  • Religions And Lies

    Would you build a religion around Frodo Baggins? It would be a pretty good religion really. Why not the Trials of Achilles? I mean. that’s the ancient world’s ‘great book of inspiration.’ What about the trials of Alexander? What about the lives of Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Zeno/Aurelius and Epicurus? History is the only mythology not false, and stoicism the only mindfulness not false. WHY DO YOU NEED LIES?

    RELIGIONS AND LIES

    Would you build a religion around Frodo Baggins? It would be a pretty good religion really.

    Why not the Trials of Achilles? I mean. that’s the ancient world’s ‘great book of inspiration.’

    What about the trials of Alexander?

    What about the lives of Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Zeno/Aurelius and Epicurus?

    History is the only mythology not false, and stoicism the only mindfulness not false.

    WHY DO YOU NEED LIES?

    The only intellectuals that buy the equality fallacy are those who are some version of pseudoscientific, justificationary, pseudo-religious, or religious Abrahamists. Why? Because the lie of equality is the means by which the underclasses destroyed the great civilizations. #Trump

    I see more SMART ‘sh-t’ coming out of African upper classes than western upper classes – that’s for sure.The reason there are ‘sh-thole countries is purely demographic. And it’s nearly impossible for any people without a clan-independent army to fix that problem. #Trump

  • Minor movies worth watching if you haven’t seen them. The reason I want to call

    Minor movies worth watching if you haven’t seen them. The reason I want to call them out, is in part, that villenueve’s use of kubrick’s techniques combined is (thankfully) spreading into the indie and drama markets. Secondly, the use of increasingly layered plots is also becoming ‘a necessity’. (Whch we all attribute to the HBO series’ etc). (I want to see the whole ‘vfx spectacle’ die as soon as possible.) – The Beyond (different tack on Arrival) – Devil’s Gate (very fun and unexpected) – The Strange Ones (if you can’t get into it) – 2:22 (um… a bit predictable, and beyond suspension of disbelief, but well done) And of course: – Three billboards, which is not quite Tarantino, but a nod to the form. It’s getting to the point where if a star is included in the lineup the movie is guarranteed to be sh–t. If it’s using lots of character actors, then it’s going to fly. It’s almost a truism.

  • Bad Mothers A Bad Country Make

    Well, reality is, that Sh-t people, make Sh-t countries, that have Sh-t institutions, including Sh-t infrastructure. All the virtue signaling in the world does nothing but continue the problem. There is only one honest virtue signal you can send – go there and physically do something about it. And stop making excuses for bad mothers who raise bad children, who build a bad country. Because that’s the reason. Bad mothers a bad country make. BAD MOTHERS A BAD COUNTRY MAKE.
