This and all other postings are WORKS IN PROGRESS. Each selection is added to, corrections made, and questions asked are answered as needed. I add new findings as they become available, often before proofing.

“Polarity” is right behind emotion as “the great spoiler” of rational potential. In rational context, “polarity” defines a force that must be understood so it can be managed, and purposely avoided; otherwise the prognosis is profoundly grim.

Not only can polarity cripple your ability to be objective, and rational, one could say with complete accuracy, that polarity reduces your “worth” from that of a Chief Executive Officer to a the level in which you would need to compete with others for minimum wage.

Beyond polarity in one's personal life, in business, government, and various specializations, polarity is considered the ultimate “tool.” Unless, and until, one has a clear rational understanding of polarity, and few people today do, one is highly susceptible to professionals who are masterful at using polarity in the public arena.

In the physical world, common metals are easily inclined and susceptible to the influence of polarity. The manipulation leaves these metals polarized with magnetic biases: positive, negative. Thereafter, regardless of how thin the polarized metal is sliced, it will maintain its polarity.

One can even take a section of common metal, strike it on whatever, and it will polarize from the “trauma.” The “of-low-value” ordinary metal has no integrity “to be,” to have its own inner objectivity. Rather, it is subject to outside influence; it is subjective.

Nor does the common metal have a noble characteristic to endure, “to be,” or remain true to itself. Not of a precious nature, but useful for its physical strength, the common metal is sold by the ton.

Though the common element appears substantial, hard and permanent within its makeup, it lacks an objectively defining structure. Therefore it subject to forces outside itself, even to unseen elements, traces of airborne moisture, and even the surrounding air itself. Those surround components are so slight, soft and simple, they would appear no match for the common metal's outwardly visible strength and substance.

The air/moisture combination has the integrity to resist polarization, but the less-than-noble metal, lacking inner objectivity and integrity, is susceptible to corruption and will rust when exposed to even such frail and unseen elements.

Noble metals, such as gold and silver, just two among others, are not subject to the galvanizing influence of polarity. One could say that noble metals have an objective integrity and will not be polarized by outside forces. They simply are. They endure and remain committed to their original inner objective, and retain that objectivity forward into whatever role they are cast. They are of great value to the universe. They are truly precious, their worth measured in weight factored down to the minutest portions, even to a factor comparable to no more heft than that of a sparrow's breath.

In a physical context “noble” is a general term used to classify precious elements. The “word is,” itself, based on the name given to an early English coin, “the Noble,” originally defining a standard of weight that royal subjects could look to for a uniform and universal standard of value. It was eventually subject to repeated debasing by the King. Yet it still remained a “noble standard,” as the nobility the King represented had decreed the lower weight.

In the realm of logical thinking, what is noble, versus what is common, is determined by whether one has allowed oneself to be galvanized by polarity.

One that is polarized is entirely subjective to a common single “pole,” regardless of other options, all of which cannot even be considered - “Don't confuse me with facts! My “mind” is made up.”

Once polarized, the attraction is singular and attracts THE OPPOSITE of its singular “intention.” The choice of an objective is no longer possible when choice is determined by a singular magnetic pull predetermined by polarity, which is decidedly one-sided.

People who choose not to allow a singular attraction's agenda to galvanize them are rare, of extreme value to the universe, and are defined as “noble” in rational context, which indicates one who is to be “honored” for being intellectually objective; such as expected of those elevated to “the bench” as Judges. Note their being addressed as “Your Honor.”

Maintaining one's integrity to remain rationally objective is also how the universe allows the individual to SET their worth, that level of value is soon revealed to all within their universe.

The level of value one chooses is obvious to the extreme: From the least on the social ladder, to the highest, all will discern - not assume or “guess,” but know. This as what one becomes, becomes something that cannot be hidden. One reflects outward, most obviously, the inward limitations polarity reflects, such as the narrowing of focus, emotional fluttering, lack of objective judgment and stunted intellectual maturity.

