Nothing is learned through the senses.  They are learned through the intellect with the aid of senses.  There must be objective laws of nature or tests will go on endlessly.  Subjective opinions can’t be a substitute for objective laws.  The free man must accept natural law.  Otherwise, he’s bending to the arbitrary will of others.  To accept positivism is to cease thinking.  You’re allowing the state to take the place of God. 

It’s critical to note that ethics and morals aren’t the same.  It’s common to hear moral relativism thrown around these days.  Yes, that’s true, morals are relative.  However, ethics are not, and any morals must adhere to ethics.  Morals can vary from society to society.  Ethics are universal for every society.  Morals deal with behavior.  Ethics deal with aggression.  Morals can be relative, but ethics can’t.

The masses have been convinced that positivism is superior to natural law.  Such an absurd notion takes years of propaganda and controlling speech.  A free thinker may want to talk about something that’s forbidden by the overlords.  This may be prohibited by arbitrary man-made law.  The free thinker is then judged by the superficial and vulgar human.  You don’t have to be a genius to figure out what opinion this judge will have of that individual.

These judges will conceal themselves.  In reality, they’re vengeful and will look upon the free thinker with disgust.  He is judged with arbitrary laws.  They may have been determined by popular vote, society, or any method they chose.  It doesn’t matter how these positive laws are created.  They’re always arbitrary.  It’s more than that, it’s a projection of force.  The free thinker has shown he’s not politically reliable.

Objective reality is superior to the senses.  The senses just assist the intellect.  It’s naïve to assume people living today are more intelligent than in the past.  Throughout history, people have had problems and come up with creative ways to solve them.  Just because they might be different, doesn’t mean other ways are better.  Many times, they relied on discovered laws.  Today, it’s the opposite.
