Humans make laws for control, structure and order, in an attempt to effect behavior and actions.
'Notion'; 'Reality'; "Concept'; Mental'; Lawxxanalytic philosophers question these human constructs ad infinitum. Nonetheless, we still employ these suspect terms. The point is that human beings have thought, for thousands of years, that Yahweh sent Moses down to the children of Israel with stone tablets, inscribed by the finger of God, bearing law whereby Yahweh had the notion that he could determine these children in their conduct ; since then, (be it fiction, or, whatever) men have, with tremendous travail, employed "law"; now, I am here pursuing a theoretical destruction of the notion "law", I, we, have to use some semiotic unit to say that Yahweh conceived "law". Precisely brewer, "law", in a very vigorous sense, does not in fact exist as a Platonic form type of being, and so on and so on; however there is a very real sense in which "law" is here, within our sociosphere, and we have reached the point where we so radically over-apply the theoretical construct that is "law", that "law" is become destructive of human beings who quit their businesses because law has required so much of them that they cannot function...and on and on and on...there are examples of our having reached the point in our civilization, where law is a maladaptive means to attaining civilization....Thank you mh.brewer. Negaato.
Man employed law(s) addressing human conduct prior to Yahweh. Using Yahweh as the source or motive for law is a fallacy.
What is your solution to this "maladaptive law" civilization that has been constructed?
Businesses fail for many reasons. A google search indicates that failing to meet legal requirements is a minor cause.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
