Hello,

Ok I'm working out an idea and I figured I'd broadcast it in formation. I'm listening to James Lindsey's newest podcast and he's talking about how (paraphrasing) the Marxist need to get into the heads of children early in order to change their value systems into what the Marxist want.

I'd like to put an old thought and a new thought together. The old thought is that the human conscience does not TELL us what is right and wrong, but rather JUDGES our actions as right or wrong. The critical difference here is that in my formulation of a conscience the conscience itself is not the source of what is right or wrong only the interested judge. It is up to the individual to first develop a moral law of right and wrong in order for the conscience to act upon it. Thus a sociopath can have and indeed must have a conscience as does the terrorist, murder, rapist, etc. The difference being that the moral law by which their conscience judges them has by turns no regard for others, intolerance of different belief systems, little respect for life, or personal autonomy.

The conscience is necessary because it is the only means by which we may navigate the moral landscape which is one of the secrets of our success as a species. We can project a desired end in the future and then plan a path towards that end making moral decisions along the way. Choice requires a value judgement. Which value to support at a given moment to achieve a long term goal is a moral choice. The judging the correct moral action, or whether an action is of itself correct is the job of the conscience.

That's the old thought. The new idea is a recognition of how values, and the moral law is developed in a person. I believe that the bulk of your moral law as well as the means by which it may be amended is established in your first few years of life. It is handed down from those most responsible for your care (hopefully family), and the culture at large that you are in. Without this foundation you cannot navigate the moral landscape and plan for the future. You need eyes to see, ears to hear, touch, taste, and smell to navigate the three dimensional world, you need a moral law to navigate the moral landscape of future results predicated on present actions.

I think you see this moral law developing in the rigidity of toddlers when it comes to questions of right and wrong. I'd imagine that it's also disruptive to introduce moral ambiguity to kids at this stage because they don't have the experience to contextualize it. So I'd imagine that it introduces anxiety in them in the same way that foggy vision can render sight all but useless for navigation.

The point here is if a Marxist morality can be introduced at this stage it may become foundational to their moral vision moving forward. I believe that this process has a definite end in every child just like all other stages of life. By injecting this moral idea during this period you can be setting the child up for a life long moral myopic view. The socialist world view doesn't work, but children programmed to think in its terms will continue to promote it despite the misery, and death it has caused because it's part of their core moral law.

So if I'm right the desire to get kids early should be resisted at all costs. Your kids should be imbued with your moral law as the framework upon which they will build their lives. A framework that allows for additions and subtractions, based on truth and not a fairy tale of the new soviet man. When this critical time has passed they can be introduced to damaging ideas.

I guess it's kind of like avoiding alcohol when your pregnant, and promoting good nutrition while your child is growing.

Anyway that is what I'm thinking now.
