  1. General Billy Mitchell was banned from the military for lunacy. Because, he predicted flying gunships that could take out battleships and accurately predicted the Japanese air invasion of Pearl Harbor, with the subsequent invasion of the Philippines, decades before it happened. After it all happened as predicted, the military in a great oops moment, re-admitted Billy Mitchell and gave him the congressional medal of honor.
  2. Truth in advertising

    We have no problem with laws regarding truth in advertising. It is entirely legal to sue those engaged in false advertising - false claims and engineered misleading information. It is entirely possible to do the same regarding “Truth in reporting”. Many countries (outside the USA) not thought of as oppressive, authoritarian, socialist or communist have laws and regulations regarding “truth” - which is in some cases considerably in a grey area - but quite often not. We should consider national legislation in the USA regarding allowing litigation against false reporting.

  5. Defining U.S. Conservatism Down

    Found this article rather interesting. Also it made me grin as apparently I'm one of a very tiny handful of people the author talks about who've consistently voted for a long time (decades in my case) against both political parties.
  6. I posted an essay today at Warp, Weft and Way, an excellent blog of Eastern philosophy discussing this question. It's a response to a provocative post Donald Sturgeon posted last October. He was asking, can a Daoist (specifically a Zhuangist) criticize Nazis who are following their dao, given their rejection of conventional morality and relativism? [EDIT: to be clear, "their" rejection of conventional morality means "Daoists' rejection of"...] My essay reframes the question to ask, "Can there even be such a thing as a Nazi Dao?" The short answer is, sort of, but the goals and techniques are so destructive of Dao that they would quickly backfire and fail. They can be rejected purely on the grounds of ineffectiveness. There really can't be a Dao that seeks complete domination of nations through constant war. The question I didn't address is, are there other "bad" goals that can have effective Daos that work and would not undermine those involved? I can't think of any, but I'm curious what others think.
  7. Love, Romance, dating, and finances

    Romance seems futile? well... The sad fact is that: this is America. Oh yeah, there's more to that sad fact, it gets worse: In The United States of America, we are born, raised, and bred into a caste of helplessness. If you are helpless, feel helpless, and more importantly want to revoke the helplessness, you are "shown" that you need money. "We" are brainwashed into focusing so much on a fictitious financial reality, that we completely blind ourselves to true physical reality. Dating is not about love here in America, its about romance. Romance isn't about love or affection, it's about financial security and "testing" the waters to see if your "target" is sufficient in being capable, or to "take care of" you, because you have unwittingly willed yourself into a state of helplessness and need someone external to rely on... HOWEVER, the catch 22 is that we naturally seek people we can relate to. Likes attract, not opposites. We want to be able to relate to our mate, not oppose them. Since we've been bred into helplessness and thus seek other helpless people that we can relate to, we all too often wind up in unsuccessful relationships because we're both looking to the other for support. not emotional, but financial. Furthermore, the financially secure sector is focused on finances and doesnt understand their own emotional involvement in life and cannot offer comfort for the emotional needs, only financial ones; thus resulting in finances dominating over emotions, people becoming clinically depressed, and marriages failing repeatedly and consistently in the united states. What we wind up with is a massive stagnation of sexual and spiritual energies that sort of "sticks" to everyone that comes into contact with it, further sticking to others, and others moreover. NOW everyone is focused on sex and money. We are controlled.
