Everyone who uses intelligence to guide their endeavors rather than merely faith (a tendency that you notably handle well). Not that all people should always use only intelligence. One should not attempt to get the dog to fully understand the purpose of a newspaper before learning to use it; nor the nurse, the purpose of procedures before ensuring their proper application; nor the mechanic of the physics and chemistry; nor the fry cook of biomedical physiology. There is a degree of faith in all efforts. There is also intelligence involved in all efforts. But there must be a means to know when to apply which and how much of each. There must be a means to advance and learn why those who have said, “do it this way”, said what they said, if for no other reason, merely to remove the suspicion that they had no genuine reason. It paves a concrete path of reason from the very bottom of the mountain of concerns in life to the very top – a modern highway between Heaven and Hell.
Whatever language is most common, clear, easy, and delightful among those mentioned above.
RM speaks of the foundation of almost every subject concerning society, the how’s and why’s inherent in all things; the origin of the universe, the construct of groups and persuasion, political incentives, economics, psychological engagement, what bonds and frees people or things; what changes what, and why (the real I Ching); the point, purpose, and method of religions, governments, and groups; the requirements to being successful for any proposed ethics; and even where the medical world fits into all of it.
Most significantly RM is for those who propose to govern the lives of others such that they do not propose what will merely lead to more needless conflict, strife, and misery. It addresses, through deconstruction, the very construct of the Philosopher’s Stone and all things of significance. It reveals the “Grand Original Design”.
Realize that what the most influential people see as “how the universe works” or “what can or cannot be done” is what they use when dealing with others and the masses.
But perhaps more immediately obvious is your payment. ![]()
Other than that, it really isn’t significant to anyone.
Every good book should be as a meal to the reader; nutritious, satisfying, and preferably a delightful experience. But one must consider just how good of a meal he wants to prepare. When you find that an ingredient is missing from the pantry, don’t you go purchase it from another, borrow some from a neighbor, or pick it from the garden? Of course if it is too much trouble, you can always just do without and get what you get. Perhaps try to invoke psychology and persuade the reader that he has gotten a fine meal, when in reality it was all an empty deceptive promise. I strongly prefer the former.
