The Cosmos exists. It created life on this Earth through its own inherent tendency to evolve—to become more complex, more self-aware, more self-directing.

We are animals that evolved here on Earth. We differ from other animals only by our acquisition of language.

Language gives us unique powers but is also a trap—our minds can be controlled by false linguistic formulae (ideas, myths, and theories).

False ideas about what we are and how we should live cause us to harm ourselves, our children, each other, and our environment; in spite of our best intentions.

If we are to progress as a species, we must question all the ideas that we’ve inherited from our species’ ignorant past.

We must replace all false ideas with better theories about what the Cosmos is, how it works, how it produced us, what we are, what our consciousness is, and how we should live.

To do this we must recover our full intellectual potential—we must go beyond Science to philosophy—we must become philosophers.

I was raised as an evangelical Christian by a devout mother. When I got to college, I made the decision try to figure everything out for myself. I decided that I would question the existence of God, the truth of the Bible, and all other ideas that I had been taught and see if I could find or create better theories of what reality is and what human beings are. I was fortunate to have the ability and the time to do so. What I gradually realized, after decades of struggle, study, and thought, is that our “enlightened” Western Civilization—and all of its ideas and institutions—are based upon an ancient false theory of the human mind: spiritualism. As I had been taught, most humans believe that the Cosmos was created by a spirit-God and that our consciousness is a spirit inhabiting our bodies.

Spiritualism is an ancient magical theory of the Cosmos and of human consciousness. It is the core concept of almost all religions: Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, New Age Mysticism, etc. Even when people reject traditional religion, they usually fall prey to intellectualized versions of spiritualism: Platonic idealism, mathematical idealism, and modern Science. Yes, I will prove to you that modern Science is the product of spiritualism, created to preserve spiritualism and its religions by suppressing our ability to develop and use our full intellectual potential: philosophical cognition.

Spiritualism holds that our linguistic consciousness is not an emergent product of Cosmic evolution but is magic; that our minds participate in a magical, mystical world that has no relationship to the Cosmos or Cosmic causality. It holds that our spirit-minds are not dependent upon our brains, and therefore will survive the death of our brains (immortality). Humans go on believing in spiritualism even though it is inconsistent with everything that we know about the evolution of the Cosmos, of life on Earth, of human beings, and of our brains and language. It is also inconsistent with how we actually think and live every day of our lives.

Spiritualism is just an ancient anthropocentric myth; the projection of our own mental life upon the Cosmos itself. It is nonsense and can only produce nonsense. If we do not reject spiritualism, we are forced to choose among various supposedly-God-inspired revelations to know how the spirit-world works, what God wants, and how we should live. Lacking religious belief, people put their trust in Science and governments—which as we are witnessing, does not work and is contributing to the destruction of Western civilization. While the Cosmos, and therefore truth are one, falsehoods such as spiritualism and authoritarianism are disconnected from reality, and therefore can take on innumerable forms.

The Destructiveness of Spiritualism

It is long-past time for our species to grow out of spiritualism and all its related falsehoods. We must give up the sentimental desire for life after death. Spiritualistic belief systems are not rational, not comprehensible; and not good for us. Spiritualism cuts us off from Cosmic reality; it prevents us from understanding the true nature of the Cosmos and of ourselves. It produces what we have today: a false epistemology, false psychology, false pedagogy, false sociology, false economics, and false politics. We cling to our false, dying civilization because we know no alternative. The result is what you see around you—societies that are increasingly ignorant, coercive, and destructive.

Consider the fatal errors that spiritualism necessarily produces in our minds and societies:

1.   The doctrines of innate evil and free will —Every person is supposedly born with a magical spirit that has “free will” to make moral (religion-approved) choices. This spirit is unaffected by maturational processes, by upbringing or by experience. In essence, causality has no role in human psychology. Children will be who they are no matter what we do to them. Since these free spirits are selfish and make the “wrong” choices (like disobeying tyrannical parents) it proves that our spirits are inherently flawed—lazy, stupid and evil—just as the Bible teaches. This false psychology prevents us from understanding human nature, children’s maturational processes, and the actual determinants of human behavior. We misidentify the child’s immaturity and healthy willfulness as disobedience. All the stupidity and destruction caused by this false belief system and the authoritarian society built upon it is taken as just more proof that humans are born evil—a self-fulfilling delusional system.

