THIS SMALL, BUT IMPORTANT, HOUSE HOSTS CRITICAL WORK IN POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY & SOCIAL SCIENCE

Perhaps the most important work in the world, in either the social or physical sciences, has been going on at THE CENTER FOR THE PRINCIPLE & PRACTICE OF LOVE, in Northern New Jersey, principally by this writer, pioneering political philosopher VINCENT FRANK DE BENEDETTO (DeBenedetto.studio).

Our world generally remains little more than a world of pain, from the motorist who gave you the finger on the highway, to the daily dead and mutilated in any of the many wars presently going on around the world, notably including, at present, the Ukraine war and the Gaza Slaughter, the latter apparently initiated by the unspeakable Hamas debacle of October 07, 2023.

In fact, brothers and sisters, the only thing that will redress the way that we treat each other on this planet, would be our wholesale adoption of the principle of brotherly love, that's person-for-person, everybody loving everybody, "Agape" [ugg op' ay, rhymes with "day"] in the language of Greek philosophy.

One might reasonably think that the family of nations has many people working on this task, to refine and promulgate the principle of love...right?

Wrong! The number of individual philosophers, writers, or even religious leaders working specifically on this foundational problem is extremely low. I, Vincent Frank De Benedetto, pioneering political philosopher, and political writer, am such a person. My key starting site is Center4Love.com for THE CENTER FOR THE PRINCIPLE & PRACTICE OF LOVE, physically headquartered in Northern New Jersey (town name ava. upon request).

Even the problems of the autocratic impulses of brother Donald Trump and the murderous impulses of brother Benjamin Netanyahu are easily resolved, and in fact could have been prevented in the first place, by Love, properly understood. Regarding the latter, Brother Netanyahu has evidently never heard of a great American named Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., who, himself, faced intractable enemies, but ultimately bested them with just about no blood spilled, whatsoever, through the creative use of the principal of non-violence. Brother Benjamin would do well to become a student of brother Martin, and indeed my pending New York Times piece is going to argue exactly this!

It's title will be:

"Brother Benjamin, Meet Brother Martin"

THE ACTUAL ANSWER

Here is THE critical point. You heard it here, first, folks, from me: ultimately our focus must not be on Donald Trump or Vladimir Putin, or Benyamin Netanyahu or the October 07, 2023 Hamas brutalist killers, for example. For each of these individuals is just a fairly predictable symptom of a deeply-rooted global problem: lack of Love, properly understood, in and across this world. Would that the behavior of the members of our human family root in, that is, be informed by, Love, brotherly love, Agape [ug op' ay] in the language of Greek philosophy, the entire character and complexion of this world would be radically different. There simply wouldn't be human beings who behave as these men do, in the first place..

Accordingly, Brothers and Sisters, please join me, and a small group of others, in the nascent movement to build a world based on Love, an endeavor of principle and practice that I refer to as THE NEW SCIENCE OF AGAPE.

AND THIS IS PRECISELY THE WORK THAT I'M DOING IN SOCIAL SCIENCE AND POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY AT THE CENTER FOR THE PRINCIPAL AND PRACTICE OF LOVE, THAT IS GOING TO BE UNDERMINED IF NOT DESTROYED IF I LOSE THE CENTER, WHICH IS BOTH MY RESIDENCE AND MY BASE OF OPERATIONS FOR MY MATRIX OF LOVE-THEMED AND LOVE-PROMOTING PROJECTS AND ACTIVITIES.

These activities include:

BOOKS

ARTICLES

TED TALKS

RADIO PROGRAM

YOUTUBE VIDEOS

MUSICAL RECORDINGS

MUSICAL PERFORMANCES

And my own daily personal practice of Agape.

This physical headquarters, the residence that my family has owned for the last 31 years, in which both my beloved mother Jean, and beloved father Frank, ultimately died, is being sold out from under us by the bank to whom we owe about $545,000. As so many other New Jerseyans and Americans, we made the colossal mistake of obtaining a reverse mortgage, and in the end it's biting us ferociously you-know-where.

We've been here 31 years. And if this place goes, so does my music, writing, and philosophy studio, my base of operations in which I've done just about all of most of my seminal writing and research, presented thus far i draft form at LoveProperlyUnderstood.com, Center4Love.com, AgapeOrder.org, and Brotherhood.love, and even exists both implicitly and explicitly in the 2028 U.S. presidential platform that I've written, at VincentForPresident.com.

Having to start my life all over again, beginning with my actual place of residence and new location for The Center, could be a fatally injurious requirement upon my time and resources that could spell the end of my continuing important work in political philosophy and the social sciences, in the area of Agape, specifically.

Therefore, I seek a fund to raise the money required to save THE CENTER FOR THE PRINCIPLE AND PRACTICE OF LOVE, which again, happens also to be our residence of 31 years.

Needless to say, any and all help is accepted with deep gratitude. We are on a very tight schedule, having only until sometime in October 2025 to raise this money.

Bottom line: I'm an unusual person doing unusual work—and I'm very good at it. Work that is absolutely vital to the continued reasonable existence of humankind, if not our actualization. Most, if not all, of the problems that you have, of any kind, ultimately root in the lack of love that is endemic to, and characterizes, global society.
