beyond necessary

 In the future, we must cleave to a principle of liberation and follow the right of self-determination wherever it might lead. The old saw of “every thing in its right place” has been shown to turn on subjective and not upon truthful measures - whose idea of what is the “right place” prevails, and for whom is it the “right place”? Are questions that after long experience always revealed strength and power, not reason nor rational government, have been behind the propagation of such a saying. The “right place of everything” comes from an ancient time when the mechanism for discovering the truth was still mistaken for the truth itself. It is assuredly not the case that if every “thing” has a “right place” it isn’t constituted in some transparent organizational scheme; and, although the evolution of knowledge may not be at its bitter end, it seems more likely that the proper “place” for every thing will fill space like the thousand points of light in the night sky of the visible universe.

Structurally sound assumptions may be made by simply denying all assumptions that may be made until they prove themselves otherwise.  This is why science is still so relevant because science is the purest natural expression of logic.  However, such an important distinction and framing needs the further question: for what does logic serve human beings?  The straightest answer I can give you is, while some will claim that a sound assumption denies its opposite, the truth is that a denial of the truth denies itself, and that’s why the truth is true, since Socrates.  The establishment of truth has been difficult since then.  Do you follow what I’m saying?  Logically speaking, logic is truth, but truth is not logic.  So we enter a dialectic.  The distinction but not difference between facts and actualities is the difference in making sense of it here.  The truth is a fact that became an actuality.

There are moments where questions of morality depend on questions of effectiveness.  There are situations where effectiveness tempers honesty.  And there are certain moments where the entire question of morality in that instance, and for those facts, constitutes the question of whether certain people are effective in that moment.
