsequently unable to fulfill this promise, and beyond this, in calling speculative dogmatism to its aid, had done nothing other than to arm
enemies against itself.

CONTINUE PROLEGOMENA IDEA #383: "Fanaticism, which cannot make headway in
an enlightened age except by hiding behind a school metaphysics, under the protection of which it can venture, as it were, to rave rationally, will be driven by critical philosophy from this its final hiding place; and beyond
all this it cannot fail to be important to a teacher of metaphysics to be
able, for once with universal assent, to say that what he propounds is now
at last science, and that through it genuine benefit is rendered to the commonweal." [page 134]
NOTE ON COMMONWEALTH: From common (“public”) + wealth (“well-being”). From
c. 1450 as common wele (commonweal). In the form common-wealth (common
welthe) from c. 1520, used by Tyndale in the sense "secular society" in particular, for which other authors preferred publike weal. Also from the
1520s treated as a synonym or loan-translation of res publica (republic) (Rollison 2017:67f).

KANT'S PROLEGOMENA (1783) AS COMMENTARY ON MARGIN IDEA @292: "But if I
venture to go beyond all possible experience with my concepts of space and

still permitting them to hold good for the very same things, even if my
senses might now be differently framed and either suited to them or not?) – then an important error can spring up which rests on an illusion, since I passed off as universally valid that which was a condition for the
intuition of things (attaching merely to my subject, and surely valid for
all objects of the senses, hence for all merely possible experience),
because I referred it to the things in themselves and did not restrict it
to conditions of experience." [page 43]

Normally, we divide the enemies into external and internal ones.
The external enemies are eliminated by wars, while the internal enemies
are cleansed with purges.
However, this never worked for some reason. This Universe is constructed
in such way, whether by its design or by its fallen, devolution state - so that
when you try to eliminate evil it actually multiplies and increases.
This is why there was never a system (fascist or communist or corporatist, >> witch hunt or heretic inquisition) ever completed wars and/or purges and
achieved the state of peace where no wars or purges would ever be required >> ("The Kingdom of Heaven").
While the first disciples and apostles were satisfied with the criticism of >> "those outside", when the church accepted the role of the State religion
it had to adjust its teaching so it would be acceptable to the ruler
that ruled by force over life and death rather than convincing with
tears those who went astray as apostle Paul had (Acts 20:31).
He never used iron maidens nor burning stakes to enforce faith in
his disciples - he simply set apart those who wanted to hear the
good news and shook off the dust over the others.
The religion that adopted the rule of physical force over life and
death as the method of its spreading became the Harlot in scarlet
that rides on the back of the Beast with seven heads and ten horns.
But the original spiritual walk was primarily concerned with man's own
greatest enemy: himself. Looking at the "man in the mirror" and his
fallen nature is something that a few can afford. Man's own lust, greed,
envy, arrogance, gluttony, laziness and hatred proved most destructive
for any person, while the external enemy could only kill his body.
The inner enemies are known as the mortal sins because they secretly
kill the soul.
The religions explain this phenomenon with the Pandora box or the
tree of the knowledge of good and evil and the well-known forbidden fruit. >> The man was perfect and blameless until he had known good and evil.
Now he must know good and evil, and reject evil and choose good.
What is good also must be taken in moderation. This means, one small
portion of french fries - even when potatoes are made by God, too much
of the good thing can cause obesity, diabetes, and consequential blindness >> or amputation of limbs.
Eventually, the State could ration the food portions so that nobody gets
obese or overweight and mandate physical exercise - but this is usually
connected with dictatorships, not with democracies.
There is a subtle difference between the holy kings of the Bharata dynasty >> who motivated the people to follow regulation principles with the holy
priesthood and by example and that of the State dictatorship.
Most notably, the following eliminated the entire priesthood class in
events like the "cultural revolution", in millions, maybe tens of millions. >> Maybe a hundred million?
But this is not what the spiritual walk is about. It is not about being
obedient to some authority and do good only while they are watching.
It is about doing good when every good deed is being punished.
It is about obeying the Commandments for God's sake and for Heaven's sake. >>
The list of enemies eventually excluded "flesh and blood" in the times
of first apostles: they knew that the greatest enemy is the Devil and man's >> own "self", ego, flesh.
The Demons are the nasty bunch that came over to a party uninvited and
then decided to stay and invite their worse friends to your home or flat.
But what gives the food is your own seven mortal sins: your arrogance and
pride, envy and malice, lust, greed, gluttony, laziness and anger.
Even in China or North Korea it is up to you whether you will rise on the alarm
clock or snooze and whether you will make your bed in the morning (unless
you are in the army).
While external authority gives you some structure, the System eventually
weakens man's ability to survive, and the worse and more corrupt it is, the >> more obedience and dependence it requires from the "sheep". The upper
class, the dictatorship of the proletariat and later the red burgeois, are exempt
from the requirement for obedience as long as they turn a blind eye to
every misbehaviour the ruling class does.
Eventually, the System will collapse, leaving people in panic and chaos
like when police went on strike or there was a large-scale blackout:
mass violence and looting of the people that were dependent on
authority to behave good will require the Man of Peace to solve all
of the world's problems.
Most notably, he is prophesied to scapegoat the believers and persecute
them, gathering all of the worlds armies (Gog and Magog) to the battlefield >> of Armageddon.
The rest is known from the Book of Revelation.
in the LORD
