Statistically, and historically, never happened. We always need a boost from Above. <br /><br /> That is why the very notion of "Rule of Law" cuts itself off from Divine / Natural Law...its very lawlessness stems from social contract substituting "consent by the governed" (mob rule) over and above authority from God. <br /><br /> This should awaken us as to why our Jurisprudence system was built on a house of cards right from the start. The good and bad we inherited from English Common Law (see Coke, Blackstone) presumes the same things, from a purported atheist, Hobbes. <br /><br /> So yes, we haven't "become" practical atheists, but, system-wise, "were" practical atheists from the start.<br /><br /> So my recommendation to law school students, is to fraternally correct the errant law professors and Judges in public, to stop teaching social contract and Rule of Law as if it were a presumed given. <br /><br /> Study Rene Girard, about mob rule and mimesis, and learn where the fiction of social contract comes from essentially atheist notions. Try to put recalcitrant law professors and Judges out of business, by listing them, so that more attuned professionals will have larger clienteles.<br /><br /> We need to start rewarding those who are more gifted, "above average", and empower them to teach others. That way, everyone benefits, so the average curve shifts upwards.Arthur Sulithttp://www.youtube.com/ArthurSulitnoreply@blogger.com
