    Curt Doolittle updated his status.

    Daniel Gurpide

    1. We should be aware that we are living in an interregnum (postmodernity), a period of waiting during which destiny hangs between two options: either to complete the triumph of the egalitarian conception of the world (the end of history), or to promote a historical regeneration.

    —“Without shared mythology, values, rituals, signals, institutions, language, culture, and kinship …. without some local commonality in these, there is no commensurability or decidability possible between individuals, and no coincidence of interests, and therefore no cooperation, only conflict.”— Eli Harman

    “That which appears inconceivable is merely a function of the determinacy of human behavior and the ignorance of the incentives”

    —“Thirty-one percent (31%) of Likely U.S. Voters say it’s likely that the United States will experience a second civil war sometime in the next five years, with 11% who say it’s Very Likely. A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 59% consider a second civil war unlikely, but that includes only 29% who say it’s Not At All Likely. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

    Democrats (37%) are more fearful than Republicans (32%) and voters not affiliated with either major party (26%) that a second civil war is at hand.

    But 59% of all voters are concerned that those opposed to President Trump’s policies will resort to violence, with 33% who are Very Concerned. This compares to 53% and 28% respectively in the spring of Obama’s second year in office. Thirty-seven percent (37%) don’t share that concern, including 16% who are Not At All Concerned.

    Fifty-three percent (53%) are concerned that those critical of the media’s coverage of Trump will resort to violence, with 24% who are Very Concerned. Forty-two percent (42%) are not concerned about violence from media opponents, including 17% who are Not At All Concerned.”—

    —“With the animals we share the passions and the appetites.

    But the human is distinguished by his volitional ability to override the animal passions and appetites with the dictates perceived through our sense of reason.

    Will our volition be slave to the passions? Or can we override those passions and act according to reason when reason and passion conflict?

    This is the measure of our internal sovereignty.

    —“The optimum age for fertility for women begins at the age of 18 but a woman is at her most fertile during her early 20s and there is the lowest risk of miscarriage (9.5% between ages 20 and 24 and 10% between ages 25 and 29).”—
