LOGICAL MINDS ONLY

Two things economists got wrong. The market does not have to produce profits and neither the private or the public sector has a legitimate claim to anything that exists on earth. But if economists have ever been so wrong that they would have won a gold medal had being wrong been an Olympic contest it is in the way they talk about money. Money is not a thing. It cannot be created out of assets. The...

It is an absurdity to claim Peter is the head of the church or the rock upon which the body of Christ is built. The author systematically goes through all the Scripture that contradicts the one possible interpretation that supports the Catholics position. 

There can only be one or two realities, there cannot be less or more. The contest then is between these two possible scenarios, only one of which can be right. The one-reality scenario is a claim there is only one reality and it contains all possible qualifications other than the belief truths are absolutes and metaphysical statements are valid. The one-reality hypothesis contradicts itself. If tr...

It is easy to assume there is but one reality, we see it all around us, yet it has small significance for humankind. Our reality plays in our heads and in the things we devise and build. There is little in nature that has value for us without extensive modification. Think of a house and the raw materials compared to the home we live in. But even houses with no people is a different reality to a su...

It is easy to spend money. Economic development that relies on spending large sums of money create new businesses, but not necessarily the right business and certainly not sustainable businesses. As hard as it may be to finance a start up this is the easy part. Trailer Park Economics is the economics of poverty, it does not rely on the exceptional or the fortunate few. It is a model for the masses...

Does going Green mean eliminating humanity, technology or the tools of civilized living. Is human life incompatible with going Green? It is the opinion of this author that going Green has little or nothing to do with nature. Primitive cultures are not Greener than us, they are just less technically advanced than we are. To be Green has value for human civilization, but it does not preclude it. The...

The epidemic of violence in the US is an epidemic of hate. All crime is a desperate attempt to combat fear. The more horrendous the crime the deeper the fear. Without faith in the future there is no future, there is only fear. The less faith in the future, the greater the fear of the future. At some point fear of the future turns to a hatred of the future. Hate begets violence against what caused...

The community church is not a church in a community, the community church is the community believers occupy. The community church exists as an alternative community model to the conventional community of non-believers. They stand in opposition to one another; the one is not an institution or product of the other. They vie for the same space and the same ecological niche.

If the criminal is not reconciled, he remains a criminal. The justice system is unconcerned about reconciliation though they pay lip service to the idea of rehabilitation. But if the criminal was never reconciled, rehabilitation is an oxymoron and the process a waste of tax dollars.

There are two races and two realities, one is reconciled the other is in arrears. Civility is a process that leads to civilization through the means of reconciliation. Only when our accounts are balanced can civilization reach its apogee. All human issues can be traced back to an unreconciled account.

Children are dependents some people, even rich and powerful ones, remain that way. It is not just the vagabond that depends on the benevolence of others to provide his food and clothes, bankers, politicians, portfolio managers and their ilk are in the same boat. They produce nothing of value and certainly nothing that compensates the rest of us for what their existence costs the planet. The world...

Faith is not a feeling that pops up out of nowhere, for no reason and persists despite there being no justification for its persistence. Faith only exists where there is no risk. Faith is extremely fragile and easily destroyed, ask any jilted lover. In this video we look at the essential element that must exist for faith to arise and persist.

What is a citizen and in what way does being a citizen differ from being a subject?

Politics is the mob selecting a leader to give their will legitimacy. Thus, the popular leader will speak in terms of what his constituency deserves and has a right to. Politicians merely due what is right in the eyes of the mob without having to inconvenience the mob. The Mob gets its way without having to bother with riots. We need a better way.

The most normal thing anyone can do is believe the reality they see is real. It is not that we think what we see is always a perfect representation of what exists independent of our observation; we think that what we see is part of everything that exists. What is more, we think that all of the people we see are all part of one race of human beings. We have coined the term, The One-Reality Hypothes...

The Invisible Civil War is a war between church and state that no one sees, but it exists, and is visible in the conflicts that attract the attention of the daily news channels. Few understand the root of the visible wars in the spiritual war that continues between church and state.

There are two sources of authority in this world, one is the control of property the other is the control of information. Authoritarians and dictators control property. Civil Authorities control information. Authoritarians work from the assumption that might makes right and the end justifies the means. Civil Authorities are predicated on the idea that right makes might and the end will be defined...

Is a machine part of the animal kingdom? Can a machine be classified as an animal? Are humans’ part of the animal kingdom? If a machine thought and acted in the same way humans do and was aware of itself and was in everyway identical to a human being, other than being manufactured, would it be human? If so, then why would it not be part of the animal kingdom as you say humans are?

There is either one reality or two, no more and no less. The Two Reality Hypothesis may appear to make no sense to most people, but The One Reality Hypothesis disproves its own claims and is logically incoherent, which is why The Two Reality Hypothesis appears flawed to people who think reality is but one.

What is man that man is human and can there be a new race of man?

The larger the population the more difficult it is to reduce the total amount of resources consumed per unit of time. So, why do so many nations that have a stable or declining birth rate promote immigration and green energy policies at the same time? Most nations believe the more people, the more prosperous the nation will be. The fear is that a decline in population will mean lowered standards o...

Modern peoples treat evil with a disdain that is interesting. We claim to be alarmed at mass shootings and those who begin wars, but the reactions have taken the form of a pantomime, politicians especially parody horror as they have always played out the actions of someone who is grief stricken. But how is a society ignorant of what evil is supposed to understand what good is? If we cannot recogni...

If human rights were a valid concept your neighbour would have a greater claim to something you own, than you do. What do you have to which others have the pre-eminent claim? If your answer is nothing; your neighbor has no rights and neither do you.

There are two classes of consciousness and these types of consciousness correspond to two races each with their own contrasting reality or world view. These consciousnesses cannot be reconciled. One wins victory over the other. There is no negotiated settlement. If you wonder what has led to the division in society it is the underlying reality of there being two different races with two divergent...

There are only two possible states for mankind to exist in. The common state is one of primitivism. The other is the state of civilization. Civilization is not defined by technology. Technological expertise is a symptom but not the cause of civilized living. Correlation does not indicate causation. To be civilized is to be civil. The community that permits incivility to happen without it having a...
