The Sublime & Beautiful vs. Reality

This blog is a record of one man's struggle to search for scientific, philosophical, and religious truth in the face of the limitations imposed on him by economics, psychology, and social conditioning; it is the philosophical outworking of everyday life in contrast to ideals and how it could have been.


-
The chief aim of all investigations of the external world should be to discover the rational order and harmony which has been imposed on it by God
and which He revealed to us in the language of mathematics.
--Johannes Kepler

Abraham Lincoln on Labor

Labor is prior to, and independent of, capital.

Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if Labor had not first existed.

Labor is the superior of capital and deserves much higher consideration.

Working men are the basis of all governments, for the plain reason that they are more numerous.

To secure to each laborer the whole product of his labor, or as nearly as much as possible, is a worthy object of any good government.
