The Illusion of Moral Authority: the Government’s Monopoly on Force

Written by on · Leave a Comment

In contemporary society, many ideologues and agents of the state anchor their moral positions in the government’s framework of policies, procedures, and fiat laws, particularly within the family law system. This reliance on the state’s moral authority, however, is not grounded in consent but in force, coercion, and the implicit threat of violence—symbolized by “guns.” This article explores how this coercive foundation disincentivizes deep thought, reflection, and empathetic dialogue, especially […] Read more »

The Tragic Irony of CPS: A Case Study in Psychological Harm and Institutional Failure

Written by on · 1 Comment

NOTE: Certain facts and reasoning within this story, as well as names, were left out to protect the innocence of the children. These are my rational conclusions and judgments based upon our experiences from the past fifteen months or so with slander, libel, and the Dutch family law system. Is the pen, mightier than the sword? I guess we’ll find out as we move forward, and continue to use our […] Read more »

Breaking the Matrix: How Abductive Reasoning Unites Reality and Truth

Written by on · Leave a Comment

Deductive reasoning, defined as starting with general premises assumed true and deriving specific conclusions—like “all dissenters disrupt order, so Jane, a dissenter, is disruptive”—often shapes how people perceive reality, mistaking their subjective lens for universal truth. This process can create a thought matrix, a rigid mental framework where premises from culture, authority, or personal experience dictate thought’s boundaries, defended dogmatically as reality itself. For example, someone shaped by childhood trauma […] Read more »

The Metaphysics of Narcissism: Stealing Innocence & the Emperor’s New Clothes

Written by on · 1 Comment

The Genesis account of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden provides a foundational narrative for understanding the loss of innocence, particularly in the moment when they sew fig leaves to cover themselves after eating from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil (Genesis 3:7). Before this act, their nakedness carried no shame (Genesis 2:25), suggesting that their innocence functioned as a natural garment, a state of unselfconscious […] Read more »

Shallowness, Depth, Truth, and the Purpose of Force

Written by on · Leave a Comment

The angry mob, fueled by ignorance and prejudice, stormed the castle, their shallow understanding of the world reduced to simplistic labels and stereotypes, as they sought to destroy the monster, which they called “Depth” – a symbol of complexity and nuance that threatened to shatter their comfortable illusions. With each blow, they struck not at the monster’s heart, but at their own limitations, attempting to silence the whispers of doubt […] Read more »

The Metaphysical Weight of Labor: Property, Purpose, and the Apple Tree

Written by on · Leave a Comment

The concept of labor as a means to claim property has long fascinated philosophers, from the practical insights of John Locke to the metaphysical depths of Aristotle. At its core lies an assumption: when someone invests their effort into something—like cultivating an apple tree—they gain a right to it, not just legally but in a deeper, almost cosmic sense. This right might carry a “metaphysical gravity” or “momentum,” a weight […] Read more »

Fiat Law vs Lawful Private Agreements

Written by on · Leave a Comment

“Fiat” is a Latin term meaning “let it be done” or “by decree,” and it refers to something established or authorized by an arbitrary command rather than inherent reason or natural law. In general usage, it often describes something imposed by authority, like “fiat currency,” which is money declared legal tender by a government without intrinsic value (e.g., not backed by gold). A “fiat law” extends this concept to legislation […] Read more »

Duality, the Garden of Eden, and Ayn Rand

Written by on · Leave a Comment

In the biblical narrative, duality emerges as a consequence of humanity’s choice to eat from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, an act framed by me as providing the necessary “opt-out” from a higher harmony and morality, to ensure free will. Eating the “forbidden fruit” plunges existence into a polarized state, where good and evil are no longer integrated within a unified moral framework but are instead […] Read more »

Isaiah 1:18 – Why Reason (Jesus) Forgives Sin

Written by on · Leave a Comment

Isaiah 1:18 presents a divine invitation with profound implications: “Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool” (KJV). This suggests that reasoning—whether to purify one’s Self, resolve conflict, or negotiate preferences—holds a redemptive quality, capable of transforming sins and mistakes. The process implies a […] Read more »

Abductive Reasoning, the Matrix, and the Morality of Opt-Outs

Written by on · Leave a Comment

Below is a Socratic like dialogue that I had with Grok today, exploring various forms of reasoning, which led to thoughts about using abductive reasoning to explore the nature of reality, including the possibility that we are in a simulated reality, much like is posited in the Matrix trilogy. Then discussing the necessity for opt-outs for transforming our current simulated reality into a “new earth” that’s inherently moral, including offering […] Read more »

Liberty, Justice, and Truth Synthesized

Written by on · Leave a Comment

Question for x.com’s Grok 3: In two paragraphs, explain the concept of liberty from a classical liberal perspective. In two paragraphs, define justice and an ideal justice system that differs from a legal system, built upon both John Locke’s and Frederic Bastiat’s philosophies. In two additional paragraphs, explain the concept of truth from a critical thinking and philosophical perspective, such as Socrates and Aristotle. In three final paragraphs, write a […] Read more »

The Need for a Justice System Instead of a Legal System

Written by on · Leave a Comment

Society often conflates a legal system with a justice system, yet they diverge in purpose and spirit. A legal system enforces rules shaped by authority, often favoring compliance over fairness, while a justice system seeks truth and its principles to ensure right triumphs. We need a justice system because humanity demands more than rote order—it craves a process that probes the essence of our actions. Truth, not law, should mediate […] Read more »

Conformity, Justice, and Honoring Thy Father and Mother

Written by on · Leave a Comment

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. ~Grok 2 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 […] Read more »

A New Dawn: The Constitution of Galt’s Gulch

Written by on · Leave a Comment

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

Written by on · Leave a Comment

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 »
