From Transactional Fairness to Virtuous Pride: A Non-Transactional Motivation in One’s Life

Written by on · Leave a Comment

Transactional Love is a conditional exchange where affection or care is offered with the expectation of receiving something in return, such as validation or reciprocation. It operates like a contract, driven by external motives and often tied to a sense of obligation or debt. Non-Transactional Love is given freely without expecting repayment, rooted in genuine care and intrinsic motivation. It prioritizes authentic connection and truth, unbound by calculations or external rewards. The […] 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 »

Prometheus, Epimetheus, Stolen Fire, & Pandora’s Box

Written by on · Leave a Comment

The mind is an attribute of the individual. There is no such thing as a collective brain. There is no such thing as a collective thought. An agreement reached by a group of men is only a compromise or an average drawn upon many individual thoughts. It is a secondary consequence. The primary act—the process of reason—must be performed by each man alone. We can divide a meal among many […] Read more »

Why False Accusations Are So Potent and Destructive

Written by on · Leave a Comment

Question: It seems that there is a dynamic where false accusations generate some sense of imagined or real power over others, where they are acting as the judge, lawyer, and sentencing authority all in one. For example, to accuse a friend or relative of wrongdoing without evidence and then punishing them for it by blocking all further contact, or by turning friends and/or family against them with dramatic certainty, but […] 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 »

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

Written by on · 1 Comment

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 »

Erik Feist on Self-Government and Anarchy

Written by on · Leave a Comment

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

Written by on · 2 Comments

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 »

Locus of Identity and NPC Like “Spiritless Humans”

Written by on · 2 Comments

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 »

Confirmation Bias as a Negative Strategy to Resolve Contradictions Through Pressuring Conformity

Written by on · Leave a Comment

I recently had a run in with a person who was very argumentative with my partner, but it turned out it was due to the contradictions and contrast my partner was providing to him about his own limited worldview, and in an attempt to restore the status quo, he looked up everything he could find that contradicted my partner’s viewpoint and confirmed his own. When one seeks only viewpoints that […] Read more »

Critical Thinking Recommended Reading List

Written by on · Leave a Comment

“Critical thinking is thinking about your thinking while you’re thinking in order to make your thinking better.” ~Richard Paul “The over-whelming preponderance of people have not freely decided what to believe, but, rather, have been socially conditioned (indoctrinated) into their beliefs. They are unreflective thinkers. Their minds are products of social and personal forces they neither understand, control, nor concern themselves with. Their personal beliefs are often based in prejudices. […] Read more »

Sterilizing Humanity: Science Fiction or Conspiratorial Reality?

Written by on · Leave a Comment

Below are two clips from television shows that speak about using a vaccine, and in the case of the second clip, a manufactured global pandemic, as a pretext for sterilizing humanity. The first clip comes from the television series “Stargate: SG1”, and details an alien race that conquers worlds through playing the long game by gaining consent through administering a vaccine that grants a longer lifespan and promises a healthy […] Read more »

You Will Own NOTHING!! Here’s How They Plan to Make You “Happy”

Written by on · Leave a Comment

Take a second to consider that there is something valuable that you own, and that is yourself. Then consider that some of the things you do own are ultimately an extension of yourself, they allow you to be you, they allow you to exercise the ownership of yourself in the world. This is fundamentally why having a place to call home, having a way to move around, and having the […] Read more »

What is Shadow Work? Revisited

Written by on · 3 Comments

The late great psychologist Carl Jung defined the shadow as the aspects of self (identity/personality) that we are unconscious of, whereas the ego was defined as our conscious self / individuality. He thought it was the responsibility of therapy, and inner psychological work in general, to make the contents of our unconscious self known to our conscious self, therefore integrating the shadow side into our ego. A well integrated shadow […] Read more »

Lucasfilm, and other companies who own the rights to culturally significant intellectual properties such as Star Trek, Lord of the Rings, the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Dr Who, Ghostbusters, James Bond, and many others, are not only infusing wokeness into them, they’re Postmodernists deconstructing the properties and assassinating the character of the beloved icons under their care.