2.   Universal coercion-authoritarianism—Since children and adults are innately evil, they need to be controlled by force or threat of force in order to be made into “good” persons. Parents attempt to train the child’s unruly spirit by coercion—by verbal and physical abuse. Adults too must be controlled by authorities. We fail to realize that all coercion, no matter how well-intentioned, rationalized or legalized, is violence or the threat of violence. It is a crime against the child’s or adult’s body, mind and will. Coercion, legal or not, displaces and prevents love, respect, cooperation and dialogue among persons. It is pathological and created psychological and social pathology.

Coercion negates the use of the intellect, both of the controller and the one being controlled. The resort to force is stupidity and it produces stupidity. All laws that force people to do what they otherwise would not do, or that prevent them from doing what they want to do are forms of coercioninstitutionalized violence. Violence can never aid any person’s psychosocial or intellectual maturation; it can only produce mental disturbance and more violence. Our “enlightened democracies” are actually stupid, criminal systems based upon violence—of parents against children, the state against children (schooling), lawyers-politicians against citizens, and government-privileged bankers, corporations and professions against everyone.

3.   Resignation to fate—Since one’s spirit lives forever, this temporary life on Earth has far less importance. We are willing to submit to coercion, slavery and suffering in this life because we believe that we’ll find happiness in the afterlife. Thus Christianity, chosen by the Emperor Constantine for his New Rome, has always been a great religion for slaves. Spiritualism causes us to take this life for granted, even to take our friends and family for granted—thinking that we will all exist for all eternity. If we were instead aware this is the only existence that we will ever have, we would make damned sure that this is the best world possible for ourselves, our children, other human beings, and our posterity.

4.   Disregard for Nature—Since the true reality is spiritual, the Cosmos, Earth, and all non-human life is of little importance, just a passing phase or even an illusion. We, God’s chosen species, can do whatever we want to the planet and all other species without regard for any long-term consequences. We can exploit, destroy, and pollute at will. God made the world for us and the Messiah is coming soon to clean up the mess. This has been the anti-environmental impact of all religions, including the political religions: communism and capitalism.

5.   Theism—The Cosmos is just the creation of some all-powerful super-spirit (God). To know what this God-Spirit is and what it wants we must choose some version of holy nonsense, some religion. We must follow a set of ideas and commandments supposedly dictated to some humans in the past (holy scriptures). Since this is all nonsense, it requires us to deactivate our intellects and surrender our wills. We must believe in our own mental inferiority and stupidity and turn our minds and wills over to religious, scholastic, and political authorities. Theism supports authoritarianism. Theism prevents us from creating a true understanding this world and ourselves, and from creating a better life on this planet.

6.   Religionism-Racism-Nationalism-Classism— Because spiritualist ideologies make no sense of the world, we can never agree on which one is the right one. We all inherit or choose our own version of the contradictory nonsense. The result is chaos: contradiction, confusion, controversy, and conflict. Religious/superstitious thinking leaves mankind divided into groups, each infected by some irrational ideology. Each group sees their “spirit” as superior to the others (e.g. God’s chosen people, the natural rulers, the best society, true democracy, etc.), and sees others as inferior, less human. Each group believes that they can exploit other groups and/or ignore their suffering. Since there is no possible rational agreement about religious, racial or nationalistic myths, the inevitable result is conflict and war. It is perfectly OK to kill the “other” because they are bad—whether they be men, women or children.

Spiritualism and the religions and the authoritarian political systems that it has spawned keep us trapped in a delusional Matrix of false concepts and interpretations. We try to fix the problems that our errors are producing, but since we don’t understand the causes, our solutions just make things worse. We pass more laws and we throw more money at problems, just to watch them grow worse. We routinely resort to violence, overtly or covertly in the form of regulations and controls, both at home and abroad, and everything is getting worse.  

