Why is there war, what is the essential component of war, the feature or event that makes war inevitable? Conventional histories and critiques of war are highly superficial and rationalistic. They are more about exercising hindsight than engaging in an analytics that provide some predictive value. The following is an introduction to the why of war that provides a launching pad for a predictive ana...

There is a problem mankind has not solved, the problem is we do not know if our problems all come from the same source or are disconnected and can be solved using individualized solutions. But if we have not even solved this issue do we even understand what a problem is, and if we cannot explain what a problem is how can we solve any of our problems? This fact explains why mankind has been adept a...

The war for reality is a war for your mind, a war about what we value most, and why.

Race Is Reality. We are of two minds, as a species. Two minds form two realities and two realities form two distinct races. The division between peoples is real. We think differently. We value things differently. These two world views are not interchangeable, they are not compatible and they cannot be morphed into a merged reality embraced by all. This is why political parties always fall on one s...

No doubt we need police reform, but what kind? If we take away some of their powers or replace some of their duties with specialized units, what happens to policing? It is not as if people become more honest, moral or reliable when they take off their police identity and put on some other units uniform and duties. Even ministers and politicians can be corrupted and incompetent. It is unlikely redu...

If there is anything considered inherently good, it is equality. The concept is however so imprecise it leaves little room for criticism. People agree that equality is good because it means whatever the person wants it to mean. Regardless, it is not a good or desirable condition whatever the hearer thinks it means. In this ground breaking essay the argument is put forward that equality is not a de...

Are your tired of the petty crime that eats away at the decorum of your community? Misdemeanors are the steppingstone to every recidivist’s career. Are you interested in a justice system that is less militaristic and more civil? Common Law is the ancient and traditional response tribal communities relied on to deal with malfeasance and social misfits. There is a tribal alternative to a policing mo...

We all want free speech until we hear what others are saying about us. But how can we eliminate or put boundaries on the speech other others without running afoul of this restrictions ourselves?

Liberal democracy has been the order of the day throughout the history of Canada. It is well known that Canadian conservatives are a nervous lot, more comfortable with carefully scolding their liberal counterparts than in developing policies that eliminate the state from the public square. So long as the state looks for places to occupy it is not a serious contender for conservative votes. There i...

Christians and conservatives argue there is only one race, the human race. This understanding of race is not shared with materialists and those who believe in evolution. Darwin’s theory of evolution suggests there is a hierarchy of races. Darwins theory of race kicks wide open the door to racism. In simple terms racism is the theory of evolution applied phenotypes. The Bibles position is there are...

Lately there have been calls to defund the police. These calls were unreasonable, or so everyone thought. In this discussion the alternative to draconian policing is considered. Not in terms of criminals but from the perspective of citizens who may just be in opposition with government mandates. In light of the unreasoned and unparalleled (for Canada at least) demonization of citizens by the autho...

Yes, finally someone who will tell you the truth about inflation. It is not just about the money. Inflation is caused by expanding the money supply, in the same way whisky is made weak by the added water. Yes, water is being added to the whisky and money is added to the supply, but the real problem is that the amount of whisky is not growing relative to the dilutant. We will explain who adds the w...

The Truckers Convoy is the single most important event in the history of man since the Second World War, and it may even be of greater significance than this. The Convoy started from humble beginnings but from its inception there were people who sensed there was more to this gathering of truckers, than was being said. What is the underlying issue that has united regular workers all the world over...

Canada has always been a very liberal nation. Its political priority has always revolved around freedom. This has benefitted the liberal and socialist parties. Conservative parties have always acted more as an anchor on radical progressive reforms than a true alternative. More and more people are realizing unbounded freedom with unrestrained spending means destruction of the middle class and small...

This is a mental experiment. It presents an imaginary scenario. The stylized and allegorical nature of the presentation is required to ensure you are not actually triggered by the presentation. The idea is to ask a potentially highly charged question without infuriating, triggering or offending anyone. This is an academic exercise. If you are not able to engage is speculative thought or analyzing...

There is a great division in the world, though it could be illustrated in different ways the major divisions are even more fractured. If we look at what we do as being based on a dissatisfaction with the present, then all our divisions, whether large or small, are differences of what we ought to do next. The left and right are primarily disagreements over whether our next move ought to decrease or...

Trigger Warning: This is an essay of the nature of evil. Due to circumstances beyond the control of the author, Robert was forced to deal solely with man and woman as biological sexes. No attempt was made to include a wider spectrum or any gender identities, these fall way, way beyond the purview of this discussion. If you are of a gender other than the one specified by your sex this discussion wi...

There are two forms of Good. Evil cannot be fully understood unless we firsts understand the two forms of Good.

Liberals argue gender identity is a real thing and not determined by biology. But during debates on intersectionality there are no other fluid characteristics, indeed it is considered poor form to claim intersectional status that is not natural to the person. To even claim victimization as a woman, when one is a transgender woman, is frowned upon. To identify as a race, religion or size that canno...

Is business more than a method of making money? Is there a higher purpose that business is obligated to adhere to? The profit motive while it gives business owners an objective measure of success fails to capture what business is about for most business owners. Most businesspeople are not comfortable with thinking of their employees as an expense. Where has business theory gone wrong. Why does bus...

We all notice the advance of hate through our social discourse. The vitriol has settled preferentially in the area of politics, but it is everywhere we look. Social media has been especially hard hit. But what is hate? Where does it come from? More importantly, what can we do to eliminate hate? Once we analyze the nature of hate and its source, the solution is not difficult to discern. In this vid...

What if all of our social problems are all due to an accounting problem some 6000 years old. Meaning, solve the bookkeeping and the problems of war, crime, poverty, taxation, inflation, unemployment, poverty and inequality are all wiped out in one swipe of the pen. The pen is indeed mightier than the sword

There is a war over how we live and regarding which system we do business in. We are given two options. During most of history the only option has been to live under a state. We have been offered two kinds of state but regardless of if we veer left or right we remain under the regulatory power of the state. The real war is between this right of the state to govern us, through its regulatory author...

A Citizen Republic is an association of citizens who have separated from the state to take possession of their political jurisdiction. In this discussion we look at the characteristics of a Citizen Republic, which is different from a Constitutional Republic and different again from democracies and other conventional political structures. Citizen Republics are an amalgamation of commercial operatio...

Apriorian grows citizens from subject. Subjects are like weeds and the state is allegorically akin to poor soil. Faith is earth from which crops spring. The crop is citizens, the garden is a political jurisdiction. To grow citizens, one needs a political jurisdiction in which the soil is planted with the seeds of citizenship. Citizens do not grow in unfertile soil or without seeds being planted. T...
