I get the beef people have with the new Star Wars Trilogy– that it wasn’t as thought out as it should’ve been and all that. I’m struck though that the discovery of Rey’s grandad being Palpatine is a whole lot like how Paul in Dune discovers his grandad is the harkanwn baddie. Maybe the StarContinue reading “A thought on movies & reality”

The dual pillars of love and of liberty, I believe, should be and already are the true foundations of the American emergent majority political divide.  Love best speaks of the lefty. The one who wants a fair game and carries forth into time the flame of petty restlessness.  Liberty is domain of the right. TheyContinue reading “Love & Liberty”

   If a providential government were to break down under a contract style of colonialism the interested international parties would need have no qualms about pulling out whenever it be deemed worthwhile.     If there was an understanding that the international investing community was not going to police their client states, the investors could act to protectContinue reading “Providence”

I propose a reading of the New Testament that I’ve not seen prior.

I propose another counter point to one of Jordan Peterson’s flagship precepts. And that is that we need each other to keep each other sane.  So again, like my previous retort to a JP axiom, this is not to bash his position but to investigate the flip side of what he’s getting at.  I doContinue reading “(In)sane”

Man created ships to voyage onto the high seas. Man created planes to soar through the sky. Man created University to traverse the mind.  University’s only purpose is to push human genius further than it could go without the invention & implementation of University. Engineering, mathematics, governance, architecture, neuroscience, and a small handful of otherContinue reading “University”

On this topic of mere life, or low love, we must move beyond the human dilemma for a moment and consider the beatles.  Such a creature could easily be considered a low form of life. And yet, time and again, we hear about how the Beatles are the ones that make it through. Mass extinctionContinue reading “The Beatles”
