A friend of mine sold a property in town. His comment, when I congratulated him, was that he would have asked more if he had known about the taxes. Property taxes, capital gains taxes, licensing fees, and then income taxes on any rental he was paid before he sold. Taxes make people greedy. When you […]

Poor toilet hygiene behind E. coli superbug spread Back in the early 2000s, we were spreading the Third World USA trope (verbal meme) as a way of describing what happened after Bill Clinton took over. Standards relaxed; interpretations relaxed. Everyone got liberalized. This meant that “anything goes” replaced “do it right the first time” as […]

The Right prides itself in being a big tent where anyone who is not following the unrealistic path to egalitarianism can hang out. We are not united by one big ideal, like “equality,” as the Left are; instead we have gut instincts, common sense, history, and an ideal of being both realistic and reaching for […]

Where destruction is the motive, unity is dangerous. For example, if I have evil intent and I galvanize that evil intent with many others, the capacity to destroy is immense. Where goodness is the motive, unity is phenomenal and actually has some good issues to it.- Ravi Zacharias On June 26, 2015, the US Supreme […]

Nature’s Solution to Climate Change People are only beginning to understand ecosystemics, which is a way of thinking about events as polycausal, both giving and getting, and over the iterations of time that make simple, direct acts less effective and indirect, mutually beneficially acts enduring. For example, whales take a lot from the oceans, but […]

Candidates nervously discuss automation. Inevitably, it means that jobs will be replaced — the usual metaphor is that you do not see many buggy whip makers anymore — but even more, there is the fear that we will not have enough jobs for people to move to from what they do now. On the other […]

Watching television is like taking black spray paint to your third eye. – Bill Hicks What do you believe? And from where did it come? All which we believe may indeed depend upon our environment in which we grew up with addition to whether we rejected or accepted that environment, of which has the potential […]

Herman Mashaba: Johannesburg’s black mayor resigns over DA race row Black politician resigns white party after it elects politician who praises “some” aspects of colonialism. This shows South Africa recognizing, as the rest of the world is, that multi-racial and multi-ethnic societies cannot function because they have paradoxical goals: they either try to keep everyone […]

Every civilization needs a mission statement to hold it together. The best mission statements, ironically, turn out to be those which are not language at all, but genetic similarity leading to a similar interpretation of culture. Some prefer the idea of the ideological state, where citizens are united by their pursuit of a particular political, […]

Choosing the next King of an Empire has been a thorn in organizational stability across the ages. Nature abhors a vacuum, as the saying goes, which explains why succession remains an enduring problem even in business: The relationship between succession planning and successful succession has shown mixed results, with some authors finding a positive relationship ( […]

Air pollution is now a ‘health emergency’, head of NHS England warns It turns out that our modern inventions — petrochemical motors, agricultural chemicals, and dense urban areas — are killing us. What should we do? We could go back to living in smaller communities, having tighter bonds, and using less stuff, or we could […]

In the theory of modern society, a “social contract” exists between government and citizens, whereby government protects the citizens and citizens pay taxes to government. Critical thinking offers a different look: government offers pleasant notions that citizens pay taxes to support. For example, we had the New Deal and Great Society programs, both of which […]

Mind Matters (1981) by Marguerite Iwersen 116 pages, DeVorss, $6 We might view history as a great lattice of paths, with some coinciding in nexuses where certain ideas reach clarity, sort of like how learning staggers from plateau to plain and then repeats that pattern at a higher level. Mind Matters explores where hermeticism, German […]

China has destroyed large areas of one of Tibet’s biggest Buddhist sites, satellite images reveal Control is addictive. If you understand cause and effect, you change cause to shape the world toward what you intend; this does not allow you to get exactly what you want, have it apply uniformly to all cases, or happen […]

Most people today have no idea both of the great spectacle of the fall of the Soviet Union and, prior to a few years before that fall, how terrifying the Communism presence was to those of us threatened by their nuclear missiles and tanks. They also tend to forget that the Communists stated their goal […]

The book featured above is the LD50 gallery publication about Neoreaction, an extreme libertarian movement that wants to create an extreme realist fascism by formally recognizing the financial incentives behind government and making them transparent. It operates more as a thought experiment than anything else. In a Neoreactionary world, society would be divided up into […]

Keeping the peace among diversity contributes to a rise in police suicides increasing as more different populations share the same nation: Almost 60% of femicide-suicides were committed by men working in the police force, security industry or armed forces, says the study’s lead author, Women in relationships with men in these professions are at significantly […]

When we write the history of American healthcare, it will center on a policy of successive sabotage by which politicians wreck the existing system so that they can demand it push closer to the socialist ideal of “socialized medicine” or in the contemporary jargon, “single-payer.” This began with the sabotage of our charity hospital system […]

On this site, you will find a slightly unorthodox view of life because many of our writers come at it from the perspective of nihilism, or an extremist realism where there are no universal truths, values, or communications. This differs from relativism, which holds that whatever you perceive is absolutely true, as if each person […]

China’s economic growth slows to 27-year low Globalism has ended. Apparently, like most Leftist programs, it relied on the economic stimulus caused by moving money from wealthier areas to poorer ones, since this enables people to “generate economic activity” through scams and lowest common denominator products which are the biggest contributors to landfill. The West […]

Western Civilization encountered multiple crises at once. This typically happens when one “levels up,” or succeeds on one plateau and then moves to the next, where a series of entirely new challenges await. In contrast to linearity, developments in life occur in staggered stages, with some new developments opening up new fields, causing a plateau […]

Those of us in the modern time grew up in a bubble, and we went through an awakening to get where we are now, which leaves us in a vacuum between knowing what we do not want and what we will eventually desire. Each bit of figuring out our destination, and our plan for getting […]
