Volition

Sic Itur Ad Astra by Andrew J. Galambos (V50)


Freedom is the societal condition that exists when every individual has full (i.e. 100%) control over his own property.
            A. J. Galambos
Property is individual man's life and all non-procreative derivatives of his life.
            A. J. Galambos
Truth is that which is observationally known to be corroborable and is common to all observers.
            A. J. Galambos from Course V-50 Session 2
"Property" is the supreme subject of volition, just as "energy" is the supreme subject of physics.
            A. J. Galambos from Course V-50X
There are those who create and those who destroy, and all of history is simply interplay between these two opposite directions with respect to property. One direction adds to property, and the other direction subtracts from property; one is positive, the other is negative.
           A. J. Galambos from Course V-50X
What is treason? Treason is a violation of your principles, whatever they may be. If you believe one thing and then act contrary to them, that is both hypocrisy and treason. It is hypocrisy from the philosophical standpoint and treason from the operational standpoint.
           A. J. Galambos from Course V-50 Workshop 2
I define "negative action" as any volitional behavior that is patterned upon opposition to someone else's products or behavior. Positive action is volitional behavior that is initiating the generation of new property. Only positive action can produce something useful.
           A. J. Galambos from Course V-50 Session 16
An intellectual, by my definition, is a person who arrives at conclusions completely by the use of the scientific method.
           A. J. Galambos from Course V-50 Session 15
The universal fallacy is that a non-proprietary administration of property is more efficient, more just, and, in general, is better for the individual people in the world than a proprietary administration of property.
           A. J. Galambos from Course V-50 Workshop 1
I would define the only possible revolution in volition as the one that turns man's social structure around so that freedom is a reality; wherein everyone is one hundred percent in control over his own property. That is the revolution. Not "a" revolution; that is "the" revolution!
           A. J. Galambos from Course V-50 Session 5
Nature is the source of reality.
           A. J. Galambos from Course V-2, The Nature of the Free World.
The greatest fallacy in the entire history of the human species is the idea that it is necessary to employ coercion to eliminate disorder.
           Andrew Galambos, Course V-2
The concept of happiness is completely subjective and has no maximum. This is very important because if it were not for the fact that it has no maximum, then human motivation would have an end.
           Andrew Galambos, Course V-50
Politics and ideology are two entirely different things; one involves coercion and the other one involves ideas.
           Andrew Galambos, Course V-50
When there is no coercion involved, the gain of one person does not come from the loss of another.
           Andrew J. Galambos, Course V-2 - The Nature of the Free World.
A proper concept of government is a voluntary one.
           Andrew J. Galambos, Course V-2 - The Nature of the Free World.
The creation of Freedom is best served by the efficient and profitable defense of property.
