My thoughts on things of a more philosophical or scientific nature.

Social Contagions, Big Tech, & Corrective Action

Social Contagions, Big Tech, & Corrective Action

Reading Time: 3 minutes Big tech suppresses certain ideas through social mechanisms and disallowing certain interactions. You’ve seen the playbook, which includes things like removing dislikes from ideas they support, prohibiting sharing of certain information entirely, banning heterodox thinkers who seem most open and might attract others, posting “fact-checks” which are factual though not truthful (and in some cases which are purely fallacious), and promoting certain concepts while disallowing others. 

Partial Transcript of Dr. Robert Malone with Jimmy Dore on Mass mRNA Vaccination

Partial Transcript of Dr. Robert Malone with Jimmy Dore on Mass mRNA Vaccination

Reading Time: 5 minutes My friend [redacted] told me that things might be better if we societally-engineered everyone into getting vaccinated with our current vaccines. I told him that I owed him a longer response, but I didn’t have much time back then. I will submit this (hand-done, by me) transcription of a sliver of a speech for his consideration; I chose this because it was aimed at laypeople. Whether or not he finds it persuasive is beside the point; I owed him the explanation of why I held such opinions.

Live Not by Lies: Do Not Abandon Sense-Making

Live Not by Lies: Do Not Abandon Sense-Making

Reading Time: 4 minutes This is part 2 in a series. One thing that I learned from Dr. J. Lennox of Oxford is that it’s imperative to test the premises and data of assertions, no matter the credentials and subject mastery of the person making the assertion. We don’t just need good reasoning, but also good logic. Logic is the fundamental rules that we apply to reasoning to “reason from A to B.” It’s…

Pedophilia and Atheism

Pedophilia and Atheism

Reading Time: 2 minutes One of the stranger things about atheism is that pedophilia isn’t a choice under it. Why? Because the laws of cause and effect outside of the head don’t stop in the inside of the head.

The 7 Stages of All Great Nations: End-Stage Guilt

The 7 Stages of All Great Nations: End-Stage Guilt

Reading Time: 9 minutes Kings and nations share one thing in common: they rise to power, and then they die. In this post I examine the 7 stages of all great nations, the deadliness of decadence and the self-loathing it leads to, as well as what Christians need to do.

The Consistent Ethics of Auschwitz: Creating Purpose for Your Life

The Consistent Ethics of Auschwitz: Creating Purpose for Your Life

Reading Time: 4 minutes Far from being contemptuous of ethics, the perpetrators acted in strict conformity with an ethic which held that, however difficult and unpleasant the task might have been, mass extermination of the Jews and Gypsies was entirely justified.

What About Your Terrible Future

What About Your Terrible Future

Reading Time: 3 minutes On atheism, there are not actually various possible futures. That is to say, there is actually only one future that is ever possible. And there is little difference between you and a rock.

When It’s Your Time to Get Coronavirus

When It’s Your Time to Get Coronavirus

Reading Time: 2 minutes The Philippines have had universal mask wear AND a strict lockdown, yet cases are surging and now exceed 6k a day. This is much worse than it looks because they barely test at all. It’s 0.27/1000 pop/day. Per capita per test, it’s over 3X the US. Let’s run through the (rough) math: 6277 cases/day. testing is 0.27 vs 2.3 in the US, so multiply by 8.51. The population is 107mm…

Suicide, Violence, and Wise Fathers (+Podcast)

Suicide, Violence, and Wise Fathers (+Podcast)

Reading Time: 2 minutes Fatherlessness is the single best predictor of violence in young men. Masculinity can become “toxic” in the absence of the wise Patriarch—but it’s just an aggressive form of sin.

Critical Race Theory and Whiteness Over Time

Critical Race Theory and Whiteness Over Time

Reading Time: 5 minutes A must-read. Dr. James Lindsay’s journey mirrors my own. I began studying Critical Race Theory in 2013, and it truly does “awaken” one to race in profound ways. The solutions and prescriptions it proffers, however, are destructive and divisive. Something to consider: In the 19th and early 20th century, the belief that there were different “races” of Europeans was popular. What if Critical Race Theory came into being in 1910? Would…

The Danger of Idea Laundering: Mein Kampf and Social Justice

The Danger of Idea Laundering: Mein Kampf and Social Justice

Reading Time: 7 minutes In essence, idea laundering works through systemic infiltration of ideological malfeasance in the peer-review process. The grievance studies showed how this works, so I won’t go into too much detail (all the professors involved are liberal; Dr. Boghossian wrote “A Manual for Creating Atheists, so their worldview is humanist), but I’ll break it down a bit.

Dr. Love-is-a-Superstition or: There is No Such Thing as You

Dr. Love-is-a-Superstition or: There is No Such Thing as You

Reading Time: 3 minutes They don’t believe that there is an immaterial soul which exercises causal power on material reality. All that you are, therefore, is your body (including your brain). Since the brain, as a physical object, follows the laws of physics and chemistry, then your thoughts/decisions must also follow the laws of physics and chemistry.
