Kids are told in Western countries not to reproduce. They are shown films that depict humans overtaking the planet. They are told not to be selfish like their parents have been, trying to forge a legacy via reproduction, in a world saturated with humans. This is a lie. There has been a population explosion, for sure. But it will [...]
The medium of television blinds us from the rich and detailed history of the last few thousand years. It focuses our limited attention on those events and ideas which have been captured on the television screen in just the last few decades. What do we know about Reality if our notions of Nature come from [...]
In a society where children are viewed as a burden, something to be avoided at all costs, it is strange to read in the Old Testament about the ancients actually praying to God for decades that He would allow them to have children. This was the case with Isaac in Genesis 25:19-28. Isaac married at [...]
Thoreau made a poignant and astute statement when he turned inward to soliloquy about the invention of the telegraph and its degrading influence on the typographical American mind: “We are in great haste to construct a magnetic telegraph from Maine to Texas; but Maine and Texas, it may be, have nothing important to communicate.” Thoreau [...]
Read this description of Brownshirt recruits; “audacity was their dogma … the destruction of all social connections had made them rootless.

America is not inherently exceptional, but exceptional only because it chose freedom, both political and economic, and then established a constitution to protect those freedoms.
Which Religion has been adopted by the entire World? Yeah, you guessed it. Education. Everybody in just about every culture buys into the myth of educational salvation, which pretends that the only thing standing between you and the desires in your heart is education. In 1900 we had 500,000 people total enrolled in institutions of higher [...]
Edmund Morris, in his book The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt, wondered how his subject could be such a racist, “During his years as a rancher, Roosevelt had acquired plenty of anti-Indian prejudice, strangely at odds with his enlightened attitude to blacks.” This is the classic view of the liberal intellectual: the personal experience of human [...]
True multicultural classics do not meet the philosophical standards of liberal academics. What does the Koran think of women? How is the Tale of Genji on egalitarianism? How do the Vedas deal with atheism and materialism? Multicultural curriculum prefers to choose texts that represent other cultures as victims of Western culture. Rather than genuinely study [...]
