Man and Sin by Piet Schoonenberg (1964) 2.3 QN
[The interscope presumes that the perspective level applies. Sensible construction works as problem solving. ‘I, seat of choice3b’ connects to ‘the potentials inherent in me1a’.]

[The situation level nested form for the imposer looks like: this
I, an instrument of the spirit behind the thought experiment3b( my choice to use sovereign power2b( the potential of my choice to impose objectsorganization on subjects recipients1b))]

[With these two examples, the lower level nested form for the imposer looks like:
A thought experiment3a portrays the world2a as a battle between the good poor ones and the evil rich ones.
The battle2a demands that the organizer fix the world1a.]

[Freedom2a(1a)) to get welfare payments2a goes with words3a(2a.
The subject’s heart is bound to the words of the criteria.
Lawyers may be required to figure out those words.
So, freedom from want2a(1a) translates into bondage2a(1a)).]
[The subject, who wants something2a, accepts dehumanization from the sovereign religion. The subject considers something2a to be free (without responsibility, especially, without working for it).
Consequently, the subject will arrange “his” circumstances to satisfy the criteria of any welfare agency.]

[Can we imagine what the criteria must be?
Well, for one, the transaction would never occur in the open market, even one livened by the yeast of diverse Christian factions. For Christians, there is no “welfare” or “entitlements”. There is only “charity”.
Christians fail their mission at the moment when charity becomes dehumanizing.]

[Now, here comes a different example.
Let me consider the example of “welfare”, defined as transfer payments from (an imputed bad one) to an imputed good one.
Something2a is making funds available according to certain criteria for subjects2a.
Does that sound more humane than forcing subjects to stop smoking cigarettes?
Still, the government agent dehumanizes.
Who is the subject that fits a particular criteria?
A dehumanized person is.]
[The me1a who is capable of imposing costs and regulations on subjects2a is also capable of dehumanizing others3a.
The imposer’s I, seat of choice3b, situates the normal context of the mirror of the world3a as ”his” own3b. The imposer is courtier to the king.
The imposer imagines that “he” both owns and is owned by the mirror of the world.]
