LOGICAL MINDS ONLY

Society EN ↓ 1022 episodes

Logic is not opinion nor is it moved by assumptions. Logic follows its own course and rules. Logic cannot be rescinded, reconfigured or reformed. Logic is implacable and absolute. LOGICAL MINDS ONLY follow logic to where it leads. Those who do not follow logic to wherever it leads end up in a place that is demonstrably irrational. LOGICAL MINDS ONLY is a podcast for those whose commitment to logic is absolute. Those whose commitment is to an ideology, or particular worldview, or set of assumptions or who want to find factoids to support an assumption are wasting their time here.

Proof That Christianity Is The Only Feasible Solution 24.04.2025

This essay argues that God is trustworthy and that faith in God negates the need for external laws, contrasting divine faith with human laws that arise from fear and distrust. It asserts that Christianity uniquely addresses human problems at their source—the human heart—by promoting internal reflection and faithful adherence to God’s teachings. The essay criticizes other systems for creating confl...

The Worlds Greatest Injustice 23.04.2025

Herein we discuss the complexity of defining and granting rights, particularly in the context of animal welfare and protection. It emphasizes that rights encompass both legal entitlements and moral considerations. Human rights are crucial for a just society, providing a framework for dignity, freedom, and equality. Governments play a key role in protecting these rights, but they must balance their...

A Study in Operationalism 22.04.2025

This talk explores the concept of measurement and its relationship to technology and sensitivity. It discusses the (erroneous) idea that life and faith cannot be measured like physical entities. It compares the lifestyles of animals and subsistence cultures, which live in the present without investing in the future, to higher forms of life that require faith for future investment. The essay conclu...

What Christianization Means 19.04.2025

The text discusses the contrast between a society governed by external, hierarchical authority, which can lead to either societal weakness or brittle rigidity, and a Christian system guided by the Holy Spirit that promotes self-sufficiency and mutual respect. In the Christian model, each individual's work is valued and compensated, eliminating debts, taxes, and social issues, thereby fostering...

Introduction To A Hardening Of The Humanities 17.04.2025

There is no way, at present, to quantify the social sciences, because they rely on narrative descriptions. But if we study Scripture, it provides a path by which the humanities can be hardened. Under the present view of reality, the law of the jungle reigns. This is the notion that might makes right. The author argues that true rights and justice cannot be founded on historical power dynamics but...

Christianization 101 12.04.2025

Faith, as discussed, is not merely a belief in the saving grace of Christ but a motivator for a life of works that reflect one's faith. Unlike works done for show, which are phenomenological and lack true meaning, works imbued with faith are operational and impactful. Faith is demonstrated through a commitment to the community of believers, emphasizing investment in the church's growth ove...

Five Ignored Passages 11.04.2025

There are five major passages in the Bible that are studiously ignored by Christians. By rejecting the importance of one the church makes it impossible to understand or implement the others.

How And Why Tariffs Work 09.04.2025

The accompanying essay discusses the role tariffs in creating a prosperous economy. The focus is on the role of the church in adding value to the assets under the stewardship of Christians. The sovereignty of God over all assets is emphasized. It highlights the importance of integrating new Christians into the economic life of the church, where each member can contribute meaningfully. Tariffs are...

Why Trump Will Ultimately Fail 08.04.2025

This essay argues that regardless of the plan or methods implemented by Trump, extracting wealth from the productive sector to fund the state, which is inherently parasitic, is inherently problematic. It posits that neither capitalism nor communism is compatible with Christianity and that true solutions to social problems require eliminating the state and parasitism. The author suggests an Apriori...

What Is A Theocracy 07.04.2025

A theocracy is presented as an ideal system where true equality prevails, unlike other forms of government that centralize power and wealth. In a theocracy, individuals do not surrender their voice to a central authority but remain equal, owning only what they create without claims on others' creations. This encourages innovation and specialization, ensuring progress. Everyone has equal rights...

Righteousness in Scripture 06.04.2025

The essay emphasizes the importance of grace in the Christian faith, highlighting that while salvation is a gift of grace from God, unearned and bestowed through Jesus Christ's sacrifice, believers are called to extend grace and forgiveness to others. This cycle of forgiveness not only aligns with the divine example but also distinguishes the righteous from those who take more than they give....

How To Measure Faith In The Church 04.04.2025

This document discusses the concept of rebirth in Christianity, emphasizing that believers are reborn as infants and require a process of perfection through reconciliation and faith. It highlights the importance of works as a measure of faith, stating that faith without works is dead. Scriptures from 2 Corinthians, James, and Matthew are referenced to support these points. The new kingdom is descr...

