A few random posts…

  • How Far Along the Path?
    Clearly certain aspects of USA version 1 are no longer operative. How far along the path of decline are we? Are we headed for reform, collapse or revolution?
  • Recapitulation (Anti-postmodernism)
    A few modest suggestions for inoculation of USA version 2 from the dangers of postmodernism discussed in the previous post.
  • Left vs. Right: an alternative view
    We tend to talk about politics/government in terms of left vs. right. What does that mean? Is there another way of talking about it that makes things clearer?
  • Definitions, part 1 (racism)
    Contrasting a few Classic Definitions of racism with the New Definitions being adduced by (specifically) Ibram Kendi and Robin DiAngelo.
  • Exposition (Anti-postmodernism)
    A modest expansion of the earlier discussion of the nature of postmodernism, based on Pluckrose and Lindsay's "two principles and four themes" outline.
