  • The Three Characters of Honest Debate

    Each of these characters represents one of the three axes of coercion.  Put yourself in the center of a triangle with each of them at a corner, and try to achieve a consensus.  This is the easiest way to understand the problem of political cooperation.  Coercion isn’t possible, only exchange.

Bill Joslin’s Order: 1 Stoicism – 2 Shinto – 0 Buddism – -1 Christian – -2 Islam 1 engages reality purposefully 2 engage reality arbitrarily 0 avoid reality -1 engages fantasy (excluding Christian mystic practices) or could be listed above 0 because it is also engaging community…. tough one -2 vigorous assimilation of fantasy

  • If a God Cannot Be Spokent of Truthfully, then How Can it be a god?

    I talk to my god every day. My work is the result of a promise to my god. But like I fight against false statements, false arguments, false promises, and false stories, I also fight against false gods, and the false words of men who create and preserve the false gods. For if god is not identical to, and known by truth then how may he be a god?
