Absolutism

Absolutism is a rare place of congruence
In truth. It imparts divination a feeling of finding a truth as if with God.

Martin Luther King clearly had a spiritual connection with God

Truth no matter how temporarily defeated always prevails in reality.

That is the bridge to an anthem that plays the chords of absolutism.

Some truths are self evident.
Absolutely

Ideological Absolutism

A quality of human behavior which causes us to take absolute stances on ideas and then to define ourselves based on these stances. A major cause for division and conflict amongst humanity.

If it weren't for ideological absolutism we would have so much unity amongst humanity.

moral absolutism

The opposite of moral relativism, moral absolutism refers to belief in absolute moral grounded in God. Note that moral absolutism is both absolute and not absolute. As the magisterium of the Catholic church discerns more of God's truth and we understand His will better, they adapt their absolute definition of morals to reflect the newfound truth. However, this truth has been there all along and we were just doing it the wrong way previously, so it is the absolute truth (I think, but I'm not sure. Too much Catholic politics).

The Catholic church claims to have always followed a principle of moral absolutism. In the middle ages, it was discerned that indulgences were OKAY. After Martin Luther did the East–West Schism, the Catholic church found itself with less power and affluence due to its reduced size, so it went back to the Bible and reinterpreted it to mean that indulgences are NOT OKAY.

bio-absolutism

Proffers that society is a dialectic between people with high levels of sex hormones and people with low levels of sex hormones.

Anathematic to historical materialism which posits that society is a conflict between high-capital people and low-capital people.

Bio-absolutism is the rhizomatic (Guattarian) counterpart to Marx's dialecticical materialism.

Theory of Constructed Absolutism

The insight that claims of absolute, unchanging truth (divine command, totalitarian ideology, scientific certainty) are not the antithesis of construction, but its most aggressive form. Absolutism is built by rigorously eliminating contradictions, declaring its foundations sacred or beyond question, and constructing entire social systems—laws, education, punishments—to reinforce the illusion that its truth is eternal, natural, and not a human-made edifice. It's construction that denies its own constructed nature.

Example: "The dictator's cult wasn't just belief; it was the Theory of Constructed Absolutism in action. His every word became 'The Eternal Truth.' History was rewritten, art was purged, and critics vanished to construct a reality where his rule was as absolute and unquestionable as gravity. The 'absoluteness' was a terrifyingly elaborate social production, maintained by fear and spectacle, not a fact of the universe."

absolution

Third album by the British band MUSE considered by many to be their best. Considered by others to be highly overrated. Still one hell of an album.

I just bought Absolution.