Unless one understands the rational concept of polarization, there is no defense against their primitive tribal proclivities to be galvanized by issues generating intense emotional reactions. Once they allow themselves to embrace that specific polarity, the term defining their further lack of objective judgment is “prejudice.” “Prejudice” is delineated as “pre-judged.” I am not wanting to be crude and insensitive in giving this its common label, however, the choice is not mine, but society's own: Brain dead.

Once polarized and subjective to an issue, from that point the victim's decisions in that arena are not going to be rationally right. This as they are left emotionally driven, left with but one vision of an issue. What could rightly be defined as surrendering their inherent right to consider all views for the right resolution.

The reality is: Our species is an emotional one; that is certain. There are conflicting opinions as to how much, percentage wise; we are dominated by our emotions. As I have no studies to confirm MY OPINION, I believe we are all, without exception, 100% emotional.

This remarkable gift allows our species the extraordinary ability to define outcome accurately, using acquired factors of universal laws. All the way down to the structure and power within the atom, and on to the edges of our Universe, the ability to rationally define outcome by law may awe us. The rational process is, however, just now being addressed as the object of study at the most basic level of personal management. This focus on rational prowess is in its infancy, just as emotion was when it finally addressed as a subject for study in the early 1900's.

Our “police” enforce the “policy” of the polis, based upon their current “polarization” regarding social “problems.” This policy is so labeled, as it is an expression of what is “popular,” even considered by the polis as “polite,” along with all else that is expressed by the “pop” culture.

At a time in history when rational literacy is rare, thus an understanding of polarity is seldom defined; people are easily polarized by the galvanizing influence of emotion, voiding their objective intellectual capacity to a subjective level, at which point conclusions are conspicuous in their lack of rational balance.

In addition to the loss of access to rational power from polarization, just as a magnet will, over time, attract a layer of all manner of debris, so will the polarized intellect, eventually corrupting other aspects of their long-term perspective.

One can have great intelligence, education and “means,” the advantages of which are voided the very instant one is polarized and therefore removed from their capacity for objectivity.

Though I find it grievous to observe, I suggest you would find it instructive to observe highly educated, profoundly intelligent people with status and privilege, abandon their hold on rationality and demonstrate the shrill emotional nonsense so characteristic of a polarized intellect.

It is profoundly sobering to witness people that are looked up to, for their intelligence, to be charged with crimes, or making public statements and acting in ways that make them appear idiotic. This in areas they could effectively address, were they not polarized by emotion.

Polarity does have a dignified role in society. It has a long history of being used for the betterment of society. In times of national crisis, no other “tool” does what polarity can accomplish.

Polarity should not be broadly labeled as inherently “bad,” no more than countless other areas of specialized knowledge that, in the wrong hands, can also be used in a negative, even destructive application. The aspect of abuse in any skill can be particularly insidious when a technology is a closely held trade secret.

A common example of the polarity craft used for good of a society would be in leading citizens to a polarity of noble objectives. The historic role of polarity throughout history has been for its use by leadership to bring about long-term progress towards national objectives, to define national goals that evolve a nation to a higher level of achievement.

Yet, at the same time, when a professional uses polarity against rationally illiterate citizens, they can be nearly defenseless against the effects of skillfully crafted emotional issues meant to polarize.

The same skills can be used, however, in profoundly evil ways to polarize with themes appealing to a singular premise, which must be somehow crafted to be subject to the moment. Emotions are most easily inflamed in a context of instant gratification, and at that level are most easily accessed to inflame emotions and effectively polarize.

In negative practice, polarity can defeat rational considerations of negative long-term consequences that are left, both for their future, and, often, generations yet to come.

Ignorance of the rational context of polarity among at least 50% of the voters in a polis is usually how “bad” policies are empowered.

In rational prowess, you can only grow to the extent you know. In addition to the rational literacy you have just acquired, or just reviewed, rational self-understanding and an objective attitude based upon, and directed at, long-term goals, are an effective counteragent to the debilitating effects of polarization.
