Bulbasaur’s Modest Proposal

by | 6 Replies

LifeIt is indeed a melancholy object for one to consider the topic of abortion in these “United” States.  Hundreds of years trading blood and lives in the name of progress (not always a fair trade), yet still we drag along the flotsam of a past best left forgotten.

A strong minority, comprising tens of millions of our “fellow citizens,” still harbor misplaced nostalgia for a time when a woman had no say in whether or not she must endure the presence of a parasitic life-form within her own person.

Consider it: our female population, living the honest, equal, and consumptive existence guaranteed to all Americans (as well as some others), would instead be relegated to mere breed stock for the nation.  Such thinking is a barbarous relic, anathema to any true American.  I sometimes wonder if these Fox News-types sing the Horst Wessel Lied when we’re not paying attention.  Susan B. Anthony, bless her, must be spinning in her grave.

Science for the Science God!

tysonismThere is perhaps nothing more detestable and toxic in present day political discourse than the unwarranted arrogance and snarky attitude displayed by conventional liberals thoroughly convinced that their oh so enlightened social views are based on science. Apparently passing high school biology, watching Carl Sagan’s Cosmos and thumbing various Neil Degrasse Tyson memes on Facebook has lead these intellectual nobodies to believe that they are qualified to speak with authority on topics ranging from biological evolution to the proper application of the scientific method. Unsurprisingly the conclusion they draw from all this scientific expertise is that non-liberal political and social views are unscientific. What a shocker.

The hysterically pathetic irony of this world view is the blatant religiosity of it. Countless debates with “scientific” minded liberals and an examination of their beliefs have made it evident that this system of thought contains a soft, nuggety core of pure theology masquerading as “science” for outside observers. This illusion of intellectual authority is further reinforced by the adoption of a pedestrian form of “scientific atheism” that allows these liberals to fancy themselves as over and above those stupid Creationists. While theist notions of “science” such as intelligent design may be laughable, this paucity of intellectual credence does not work to elevate non-religious science by default. As we will examine, supposedly non-religious science is still warped by confirmation bias emanating from a clearly defined ideology that presupposes certain premises. Unlike most scientific methods of inquiry, liberal scientism starts with certain a priori universal assumptions, akin to religious values for atheistic liberals, which are then “proven” through deductive reasoning rather than inductive science.

What are these assumptions? Why, they are the same old spooks that we have been getting from self-styled progressives for the last century or so.

An Apostate On Libertarians

by | 12 Replies

3t5jw8Let me begin by stating that I believe everyone reading this article will at least share my desire for a more orderly and prosperous society than what currently exists in the West today. With that said, my criticisms and considerations are mainly directed at libertarians.

I should preface that I myself have been a libertarian since 2007 or so. I supported Ron Paul in 2008 and would have liked to have seen him get the GOP nomination at least in 2012. Besides that I have read, watched and studied libertarian ideology since then, so don’t believe a return criticism that can be leveled at me is, “he just doesn’t understand libertarianism!” In fact, it is my understanding of the subject that informs these criticisms.

Libertarians desire a society that has more personal liberty, economic freedom and less “nanny state” molestation of the individual. These are indeed admirable goals, but their ways of achieving these are mistaken. Many think this can be done through either nonviolence and the non-aggression principle, or a sort of Fabian philosophical drift.

Seeing nothing new under the sun, I’ve come to think, as The Joker put it, “that is the one rule you’ll have to break to know the truth.” To paraphrase him, the only sensible way to live in this world and achieve your goals is not through the absence of rules(ers), but by not allowing everyone to decide on the rules.

Moralizing Savagery

“There are a lot of smart people out there (that justify their success thus:) ‘It must be because I worked harder than everybody else.’ Let me tell you something: There are a whole bunch of hardworking people out there. If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help.” -President Barack Obama, July 13th 2012

Bravo

Observation: In our day and age, it isn’t necessary to weave a coherent narrative or construct a logical system of belief. In fact, all one needs to do is simply spew specific words/phrases and create appealing sound bites; let the vulgar rabble fill in the blanks and vote.

Dildocracy: I Will Sit On My Ass

by | 4 Replies

“A passionate tumultuous age will overthrow everything, pull everything down; but a revolutionary age, that is at the same time reflective and passionless, transforms that expression of strength into a feat of dialectics: it leaves everything standing but cunningly empties it of significance. Instead of culminating in a rebellion it reduces the inward reality of all relationships to a reflective tension which leaves everything standing but makes the whole of life ambiguous. Everything continues to exist factually whilst by a dialectical deceit, it supplies a secret interpretation – that does not exist.”

Søren Kierkegaard, “The Present Age – On the Death of Rebellion”

In Mom We Trust

In 1680, Sir Robert Filmer wrote that the first Kings were fathers of families.  This makes sense to The Right Stuff on a visceral level.

At some point in human evolution, primitive man started valuing the particular being he dumped his sperm in more than the act itself (take note, PUAs).  It was at this moment that man discovered qualifiers, that man first asserted that something was “his.”  Indeed, women were the first human conceptions of “property.”

Property can therefore be seen as inherently oppressive, and the basis of human civilization.  Shocked? Don’t be.  Reality isn’t pretty, it never was. [1]

Patriarchy is defined hierarchy and authority based upon this foundation, this recognition of reality.  Civilization cannot emerge from the alternative; it can merely enervate itself with lies otherwise. [2]
