The Great Reset as a ‘Great Reckoning’ of Accounts Due

Written by on · Leave a Comment

We are individually and collectively approaching “Childhood’s End”. The Great Reset is a proposed global rebalancing of societal and economic systems, envisioned as a reckoning where individuals and institutions face accountability for their moral and transactional choices. It forces an internal confrontation with one’s ledger, aligning outcomes with the standards—reasoned or exploitative—chosen by each. Klaus Schwab’s concept of the Great Reset is a proposed global initiative to reshape societal and […] Read more »

Prolonged Childhood: How Schooling and Laws Cause Dependency

Written by on · Leave a Comment

The word “authority” derives from the Latin “auctoritas,” originally meaning “growth,” “influence,” and, crucially, “authorship” – referring to someone who originates or brings something into being. This etymological root reveals how attributing authority to another implies granting them the power to “author” our actions, beliefs, or even our life’s direction, essentially ceding control over our own narrative to their will or judgment. The concept of prolonged childhood has become a […] Read more »

The Crucifixion of Jesus: How Innocence Defeats Power

Written by on · Leave a Comment

Agape love, in traditional Greek usage, refers to a form of love that prioritizes the well-being of others without expecting anything in return, often associated with divine or universal compassion, and is distinctly non-transactional as it seeks no reciprocation or zoomed in personal benefit, deferring instead to a zoomed out “bigger picture” personal benefit. In the New Testament, agape is elevated as the highest form of love, exemplified by God’s […] Read more »

My Favorite Ayn Rand Quotes

Written by on · Leave a Comment

Individualism and Independence Independence is the recognition of the fact that yours is the responsibility of judgment and nothing can help you escape it—that no substitute can do your thinking—that the vilest form of self-abasement and self-destruction is the subordination of your mind to the mind of another, the acceptance of an authority over your brain, the acceptance of his assertions as facts, his say-so as truth, his edicts as […] Read more »

Critique of the book “The Foundations of American Jewish Liberalism” and Legislating Morality

Written by on · Leave a Comment

Tikkun olam, a Hebrew phrase meaning “repairing the world,” is a Jewish ethical concept emphasizing acts of justice, charity, and social improvement to fulfill moral responsibilities. In practice, it often inspires advocacy for progressive policies, which some critique as leaning toward legislated morality rather than voluntary action. Legislating morality refers to the use of government laws and policies to enforce ethical or moral standards, often prioritizing collective compliance over individual […] Read more »

The Mob Mentality as a Means of Escaping Karmic Debt (Cause and Effect)

Written by on · Leave a Comment

Karma, as a universal principle of cause and effect, posits that every action—whether physical, mental, or emotional—generates a corresponding consequence that inevitably returns to the individual, shaping their present and future experiences. This metaphysical law operates impartially across all beings and contexts, transcending time and space to ensure a balanced return of energy based on the intent and nature of one’s deeds, a concept recognized in one way or another […] Read more »

The Interplay of Deduction, Abduction, and the Metaphor of Jesus as the Inner King

Written by on · 1 Comment

Deductive rigidity refers to the strict application of fixed premises to reach conclusions, often stifling inquiry by treating those premises as unchallengeable, leading to inflexible and potentially flawed outcomes. In contrast, abductive reasoning offers flexibility by inferring the best explanation from observed facts, adapting to new evidence and context to align further with truth. Human reasoning shapes our worldviews, moral frameworks, and spiritual lives through two primary modes: deductive and […] Read more »

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

Written by on · 1 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 Straw Man Fallacy: Reducing Depth to Shallowness

Written by on · Leave a Comment

The straw man logical fallacy—where an argument or character is distorted into a weaker, oversimplified version to be easily attacked—serves as a potent tool for misrepresenting individuals of depth and complexity. A person of depth, marked by nuanced ideas, emotional richness, and intricate reasoning, becomes a target for those with agendas or those too biased or dimwitted to grasp such complexity. Whether driven by malice or ignorance, these critics erect […] 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 »

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 »

Do Human Beings Have Intrinsic Self-Worth, or Are We Measured by our Utility?

Written by on · Leave a Comment

Ayn Rand’s Objectivism asserts that the individual is an end, not a means, judged by rational achievements and integrity rather than utility to others—an idea that challenges conventional views of value and purpose. This perspective invites us to explore how humans define worth, not just for themselves but for truth itself, and how these definitions shape spirituality, philosophy, and economics. What follows is an examination of this tension, tracing a […] Read more »

Tariff Wars! Sociocentrism, Balkanization, and the Fracturing of Society

Written by on · Leave a Comment

I have observed that Donald Trump is taking a lot of mostly non-aggressive, aka defensive, measures around the world in relationship to America and her interests, and that is what is tweaking everyone’s anger at him. This happened to us personally in the micro while living in the Europe; it was our protective actions around our family that got us into trouble, actions that would have been unnecessary had the […] Read more »
