Elaboration 4.4

As we shall see later, total lack of understanding of the difference between human ideation by itself, and ideation in socio, can cause much confusion in social science or mind science. Also becomes philosophy often a set of over-theorized garbles, and the real meaning, i.e. loving knowledge, liking to know, becomes lost. For example, in ethics (nationalist ethics and superstitious ethics) there was the notion of the intrinsic good IN a purely physical thing. The Stoics already knew that the qualification 'good' is not in the thing but is solely ascribed to the thing BY the mind. This, of course, apart from the fundamental fact that the only correct ethics is mondial. There also was the notion of the so-called 'Summum Bonum' and it was usual to define (?) it as the supreme good, whatever that may mean, but always without further elucidation. The term summum, now means indeed the supreme, but also, and the more so, the sum-total. The highest is after all the sum of all parts, is more than any other configuration of some of the parts. Supreme good is practically meaningless, and why should not philosophy, wisdom, be utterly practical? Is simultaneous sexual orgasm with eating, drinking, smoking, urinating, and adding to one's bank-account the summum of happiness, of bonum? On the other hand, there is a notion that we need it, in order to teach its ethical value, and that IS a sum, a total of good, but then for the group, the socio. While we cannot summate the good (s) in a person, we can easily summate the number of persons in a group that have A good, therefore summate the total of the good for the group. I stick to the term 'Summum Bonum' as meaning the latter notion, the good for all. As such, it is possible to discuss the ethical principles with regard to this notion. It becomes very obvious then, that the good for all may never be decided upon when it implies the violation of the rights of one member of the group, of socio. It all is fundamental ethics and only to be mentioned here, not taught in extenso.
