Beneficent Parentalism

Oh!  That's why they do that!  I thought they were just evil!
Once a person has reconciled to the reality of benevolent determinism, life is a new ballgame; that person is given a new lease on life; he or she has entered a brand New World!  In this New World there are only reasons. The free-will psychologically barbed diatribes of, excuses, stubbornness, bad attitudes, recalcitrance, rebelliousness, laziness, slothfulness, delinquency, obstinacy, intransigence, willfulness, selfishness, and a whole litany of self-deprecating, offensive, and demoralizing labels meant to intimidate and demean ones sacred person; these are instantly neutralized and seen for what they are:  A means of leverage the assailant uses to contain their victim; a verbal weapon used by an authority figure who has reached the end of their ability to produce desired results and satisfy society's agenda, but not wanting to accept the reality of their limitations, instead blames and castigates a defenseless other rather than be stigmatized as inadequate. Gasp!  That was a  long sentence! Free-will is subtly vicious! There's a short one to make up for it!  Of course, this is equally true for the litany of self-deprecating, offensive, and demoralizing labels meant to intimidate and demean the assailant! Whether one is the assailant or the victim, there are only reasons.  If man is the sum total of their genetic predisposition and life experiences, one needs only familiarize them self with the individual's genetic predisposition and backtrack through that individual's experience to discover the reasons why the individual is behaving as they are. Beneficent Parentalism establishes these as bonifide reasons and not whiny excuses.   In defense of modern psychology, this has been the working model for some time, even though as a working model it contradicted free-will and while navigating within free-will's shadow, essentially made no sense. Beneficent Parentalism now provides a foundation which buttresses a pervasive deterministic mentality already embraced in one manner or another by mental health professional's. 

The implications for modern society are breathtaking!  It is akin to birth in its inevitable violence and tender, Loving expectations.  Exiting the womb and entering a new reality, life draws its first breath and blue is transformed into cherubic pink; what was once silent now wails; all senses are full throttle and dead ahead; the stream of exhilerating data is non-ending.  What I am presenting is what I have been able to surmise.  It is a bit like Sputnik laid along side the Mariner probes.  My presentation is Sputnik, and most certainly is not the sophistication evidenced by the Mariner probes, in case there was any doubt!  For a time, innovative psychological thought will be easy pickings.  The real advances lie far in the future; long after I am dead and gone. It is a rather spectacular sunrise, though, don't you think?

When you are given to being overwhelmed by Beneficent Parentalism's implications for mankind, step back and remember: Benevolent Determinism is Truth in the form of Knowledge and cannot be altered.  We cannot mold Truth and Knowledge to fit our personal preferences.  Wisdom can soften it a bit, but mankind must adapt to Truth, because Truth cannot and will not adapt to us.

Enough said!  Onward and upward!
Belief and Faith are valuable commodities when one is journeying through the desert of the unknown.  But, when given the opportunity to replace Belief and Faith with Truth and Knowledge, one should never refuse the gift.
Because brain research has made it possible to know a person's behavior is the effect of the person's genetic predisposition and life experience, it is possible to determine motivators for that person's behavior.  The involvement of a will with all the judgmental good and bad associations, the condemning elements of virtuous and evil, was a horribly messy and unwinable process.  The knowledge that a person is simply the sum total of their genetic predisposition and life experience provides human psychology the foundation it has needed so as to build a reliable and enduring developmental model.
