( I can’t afford to “woo” women without getting myself in trouble one way or another. So I am just complimentary with all of them – as my mother taught me to be. And following her advice, “Find something nice to say” is pretty much good advice all the way around. It’s just absolutely necessary…

â??Where they have burned books, they will end in burning human beings.â? â?? Heinrich Heine â??We should forgive our enemies, but not before they are hangedâ? â?? Heinrich Heine â??All I really want is enough to live on, a little house in the country… and a tree in the garden with seven of my enemies…

We have made an idea. We are building a thought leadership, and with it, a movement.

The lower your demographic distribution the higher demand for authority to substitute for trust and rule of law. The higher your trust the lower the demand for authority as a substitute for trust and rule of law. The only means of producing trust and rule of law is sufficiently large middle class that generates demand…

SORRY FASCISM WON: AUTHORITARIAN STATE CAPITALISM = NATIONAL SOCIALISM = FASCISM Fascism didn’t fail. Fascism won. The entire world has chosen fascism: National Socialism with it’s extreme intolerance for competition. EVERY polity in the world is moving to ending political competition as dead weight, and is forcing all competition into the marketplace where it is…

UM RELIGIOUS NARRATIVE (Supernatural) > SOCIAL CONSTRUCTION (Sophism) > GENERATIVE ANTHROPOLOGY (Pseudoscience) = LIES AND MORE LIES The Weak Lie, the Able Trade, the Strong Rule. Let me help you. Postmodern social construction is a fashion statement. Generative Anthropology is an updated fashion statement. Both describe the same phenomenon: if we tell enough lies, people…

zzzz….. yet another critic who is a product of the postmodern cult academy. —“Evolutionary psychology has very strict rules, and none of this can be said under those rules. “— Evolutionary psychology consists in an operational rational test of the possibility of construction. It is a means of falsification. It is not a science. it…

—“The story of its ruin is simple and obvious; and, instead of inquiring why the Roman empire was destroyed, we should rather be surprised that it had subsisted so long. The victorious legions, who, in distant wars, acquired the vices of strangers and mercenaries, first oppressed the freedom of the republic, and afterwards violated the…

—Seek to lose count because they were many. There are never enough until there are none.—

—You’re still a moralist and I’m a legalist. The difference is the arbitrariness and imprecision of your position and non-arbitrariness and precision of mine. Ergo I am more confident because I am not troubled by lack of clarity – because I have none.–

—The question is not how many are sufficient for victory. But how few shall be sufficient to tell the tale.—

—Mercy is for your kin, who have erred in character or judgement. Mercy Elsewhere is but folly – let none leave the field. Their place is under it.—

THANKFUL FOR OUR GIFTS by James Santagata I woke up at 3 am. Dry throat. I flipped on a light switch, used the flushing toilet, washed my hands with soap and clean water, had a drink of potable water, checked to make sure my TV was office, that the refrigerator and freezer doors were closed,…

(the demand for national mythos) Um. when the atheists attack mythology – abrahamic or otherwise – they do not specify the means of graceful failure of decidability that mythos provide. That’s why one needs a founding mythos. Because there must exists some means of decision making in the absence of knowledge. Hence why I argue…

THE GREEK CIVIL RESPONSIBILITY NOT PERSONAL RELIGION In his book on the subject, Did the Greeks Believe Their Myths?, Paul Veyne writes: —“Myth is truthful, but figuratively so. It is not historical truth mixed with lies; it is a high philosophical teaching that is entirely true, on the condition that, instead of taking it literally,…

THE GREEK UNDERSTANDING OF GODS —“Homer and Hesiod have attributed to the gods all sorts of things which are matters of reproach and censure among men: theft, adultery and mutual deceit. But if horses or oxen or lions had hands or could draw with their hands and accomplish such works as men, horses would draw…

THE GODS GAVE US FIRE, BUT WE MAD OURSELVES GODS WITH METAL. As far as I know (and I may be wrong) gods gave us fire via Prometheus, but man invented metal. And while Hephaestus is a god of Smiths (and I am not sure how many civilizations have such a thing other than Thor…

YES, THANK YOU WESTERN CIVILIZATION —“The World’s Poorest People Are Getting Richer Faster. In 1820, 94% of the world’s population lived in extreme poverty.
