How does a human differ from a flower? To an intelligent visitor from another galaxy, probably not much. Both take in nutrients, grow, reproduce, and die. The traveler might observe that one moves and the other does not, or see that humans move in repeated patterns and discount the difference. One might note a crucial […]

Of all the horrors modernity brought, tourism may be the worst.

Life presents a challenge: one either accepts it — looking at the whole of the pattern order before us and finding meaning (this requires descending below personality into the inner self, a murky area found in dreams and imagination) — or one tries to find something tangible to fill the void. Tangible things come in […]

Couples in Virginia will no longer have to disclose race to obtain a marriage license We pursue the whole sign of purity, equality. Before it we bow, and all must conform.

Ministers under fire after announcing ‘mega jail’ to be built in Yorkshire despite thousands of objections The Left tells us that what is needed are not more jails, but fewer prisoners; that translates to “relax standards” as the Left always does. In reality, diversity plus social breakdown has produced more people committing criminal acts. If […]

We rewrite history and never are quite sure why. Most of it seems designed to make us feel as if our present time is the best of all possible options, a “fiction absolute” that we rationalize by only mentioning the bad about other eras. Some of it certainly comes from political animus. We cannot praise […]

So let’s say you wake up one morning believing Proposition X. You don’t just factually accept it. As Karl Marx once put it: the idea “tastes good.” This will typically drive anyone who buys into Proposition X to defend it vociferously. It’s now the mental equivalent of a free cheeseburger. Now let’s say further that […]

Trump’s immigration crackdown starts to gain traction Trump denied Bahamian emergency immigration, got support from the Supreme Court on deportation policy and using military funds to build the wall, got Mexico on-board, deployed troops to the border, and is constructing 450 miles of wall.

Immanuel Kant kicked off the revolution in European philosophy that took it beyond universalism, even as he clung to it in part. With universalism, we could assume per The Enlightenment™ that a universal faculty of reason and perception in all people allowed us to posit an objective reality. Without universalism, we have an objective world, […]

Very few people understand conservatism, least of all conservatives. For most on the Right, their beliefs amount to tacit folkways, conventional wisdom, tradition, and a gut feeling that life should be kept as simple as possible and based on what has worked well in the past.

18 years later, America vows to ‘never forget’ 9/11 Is that so? We clearly never learned anything from it. The point of 9/11 was that political unity alone cannot make a nation. We tried; we failed.

War raging across the sciences concerns a simple question: are our traits mostly nature, or genetic in origin as Darwin argued, or is nurture — including indoctrination and socioeconomic status — a bigger factor?

Tariffs are no longer China’s biggest problem in the trade war The decoupling push is quite different than any U.S. efforts to get China to open up more of its economy to American companies.