I have written several essays for the website on how spiritualism-religion and authoritarianism keep us trapped in various destructive behaviors and institutions:

1.     Routine neglect of infants and children’s needs; abuse of children (coercive childrearing)

2.     Compulsory schooling (the universal enslavement of children—to destroy their minds and wills)

3.     Capitalism: Fractional-reserve banking (loan slavery) and Government taxation (tax-slavery), Government-created monopolies (patents, copyrights, professions, etc.), Government-created amoral profit machines--Corporations

4.     Stupid Science (incapable of philosophical cognition—see below)

5.     Pharmaceutical Corporation Medicine (instead of natural scientific medicine)

6.     Government control and distortion of all aspects of life and behavior (the Nanny State, Therapeutic State, Welfare State, political correctness, War on Drugs, etc.)

7.     Statism—the world divided into competing, antagonistic slave-states

8.     Welfare Statism—Coercive government charity displaces voluntary personal and community charity

In Western civilization, Judeo-Christianity’s false and destructive ideas have produced and sustained our authoritarian political-economic system. However, if you, like most people, do not take ideas seriously, you will dismiss the role of religion in Western Civilization because most people don’t actually believe in traditional religions anymore. I agree that they do not, and add that most persons who claim to be Jews or Christians are not. However, the product of non-belief or selective belief in religion is a state of inconsistency and confusion. How many Christians have sold everything they had and given the money to the poor? How many Christians live only to worship God and preach the gospel? Instead, all people who call themselves Jews, Christians and Muslims hold some inconsistent, personal version of the holy nonsense that they are comfortable with—that allows them to enjoy their fancy houses and cars and generally keep up with the Joneses. They combine a few ideas from their religion with their own commonsense ideas about what is real and how they should live. They therefore live in a state of contradiction, confusion and hypocrisy.

This is our society’s dilemma: Our ideology and institutions are based upon Judeo-Christian spiritualism, yet most people no longer believe in Judeo-Christianity. Even those who consider themselves believers do not actually know the contents of their holy scriptures and certainly do not attempt to abide by every word found there. People have lost their belief in traditional religion, but have found nothing to replace it—no coherent set of ideas about what the Cosmos is, what human beings are, and how we should live. Science and Socialism do not fill the void. Even agnostics and atheists are infected with spiritualistic ideas—because their society is based upon spiritualism. Most non-believers in religion are still spiritualists. Every person remains a spiritualist until he/she truly understands, and therefore believes, that human linguistic consciousness is just the latest product of Cosmic evolution.

We humans, as a species, will remain trapped in spiritualism/religion/authoritarianism until we replace this ancient false ideational complex with Cosmism—a rational, working theory of what the Cosmos is, how it produced us, what we are, and how we should live. That is the next challenge for humanity. In order to solve our problems and create the intelligent, creative, and peaceful global society that we all want, we must produce and share a working theory of the Cosmos. All our ideas and practices must be consistent with Cosmic reality. This process is already underway—as evidenced by the increased interest in Cosmology, the environment, natural medicine, etc. However it cannot succeed without a fundamental revolution in thought.

The Problem with Science

What is holding us back? What is preventing us from producing a shared, rational theory of the Cosmos and ourselves? Isn’t Science leading us to the truth, to all the answers that we need? Isn’t Science going to figure out everything and solve all our problems? The truth will surprise you. Science is, in fact, at the root of our intellectual pathology. It us part of the problem, not of the solution. This becomes clear when one actually defines “Science” as opposed to philosophy, as I will do.

When I tried to understand what the Cosmos is, I started at the foundation. I studied theoretical physics—our science that deals with the fundamental building blocks of reality. What I found was shocking. Our revered moder physics—Relativity and Quantum Mechanics—are not theories about what exists and causes physical phenomena. Relativity and Quantum Mechanics are just observer-based accounting models. They attempt only to model and predict the human observers’ conscious experiences. They analogous to the observer-based Ptolemaic system that modeled the motion of the planets and stars in the Earth-observer’s frame.

