Conformity, Justice, and Honoring Thy Father and Mother

Conformity Consciousness: Conformity consciousness is the awareness and internalization of social norms and expectations, guiding individuals to align their behavior, beliefs, or appearance with those of their group or society to achieve acceptance or harmony. ~Grok2 Justice (n.) “the exercise of authority in vindication of right by assigning reward or punishment;” also “moral soundness and conformity to truth.” In the past, I have discussed the three main densities of consciousness […] Read more »

A New Dawn: The Constitution of Galt’s Gulch

The following was created from two pages worth of input that I wrote for a new governmental and societal system based upon the philosophies of Ayn Rand, John Locke, along with other Logocentric philosophers, psychologists, critical thinking professors, and concepts, and fed into Grok2. It was something I woke up thinking about, so I decided to give it a try. Regardless of the practicality of implementing such a system on […] Read more »

Societal Stigmas and Shame Masquerading as Objective Morality and Truth

Nick Fuentes recently went on a rant about Elon Musk’s polyamorous / polygamous lifestyle, but he is promoting moral relativism in his tirade, and not moral absolutism, as explained below. While there is a social stigma to polygamy/polyamory, it isn’t immoral due to the nature of objective morality, and the use of reason. A good rule of thumb is about harming others, and if people consent to such a lifestyle, […] Read more »

A Classical Liberal View on Liberty, Truth, and Objective Justice

In a way, AI has provided a means to integrate the process of writing and the outcome into one thing, but only as long as the question is pure, and the AI being queried has some capacity to reason in a multilogical fashion. This makes it seem like “magic”, much like the 9th level of consciousness in spiral dynamics, which is called “the return to magic”, but it isn’t magic […] Read more »

The Power Over Others Game vs the Logocentric Truth Game: The Actual Evil vs Good

I began writing this article back on July 31st, 2024 as I was starting to see a pattern of basic assumptions, attitudes, and behaviors that filtered into two major categories of relating to others, each having their own very distinct rules for playing, the “power over others game” and the “Logocentric truth game”. It was turning into quite a long article when my family and I had a massive collision […] Read more »

Bridging the Gap Between Theology and Philosophy

I used to be a Christian theologian, or at least, somebody who loved studying doctrine and debating it, but I was also somebody who asked a lot of questions, and that led me through and out of Christian theology, and into psychology and philosophy. Along the way, I converted to Judaism and spent many years devoted to learning, understanding, and practicing it, especially since they valued psychology a bit more […] Read more »

Erik Feist on Self-Government and Anarchy

The following article was actually a Facebook comment made by a friend of mine, Erik Feist, years ago in regards to somebody’s misunderstanding of anarchy (which they likely called “chaos” and “lawlessness”). I read it again from a note where I had saved it, because it was absolutely brilliant and worth reading t again years later. He clears up some biblical misunderstandings about the role of government, as well as […] Read more »

When Morality and Law are Opposed to One Another

A vast majority of people today have a very infantile view of law that is more akin to a child obeying their parents than to an adult interacting with another adult; if the government made a law, they reason, then it must therefore be immoral and wrong to disobey and/or ignore that “law”. They do not understand that there can be various forms of law, specifically the differences between universally […] Read more »

Aristotle Abandoned

The pseudoscience of the modern age began with the elimination of three out of Aristotle’s four causes. Only one, causa efficiens, the cause of motion, was retained. As a result, the object lost its three dimensions — the eidetic, the hylistic, and, above all, the entelechial. The object ceased to be determined by its spiritual meaning, its malleable connection with the elements, and lost the goal of motion, which synthesized […] Read more »

Self-Abandonment, Moral Cowardice, & Abandoning Others

The following was a series of Q&A’s that I performed with the Llama3.1:8B AI chatbot (see my AI Disclaimer) to learn more about self-abandonment, moral cowardice, intellectual and moral courage, and abandoning others. I have a saying that “those who would  abandon themselves will definitely play the [archetypal] harlot and throw others under the bus too. I will not abandon myself, therefore I will not abandon those I have made […] Read more »

Freedom, Safety, & Natural Law

Natural law can be boiled down to two main pillars, the masculine self-defense principle and the feminine non-aggression principle (NAP), and BOTH provide freedom as a cause and they provide safety as an effect; it can be summarized by the saying “do no harm and take no shit”. The masculine self-defense principle provides freedom to myself to live my life free from external interference (as long as I stay within […] Read more »

Your Chronic Pain Could Be A Result Of Unresolved Fear and Anxiety Rather Than a Health Problem

In this conversation, Dr. David Schechter discusses the mind-body approach to treating chronic pain syndromes. He highlights the limitations of Western medicine and the importance of considering the role of the mind, emotions, and stress in health. Dr. Schechter shares his personal experience with mind-body medicine and how it transformed his own chronic knee pain. He explains his journey into clinical practice and the development of his own program. The […] Read more »

How to Defeat Power-Directed Systems of Thought

It is not the truth of Marxism that explains the willingness of intellectuals to believe it, but the power that it confers on intellectuals, in their attempts to control the world. And since, as Swift says, it is futile to reason someone out of a thing that he was not reasoned into, we can conclude that Marxism owes its remarkable power to survive every criticism to the fact that it […] Read more »

Locus of Identity and NPC Like “Spiritless Humans”

My partner and I have been discussing the concept of the the Adamic man and pre-Adamic man, and how pre-Adamic man doesn’t have an internal monologue, has an external locus of identity, and lacks a distinct will of their own (instead being subject to a group mind/group soul). Mystics call them “organic portals”, “soulless humans”, “anthropoids”, and “spiritless humans”, and are essentially considered NPC’s in a video game that are […] Read more »

Wanting, Having, and the Two Games

Buddhists found that “wanting” was a source of a lot of human suffering, so many of their adherents go to monasteries and live without anything, and as a result defeat wanting, but they’re not abundant either and still in lack consciousness; the best they are able to achieve with such a lifestyle is neutrality, not abundance. Christians also practice something similar to Buddhists with their monasteries and other tricks to […] Read more »
