People who got upset by the executive orders of Biden or Trump do not understand how democracy works. If they did understand, they would not be concerned about any executive orders but only about how democracy works. Presidents have as little power over their country as celebrity CEOs have over their corporations, nor would any serious organisation allow the whims of individual will to determine its fate. Presidents and celebrity CEOs are avatars for corporate structures, a face you can relate to, a strawman that can be burned to protect the institution when bad things had to be done.

Nominal Christians who claim that God is talking directly to them, that God is guiding their fate, that God imparts sacred, immanent knowledge into their hearts, are essentially Gnostics masquerading by means of Christian symbolism.

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion was the best promotional campaign for fascism ever. Reverse psychology is more persuasive than direct advertising.

The term “trans-woman” implies abnormality. The prefix ‘trans’ implies something transferred or displaced from the norm of womanhood. Moreover, since “woman” in this schema is (and must be) generally undefinable, then statements of the form ‘I feel like something undefinable’ or ‘I am trans-something-undefinable’ are pure non-sense.

No, mental health does not need more funding. The underlying causes and incentives of mental dysfunction need defunding, including the mental health industry.

“Real-world data” is not evidence of causality without an experimental control group.

Self implication (P implies P) is presupposed in all reasoning. It is just an alternative expression of the law of identity. Any attempt to prove self-implication must assume it in order to maintain the identity of P along the evaluative chain, or else any instance/mention of P could be anything at all. As such, the theorem of self-implication is proven a priori Only by the contradiction that results from its denial: to deny it is to allow P and not-P.
The phrase “think for yourself” is a truism; nothing else is “thinking”.
What if the government, the experts, the judiciary, are just trolling you (and always have)?

How do you persuade someone who knows that murder is wrong to believe that murder is right?
You call it “war”.

The only thing standing in the way of mastering Nature is the conviction that death, disease and disaster ought to be defeated. Everything is as it must be, except our own ideas, reasons and intentions.
Consent to power does not entail that the relevant power ‘therefore’ has authority; it is merely an act of submission to the dominant power (irrespective of whether it has authority or not). Even if everyone were to agree that the dominant power ‘has authority’, this would not entail that the relevant power ‘therefore’ has authority. It is a category mistake to equate consent with authority. Another way, personal value-judgment is not subject to a normative principle if the principle is subject to personal value-judgment.
The essence of controversy associated with official forms asking the applicant to identify their gender from options that go beyond Male and Female is not that it compells acceptance of a dogma or ideology, but resides in the fact that the question is already discriminatory on the basis of gender identity: it invalidates gender identity based on a ‘deeply felt sense of difference from the opposite sex’. By implying that people of different sexes can have the same gender identity (and therefore, legally, the same gender), it invalidates the deeply felt sense that gender is based just on sexual difference.
A question that posits non-binary options does not ask just about subjective preferences but purports to appeal to some normative principle that applies generally, objectively, and this generalisation of gender is already discriminatory (and contradictory, therefore not normative). It is like posting a questionnaire in which applicants are required to state which race is the most superior, and limiting the choices to races that have light coloured skin.

Creation of meaning is the ‘exception’ that grounds sovereignty. These who merely depend on others to provide them with meaning are not sovereign, choose not to be sovereign, but only subjects. “The structure of sense, internalised as the logical consistency of Self-ideation with respect to other beings of the same kind, determines not only the moral integrity of our conduct but the ontological integrity of the Self, where objective morality is not an impediment to conscious agency but its optimal realisation; the essence of creative power over meaning, which is the ultimate self-interest.”
A vaccine is not properly tested for safety without a longitudinal study that looks at overall health outcomes. Moreover, the control group must consist of individuals who were not vaccinated with any vaccine because other vaccines may be strong confounders, with similar long term effects, similar adjuvants and environmental contaminants.
Vinu Arumugham #MAHA argued previously that vaccines produced during the allergy season could be contaminated with air-born allergens (such as pollen). I suspect that even a perfectly purified vaccine could be contaminanted at the time of administration, with pollen being in the air and thus inadvertantly drawn into the syringe or contaminating the needle. I am not sure which possibility is more likely.

WWIII will not be a war between political superpowers, ideologies or economic blocks, despite being instrumentally presented as such, but between the managerial super-class and the unreflective 80% of the global population who are ‘dragging us down’, fulfilling a perceived need for self-defence (by the priesthood) against universal devolution.
The purpose of freedom is to compel you to reveal whether you are made in the image of God.

How to win on the Stockmarket. Invest only in companies that consistently lose money but ’inexplicably’ go up in price because they are protected intelligence or strategic operations conducted on behalf of the ruling power. Protected insiders drive the price before the little people catch on and the insiders’ cash out. One may include Bitcoin and real estate as likely protected investments, with designated periods of growth, followed either by liquidation or stagnation.

Being “open minded” is a euphemism for not having a protocol for discerning true from false, right from wrong.
It is a sin to have sex without a licence from the Church. The licence is called “wedlock” or “marriage”. Sex itself is not a sin, only the failure to obtain the licence is a sin.
