Washington is Hollywood for ugly people.

Which leads me to a question: How many times will you get dragged around in an emotional frenzy on behalf of some moral cause that you’ve been told is morally imperative?  Can you count these experiences on two hands?  Do you even remember the evolution of your own world view?

If any cause has been deemed as so morally imperative, then how on Earth did you end up getting tricked into thinking the best people for the job are a bunch of self-aggrandizing political opportunists on Capitol Hill?  That’s like saying your car’s engine is stalled and taking it to a florist.

The point of this post is not to focus on the “wrong person for the job.”  That brief conclusion intentionally obfuscates the fact that any and every moral calamity is completely manufactured from the top-down.

For example, abortion is a <edgyMediaJargon101>hot button</edgyMediaJargon101> topic that ignites passions and animalism.  Any topic that results in such reactions means those reactions are coached and conditioned on purpose to hide the true purpose of the topic in question.  The Left Cult calls abortion a reproductive right, granted from hands of the infinitely Elysian elite as themselves as a successful way to improve a female’s quality of life and earning potential.  The Right Cult calls abortion a state-sponsored genocide through the same logic that the Left Cult has defined other genocides throughout history.  One Cult believes their activity is holy and righteous while the other believes it to be an ultimate sin.  These are moral responses designed to invoke emotional catastrophe for all parties.  As long as Two Minutes Hate/Love reigns supreme, then Two Minutes Reason will be forever hidden.

The hard truth is that the unborn are the perfect targets.  They cannot wage a guerrilla resistance.  They cannot create convincing artistic displays of their struggles.  The unborn cannot vote or stage protests.  The fetus cannot bribe politicians.  The zygote is unable to put themselves on media outlets to elicit pity through appeals to emotion.   This means that the best target for keeping populations manageable (a very serious concern for any macroeconomist) is the unborn.  The Guttmacher Institute puts the worldwide abortion count at approximately 40 million per year.

No warlord, dictator, or Malthusian has in history has ever consistently achieved such efficient numbers for population mitigation.  The moral arguments about the unborn being a human or not has absolutely no importance.  What we know with absolute certainty is that through the termination of an unborn human, a future human no longer exists.  A future human means a burden to a system with limited resources.  The old adage of “One less mouth to feed” becomes the rule of the day.

How do you get people to kill their unborn?  If such people are already participants of a system that is designed to have a bare minimal transference of influence, then the fear of having such scarcity put at risk provides all the incentive one needs to agree with the “One less mouth to feed” principle.  In a strange twist of irony, those who support that line of reasoning indirectly agree that a future human is nothing more than a cost/benefit investment whose risk can be mitigated via economic arguments alone.  This indirect conclusion alone should be enough to make the Left Cult sympathetic to the worldview of the Right Cult, but sadly, the crusade-like emotionalism associated with this topic prevents such possibilities.

And therein lies the problem that I am discussing.  Morality does not elevate mankind to be closer to purity.  Morality bogs mankind down with petulance and chest-thumping.  Instead of morality being used as a channel for mankind to realize he is more than his animal impulses, morality becomes the channel that grants mankind permission to become excessively belligerent.  Morality is a crucial source of the Cult State because morality prevents reason.
