"Spiritual, but not religious" — blind intellect. "Religious, but not spiritual" — a dead heart. For God the Revealer is due a yoked spirit, sacrifice, and as the Good and Bridegroom is the source of the greatest happiness and delight.
You are not fully educated unless you have at least a general idea of how what you do know (including whatever field you specialize in) relates to the general metaphysical structure of reality as revealed by classical (Platonic/Aristotelian/Scholastic) philosophy
what's an opinion on education that will have you like this?
Mary Magdalene was not the first creature to know, nor to announce, the Resurrection. That was the angels. This copies the order of the Fall, in the act of its undoing. Angel, woman, man.
If you think the Democratic Party and NGO apparatus is inept now, wait until their pipeline of very liberal Jews willing to work for poor wages dries up.

Postliberals: "libertarianism is based on blind worship of obsolete thinkers like Adam Smith, FA Hayek, and Milton Friedman!" Also Postliberals: "You know who provides a model for how we should govern society? Antonio de Oliveira Salazar."

It's okay to celebrate Independence Day even if libertarians are still slaves. America was a good attempt and it even worked for a while. That's worth celebrating!
This one’s for the fans of GA Cohen’s *Why Not Socialism?*
Everyone is a libertarian on the Internet. Because it is simultaneously far more progressive and far more capitalist than any previous society. It is ultra-progressive because billions of people from every race, religion, and ethnicity are on the global Internet. Anyone can…
Time to debunk the “nobody is a libertarian” chart, since it’s going viral again. Anytime you see a heat map purporting to show that nobody holds a combination of economic conservative and social liberal views, you should be skeptical. They almost always manufacture that result…
The thing about the conservatives opposed to selling Federal lands (e.g. I noticed @L0m3z ), is that they clearly have not actually read @BasedMikeLee 's actual bill. Massive failure of literacy on the part of the based right. So let's look at the bill!
As some Americans celebrate “No Kings” today, I would like to note that the historical track record of Catholic monarchs is infinitely better than 20th and 21st century dictators and democratic rulers.
But they wouldn’t. People in the 1920s had seen radio, cars, and powered flight come out of nowhere in living memory. I could explain an iPhone to them in 5 minutes and they would get it. They would be more shocked, I think, at how long it took to get to this level of progress.
If people from 100 years ago could see the modern world they'd think that we're wizards.
What fosters the formation of parallel societies is not immigration itself, but rather labor market regulations, entrepreneurial entry barriers and multiple barriers to trade that restrict economic integration. Immigrants (and their children) assimilate more rapidly and…
Unlikely. California elected Reagan, both as Governor and President, who proceeded with the first amnesty for illegal immigrants (IRCA, 1986). They later voted for Prop 187 (1994) which was meant to stem the flow of mass migration, but it was quashed by the courts. CA has…
This one man did more damage to Western Europe than all of the millions of third-world illegal immigrants combined.
Ed Feser on the potentiality trope: “The skin cells on your nose might well be “potential human beings,” in the loose sense in which a rubber ball is a “potential eraser.” But a zygote is…an actual human being…just one that hasn’t yet fully realized its inherent potentials.”
The people promoting eugenic IVF keep talking as though they’re using CRISPR to change dangerous mutations. They’re *choosing* children not *curing* them. And they suggest you make spares so you can also pick the gender + eye color you want.
This tech does not *prevent* any children from going blind. It ensures that children who may go blind will never be born.
The first state to secede won't have to pay down the debt.
These guys don't understand each other. Elon Musk is too guileless. He says exactly what he thinks is true with little regard for how others will react. He alienates allies by airing disputes in public instead of settling them behind closed doors. Because he is a sperg…
Elon’s stance is principled. Trump’s stance is practical. Tech needs Republicans for the present. Republicans need Tech for the future. Drop the tax cuts, cut some pork, get the bill through.
