On Theory of Perceptual Knowledge

(March 29, 2017)

“Consistent adoption of the theory of perceptual knowledge leads to nihilism and skepticism. The populations of the world are educated to believe that sense perception can determine the ignorance of human beings. That what is knowledge is that which is obtained only through sense perception. The result of this is the wars we see and the vast amount of actions which are networked and connected with each other which condition people to act only in self-interest and believe that nothing else matters. The presumption of self-interest and that virtue of following one’s own desires has led us to this state in which there is so much of ill-will in the world. People are ready to sacrifice rain forests, others resources, kill people and destroy each other without a moment’s thought. They are unwilling to give so that they can get, but they are dedicated to getting without ever giving anything. The education we have given to the world in general is that getting is good, giving is bad. When seen from nihilistic and skeptical lens this is true. But the danger is that it affects our ethic so much that we are intent on destroying ourselves in the name of getting all what we can get. Good Will is an attempt to educate and inspire the world to understand that consistent application of the theory of perceptual knowledge, is bad and bodes ill. The only path for the humans to follow is Good Willing; to condition the Will within to become a Good Will. To restrain, to not let it roam free and wreak havoc in the name of self-interest. The only path for us humans is to will good. Though hard and improbable in the face of odds and adversities, that is the only path available for the human”.