Albert Einstein created both Relativity and Quantum Mechanics based upon his reading of the then-popular ideas in philosophy. He was following an ideological tradition that was begun by Bishop Berkeley. In the mid-1600s, Berkeley saw the threat posed to the Christian religion by the Copernican Revolution and Newton’s theory of matter, space and time. Berkeley attacked Newton’s Mechanics as atheism because it referred to Cosmic entities and processes that did not rely upon God—a “clockwork universe”. Berkeley realized that if humans kept figuring out how the Cosmos works, there will be no “gaps” left for God and spiritualism—and this was before Darwin’s revolution.

Berkeley came up with a plan to stop all such theorizing about the Cosmos and Cosmic causes. He abandoned dualism—the default belief of most persons—that there is both a God/spirit world and a physical Cosmos. He claimed that since we are spirits, all that we can know is our spiritual reality. All that exists is spiritual. He asserted that the Cosmos that we experience is part of a spiritual Matrix, just like in the popular movie. The Cosmos is an illusion created by God and fed to our spirits. In this case it is God, not the machines, that create and sustain the Matrix. Berkeley therefore asserted that we should only describe the contents of the spiritual Matrix and find the rules by which God operates it. Bishop Berkeley’s ideology is called “subjective idealism” and is similar to Plato’s idealism.

Einstein inherited a version of Berkeley’s subjective idealism, as interpreted by David Hume, Immanuel Kant, and Ernst Mach. He created his own version of this subjectivistic mathematical idealism. Einstein abandoned Cosmic-physical theory. He asserted that we should simply find the simplest rules that model and predict our experiences and measurements—the rules of the Matrix. That is why Relativity and Quantum Mechanics do not allow us to think about what exists and causes the “laws of Nature”.  Without any physical/causal explanation, the laws of Nature are just God-magic.

Relativity and Quantum Mechanics are Bishop Berkeley’s answer to the threat of natural philosophy. They are sustaining spiritualism, and thereby protecting religion and authority from the threat of philosophy.

You are certainly protesting louder than ever at this point: “Relativity and Quantum Mechanics have been proven to be true, over and over again! Theoretical physics is just good Science!” What has been proven is only that their mathematical models can be used to describe and predict our measurements. However, when they are used to try to explain physical phenomena, they produce paradoxes, contradictions and absurdities. Scientists don’t understand that these models were not invented to explain the Cosmos. So when they try to use them for that purpose the result is nonsense (observer-created reality, time travel, parallel universes, wave-particle duality, holographic reality, wormholes, singularities, etc.).

Without a theory of what the Cosmos is made of and what causes all physical phenomena, we cannot understand the Cosmos—its nature or its hierarchical evolution of complexity. We cannot replace the God-Spirit-Magic theory of reality. We are trapped, stuck with spiritualistic physics, as Bishop Berkeley intended. It gets worse. Modern physics is the model by which modern Science operates. Modern Science is Berkeley’s Science. Science restricts our minds to counting and measuring things and finding statistical correlations. Science can only talk of associations, not of causes. Science prevents us from forming theories about the nature and causes of things—which required philosophical cognition. Science is Stupidity.

Science was created to coexist with religion and authority, and it has done so for hundreds of years. All academic specialties try to imitate Einstein’s physics, to become “hard sciences”. This anti-philosophical ideology is gradually dumbing-down academia and therefore our society. Berkeley’s subjectivistic, descriptionistic Science denigrates and suppresses philosophical cognition; it makes humans afraid to use their theoretic intelligence. Compulsory public schooling prevents children from developing their philosophical abilities. Therefore, in all fields, the “experts” are incompetent because their minds deformed by schooling and inhibited by Science. They do not know how to understand the Cosmos. They do not have philosophical competence. They have accepted the old ideas that they inherited in their academic training and are incompetent to question or replace them.

The Requirement for Philosophy

So what is the solution? How do we claim our philosophical birthright? It is simple—we must choose to THINK. We reject all old, false beliefs and create a working theory of the Cosmos and ourselves. We must produce a shared understanding of the Cosmos--something that is like a religion but without the dogmatism and error. This working theory must not only fit but explain the facts of our experience. It must be flexible; it must grow and change with the advance of knowledge.

We already have a name for this intelligent, non-dogmatic, rational “religion”. Since its invention by Ionian Greeks in the 6th century BC it has been called "philosophy".

