"All compassion, all sympathy is irrational. That's the point. Love is irrational. The rational is stressing I-thou opposites. The mind is in the world of separateness and angular structures. It's a world put together in a way that can be calculated. Compassion, love--these jump mathematics." - Sarah Lawrence College for women, professor Joseph Campbell

 

Mutually Assured Destruction against strangers is bad morality, bad moral choice, irrational.

Love and compassion of helping strangers have freedom and clean water to drink is good morality, good moral choice, irrational.

"Somewhere somebody must have some sense. Men must see that force begets force, hate begets hate, toughness begets toughness. And it is all a descending spiral, ultimately ending in destruction for all and everybody. Somebody must have sense enough and morality enough" - Montgomery, Alabama. United States of America. (17 November 1957)

"One of the saddest lessons of history is this: if we've been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We're no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It's simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we've been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back. So the old bamboozles tend to persist as the new ones rise.* - Carl Sagan, 1995, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark - Chapter 13: "Obsessed with Reality", Page 229

TRACK 4: Society’s Choice: Tradition or Truth?

"Now this is a very serious affair. It is serious because these symbolic worlds were the supports of the civilizations, of the moralities of the civilizations, of the self-confidence of the civilizations, of the vitality and creative power of the civilizations. And with the cutting down, the frustrating of the self-confidence that derives from images of this kind, there is a disequilibrium within the society itself. And everyone is challenged in his loyalty—are you going to be loyal to the tradition, to the form, to the morality and myth of your society, or are you going to be loyal to truth? They are two different things."

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. received his Ph.D. in Systematic Theology from Boston University in 1955. He had begun his doctoral studies there in September of 1951 (right after the end of World War Two in Europe and Japan / etc).

even before finishing his doctorate degree, a new equation of GOOD MORALITY was released.

28 February 1954

"There is something wrong with our world, something fundamentally and basically wrong. I don't think we have to look too far to see that. I'm sure that most of you would agree with me in making that assertion. And when we stop to analyze the cause of our world's ills"

The new MORALITY EQUATION about hate

"Most people can't stand up for their convictions, because the majority of people might not be doing it. See, everybody's not doing it, so it must be wrong. And since everybody is doing it, it must be right. So a sort of numerical interpretation of what's right. But I'm here to say to you this morning that some things are right and some things are wrong. Eternally so, absolutely so. It's wrong to hate. It always has been wrong and it always will be wrong. It's wrong in America, it's wrong in Germany, it's wrong in Russia, it's wrong in China. It was wrong in 2000 B.C., and it's wrong in 1954 A.D. It always has been wrong, and it always will be wrong."
