Dear Friends, It seems to me, the elite are waging war on discernment, by vilifying categorization. One of the ancient ways humanity has looked at the world and reality, is in a hierarchy of good. That there is order (good) … Continue reading
Civilization is Neither Order Nor Disorder it is Complexity
Dear Friends, It seems to me, our planet is in a struggle between powers and principalities, with order and chaos being the weapons arrayed against good. China is increasingly becoming the avatar for order, (except in Hong Kong) and the … Continue reading
Civilization is Built Upon Reasonable People.

Empiricism, and the Existence of God
Dear Friends, It seems to me, Hume’s argument against the existence of God is weak, in that if a single miracle can be proved to have happened, by his argument’s parameters, God must exist. Now, it is possible that … Continue reading
