Since no one challenged my assertion that most people developed their individual philosophies of life based not on philosophical truth but rather based on their emotions, feelings, perversions of the flesh (lust), and all types of greed, I assume that you agree with me. That is another point I have won in the debate of true values.
Since people have philosophies based on elements of the heart (feelings), these philosophies, not being based on truth or fact, are not intellectual in nature whatsoever. The philosophies of men, although they may be true, are usually not reasoned out philosophies.
Cloacking devices are psychological philosophies invented to obscure the real man and provide an excuse for deviant behavior. That is the point I wish to establish today. Among other things, it will be pointed out that the true challenge of the intellectual man is to overcome cloacking devices, which he himself has invented that keep him from knowing the truth.
One very obvious cloacking device is the philosophy that there is no moral standard of behavior other than man's determination of what is good. My assertion is that this is the "big excuse" that allows men and women to invent morals that allow them to do any sexual deviant act imaginable. After all, they say, there is no one or thing to answer to other than one's self. That is a very narcissistic point of view but that is the view of most liberals. They decide when it is moral to abort children; they decide who should be locked away in insane asylums; they decide who should be allowed to speak on Lit. Forum; it is all about them and they invent the philosophy that allows all this to happen.
