Originally published at: DELAWARE CIRCUIT JUDGE ALLOWS CORPORATIONS TO VOTE
This odd little story was shared by W.G., and it’s a story with such huge high octane speculation and implication potential, I just have to blog about it. It seems a town in Delaware (where else?) has been allowing corporations to vote in some local elections, and now a superior court judge has upheld their…

Seems the goal of the Enlightenment founders to eliminate metaphysics as a base of authority and replace it with only human authority was a success.

Yep.
Corporations with 22 heads, a thousand an one tentacles, penned into existence in the 1600s, abe to split into several more corporations, yep…
Thats just like TED, whose also a voter.
Not much difference.
Unless; unlike TED, you have at least two grey cells left.
whets next, twisting Article IV, Section 3, Clause 1 in the US constitution and granting corporations statehood and giving them full sovereignty and the right to write their own laws.
No more interference in a company’s activities by pesky state or federal laws and how does that play out if the company operates internationally or even interplanetary?

Good grief… that says a LOT!..
“is so deep and so fundamental that we think John, Helen, James, Susan, and Pfizer are all persons…”
LOL! made me smile! even von der Lugen came into my mind collecting the pharma(temple)coins on the grand global experiment. several thinkers writers said/wrote that the story of Christ was tragic, and the story of the Anti-Christ(s) will be tragicomic. so be it
trading platforms in space, AI battle frigates, Trip Advisor to Betelgeuse, pirates, myths of deep space “Great Wall” and warp-entitites spinning galaxies, the pros and cons of Helium-mining on the Moon, etc…
… eliminate all Metaphysics? … or just a “particular” kind?
The ‘superstitious’ kind used for religious purposes to establish moral boundaries.
… are there any Metaphysics whose nature is not superstitious?
I suppose not if proof of first cause is important.
Well, now its time to make a move and defend ourselves people. If Corpos are individual persons, it’s time for them to start paying individual tax rates and contribute to SS and Medicare.

Apropos of this blog, a quote from today’s lunchtime reading of Financial Vipers of Venice (2012) JP Farrell pg. 114
'With respect to the metaphor , we also observed that in The Vedic and Christian trinitarian versions the metaphor creates not only an initial triadic structure but also the implicit categories of persons , functions, and nature, with persons being closely associated with peculiar functions .This is , as we shall encounter in the next part of this book, the basis for the rise of the doctrine of the corporate person in theology and jurisprudence.
Finally , we noted that the metaphor is always of a both /and dialectical nature, having both theistic and atheistic interpretations, personal and impersonal interpretations, and that all are necessary to maintain in order for a full understanding of the metaphor and its implications . We noted also that in its original understanding , the metaphor is one of fecundity and not tied to notions of debt and sacrifice.’
