Summary

This is Volume Two of The Ant Matrix Series, a tetralogy that navigates the intricate landscape of moral science, serving both as an analysis of moral philosophy and a prequel to personal development. This installment challenges conventional methods and encourages a deep reflection on our ethical understanding. Questioning the assumptions of all perspectives, diving into passiveness, trust, and the consequences of detachment from social struggles. Here, we explore the notion that we can achieve not through conquest but through the recognition and encouragement of higher thoughts. Diving deep into the consequences of competition and the generational effects of our collective actions. Bridging philosophy with psychology, religion, neuroscience, and evolutionary biology. Moral science seeks not just to understand how we make ethical decisions. Recognizing that, while many share the same ethical conclusions, there is often conflict in interpretation. The genuine conflict lies with the few, whose self-importance overshadows the many, intending to keep them there in order to push themselves further ahead. Hope arises as humanity realizes that we are not as far apart on many issues as were made to think.
We also explore fate, often seen as "whatever happens will happen." Placing us in the hands of those who understand that we are masters of our own fate. Moral science can offer insights and solutions. Understanding the mechanisms of human interaction and that fate is shared by all. Examining our societal structures as if we're diagnosing a computer with a virus. Who installed this virus, and how do we remove it? Moral science not only helps us identify the source but also equips us with the tools to combat it.
This volume invites the reader to envision a world where moral science helps us to overcome differences. Navigate the complex terrain of ethical growth, individual and societal advancement. To make a commitment to forge paths towards a more informed world, recognizing common perspectives that unify us, and at the same time encouraging constructive individual expression.

Author Biography

I was born in the United States and grew up in the Midwest. My youth was plagued with teaching and examples of lives lived with poor philosophy. One where self esteem and confidence were seen as a threat to those around you. Inevitably, I begin to follow the path of my inherited predecessors only to sense that life held greater meaning. Fortunately, I got in just enough trouble that people intervened and I discovered a new world. My mind still carried the trainings of poor philosophy and often found myself afraid to try. Encouraged by watching those who seem to have it figured out, I eventually would gather the strength to make the effort. I lived a life free of choices that would bring more problems, yet, I found myself a victim of misplaced pride. The kind that seems to leave most people trying to figure life out themselves, when the answers are there if they would just look or ask. Reaching a point where there were some successes, most the reward went to someone else. I had always been curious about the differences in social classes and humans themselves. Through a series of circumstances and a victim of someone else's imposed self importance, my confidence taking a major blow, I began to wonder what I had missed. My search led me to those who teach personal development. Unveiling two powerful statements "We become what we think about, most of the time" and "If you don't have plans for yourself, you will fall into someone else's plan, and guess what they have planned for you...not much." These statements and continued research into the Law of Attraction and Cause and Effect created an overwhelming desire to become a student of the Moral Sciences. Compelled to find the answers the problems that seem to be a human condition and have existed within humanity as far back as we can see. There are answers, they are there. Unlike anything else that follows a natural order, humans feel they have a choice and not unlike myself are determined, sometimes defiantly, to prove their freedom in those choices. Those who follow a path without much resistance seem to do well. They don't see choice or discipline, more that is what needs to be done and just do it without much thought. This research has become a quest and I am enjoying the freedom of thought that comes with it. Obviously so much so that I can't even write a bio without it become philosophical. So here is bio: I was born in Des Moines , Iowa in 1968. My family moved to a small rural town in Southern Iowa when I was very young. I have three brothers. I can start to remember my youth living in the country a long a gravel road, starting school and making friends. Eventually, we moved from the country to a town of around 5,000 people called Chariton. This new exposure to more people is when life seemed to bring a new awareness to the world around me. When I was around 5 years old my mother had some kind of a nervous breakdown, was institutionalized and I never really saw here again until my late teens. My dad eventually remarried and with her came 3 additional step siblings. We were quite poor and my dad didn't work much. As we got older there were lots of problems and everyone one of us had some level of accountability to the legal system. I can't recall any of leaving home on our own accord. Most all of us, except for one brother who went into the army to avoid it, left home in the back of a police or social workers car. On our way to some sort of juvenile detention center, jail or prison for a few. I was sent to a youth drug and alcohol treatment center at age 17, ending up in Ames, Iowa. Surrounded by different things I saw a new freedom and built a life unassociated, with little exposure to my immediate family. In spite of struggles, with some mentorship I secured a spot in the middle class. I got married and had 3 girls and am grateful that I could be the father I hoped to be. This leads me back to where this started and on to where it goes. I'm excited for this journey.
