Our Axioms:
1. Existence exists. Sounds like a no-brainier, but I say the rejection of THIS is the foundation of ALL liberal insanity. There is NOTHING that comes out of a liberals’ mouths that does not first pass through their subjective belief that reality is not real.
2. A is A. A thing is what it is.
3. That man knows the world through reason. Reason says that man is to be free to pursue his happiness without being a sacrificial animal to others, nor shall anyone become a sacrificial animal to another.
4. The most moral society is a capitalist society.
Our society’s problem is that we believe two conflicting foundational principles. On one hand, we say that capitalism is the most moral, and in the same breath we claim altruism. However, altruism is the direct opposite of capitalism. And just as we can’t hold two contradictory ideas in our head at the same time, neither can a society hold two conflicting morals.
This conflict has avoided coming to a head through compromise for more than 200 years. We are now living in the time when these two conflicting ideas have come to the final showdown. It will be one or the other, have no doubts about that. Everything you see is driven by what I’m talking about. The more people that “get it,” the grater our chances of turning humanity back on course. We need not a Conservative Revolution but a true Conservative Renaissance.
The only effort to break the stranglehold collectivism has on our educational institutions is being made by the religious right. This is problematic, first because it wont work- mythology is impotent in a society whose world-space is governed by reason.
Second, because this is simply trading force for force. Given the chance, the religious right would use the legal system to force their theocracy. The left is justified in their concern of this very same thing.
Third, Christianity and leftism both propagate altruism! Compassionate conservatism propagates altruism, and neo-conservatives propagate gnosticism! We keep voting people in and wonder why we get the same either way we go! Hello!!!!!!!
So here is the philosopher, stuck in the middle of, and considered a threat by, two insanities that are at war with each other.
The collectivists threw the philosophers out of the classroom. The theologian made the philosopher into nothing more than the apologist for, and protector of his superstition.
Altruism often implies a self-centered desire to appear socially concerned. Centered on something outside one's self is to step into a productive future. Focusing on one's interests, aspirations, creations and loves is healthier than focusing on one's own moment of existence, pains, sorrows and unfulfilled wishes. America, because "it" did not stand in the way of an individual's thought process or inoffensive actions became prosperous, the "it" being petty bureaucrats who used altruism to decide what is best for people they ruled. Americans could make waves, leave wakes, disturb the peace and tranquility of doing things the same way, and build prosperity unknown elsewhere. claysamerica.com
