Conservatism Means Big Business
It does? I heard this comment just the other day. A huge problem with political discussions is created, when people habitually conflate political parties with political philosophy. They’re not the same, even if they’re closely related. If you want to get clarity and truth: separate the two in every discussion. I recall vividly an example that I learned in the 7th grade, about how information is distorted through translation. We started with a short story written on a small piece of paper. The first student in a row read the story, and then turned around and quietly repeated the story by whispering in the next student’s ear. This continued until we had gone through about twenty students, and the last student had to stand up and repeat the story as he understood … Read entire article »

Centrism is Perfect!
Want this t-shirt? What is it about centrism that makes it attractive to so many people? If you take a look at the definition below, it’s obvious why it’s so attractive. Everything about it is attractive, because no tradeoffs are considered, and no logic is explored. It’s the perfect place to be on the political landscape, because occupying the center is considered in this day and age to be, the most reasonable and respectable place for a person to be. If both sides are bad, then some combination in the middle makes sense. Right? You don’t hear the media condemning centrists. Do you? Think about a straight line political continuum. Note that the left and right reside … Read entire article »
Some Possibilities for Centrism
I’ve yet to meet a centrist that is comfortable or capable, of defining centrism. When offered a few choices such as those below, they don’t seem to like the options. When asked about other possibilities, they can’t think of any options on their own. If you’re a Philosophical Center type of centrist, then you’re claiming a middle ground that is not known to exist in philosophy. As an example, what is the middle point between objectivism and subjectivism? That’s a tough one, I know… If you’re a Political Center type of centrist, then you’d be claiming that your views are in between the prevailing views of your country, state, etc. This would mean that your views are … Read entire article »
Academic Freedom
[Mirrored at Patterns to Truth] The limitations on academic freedom are set by the dictates of political correctness. Political correctness is designed to prohibit those things that offend or are against what the left believes and values. Therefore, academic freedom is not a universal term as its name implies, and the extent of such freedom in practice, is ultimately constrained by … Read entire article »
Sex is not Freedom
SEX…for lack of a better term…SELLS! In the end, that’s what it comes down to, isn’t it? Sex is not just for shampoo and cars and beer. It sells candidates and political parties, too. Whenever someone starts talking about “social” issues, or “cultural” issues, or “religion”, usually it boils down to what that person thinks, politically–yes, politically–about sex. Who has it … Read entire article »

I’m not one to hyperbolize. But this is evil. Pure evil.
