THE TYRANY OF FALSE VALUES
i am the youth of the land
i am told that i am inconstant and frivolous
i am accused of being supercilious and cynical
that i do not have the right attitude
and since i do not have the right attitude
my leaders tell me that they do not know where this country is headed for
that they wander with a gloomy sense of foreboding
what shall i do with this land?
when it is left to me as my heritage
when it is willed to me as my own
i am the youth of the land. iam cynical. i do not have the right attitude
but looking around me, i see a wooden platform gaily.. bedecked with red, white and blue of my country..
the band plays the national anthem - my heart swells with pride as do the hearts of the filipino.
shoving and crowding as far as the eye can see.
the speaker rises - the tumult and the clamor dies. he begins.
"fellow countrymen, we should support militant filipinism. we should hold all things filipino in high esteem. we should patronize home industry."
i, the youth of the land, am impressed.
i, the youth of the land, glow with patriotic fervor.
i, the youth of the land, am convince. almost.
for i, with the irrepressible curiosity of the youth. look up and see that the speaker, like myself, is a a filipino - more than that he is my leader.
and he is wearing a hat from Italy,a shirt from new york, trousers from the finest wool of england, shoes from Great Britain, jewelry from France and perhaps, underwear from japan?
i, the youth of the land, am disappointed.
but my leaders say that i am cynical.
and our leaders know whereof they speak.
i am the youth of the land. i am easy going and parasitic. i am irresponsible.
i do not stand before you to whitewash my errors.
i admit, that the accusations hurled against me are in great part true.
but in all justice, in all fairness, in all deference to truth.
do not overburden me with the sins of the world.
do not hold me entirely accountable for our failings.
do not crucify me for a cross, i did not fashion.
for if you, my accusers, are led by the veneer of democracy.
if you are deceived by the sham of formality.
do not expect that i be serious minded and constant.
do not stand outrage if i flaunt the tinseled trappings of my forebears.
if you, my accusers, throw wide open the doors of opportunity to the competent and the incompetent.
if you welcome the responsible and the irresponsible.
do not ask that i be competent, do not demand that i be responsible.
if you, my accusers, have not progressed from politics to statesmanship.
do not demand that i be serious-minded and constant.
that i move the earth at twenty.
for you my leaders are of today and yesterday
yours was the youthfulness that first saw the light of freedom dawn.
mine is the youthful spirit that see the light of liberty imperiled.
yours was the hand that struck the heart of the empire.
mine is the hand born to build eternal.
demand of me. but teach me before you demand.
do not train me to leadership that cannot be mine.
do not show me an indolence i cannot afford.
do not accustom me to arrogance i shall never enjoy.
do not lead me into a way of life i never knew.
for i cannot build without my strength.
i cannot suffer without my hopes.
i cannot live, without my dreams.
i maybe young, i maybe inexperienced. but i am not blind.
i can see the future that i alone can feel for i feel it in my blood.
and i see my leaders who have built a towering mansion of state on sand.
and the sand shifts, the towering mansion falls.
not a pillar stands, for all is ruin.
give me leaders who shall lift themselves above the morass of party strife. who shall devote themselves no longer to a privileged minority but to the cause of the underprivileged majority.
give me leaders, who shall lead lives fraught with hardship and sacrifice.
Who shall demand of themselves before they demand of me.
give me leaders, who shall leave successors tempered in the crucible of merit.
give me leaders, and theirs is my mind to mould.
give me leaders, and theirs is my blood to shed.
give me leaders, and theirs is my will to command.
give me leaders, and theirs is my destiny to shape.
give me leaders, and I shall follow them to the ends of the earth.

Can you provide an example of a catuskoti logical argument?
A catuskoti logical argument is a form of reasoning that allows for four possible truth values: true, false, both true and false, and neither true nor false. An example of a catuskoti argument could be: "This statement is true, this statement is false, this statement is both true and false, this statement is neither true nor false." This type of argument is often used in Eastern philosophy to explore paradoxes and contradictions.
What is the principle of bivalence and how does it relate to the concept of truth values in logic?
The principle of bivalence states that any statement is either true or false, with no middle ground. In logic, this principle is used to assign truth values to statements, helping to determine their validity and consistency in reasoning.
What is an example of philosophy that rejects the idea of universal values?
An example of a philosophy that rejects the idea of universal values is the philosophy of John Stuart Mill in his work 'On Liberty'. Mill argues that diversity and conflict (i.e. differing values) aid a society in progressing. Mill's argument from fallibility demonstrates this. If an individuals voice (i.e.their values) is silenced, to our knowledge what that person had to say could have been 'truth', to deny this statement would be to suppose your own infallibility. In the same way, what that person had to say could have been false, however generally speaking every statement has a portion of truth within it. In either situation however, to deny someone the right to speak their opinion/ values aids society. In the first situation the person contributes to a topic and thus adds to its truth and in the second, the persons incorrect value statement will help to refine and iron out any potential errors in the truth. Mill strengthens this idea through other arguments such as the tyranny of the majority, the argument for diversity and through his work on the development of faculties. Hope this is the kind of example you were looking for.
