[Progressives prefer forced over unforced conversion.
The material outcomes appear identical.
But the immaterial outcomes are not.]

[Progressives cannot account for the immaterial world.
They cannot see it.
Categorical associations open the opportunity to envision how Progressives immaterially (or spiritually) gain from imposing their organizational objects.]

[In the case of giving up smoking, the overt behavioral change of unforced conversion appears identical to the change induced by forced conversion.
Progressives do not see that there is an immaterial difference.
Why?
They are committed to a materialist ideology.
Big Government Liberalism is the Materialist Ideology that won the Cold Battle Among the Enlightenment Gods (1945-1989), otherwise known as ‘the Cold War’.
Is it no better than the material ideology that lost the war?
Satan casts out Satan.
Yet, “his” house still stands.]

[Smoking tobacco cigarettes2H is attractive1H. It interrupts repetitive patterns of negative thoughts.
Smoking tobacco cigarettes2H is dreadful2H. It ruins my lungs.
The contradiction may empower the potentials1V underlying my choice2V.
Thus, information3H becomes available to I, seat of choice3V, only indirectly.]

[My choice2V increases my responsibility3H(2H (to take care of myself and retrain my dispositions) and freedom2H)1H)) (by expanding my potential for good health).
I, seat of choice3V, indirectly responds to the call by reason3H.]

[I, seat of choice3b, may or may not notice when the mirror of the world3a admonishes desire1a.
When it does, the interscope turns into an intersection.
My values1b originally justified the satisfaction of my desire1a for relief from repetitive negative thoughts.
Now, the mirror of the world3H says that smoking is bad for my health.
My desire1H still wants a cigarette.
If I value1V my health, then I must choose2V differently.]

[My potentials are inclusive and contradictory. The call3H does not directly contextualize all the current potentials in me. It contextualizes one1H.
The calling potentials1H may not support the current choice1V.
In the example of smoking, the mirror of the world3H admonishes the potentials in me1H.
It tells me that my desire1H is dangerous.]

[True conversion occurs when a feature in the mirror of the world offers the truth. The something2H that appeals to a potential in me1H does not contain value1V.
Value1V conflicts with desire1H.
This discrepancy calls for a choice2V.]
