DELIVERANCE FROM EVIL by Samuel Tolsdorf

 


DELIVERANCE FROM EVIL

I have outlined the necessity of uniting the nations to prevent further warfare, and of the necessity of reducing our population numbers to provide individuals and family groups with plentiful earthly resources to use in producing their economic needs. To do this we must repudiate all national claims to territory, and set up a world government that abides by our wishes to enforce regulations that reduces the competitions amongst us. However, men will continue to compete for the favors of desirable women, and woman will continue to compete for the companionship of desirable men. Such competitions we shouldn't desire to suppress. With a reduced population our standards of living will increase, and we will gain the income to afford more of the necessities and luxuries of life. This may lead to greater obesity and addictions to alcohol, tobacco, and other drug products that shorten our lifespan. Without the need and desire to promote population increases there would be less of an incentive to forbid, or tax them to discourage their use, but we all should become aware of the consequences of participating in such unhealthy practices. The public would also wish to continue to provide themselves with inoculations to guard against contagious diseases, updated procedures and medications for their ailments, and remain alert to counteract any new diseases and viruses that may develop in their midst to provide for the security of life.

It has become obvious that the single parented family farm doesn't use its machinery as efficiently as larger operations, and it's obvious that extended family groups are better able to apportion the work load amongst themselves and use their elder members to supervise their children, while the younger parents participate in more strenuous or essential activities. Such enterprises, whatever their size: should provide all members with a proportional share in the profits, while they manage their own affairs, and double-check those that handle the money. In Europe it was the practice to leave the few hectors of land to the eldest son, for it couldn't support the needs of two couples. This drove the surplus population from the home to begin elsewhere, but now there are no new continents to colonize: so we must limit our increases, so that none are driven from the home and from the resources that supplied their needs. We live in a world of plenty, and scarcities only result when we fail to regulate our numbers.

It is the individual that provides the power to support their lifestyle, and to advance our civilization toward its highest potential. It is our society that must gain the ability to lead itself as a unit, and it will only need government to enforce the rules. With no emergencies of war, our governmental employees will not be in the business of leading us in our competitions, but would enforce regulations that discouraged our need to oppose each other. They should not determine our income, but we should be able to set their wages according to the stressfulness and hazardousness of the work we hire them to perform. It is we that must treat others like we would wish to be treated ourselves, in order to gain the comradeship and respect that is lacking between us, while we participate in the bounties that we can produce for ourselves on this planet.

Nature is not perfect, but it has provided the means for life to evolve to its present state in spite of its imperfections. The seed or germ of life, which evolves and mutates is responsible for the presence of all life forms on this planet. It puts the algae in the waters, but has also evolved to become the growth that is destroying the earth's environment. It is natural for a species to grow in numbers as its food supply increases, but nature also favored humans that were able to outnumber and defeat their rivals: causing environmental deterioration. Since nature influences us to compete for survival we cannot pretend that we live in a moral world, but in gaining a better understanding of nature, and avoiding its competitive influences we could create the moral world we desire. We should no longer blame the devils for what nature drives us to do, or expect our imaginary Gods to aid us in salvaging our civilization when we can guide it toward desirable objectives ourselves.
