Some ideas no one will thank you for saying
I believe all these points can be strongly proved by direct evidence or argumentation, but because they run counter to one or the other of the different popular narratives in favor today, they will likely not be accepted. Certainly not all of them together, in combination. But my principal argument is that it is only…

The essential unity of humanity
From one man and woman God created all nations. This idea that we are meant to carry with us is thus: the essential brotherhood and sisterhood of all mankind. The idea that divisions of race are but the growth and accident and artifice of time and development. That we are all one at heart, in…

Why a balanced perspective sucks
Sometimes I hate being able to see the arguments and mistakes of both sides, because I can see how everyone is making good points and both are also wrong, and both are completely oblivious that they’re making the exact mistakes they accuse the others of. I can see the principles, and they only see the…

The lies of omission
The myths of our time, that don’t tell us the truth about the world. They have power because they are a skins of partial truth, or they’re a counterbalance to the abuse of the actual truth. They have the right spirit, but the wrong content. Instead of correcting the truth, they contradict it. And the…

The problem with “solutions”
The mistake so many people make that causes so much conflict and confusion is that they want to have unitary answers. They want a universal solution to a problem or question. A specific and definitive right and wrong choice. And when they disagree and can’t work out their conflicts, they either get resentful at the…

I imagine that people equivocate because even in circumstances of objective personal tragedy, they don’t want to surrender to having the terms of the meta-narrative that tragedy is being used as an element of dictated to them. Because it’s not a personal story, it’s a specially selected local incident elevated to national attention for very…

Incitement to violence and Christianity
Kill the white devils! Viva la revolution! The key difference between King and many other revolutionaries who have preached similar ethics about the need to directly overturn systems of order for the sake of justice is that King was deeply committed to the doctrine of Christian love as the guiding and restraining principle that tamed…

What makes sexual alternatives attractive?
I’ve been rolling a lot of ideas around in my head for a long time, trying to figure out what it is that’s attractive about numerous aspects of sexuality. Specifically, pornography, prostitutes, and certain aspects of other alternative sexual cultures. One huge problem with almost everything everyone has to say about sex is that they…

Glorifying non-conformity
From a reply to a social media post about Christianity being for the outsiders and about accepting the outsiders, that that’s who Jesus liked, not the insiders. To which I said that, yes, it kind of was, but not because of their outsider-ness or insider-ness. That that wasn’t in itself the quality that made them…

The value of discrimination
Discrimination is the foundation of morality. All moralities. All ethics. Business, scientific, sexual, economic. It is the key to survival and to success, to health and sanity. The question to be asked about value hierarchies and discrimination isn’t, do they exist (because they are default bad for us, they’re the foundation of the definitions of,…