Philosophy is the most powerful use of our linguistic cognition. It is the full, uninhibited use of our intuition combined with the disciplined use of our language-based intelligence. Philosophy, not Science, is our effort to criticize and create theories of the nature and causes of all Cosmic phenomena. Philosophy is how we use our linguistic intelligence to reach beyond our consciousnesses, beyond our sensations and measurements, and explain what exists and causes our experiences. Philosophy is our only path to the truth; our only tool for integrating the facts of experience and for understanding the Cosmos and ourselves. 

Consider that the first rule of philosophy is non-contradiction because the Cosmos is a coherent, interacting whole. There is nothing incoherent in it; nothing like a contradiction. Our linguistic representations must mirror the Cosmos. Our linguistic representation of the Cosmos must be evolutionary, hierarchically organized, etc. Logic and mathematics are tools of philosophy. All sciences are, and must remain, branches of philosophy. Philosophy is what most people think/hope that Science is.

You would think that mankind would revel in an open-ended, rational, ever-improving, non-sectarian search for understanding. However, such has not been the case. In fact, philosophy has always been suppressed, reviled, belittled, and ignored; from the Byzantine emperor Justinian’s closure of Plato’s and Aristotle’s schools in Athens to the Catholic church’s condemnations of Aristotle’s ideas, to Bishop Berkeley’s attack on Newton, and Berkeley’s triumph via Albert Einstein’s Science. Also, our entire governmental-banking-corporate-media-academic authoritarian establishment is aggressively anti-philosophical, because philosophy is the only real threat to its existence, to business as usual.

The current system cannot withstand intelligent criticism and so must suppress our ability to think. It does so through the government-mandated schooling of children and by suppressing philosophy and endorsing merely-descriptive Science. Science is not threat, either to religion or to governments. The current compromise is: Science gives us the “what”; religion gives us the “why”. Both belief systems are false: Both must be replaced by philosophy.

The price we have paid for exchanging philosophy for stupid Science is enormous. The Renaissance of Greek philosophical brilliance has once again faded. The cultural revolution of the 1960s and 70s was aborted. Religion, government, banks and corporations are again firmly in power. Our minds are constricted, our lives distorted, our art degraded, and our work unsatisfying. We are trapped in a High-Tech Dark Age. Western civilization is in a rapid decline and everyone knows it. Having no alternative, people are forced to accept this lousy life, and pass on their slavish ideas and slave-lives to their children, ruining them too. It is time for the long-overdue awakening of human consciousness. It is time for us to fulfill our Cosmic destiny, to become fully human.

Philosophy is our Future

The outlines of a new philosophical physics and Cosmology are clear. As soon as one gets beyond observer-based Relativity and Quantum Mechanics, as soon as one begins to think about the most fundamental aspects of this Cosmos, one is immediately struck by the fact that space is not mere emptiness. To explain gravity, inertia, electromagnetism, etc. requires the hypothesis that space is something real, a substance. Space is the ground of all being. Space spontaneously self-organizes itself into subatomic particles, which can combine to form atoms, then molecules, life, consciousness, and linguistic consciousness.

Space is what resists matter’s acceleration. Space is also the electromagnetic medium in which light is a wave that propagates at c. Space theory also allows us to understand Einstein’s singular achievement: his realization that inertial acceleration and gravitational acceleration are the same thing (the principle of equivalence of gravitational and inertial acceleration). This insight directly implies that inertial-electromagnetic space is flowing into the Earth. It is no coincidence that modern physics was based upon the space (ether) taboo. It originated in Bishop Berkeley’s attack on Newton’s “absolute space”. The taboo has so far prevented academics from theorizing about Cosmic space. Space theory chases the God-of-the-gaps out of his last hiding place.

Space, not an imaginary spirit-God, is the source of all being. Space is everywhere. Space creates and sustains all things. Clearly space, this Cosmos, somehow “strives” to produce greater complexity and to become self-aware and self-directing. We are space become self-conscious here on Earth. We are Cosmos. When we laugh, the Cosmos is laughing through us. When we think, we are the Cosmos thinking. If any beings are to be called “gods” it is us. We are the most advanced, most powerful beings in our small corner of the Milky Way. Given the immense number of stars in our galaxy, and galaxies in the Cosmos, there are no doubt millions of other linguistic or otherwise self-conscious species.

