Many wannabe philosophers have claimed that they have the ability to write about The Social Contract. Other wannabe philosophers claim that no such thing exists.
Is there a Social Contract which is independent of any particular human being? In order for there to be a Social Contract, it would have to have originated outside the Social Structure. Or again, what Plato demonstrated, that what is Holy, is independent of both gods and men.

The question resolves to this. If the function of a mind is the Intelligible, then what is intelligible is independent of any particular human being, just like what is perceptible is independent of any human being. Therefore, the intelligible is just as real as the perceptible. Some have called this observation, Plato's Theory of Forms, although he claimed no such thing. Form has only one meaning. Mystics claim that the word form differs from itself. Form, shape, limit, etc. is not a theory, it is a physical fact. Shape, form is exists both perceptibly and intelligibly, however, its definition, which is intelligible, does in no wise change. A word does not, by some form of mystic reality change its meaning, for words, in of themselves, have absolutely no meaning. 1, has an intelligible meaning which is applied for perceptible usage. In no way at all, do we change what it means. We do, however apply it according to that convention of names, a convention WE establish or ignore.

So, see if you are a wannabe philosopher, or possibly a real one. If a mind has a well defined biologically determined job to perform and well defined physically determined means of doing that job. Then the intelligible Social Contract certainly exists; intelligibly, but that does not mean that it perceptibly exists. A Mind is an information processor. So, if mankind can even recognize the intelligible Social Contract, than he can write that Contract, as a factual Grammar Book.
Does Man differ from Man qua Man because the intelligible does not exist, or because mankind is not yet intelligent enough to make that truth perceptible?
It is the biological job of an intelligent species to establish the Intelligible assignment to the grammatical names by which it effects social behavior. Not one government today has ever done this. Not one educational system today has done this. Mankind is still incapable of a Social Contract. The human race has not yet applied the principles of Language to the formulation of establishment of Grammar.

In a metaphor; You cannot buy or sell unless you have the mark of the beast.

Day 10.
Relation to Self is Inadmissible. In other words, as we are potentially the most powerful life support system possible, an information processor which relies on the recursion of the definition of a thing, a unit, i.e., a binary information processor, our power is proportional to our literacy. Can one then justify any of their own behavior, or critique the behavior of anyone or anything else, when they, themselves, cannot regulate their own mental processes by using the four basic systems of grammar which binary affords us, Common Grammar, Arithmetic, Algebra and Geometry?
One only starts to recognize what literacy is when they have acquired the intelligence to see the common idea in the many examples, as Plato noted. That common idea, upon which every system depends on, the definition of a unit, a thing, as a binary construct. This means that every thing one says, does, thinks, or accomplishes, their entire life, is proportional to their ability to recursively apply a single definition, and that every behavior, every cause and effect can be made into a visual paradigm using what is called Euclidean Geometry, but which actually does not take a modifier, it is just Geometry. Those who teach other geometries are simply too illiterate to recognize that one is simply one no matter where it is applied.
By definition, there is not now, nor ever has been, a civilization on earth, has never been intelligent life in general. Becoming and Being are not the same.
It is a simple equation as literacy is our own job, for by it we regulate all behavior, the value of our life is proportional to our ability to do our own work. No human, no god, no alien, no alpha animal, can give, or grant, another person's innate biological imperative. I.e, the Social Contract is written into our own biology.
And as written and observed by very few philosophers, there will be no human unity until the principles of grammar are known, and taught, and learnt.
