For someone who uses terms, such as good and evil quite loosely without defining its terms, you need to develop a conscience IMO. Care . what is said in the talk that belongs to this kind of discourse? What does the conscience call to the human to whom it appeals? Taken strictly, I think NOTHING . GATA in fact says Nothing essential about the gold market; it is like reading a fanciful publication or tabloid that you can buy in your local supermarket. If GATA had a conscience it would summon humans forth to its own creative possibilities, rather than sounding like a dogmatic totalitarian preacher. who does the calling in the call of conscience. In conscience a human being calls itself. As the caller of conscience, a human being is definable by nothing at all. This caller is unfamiliar to those humans who take refuge in the GATA doctrine. It is something like an alien voice. What could be more alien to GATA, lost in the manifold world of its concern, than the free thinking creative Humanist which has been individualized down to itself in its innermost being and been thrown into Nothingness? "It" calls, even though it gives the concernfully curious ear nothing to hear which might be passed along in further retelling and talked about in public. Yes, the gold market gives signals to the astute trader who listens and is not full of GATA.long enough to establish your findings as to the call, and that a human being has been presupposed as having some kind of definiteness or indefiniteness, whichever it may chance? Why should anyone look to alien powers like GATA for information before we have made sure that in starting our analysis we have not given too low an assessment of a human being, regarding it as an innocuous subject that is being controlled and manipulated by evil forces?