Space theory provides a rational foundation our actions and societies. It provides the missing foundation for a naturalistic human ethics. We have a goal—to live up to our evolutionary potential. We must seek to aid the evolution and perfection of the Cosmos by improving ourselves. We must add to the intelligence, self-knowledge and self-direction of the Cosmos. We must stop being stupid—believing in old myths and failing to live up to our potential as a species. We must dedicate ourselves to improving life on Earth.

All of this depends upon producing humans that can think and that have healthy self-love and love of others. We must stop coercing children. Our job as parents is to support the child’s natural development, not distort it with our false beliefs. We must stop schooling children. We must stop destroying their natural intellectual and psychological development. Only then can we create healthier-minded generations who are self-regulating and self-learning. They will understand this world much better than us brain-washed adults. We must allow children to become what they are best suited to become. We must allow of them to become philosophers to one extent or another—masters of ideas. We must let them seek to understand the Cosmos and live in harmony with it, and with each other.

We must abolish violence in all its forms, including all authoritarian systems, regulations, and institutions. We must carefully deconstruct our authoritarian systems and build a new world-wide society based upon mutual respect, concern and cooperation. Only then will we begin to obtain peace and prosperity.

We must stop wasting resources and stop polluting and destroying Earth—the source of our life. We can and must turn life on this planet into a celebration of existence and true diversity. With a working theoretical physics we will be able to develop clean and powerful technologies that will allow us to preserve our Earth and to travel among the stars. We can hope one day to contact other species in the Cosmos that have attained this or higher levels of intellectual and technological evolution. What comes after that? Who knows!

Philosophy is what we think Science should be; it is what we are taught that Science is.

Science and mathematics can only improve technologies and precision; they are worthless when it comes to ideas.

Philosophy is the natural religion of all mankind—our only hope for a peaceful and prosperous future together on Earth and among the stars.

 

On Philosophy, Science, and the Cosmos

1.     On the Philosophical Inadequacy of Modern Physics and the Need for a Theory of Space – My most recent publication in Cosmos and History. It is a the most complete presentation of the philosophical problem with Relativity, Quantum Mechanics, and Science in general, and an outline of a new Cosmology based upon space theory.

2.     Hierarchical Cosmism – My first writing project that started me on my philosophical journey. I simply started to describe how Cosmic processes have been and continue to be organized in new ways, creating new levels of complexity. The result is a powerful tool for organizing our understanding. It is an unfinished outline of all current and potential knowledge! I fistt thought that everything must be based upon Relativity's mass-energy and space-time (MEST). However reading Einstein's works made me realize that MEST was just composed of measurements, made by the observer, with his rods, clocks and other instruments. I realized then that I needed a physical theory of space. The major levels of Cosmic evolution are: Spatial, Astrophysicochemical, Biological, Neuropsychological (animals), Linguomythic (ancient, pre-philosophical human), and Consciophilosophical (our potential).

3.     Philosophy over Science – An exposé of the origins and intellectual inadequacy of our "Science" which accepts contradictions in its ideas and doesn't form coherent theories of the causes of things. Science is anti-philosophy.

4.     From It to Bit: From the Observer’s Information to Space Theory – Brief essay summarizing the problem with physics and how to fix it 

5.     Beyond Consciousness to Cosmos: Beyond Relativity and Quantum Theory to Cosmic Theory (printed)Text versionThe first paper that I published. An exposé of the philosophical errors made by Einstein, and an argument for going beyond Relativity to a physical theory of the Cosmos. (Copyright Physics Essays Publication (PEP). Reproduced with permission of PEP) (Phys. Ess. 2002, 15, pp. 113-128)

6.     Beyond Newton and Einstein to Flowing SpaceThe facts of physics require that space be a substance. It is the ground of all being. A detailed presentation of a new theory of space and motion that fits the facts. This simple model explains why Relativity’s equations work. (Copyright Physics Essays Publication (PEP). Reproduced with permission of PEP) (Phys. Ess. 2012, 25, pp. 500-509)

7.     A QED-Based Wave Theory of Light, Electrons, and their Quantized Interactions – Edited version of “A QED-compatible Wave Theory of Light, Electrons, and their Interactions”, published in The Nature of Light: What are Photons IV, Proceedings of SPIE, vol. 8121, 2011, p. 81210X-1. Feynman’s approach to QED is discussed. I show how it requires a wave-theory of light. The evidence contradicts the idea that light is composed of particles. It is the false photon theory of light that leads to the quantum paradoxes and all the other quantum “spookiness”.

