The Paradox of Multiplicity and The Role of Privacy in Interracial Relationships

Note: “interracial relationships” refers to general relationships, not just amorous, sexual, or “intimate.” Although all relationship are intimate, only varying by how much awareness exists within the relationship.

And for how long? A thousand years? Even that is only a moment in the infinite stretch of the eons.

You know that you can’t compare the finite with the infinite.

• The Consolation of Philosophy

Accounting for One thing is hard to do without a Standard Metric.

Without a Standard Metric, accounting for One thing is going to result in an imbalance of judgment if there are any objections.

Let’s consider Hegel’s attempt to create one Standard Metric. Hegel places the objection within the Standard Metric. Part of the formula depends on the objection put forth.

Without an objection, Hegel’s formula doesn’t work.

An example: America’s racism. Without anything being done, there’s an eternal pretense that black people have to explain themselves. There’s an expectation. And there’s a saying, if you’re explaining you’re losing.

The black philosopher in America, then, is the epitome of objection to America. Without a black philosopher, America cannot exist. What exists if the black philosopher in America stops explaining himself? Nothing?

I think Sartre said something like this, but the opposite.

Now, what if a white philosopher were to do the same? The same response, ironically. We superimposed the relevancy of race in the equation and the role it played, the relevancy of race, was obvious. The same role, however, is played by the white philosopher with the same significance.

The significance being that both philosophers acting the same will result in the same* Being.

Now, same and same* are not the same thing but they are. The two philosophers act in similar circumstances in similar ways and get comparable and compatible results. The difference in the similarity would lend some people⁽ᵇʸ ʷʰᵒˀ⁾ to draw distinctions. The significance of which is that the distinction of race is made without an opposite from Nothing. The distinction is not made from a distinction from America. America no longer exists without the black philosopher explaining himself.

The two philosopher can come to the conclusion that the black philosopher is black, but without the pretense that this requires a further justification.

From this Nothingness, there is no depth. Just a platform for induction: from building philosophy.

The difference between the Nothing and America when using each as a platform is that America is, by necessity, dogmatic, pretentious.

Starting from Socrates’ axiom, 1a. know know nothing, we recognize paradoxically our epistemic origin, denounce dogmatic delusions, and encounter dogma with skeptical inquisition for proper accounting.

The Socratic Standard Method would not be one in which all measurements calibrate the method but by which all conclusions validates the method as a positive contribution.

When we look at an apple, each individual has infinite conclusions that can never be explored in its entirety. Each new eyesight establishes a new canvas.

No one exists, until they are witnessed. No one exists until they interact. How interaction occurs determine who. How how is determined is by establishing a communal know know not. In part, to deter from dogma. In part, to allow more efficient free expression.

An unobserved observation is objective. An observed observation is subjective; meaning not subject to objectivity.
