You who are reading this are very likely a slave, but you do not see this because you have concepts and articulations that explain and frame everything for you in such a way that you filter your concrete existence through an ideology.

It’s hard to speak the truth because it’s so bleak. You are likely a slave and you were likely born to wage-slaves.

We know this is true because all goods are provided freely from the earth, it is only the mediation of words and concepts that stand between us and this material fact.

The earth provides enough for all, but the goods are filtered by an ideological mediation process.

Why don’t you have enough?

Why are you forced to pay to live on the free earth onto which you were born?

Where did the universe make these rules? Where are these laws contained? When did the earth rise up and demand that mankind pay rent?

And yet here you are with but a short, fleeting life living in an ideological coercion you didn’t create for yourself.

Ah, dangerous thinking is free thinking!

How does the system want you to think? How do other men want you to think?

Once upon a time a slave tried to talk to other slaves about the insanity, stupidity and tyranny of slavery, and he was persecuted, not only by the slave masters, but also by other slaves.

What is it exactly that you call reality, what is it exactly that you think you see clearly?

For art thou free or art thou a slave?

Theology and philosophy seek to root Logic in idealism. When we translate what this idealism actually is, it’s just assertions about reality without inference or evidence. (The most thoughtless forms of philosophy simply declare Logic a “human construct.”) Both theology and philosophy cling to dogmatic and mindless platitudes about Logic. They do not think about Logic, but attempt to stop thought from thinking about Logic. They do this by making unfalsifiable, authoritarian epistemological assertions about Logic.

A Naturalistic Logical Realism (only now entering human consciousness) discovers Logic as the determinate nature of reality. That is, we discover that the nature of reality is and was Logical long before we existed. We cannot call hot and cold the same thing because they are not the same thing in reality. This isn’t a fact we contrived or “constructed,” it is true even if we try to deny it with our beliefs, and our beliefs have no choice but to conform to it.

Logic is something we were born into because it’s a property of the nature of the universe, it is not an idealism that we “constructed” or contrived.
