[I am still on the question: Does “intensity” also pertain to the horizontal nested form?
In the last two blogs, I proposed several scenarios that would fit the natural philosophical horizontal nested form.
These scenarios show an increase in intensity. The individual’s choices become more and more demonic. Also, the individual is increasingly shielded from the consequences of ‘his’ actions, placing ‘his’ conscience at higher and higher risk. Then, in a total flight from personal responsibility, the person has become an instrument of a thinkpro-object.
Scenario A is spontaneous: “Oh, this ‘partial good’ will increase pleasure or reduce pain at no cost.”
Scenario B is more calculating, more remorseless: “Oh, this ‘partial good’ will increase pleasure and reduce pain at no cost to me and I don’t care if others suffer.” Of course, the “no cost to me” is delusional and the lack of sympathy makes the sin appear criminal.
Scenario C is intensely sinful.
Scenario C-1 is so intense that the sinner redefines “sin”.]
