Conscience

Filed under: John Morgan's Blog — John Morgan @ 10:01 am

Did you ever notice that the word “conscience” is made up of two syllables, “con” and “science”? Can that mean that it’s anti science or worse, a scheme against science?

Science, to me, is a pure, natural law waiting to be discovered.

To con-science would be a scheme to try and misrepresent the variables and pass the results off as the real thing.

Our main notion of conscience – something to warn us to do the “right” thing – has mainly come about through conditioning. True science isn’t conditioned; it’s always been there waiting to be discovered.

Our conscience contains an arbitrary version of right and wrong. With science, there is no debate.

How long would wars last if babies were the combatants? Babies have no conscience. They do what they do with no malice aforethought. They may have a minor skirmish about something and then be peaceful the next minute with no concept of the other person being right or wrong.

Look at the harm people do to each other in the name of right and wrong. It goes against science.

Evil only exists in the minds of man. Science is pure and only contains the evil that man puts in it. When you put evil into science, you are going against science. You are conning science so to speak.

This is pure word play on my part to underscore an overlooked behavior – that we justify the harm we do with the subjective science of right and wrong.

To me, “The Greater Good” is a con job that goes against science. It simply means that they have a better lobbyist than the person with the adjudged, “Lesser Good.”

As long as my version of good outweighs yours, we’re always going to be at odds.

There are no odds against natural law. It’s pure science, and anytime we try and fudge it to fit our needs, we cause friction.

I don’t believe the concepts of right and wrong are going away anytime soon, so this isn’t a crusade to eradicate them. It’s more of a nudge to notice if they’re working for you or not.

Remember this: If you’re right, someone else has to be wrong. If your only proof of your “rightness” is consensus, you are conning science.

All the best,

John
