Tabula rasa, colloquially know as “blank slate,” is the idea of individuals are born without any mental predilections, so that all of their personality & morality comes from outside educational & sensory experiences; the nurture side of the nature vs. nurture debate. Proponents argue that humans are born without differing psychological traits and that all aspects of one's personality, soci...

The term “pro life” implies that living is the primary goal of its adherents, but that is demonstrably not accurate in that many Pro Lifers are accepting of the Death Penalty, going to war, and potentially dying in a car accident. If they could use this same moral flexibility on the view of a preborn life, then even if they believe that life begins at conception, at what point in the baby’s develo...

The story of the Garden of Eden is confusing to children and adults alike: why were Adam and Eve so unceremoniously tossed out of paradise naked? Why was knowledge forbidden? One interpretation, Psalm 51:5 says "I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me." Was it because they had sex? This interpretation caused a lot of angst-ridden Christian teenagers througho...

Every child growing up in a Christian household learns to bless the food, pray before bedtime, and not use the lord’s name in vain. That last one is always confusing; not only is the sentence structure awkward but the word “vain” doesn’t seem to fit. As a kid, I certainly didn’t know what it meant, something to do with cursing. I’m know I’m not the only one who grew up feeling uncomfortable if I s...

Unless trained not to be, people are born narcissistic; they will be envious, vain, self-centered, controlling, lustful & murderous. Society discourages these inclinations. A common mechanism society uses to propagandize its members is religion, for example, Christianity specifically targets these proclivities, which it terms “vices,” specifying virtues instead. But Christianity is more subtle...

Deep down, people are narcissists, and they will act in their own self-interest. Leaders throughout history have required something to keep their followers in line; the most successful has been religion. People can be motivated by many things: lust, avarice, anger; but all are topped by fear. Though the concept was cloaked in fealty. altruism & righteousness, at its essence, fear of an all-pow...

Without an omniscient being watching your every move & listening to your thoughts, people have no supreme power over them; there’s no “Because God said so” refrain to keep them under control. Due to envy & resentment, no person can take the place of God, even if they were always right. It’s possible an A.I. can eventually serve in that role but it would have to be a monotheism, otherwise h...

There’s a lot happening inside your brain that you don’t know about but should: 1. Perversity is the underlying motive of altruism. 2. The primary victims when a soldier is killed is not women. 3. The worst kind of aggression is the passive kind because it’s difficult to tell. 4. Because people are vain, they hate their betters. 5. No one is really altruistic; they’re doing it for something. 6. If...

Now that over half of young women have or have had a clinically-diagnosed mental health issue, it’s important to know the acronyms of the most common ones. The first 4 are from “Cluster B,” characterized by dramatic, impulsive, self-destructive, emotional behavior and incomprehensible interactions with others. HPD Histrionic personality disorder is characterized by a pattern of excessive attention...

Society is currently failing, and even though our side, the patriarchy, is finally in the driver’s seat again, we haven’t won: the other side can publicly cheer on the assassination of our heroes with little or no accountability, and certainly no shame. When half of the population revels in the demise of the other half, that’s a sign of a society that is fundamentally ill. DEI is only halted for a...

Everyone thinks they’re a victim. It doesn’t matter what their position in life, whether or not they’re rich or poor, where they came from, what their religion is, what color they are, or how intelligent they may be. This is because everyone thinks they’re the center of the universe, and they can clearly see that they aren’t, that must mean somebody or something is working against them; hence vict...

Neurotransmitters in your brain determine how happy you are. In fact, your emotions can all be traced to one hormone or another. One of those is oxytocin, the so-called “love hormone” because it influences emotional bonding, trust, and social interactions. Though not as famous as its companions, dopamine & serotonin, proper amounts of oxytocin is essential for good mental health. Oxytocin is r...

