Democracy is dying. We are killing it. When we abdicate from responsibility, we make it clear. We want none of that. Government cannot and won’t protect you. The social contract is null and void.

The Iniquitous Boss
Power structures are oppressive. They make us miserable and do not work. Yet we cannot shake them off. Why is that? What can we do about it?
On Responsibility
The Golden Rule predates History. It hails from the beginnings of Man. Its significance is nothing short of providential for Humanity. It set the foundation for Religion, Morality, Ethics, and defined Good and Evil in terms adapted to the meanest understanding.
Why the Left hates Guns
The Gun destroyed Feudalism. It led to the triumph of Democracy. Now the powers that be want to take away people’s freedom. To do that, they must remove the ways and means. An armed citizen is a freeman. Only slaves are not allowed weapons.
Why Freedom is an Elusive Illusion
Perfect Freedom is Utopian. Many have tried it. Most attempts succumbed to crime, misery, and moral decrepitude. A just set of Laws must moderate individual and societal excesses, keeping them in check.
Darwin Lives On
Darwin was right all along. We adapt to changing stimuli… or we die. One cannot fight change. In the long run, the Search for Meaning is meant to validate it. Its intrinsic value is part of our genetic legacy. We carry the Mortality-defying spirit of our Ancestors in our allele. We live on because we struggle to adapt. We stop struggling, we die. The Choice is Ours.

People like their comforts. I get it. People enjoy technology. They think it helps them live better lives. False. Technology makes people needy. They need, nay, crave comfort. That’s where Government steps in. They provide the comfort People pay for. That’s how Government controls the People. They lose their Freedom. But, hey as long as they have wi-fi, it’s all good, right! That’s how Corruption works.
The Liberty Illusion
The West is in free fall. The rot is everywhere. Our amorality has destroyed us. Because we ourselves are cowards, we detest courage in others. If we are lucky, it will be a quick decay into a state of confusion. If not, this living corpse will take a long time to expire. Optimism is cowardice. We are wanton optimists. Shame on us!
