Interesting post from Underprivileged Publishing: Annie Le Killer Raymond Clark III Adds Name to Long List of White Psychos Who “Show No Previous Signs of Violence” “When will the white people you work, go to school with or who or your neighbors give in to the dark voices that most often result in, for example, [...]

Fantasy worlds fail us
As Nietzsche pointed out long ago — birthing the postmodernist movement, although most won’t give him credit for that — our “knowing” supersedes reality because knowing is a partial representation of reality, so is easy to remember, but reality has much greater complexity. We have made knowing into a science, and an art — of [...]
Oblivious to history
Ever realize how much we don’t know? Is time a force, what is gravity and is it related to magnetism, and how do we define pain? Why do we dream? What caused the universe? Lost in this confusion also is history. What is history? Is it remembered facts, or lengthy socioeconomic analysis? I contend that [...]
Folk wisdom and our witless scientists
From the ever-rambling BBC: Eating watermelon has a similar effect on the body to Viagra, according to researchers in the US. It’s down to a chemical called citrulline which is found in the juicy fruit. It helps relax the blood vessels which means blood gets around the body more easily. The BBC Again, “science” — [...]
This missile shield was not about Iran
From the “most people will never figure this out, but should figure it out in order to participate in our democracy” files: Russia will scrap a plan to deploy missiles near Poland because the U.S. no longer wants to place a missile-defense system in Eastern Europe, a Russian deputy defense minister said Saturday. Vladimir Popovkin [...]
Jihad!
The ancients of antiquity put in place foundations for long term, settled society. Unlike today’s abstract rationalism and holistic incoherence, ancient societies recognized a home and best fit for everything at each level of organization. Degree of importance ascended to the highest levels approaching whole system in scope and beyond – that which they believed [...]
The passive-aggressive fallacy
The salient fact of human cognitive error is that, thanks to our logical minds, we see with the perspective of an omnipotent viewer, but we are trapped in bodies, so must project a self — and consequently, defend it. The defense of self, in society, takes the form of a non-aggression pact with all other [...]
When Fear Runs Your Life, Ask Yourself Why
Fear controls the lives of most moderns as we lack goals at the community level. We watch movies about abductions, murders, and superheros saving the day, and since we don’t even know who our neighbors are let alone our selectmen and other community leaders, fear rattles around in our brains. We feel that if it can happen [...]
Fighting nature and losing
What bothers me about human logic is that, out of fear of time (and thus mortality), we can only think in a permanent present tense and so are oblivious to the fact that life runs in cycles. In other words, any action that we do now is going to create a counterreaction, and a chain [...]
How we emasculate ourselves
Growing up, my greatest frustration with this civilization was how impotent it was. If someone started doing something that was obviously insane or destructive, everyone backed off and made some pithy polite comment like “Oh well, it’s his prerogative.” Here’s the flip side of that: Our elites live in big cities and are far removed [...]
