REMINDER:
I teach argument.
I don’t do stupid.
I don’t do stupid memes in particular.
You probably aren’t witty – you’re probably an idiot.
You probably aren’t funny – you’re probably infantile.
When you criticize precision as autism you’re an infantile idiot.
I enjoy Troll killing: it’s like eskimos and whales – a heritage thing, and FB is a bridge over infested waters.
Tolerance is an excuse of the weak.

I mean, wizard of earthsea, the Iliad and Odyssey, Beowulf, the hobbit and lord of the rings, the Nibelungenlied, La Morte De Artur, Ivanhoe, Frankenstein, [????], Starship Troopers, The Foundation Series, The Forever War, Dune.
that’s a pretty nice canon.

That’s a pretty nice canon. I could add a few more ‘stories’ in there in between to make a nice mythology, but that’s our literature right there.
The literature of heroism.

“Japan is an Island. It has NO mass migration or freedom of movement policy. It is a top 10 world economy. It trains and educates its own young to work instead of importing cheap labour. Be like Japan not a dinosaur like the soviet EU”-Jason O

The lack of depth of even the most ambitious lay thinkers never ceases to amaze me. I expect compartmentalizational ignorance from members of the academy, but the laity has no such excuse to specialize. I hear IQ this and that from people the time, and as far as I can tell, endless curiosity, extreme suspicion of your intuitions, the continuous accumulation of knowledge, and the continuous reformation of your frames in response to that knowledge is what creates ‘depth’. And as far as I know, Durant was right: that depth is most likely from the study of one or more dimensions of history- for it is demonstrated history – not justified – that tells us the truth of man.

You don’t understand. The reason to spend so much time on the philosophy, the law, the new constitution, its applications, the arguments, training others to conduct those arguments, is to prevent them from lying about our intentions and demands. There is nothing more profoundly moral than voluntary reciprocity. And if they use force to suppress it they invalidate their entire justification for governing. We’re going to win. We win either way. They will acquiesce or there will be nothing left to govern. Because all sides are armed, and committed.
