[With conversion, I, seat of choice3V, chooses something worth choosing2V that may conflict with many of my own tendencies1H.
I resolve my internal conflict by training my desires1H.
I begin to exercise new potential in me1H.]
[There is more potential in me1a than can be reflected by any human-instituted mirror of the world3a.
Conversion increases the person’s responsibility and freedom.
Regulation reduces the person’s responsibility and freedom.]
[Should harmful practices and behaviors be regulated?
The question is, of course, rhetorical.
It is the question posed by the Big Government Liberal in the mirror of the world3a.]
[The Progressive desires to organize opposition to tobacco products.
The Progressive pretends that a healthy lifestyle is an object that brings the individual into organization.
Is that Satanic?
No, if it aims to build the person’s character, to inform “him” of the consequences of “his” actions.
Yes, if it aims to impose the objectorganization upon the individual through sovereign power.
The former builds a person of greater responsibility and freedom.
The latter does not.]
[When I smoke habitually, my entire heart may grow larger.
I may convince myself that I am brave and accept responsibility.
But I know that I, seat of choice3V, have chosen recklessly.
My own heart2 betrays what I could have been1V.]
[Health-minded institutions not try to regulate human behavior by demanding sovereign power.
They should try to influence human behavior by presenting facts that induce dread.
This is the opposite view from Big Government Liberalism.]

[If governments do not regulate tobacco cigarettes, then the subject’s responsibilities and freedom increase.
Health-minded institutions must step in.
They must remind the smoker of “his” responsibilities and freedom.
In doing so, they build character.]
[Progressives prefer forced over unforced conversion.
The material outcomes appear identical.
But the immaterial outcomes are not.]

[Progressives cannot account for the immaterial world.
They cannot see it.
Categorical associations open the opportunity to envision how Progressives immaterially (or spiritually) gain from imposing their organizational objects.]

[In the case of giving up smoking, the overt behavioral change of unforced conversion appears identical to the change induced by forced conversion.
Progressives do not see that there is an immaterial difference.
Why?
They are committed to a materialist ideology.
Big Government Liberalism is the Materialist Ideology that won the Cold Battle Among the Enlightenment Gods (1945-1989), otherwise known as ‘the Cold War’.
Is it no better than the material ideology that lost the war?
Satan casts out Satan.
Yet, “his” house still stands.]
