I. Two Human Epistemologies

Rational – Speech pursues the Truth, the Whole Truth and Nothing but the Truth about the Natural World. Emotional – Speech is to make the communication pursuers FEEL COMFORTABLE.

II. In Yiddish, the non-rational types are colloquially called SCHMUCKS (too stupid to reason). There are two sub-categories of SCHMUCK as illustrated by an old Yiddish joke about a waiter and a customer in a restaurant.

The ‘schlemiel’ is the clumsy careless waiter who spills the soup…..

Today I read that Erdogan, the Tyrant of NATO Turkey, and the Pakistan government signed in Mecca a Joint Defense Pact with Saudi Arabia.

Three facts and a question:

Turkey is desperate for more bail-out money, having wasted billions that they were (foolishly) given by the UAE a short while ago. Pakistan and Saudi Arabia already have a decade-old ‘Joint Defense Agreement.’ Saudi Arabia has the 3rd largest Defense budget in the world – behind the US and China but…..

AKA:  Woke – DEI – McCarthyism

The new McCarthyism is everywhere the Hard-Left Islamic Alliance rules by direct control or intimidation over institutions such as:  Education, Higher Education, Legacy Media, Government Bureaucracies at all levels of Government, Entertainment Industry Institutions, the Democrat Party and RINO Republicans and wherever you find a lawyer who has not been disbarred for attempting to legally, through the Imperial Judiciary, dispute the 2020 Stolen Election.

Today’s latest example:  the North Carolina Miss USA, a stunning…..

Well before May 1948 when the British Mandate in West Palestine was to legally end (after the 1946 ending of the British Mandate in the three-quarters of  Palestine in the east, thereby changing the Emirate of Trans-Jordan into the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan), and free the Palestinians (that means the JEWS, you morons!) to declare the promised (in both the pre-mandate WWI Balfour Declaration and also the Hebrew Bible), to create a re-birth of (MODERN) Israel, the Grand Mufti of…..

Part I

Back in the Reagan years, when my adult political awareness began just before I turned 40, I meticulously studied the New York Times every day – cover to cover – even on holidays.  The Left-Wing and anti-Israel biases were unmistakable – but that is not the particular vignette.

Once a year there was a Gallup Poll AP report in a Sunday newspaper taking up space on a page that was 75-90% retail local advertising.  Every year, for as…..

A perfect combination of three factors:

Narcissism Cowardice (1+2) Remains perfectly hidden from all external (social) view – extremely personal to extremely impersonal; nobody who favors them can notice 1 and 2.

The power of the A$$hole to impose its will on others (as with a simple narcissist) requires a shield to cover up the two aforementioned motivations.  All such a$$holes, starting in infancy as mere narcissists, learn how to hide their true feelings as they are also…..

Friday, July 24, I note an article from Reuters that actually ‘takes sides’ against Iran.  It was ‘on the record’ multiply sourced and identified as such.

The substance was that, when the Houthi Racist Islamic Supremacist leadership flew home from the BIG funeral, they were accompanied by as many as one or two dozen senior IRG Racist Islamic Supremacist leaders.  There many also have been advanced offensive missile weaponry.

I have been assuming, rightly or wrongly, ocean-going ship transfers from…..

I.  Introduction

Initially this essay was intended to be very large and about the four most intelligent people I have ever known in my 81-years of life.  Three of them were young men that I knew from high school and beyond.  The fourth was a woman, Eleanor Uris, who was absolutely the most brilliant of all.  Those three former ‘friends’ will be the basis of a future essay about the way NYC American Public Education in the 1950s and early…..

I.  Francis Bacon (1561-1636)

Almost one-half a millennium ago, the philosopher Francis Bacon began the overthrow of sophistry-laden theoretical Platonic Idealism by referring to the eternal appeal of Plato’s dramatic dialogues as Philosophy’s Holy Gospel reclassifying them as ‘THEATER’ – as opposed to meaningful Substance.

Francis Bacon added the final requirement to Modern Scientific Methodology as TESTING reality to minimize the beguiling effect of Sophistry.  There would be no modern scientific inquiry or reliable modern science without him.
