In theory communication between people serves as a way to collaboratively teach, learn, arrive at the truth, or share transcendent experience. As some have noticed however, with the wrong motivations language devolves into a form of merely winning arguments. This speaks to life in general. Are we in it to win arguments or to accomplish goals? We can [...]

Ecocide
The right has withdrawn from climate issues for the most part because the left took them over. The left then used the environment as a justification for the usual leftist agenda, which is suppressing the strong in the name of equality. If you read this blog at all frequently, you know what we hold leftism [...]
How government destroys the environment
Many of us are hoping right now that humanity recognizes its vast and ongoing destruction of its environment and decides to do something about it. Most expect government to be the method. However, the record of governments helping the environment has been a spotty one — with one exception, which we’ll cover later. Generally, government [...]
Yeast
People always compared humans to rats when talking about our population expansion. “They breed like rats,” they’d say about whatever social group was not en vogue at the time. I have a simpler metaphor: yeast. Humans breed like yeast. Rats breed like mammals, and expand to a limit and then begin dying off. This stabilizes [...]

We further note how many societies, including Easter Island and pre-Revolutionary France, doomed themselves by increasing their population [...]
You don’t care about the gray wolf
All of those movies you watched, all of those late-night conversations pregnant with mystifying revelation, and all of what you hear on the radio has prepared you to cry over this. The government is de-listing gray wolves as an endangered species. That means that these creatures who once roamed abundant across North America will be [...]
Inversion
In an age of lies, the truth is seen as a lie. You don’t get to an age of lies without massive decay. An age of lies is also an age of a dying civilization. That means that every weak-willed person clusters around some familiar lies, and chants them like a catechism, bleating out their [...]
The green world that never came
Overheard, the other day: Person 1: We didn’t get the hybrid SUV. I’m not even sure I believe all this global warming stuff. Person 2: You really should, since the consensus in the scientific community supports it. This made me think: the consumer world is like another planet that orbits earth. We look at earth [...]