8.     Implications of Flowing Space – Unpublished. An exploration of the new physics implied by the Flowing Space theory of gravity

9.     Etherism, Atomism, and the God Myth – Deals with the philosophical question of the nature of reality: whether the Cosmos is the product of four forces and four particles acting in a void as is currently taught in universities, or the product of motions in and of the substance that fills all "empty space" and which produces all fundamental physical phenomena. Etherism has a much greater explanatory power than the God theory and the atomistic theory.

On Human Life and Society

1.     On the Movie, The Matrix – and its relevance to these pages. We too live in a Matrix of false ideas and delusions that distort our thinking, our lives, and our societies and which effectively enslaves us all.

2.     Our High-Tech Dark Age – We are not an enlightened society, far from it. Western society is run by a banking-corporate elite who view the rest of us as beasts who must be controlled. Governments are their servants; schools their training camps; loans their slave-contracts.

3.     The Old Testament (Jewish Torah) is the Root of All Evil – Have you ever actually read the Old Testament or thought seriously about its ideas? You should. You will see that the foundation of Judaism, Christianity and Islam is evil; the negation of every value that we profess to hold. We thus live with contradiction and remain confused.

4.     The Ninth Crusade – An historical and moral analysis of the ongoing Zionist Ninth Crusade mounted by European/American Jews and Christians to control Palestine, the Middle East, and the World. Their delusional religion drives them to do it.

5.     Children and Childrearing -- We must grant children all the rights of any adult, in addition to meeting their need for protection, aid, and love. We must stop institutionalizing and infantilizing them.

6.     On Schooling (coerced learning) vs. Unschooling (self-motivated learning) -- we must separate school and state and integrate children into our society. The Thirteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution outlaws involuntary servitude, except for crimes committed. Truancy law forces every child into school where he is punished if he does not follow orders. What crimes have children committed?

7.     The Modern Parenting Dilemma -- We are pouring new wine into old bottles.

8.     Consensualism over Coercionism – Two incompatible moralities—only one is fit for human beings.

9.     The Problem with Capitalism – It is not freedom, but just another form of enslavement of the masses based upon fractional reserve banking and many other governmental distortions of natural human cooperation and fairness.

10. On the Illegitimacy of Corporations – They are not free market phenomena; they are not private. They are profit-making machines created by the government—by specific abrogations of personal rights and responsibilities.

11. The Debt/Tax Slave System and its Alternative – Yes, we are slaves

12. On Ted Kaczynski and the delusions of modern psychiatry – our psychiatry merely diagnoses and drugs people, per the pharmaceutical corporation model. A valid psychiatry would find the causes of our mental ills in childhood trauma, neglect, abuse, and infections.

13. Against Spiritualism, Genetic Determinism, and Racism – a simple theory of the mind and its disorders

14. So You Want to be a Philosopher? – A how-to essay. Hint: It has nothing to do with any degrees or courses offered in any school. The purpose of schooling is to prevent you from being a philosopher or creator.

 

Consider That:

We are all one species living on one planet. If we allow anyone person or group to commit violence against any other person or group, we are destroying the moral basis of our peaceful coexistence and we put everyone at risk. We must condemn the initiation and maintenance of violence everywhere at all times, including the covert forms of violence like schooling, debt slavery, and taxation. We must employ every means available to stop perpetrators of violence and coercion.

Humans are not born evil, they're born immature; just like puppies, kittens, and all other animals. We must satisfy their needs and support their self-motivated development. We must not coerce them but give them time to mature naturally. We should not force them into our perverted forms of thought and behavior.
