Elaboration 26

In ideation theory, mind-science, (the science that our so-called social science should consist of), the clear difference between vegetative, animal and human, is translated in degrees of freedom in the ideational process, a choice making capacity. Intelligent ideation then, the human type of ideation, is the third degree of freedom, a freedom to have (one's) ideas at one's disposal, a choice-making capacity that is the only one that extends the rights and duties beyond those of the lower (?) forms. This extra degree (over the animal type) also makes for irrationality, makes stupidity possible, as well as perversity, cruelty, obscenity, pity, but also art, beauty, etc. all of which are characteristics not relatable to animals. The freedom enables us to ask and answer 'how about my rights, your duties', or 'what is the relation between my rights and duties and yours?' Scientifically it is sheer nonsense to declare that so and so are my rights, such and such your duties. The most simple answer then is that we have exactly those rights that we allow to others, exactly those duties that we demand from others.
