"A brief introduction to the
metaphysical,
epistemological, ethical and aesthetic systems
of
Administrative Philosophy as discerned by The Sage to his
fellow truth
seekers."
Hail to the sage for he has discovered a new branch of philosophy. This branch has been with us always, but has not been recognized as a complete metaphysical, epistemological, ethical, and aesthetic system. His observations open the door for deeper understanding as the post-literate generation enters the information age. Let us examine the great truths he has observed.

One day the sage noted the large number of memos and minutes in his mail box portraying some sort of reality. He noted that what is said and done is temporal. But, after all is said and done, the one thing that remains is the minutes. The minutes are everlasting and true. That which is eternal and unchanging is true reality. All else is illusion. |
Secondly, on another day upon seeing an esteemed colleague heavy laden with freshly printed papers, he quipped, "Creating more reality." The colleague was instantly enlightened.
Instead of the mind being a blank sheet writ upon by experience, reality is that which is written on blank sheets of paper.
From these two closely related incidences one gets a glimpse of the new philosophy:
It is neither empirical nor rational.1. It is not empirical. The creatures who dictate the paper
reality are not seen observing what is to be seen, yet
the pronouncements keep coming.2. It is certainly not rational. Whereas the Lord God said
"Let there be light and it was so," these gods send a
memo stating that there is light. Using parallel
construction, whereas DesCartes said "I think therefore
I am," the paper says "I proclaim, therefore it is so."3. It is not eastern. The Buddha said "The map is not the
territory." The map is the only reality in this paper
landscape. The creators change the territory by
redrawing the map.4. It is not western as it lacks analysis of the parts.