Supposedly, altruism is concern for the well-being of others. The word “altruism” has only been around less than 2 centuries, starting at the time of the French revolution, and since then it has expanded to include consideration for other sentient things, like animals, but even plants for some. In it’s idealistic state, altruism is when an individual performs an action at personal cost, pleasure,...

Of all the subconscious internal emotions & motivations that cause humans to do what they do, one of the biggest is vanity. Everyone’s vanity is that they are the center of the universe. How can it be any different? Even as a child, everything was about you, and though you may mature and recognize the needs of other people, your needs and pride still come first. But, of course, you are certain...

There are two different kinds of aggression, though only the masculine manifestation, violence & threats, is socially acceptable to point out, prevent & punish. Passive aggression, where the words & demeanor of the person exhibiting it, usually females, are non-threatening, but often just as effective in accomplishing the intent to get somebody else to comply with their will. Passive a...

The major indicator that feminism is a farce is that women don’t want to be drafted; men don’t either but they are. When confronted with this obvious hypocrisy, feminists snap into cognitive dissonance, meaning their logic & priorities are subverted to make illogical arguments supporting the unsupportable. In some case, the things they say would be laughable if they weren’t so tragic; for exam...

Perversity is an unmentioned but primary component of human nature. It’s the major impetus of the Left, who hide behind a facade of altruism to mask their envy, resentment & malevolence; however, Charlie Kirk’s assassination put the Left’s schadenfreude on full display for all to see. The tens of thousands of people who reveled in his death publicly are dwarfed by the millions who secretly rej...

Let's review the concepts around Universal healthcare <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">The problems with healthcare are equal parts demagoguery & monopoly.</p> </li> <li> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">The inequity of Obamacare is that it puts the burden for The Poor on the Middle Class.</p> </li> <li> <p style="margin-b...

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">It seems unlikely that the solution to lowering the cost of universal healthcare can come through politics, there are simply too many players: doctors, insurers, unions & entrepreneurs, who are complicit in the status quo, as proven by the Obamacare debacle. The reason Obamacare doesn't do cost containment is because the Insurance & Healthcare...

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">The National Health Service, or NHS, is Britain's socialized healthcare. The NHS serves 60% of Britain's population via General Fund taxes, meaning there is no Payroll tax. The buildings are not glass monuments to medicine, but instead plain & unobtrusive, in the local neighborhood where patients can walk to them. Trucks with the specialized equip...

The Veterans Administration's healthcare has been lambasted for poor service, which was blamed on “government.” What? Do people think the VA has bad doctors with outdated equipment who are too lazy to do their job? Where did the impression that the VA is a failed boondoggle come from? Well, you need to look deeper than your sanctimony for the real reasons. First, Market Forces-types browbeat the V...

Almost all medical costs are fixed. A hospital doesn't get any cheaper by not having patients: the equipment & the medical staff have to be there whether there's one patient or the Waiting room is full. Think of the whole hospital as one cost & more people using it wouldn't make much difference to prices. Also, different costs assigned to different procedures are purely artificial: fixing...

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">It's not like Obama started with the idea of, "Oh, let's make the insurance companies rich." He was a Single-Payer guy, but not one Republican would support him, which forced him to capitulate to a few corrupt Democrats in the pockets of the Insurance industry. Obama probably thought his plan would get changed later, at least I hope he did b...

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">The monthly insurance premium for a 2-earner Middle Class 3-children family is about $2K/mo with $1000 deductible for the Silver Plan. If the family earns $120K a year, they don't qualify for an Obamacare subsidy, so with no employer footing the bill, regular families have difficulty affording it, and as premiums continue to increase during the next d...

Feminism is the most influential change ever in society so let’s discuss it: 1. Feminism started out benignly but eventually wanted to overthrow men. 2. Maybe repealing a woman’s right to vote is impossible but maybe it’s not? 3. Women’s prerogatives can’t be modified until men’s sense of duty is stilted. 4. No matter what women connive, it will always be a man’s world. 5. Children have to be trai...
