Trans scandal hits Mercer County rough draft

According to the modest small townsfolk, the immoral decay and rot of the liberal big cities has finally reached where it doesn't belong: the rural areas on the outskirts. In my hometown, Mercer, PA a substitute teacher recently went viral for wearing a modest dress which went down to the knees. A student took a photo and posted it online. A torrent of outraged parents expressed consternation that the school administration would allow THAT around children. That might seem odd, and maybe even a breach of that teacher's privacy. Who likes to have candid photos snapped of themselves and posted online without one's knowledge? But that was not what people were upset over, and it didn't figure into their moral outrage. The plot thickens. So, what were they outraged about? The person in the photo taken by the student, it turns out has a shaved head, and a fading hairline. It turns out they are a trans woman (male to female), and this caused a huge outpouring of moral outrag...

Marx on some common anti-communist arguments

"Communism is quite incomprehensible to our saint because the communists do not oppose egoism to selflessness or selflessness to egoism, nor do they express this contradiction theoretically either in its sentimental or its high-flown ideological form; they rather demonstrate its material source, with which it disappears of itself. The communists do not preach morality at all, as Stirner does so extensively. They do not put to people the moral demand: love one another, do not be egoists, etc.; on the contrary, they are very well aware that egoism, just as much as selflessness, is in definite circumstances a necessary form of the self-assertion of individuals." -Marx, German Ideology “By taking away also property” (!) “the socialists do not take into account that its continuance is safeguarded by the peculiarities of human beings. Are only money and goods property, or is not every opinion also something that is mine, that belongs to me? Hence, every opinion must be abolished o...

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms and A Forgotten Prejudice of the 19th century

In the 19th and 20th century, the mainstream science, after the discovery of the fact of biological evolution, became obsessed with applying the concept of evolution to human social groups. Evolution conceived of as a ladder of development, to their minds, became a master key to understanding all of the social and biological differences between various groups: rich and poor, races, men and women, respectable and criminal, etc. Everywhere one looked, there was a hierarchy of differences: uneven economic development between nations; differences in literacy and educational attainment between classes, and on and on. The conventional prejudice of white scientists was this: there is a natural hierarchy, with white men at the top, and a gradation of inferiority below the top superior group. "Rank-order" was the guiding principle of how scientists set out to explain the tree of life: there are higher and lower forms. Nature is not egalitarian, but has advanced -- thus superior -- li...

Criticism of Bremen's "brain research": Brain determines mind - errors, function and consequences

Translation of Freerk Huisken, Uni Bremen Criticism of Bremen's "brain research": Brain determines mind - errors, function and consequences 1 1. The results of Bremen's "brain research" a. The Bremen brain research – associated with the name of the brain researcher Gerhard Roth – takes its starting point from experiences that people constantly encounter in everyday life. Good arguments fail to convince or are not understood; you can explain a matter to children countless times, they still don't grasp it; or they think they have grasped it, but are mistaken. Crystal-clear justifications are not accepted in certain social contexts, even though they are irrefutable; or they are accepted but not acted upon. And time and again, people justify their actions perfectly well, put them into practice, and then find that the desired change in their situation does not occur. All these facts, which revolve around the connection between insight, understanding, learning...
