American Societal Myth

Posted on July 4, 2011 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me that the only Societal Myth, that is not in fact a myth, is the US Societal Myth. A Societal Myth is an underlying foundational ethos or philosophy that is a primary motivator of the … Continue reading →

Greece and Their Spending

Posted on June 30, 2011 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me that when governments get into predicaments like Greece they are acting very much like alcoholics. They display the same behaviors and attitudes. The descent path is even similar. It’s funny how macro economic phenomenon … Continue reading →

Political Standards

Posted on June 26, 2011 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me that if one set of standards is good two must be better. Holding one political philosophy to a much different standard of personal conduct is one example. Holding the different political philosophies to multiple … Continue reading →

Logic and Emotion

Posted on June 20, 2011 by john

Good and Bad; Black and White

Posted on June 13, 2011 by john

Dear Friends, It seems amazing to me that, as a great Chinese philosopher (Mo Ti) once said, “This is something that confuses us… Take the case of a man who when shown a few black objects calls them black, but … Continue reading →

Arab Spring

Posted on June 5, 2011 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me that his Arab Spring has taken some alarming turns. Changes in the apparent nature of the collective movements that signal a situation that will become more unstable not less unstable. This is very concerning … Continue reading →

Cultural Knowledge

Causality

Posted on May 22, 2011 by john
