RE: Fake Experience, Fake Reality (Part Two)

RE: Polite Pirates
99.9% of laws violate rights the authorities swore to uphold. Still for law enforcement? By what standard do you "downplay" that? Without rights there is no standard. There is a…

It was "the choice of the people" in Nazi Germany (30 million people) to support the murder of their patriotic, Nazi Jewish neighbors. If not, it would not have been done. It was…

RE: Fake Experience, Fake Reality (Part Two)
Once authority to initiate violence is granted, all is lost, no civilized society can exist. But this is done all over the world. When people stop exempting authorities from…

RE: Fake Experience, Fake Reality (Part Two)
The world did not have cops until late in the 19th century. Why did it take 10,000 years after cities started? Clue: It wasn't public demand. It was for public control and…

RE: The Double-Edged Sword of Movies, Media, & Entertainment: Unintended Consequences That Shaped A War Machine
My favorite Rand work is: "Introduction to Objectivist Epistemology". I have read it over and over. At 75 I can reflect it is the most influential philosophy I have read.…

RE: Patriotism, an Abomination

RE: Patriotism, an Abomination
"...moral is deeply rooted in religion..." For most, not me. It never was, and never will be. My morality developed slowly over decades using reason for my ethical system, not…

No one knows how we are going to achieve civilization. It is a work in progress. But we have history to tell us what doesn't work. Any society that worships violence as supreme…

I mark the beginning of the US Empire at the invasion by the Northern states into the Confederacy. This was a denial of state sovereignty and their right to secede. Lincoln…

RE: Patriotism, an Abomination
If I get conned, it's partly my fault. I am responsible for my ignorance and my mistaken decisions. When the invasion of 'Nam was seen by enough people to be a mistake, the war…
