  1. I agree with you, science tells us what is not what ought to be, which is why the scientific materialism is so detrimental, and the fact that most don't even recognize that the rapidly decreasing morality of the culture had its roots in Christianity.

    You get the types like Sam Harris that thinks you can invent them rationally and have them be almost objectively binding even though they are subjective.

    Indeed anarchist societies without a foundational morality would not do well, and again, this is why I want to see it play out. Let us see which cultural norms turn out to be beneficial for the whole society. In the U.S. we see huge discrepencies that lead one to conclude that the culture is not conducive for a large part of society.

    Let us see the atheists society, let us see the fundamentalist Christian society. Let us see the society of individualist and socialist and so forth.

  2. I'm in Colorado springs. Our fall starts around October or so and winter is mild until jan or feb. The worst weather here is early to mid spring. That's when it's really cold and the snow comes.

  3. We can get snow all the way into May here and some of the high country ski joints are open into June some years but here the last few weeks have been brutally got. In the 90s. We don't get much of a spring. Winter drags its sorry ass till late May and then it just snaps into summer.

  4. Part of an email/newsletter from the RP Institute. Interesting stuff.

    Not long after the NATO- and US government-funded pro-war "think tank" the Atlantic Council put out a policy paper demanding that social media outlets do more to remove "fake news" -- i.e. news they don't like -- Facebook brought the Atlantic Council on board to decide which kinds of news stories are allowed on Facebook.

    Not coincidentally, shortly after they hired that pro-interventionist, pro-war "think tank," the Ron Paul Institute suddenly found itself unable to promote its articles on Facebook. Our traffic has been massively curbed and only a tiny percent of those who "like" our Facebook Page are being served up our offerings. They are strangling us and using US government money to do so!

    This is but one example of how governments are colluding with mainstream media and neoconservatives to control the narrative, to tighten its grip on what kinds of news and opinion Americans are allowed to consume.

  8. And the sheep eat it up like it's laced with unmentionable drugs! That's the worst part! I know people who actually believe that anything that does not come from MSNBC, CNN, FOX, etc is all fake news conspiracy theory idiots and should be dismissed with a grain of salt. They fully trust MSM and anything that differs from the TV narrative is a lie meant to discredit their beloved government.

  9. Oh. And clearly the media is NOT in anyway influenced by the state or politics. Totally neutral.

  10. So now Facebook is mainstream media?

    That is laughable.

  11. I'd imagine more people get their news from FB these days than anywhere else.

  14. I knew Facebook taking on fake news was only going to be Facebook taking down news that doesn't fit their bias and leaving up all the fake news that does. It's total bullshit...

  17. They're not mainstream media but they're part of the same information controlling machine that the media is part of.
