Eudaimonia & Eudaimonian Ethics
Classification Δ (1st Tier)
The following is a description of the antinomian Eudaimonian, open to interpretation but how about a suggestion? To begin the discussion let us say that everyone is some kind of ‘cian. A shaman does a group dance with the collective erection, the phallic suggestion.
Consider the group signifier, classification Alpha (4th Tier).

“The Soul of Union is the universal dialectic.” - The Artifice, 2:2.
Civilization is no longer Egyptian. Civilization is passing through the era of the Laodicean, so says the Eudaimonian, once a Corinthian. Everyone is some kind of ‘cian.
The Church of Eleutheria are a massive market in The United States of America, condemning the previous era, Laodicea.
So says Isaiah: “Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow. … And I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counselors as at the beginning: afterward thou shalt be called, The city of righteousness, the faithful city.” There are no rules. Only conduct, which you pick up as you go along.
The Church of Eleutheria is a Psionic assembly. All of this could just be an historical opinion, proven wrong tomorrow. There’s no such thing as either one of them: yesterday or tomorrow. There’s no such thing as either one them: the author or the text, the spectator or the actor. So no matter what I’m charging you because there’s no such thing as either one of them. Yet, because cannot be because because causes the being not to be.
Salute one another with a holy kiss.

The philosopher Nietzsche strove towards an ethos that was “beyond good & evil.” The Eudaimonian has achieved a virtue of the soul which places the Eudaimonian in a central position, a neutral ambition, neutral beyond good & evil yet possibly in direct competition with those of slave morality.
An Eleutherian attains master morality and lives ethically by keeping the knowledge of good & evil in close proximity without polarity; no warring duality. The Eleutherian raises the stakes of the Eudaimonian.
The responsibility of the Eudaimonian is very much in league with the utilitarian – the maximum amount of happiness for the maximum amount of people. The Eleutherian asks the Eudaimonian: “How can we make this possible?”
To which the Eudaimonian replies: “By making knowledge practical.”
The Eudaimonian does not engage in hypocrisy.
The Eudaimonian can & should believe in appearances rather than representations, since, in the contemporary age, symbolism is working through simulacrum. Iconoclasm! Beliefs are so diverse, wide-ranging & far-reaching that the Eudaimonian can & should place the object of their faith in the article that brings forth excellence, in that the Eudaimonian can use belief as a means to achieve excellence as an end. Belief is the means, excellence is the end. The Eudaimonian can freely discard such belief at will in the very moment that belief begins to hinder excellence, unless challenging paradigms through which ordeals take place, contrary to desire, can prove excellence greater?
The Eudaimonian appreciates everything for its own set of virtues like playing a musical instrument or carpentry. Carpentry may well be more useful than sophistry. The virtue of playing a musical instrument and being proficient at it are the same in that they both require a specific skill set. The Eudaimonian possesses a skill set which allows themselves to excel at a specific task.
The personification of the virtue of beauty can be enhanced by erotocizing the soul, indulgence in fetishes, or transmutation of emotional grievances, like jealousy, hurt, or betrayal, towards the libidinal. The libido shares such a strong link to betrayal because it is also so closely associated with being loyal.
The gift of knowledge is freely bestowed upon the Eudaimonian, an acquisition of the individual soul. Rather than being the knower, the Eudaimonian becomes the artificer. There are stark contrasts between these two states of mind. An artificer does not try to make justice or equality. A trial-by-error system, with the subject as hypothesis within a scientific experimentation, lacks the control conditions and objective standards associated with those conditions of stasis. The great philosopher Socrates, under the guidance of his own personal daimon left justice and equality to the courts & the sophists respectively. The pursuit & furtherment of knowledge was the subjecthood of Socrates’ own personal enquiry. It was those of the courts & the sophists, whose gods Socrates dared to change that sentenced the man to death.
The artificer makes, generates, constructs myth, contrives, self-suffices, intrasubjects, makes its own morality & affirms discontinuity.
Eleutheria goes higher than Eudaimonia. Eudaimonia is concerned with the work of the lower whereas The Eleutherian is a militant prayer concerned with affecting subtle changes in the higher. The Eudaimonian appreciates that to understand something through struggle is an achievement. Strive to achieve higher.
The Eudaimonian is a virtuous egoist, but if the egoist is the problem then the virtue is inculcated. Likewise, if the virtues are ambiguous then the will is vacuous. If your will be vacillating, cry it down as dangerous.