A Question On Morality For Liberals 03.04.2025

Here we argue that conservatives base their morality on God's absolute standards, which provide a clear, unchanging guide for righteous living, whereas liberals rely on subjective interpretations and personal freedom, leading to a morality that is inconsistent and human-centered. It claims that true morality is divinely ordained and intrinsic to reality, while ethics, created by humans, lack t...

The Apriorian Ministry 28.03.2025

Paul's epistle to the Romans and other New Testament passages highlight that faith is a gift from God, distributed unevenly among individuals. This distribution is part of God's divine plan, requiring believers to cultivate and strengthen their faith. The text emphasizes the relationship between faith and labor, suggesting that true faith is reflected in the value of one's work. The Ap...

Proposal For A Theocratic Party 25.03.2025

This production argues that heuristics, or simplified problem-solving methods, inherently support the principles of a free market by reducing operational costs and promoting direct consumer-to-provider transactions. It contrasts the free market's efficiency in job creation with more convoluted state interventions. Thus, the Theocratic Party, which advocates for the elimination of state mechani...

American People American Power 24.03.2025

The essay, American People American Power, examines the intricate dynamics between state power, property rights, and the relationship between rulers and the governed. It highlights how the state creates and mediates competing claims on resources, defines categories of ownership, and maintains control by regulating access to property. The state's power is rooted in its ability to withhold or gr...

The Church As Experiment 23.03.2025

The church as an experiment, demonstrates the distinction between the spiritual and material worlds. Trust, essential for personal relationships, professional success, and societal stability, involves reliability and confidence in others. Although science can measure physical reality, it fails when faced with faith. Trust, built through empathy, honesty, and effective communication, forms the foun...

How To Reconfigure Canada And America 22.03.2025

The concept of a single North American economic zone necessitates a free-market system where goods and services are priced based on labor inputs, devoid of state-imposed premiums, and governed by the labor theory of value. This essay is critical of the state's role in property rights and regulatory licencing, advocating for a theocratic approach where the church holds property for believers to...

Building A Theocratic Canada 20.03.2025

This document outlines a vision for establishing a theocratic Canada, emphasizing the need for spiritual rebirth and a distinct Christian culture. It argues that true governance must be centered on God, separating believers from secular influences. • Theocracy Defined: A theocracy is characterized by a society with God at the center, built on Biblical truths. • Role of Repentance: The first step t...

The Perfected Church 18.03.2025

This essay explores the balance between faith and works in Christianity, emphasizing that while works alone cannot bring salvation, faith without accompanying works is incomplete. The ideal Christian community is depicted as one that is spiritually mature and separate from the materialistic world, guided by the Holy Spirit. This community is free from parasitic behaviors, striving for perfection t...

The Trump Program In Broad Strokes 17.03.2025

Todays essay critiques both the right and left political ideologies, arguing that both sides fail to acknowledge the fundamental principle of divine ownership of the natural world. The right's belief in individual ownership and free markets overlooks God's creation, while the left's disregard for individual property rights does not extend to government regulation. Trump’s approach of d...

The Unforgivable Sin 16.03.2025

This essay explores the concept of the unforgivable sin, which is characterized as blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, emphasizing that true repentance and fear of having committed this sin are actually signs of the Holy Spirit's work. It underscores the importance of the church as the vehicle of salvation and the necessity of the Holy Spirit's presence for one's spiritual maturation an...

Proving A Theocracy Is A Perfect System 15.03.2025

A theocracy operates without physical coercion because its laws are intrinsic to the system, as exemplified by Jesus' fulfillment of the law in Matthew 5:17-20. In contrast to human exocratic systems, which are governed externally, God's creation is isocratic, where truth and morality are absolute. Sin, which harms oneself, and evil, which harms others, are detrimental to the success of in...

The End Of Cultural Relativism 14.03.2025

The author argues that a culture with lower taxes and crime is superior to cultures where social costs are high. He then posits that achieving this lower taxes and crime threshold, requires transitioning to a theocracy. This essay is a critique of cultural relativism, suggesting that without a belief in objective right and wrong, society will descend into nihilism and chaos. The author contends th...

Proposition Of Universal Duality 13.03.2025

This essay examines the concept of duality within various systems, critiquing both capitalism and communism for their inherent divisions, while proposing that the true line of division lies between those aligned with God and those aligned with the devil. It contrasts individuals who are driven by external forces and centralized power with those who are called by visions of the future. The deepest...
