In this series we have been talking about the way in which a liberally educated person in the modern West, will automatically, because of their secular education, view certain beliefs as scientific, and others as non-scientific, certain others as biased, while others are seen as neutral. Because of the nature of their college education (which was really an indoctrination) they have skewed view of what neutrality is, and they falsely view one side (the right) as biased, and the other (the left) as neutral. In this episode we look at two or three celebrities for whom this illusion is shattering. See? What have I been sayin since episode 51? The "Story" is FALSE.…
This was actually recorded before a couple of the most recent podcasts, at a point when I was considering doing uniquely YouTube videos too, of which this was to be one. But given the subject matter it makes sense to include it in this series on the Mind, and the GAP that exists between what we actually know about it versus what our pseudo-intellectual class says they know about it... a gap which hides the REAL gap, which is the gap between the human mind and EVERY other thing in the universe. Anyway, Part 10 coming very very soon. We're picking up steam again. Love you guys that listen. Thanks for letting me talk!…
I've been telling you that the whole effort is to change society's conception of itself, by changing the human person's conception of himself. They're not even trying to hide it anymore.
This is the second part of our "deep dive" regarding the impossibility of the mind being the brain. In the first part we saw that the supposed "mind/body problem" that "The Story" suggests was the reason for intellectuals leaving behind the religious picture of the world -- a world composed of both material and immaterial things -- turns out in fact to be NO problem at all once it is analyzed. In this part, we now see how NO materialistic theory of the mind, could ever work... ever. And we do so by looking closely at what happens when Charles Darwin, or something like him, falls down the stairs.…
You will not understand this new, current phase of the culture war, which is quickly becoming a civil war, unless you understand the role that "Naturalism" played for the Left in advancing their side of the culture war. Upon examination, every issue debated in the culture war(s) turns out to ultimately resolve into a debate about whether things have "natures" or not. It is the nature of a thing that determines what kind of thing a thing is, and thus what it is okay, and not okay, to do to it. What is the nature of human personhood? Does a fetus have that nature? (Or is it just a "clump of cells")? Does an elderly person with a terminal illness share that nature? If they do, then it is wrong to kill fetuses and elderly people, because it's wrong to kill human persons. The debate about abortion and euthanasia is a debate about the "nature" of personhood. Likewise the debate about gay marriage is a debate about the "nature" or marriage. Likewise the debate about trans-sexualism is a debate about the "nature" or gender. Is it the same as biological sex, or something different? ALL of the culture war debates, the hot-button "moral" issues, are really, at bottom, "metaphysical" issues, because they are really debates about the NATURE of things, and whether such a nature exists. This is why the metaphysical position called Naturalism is so important to to the Left (though they rarely even acknowledge its existence). Because Naturalism makes NONSENSE of the notion of anything having a definite nature. Rather, under Naturalism, everything is fluid (think "gender-fluid"). And it is the fact that Naturalism does this to the notion of natures that makes it so useful to the Left. Because then, all that they have to do is treat Naturalism like it is Science (it's not, as the analogy of the Metal Detector has shown) and then accuse you of being anti-science when you oppose their (the Left's) moral/political agenda... which just happens to be to change the NATURE of society... by convincing everyone IN society that nothing really has a definite nature. And once you understand what Naturalism is, how it is different than Science, you can then understand what "Neuropolitics" is. And you HAVE to understand what Neuropolitics is, because the Left has now abandoned the debates of the culture war. They don't want to debate anymore. They have a new tactic. It is Neuropolitics. And it's about you, and why you think what you think, and why what you think doesn't matter one bit to what direction we should ultimately head socially and politically. Please listen.…
This is a first installment of a series called "Mind the Gap", in which we'll be looking more at the way the media's own ignorance of intellectual history and the current state of debate in the philosophy of science and mind gets leveraged to manipulate you. In this series we'll be looking extensively at a panel discussion about what has come to be called "Neuropolitics". But first, in this episode, we tackle the myth of "political polarization". This may at first seem off topic for a series about the human mind, but it is far from that, as you'll see.…
Lebron is in the news again, having won an 'award' for his 'work' against 'voter suppression'. For those aware of what happened last year, it is pretty clear that this is an effort to clean up a mess he had sorta made last fall, in comments he had made related to Daryl Morey's debacle with China. Since it is increasingly seeming like we are surrounded with Manchurian (literally) candidates/countrymen, it seemed like a good time to make some observations on how what has happened in Academia over the past half-century may explain has facilitated a Communist takeover of our country, via a Marxist takeover of our thinking.…
Everything yous see in the news right now about increasing COVID cases is meant to DISTRACT you from the fact that the CDC has now admitted that Trump was basically right over THREE MONTHS ago when he compared Coronavirus to the common flu. The science doesn't lie, because the numbers don't lie. But the Left now has to in order to keep the charade going.…
Self-made men do not easily acquiesce to demands that they acquiesce to philosophies that denigrate self-made men. Why is this so difficult to understand?
On March 14th, in podcast #36, we suggested that something was very odd about the way Tucker Carlson, and the vast majority of the news media, was discussing the Coronavirus mortality/fatality rate. Nearly two weeks later, two Standford scientists published an editorial in the Wall Street Journal saying the same thing. This is why you should listen to the 40oz Hemlock podcast. 'Nuff said.…
Have you noticed that we're being told two different things about the danger of Coronavirus? First, we're being told that the mortality rate is a sky-high 3, 4, maybe%. Then we're being told that it is likely that the virus is much more widespread than we've thought. But wait, if it's much more widespread, then that means that the morality rate is LOWER. How has no one picked up on this? Whatever, we have. And that's why you listen to this show. You heard it hear first.…
Now that we have expanded on Jack's story, and its philosophical implications, we are in a position to see how 'theory' of Radicalism really just boils down to the 'psychology' of Radicalism. The two sides of the coin converge. They are one and the same. This is really, really important. Don't miss it!…
We began this series by looking briefly at a young guy named Jack, and the transformation in his thinking about life, values, and the nature of reality; a transformation that began with a significant incident in his life... his father leaving him.
We are now in a position to see clearly what it is that Marxism adds to Communism. And once see it, we will begin to see EXACTLY why ANTIFA is proclaiming Civil War in the U.S.
To understand Marx, you simply have to understand Hegel. And to understand Hegel, all you need to do is listen to parts 1 thru 4 of this series! Woot! And once you understand Hegel, you'll understand Global Warming "Theory". Kind of. No seriously.
What happens when advocates of 'Science' admit to that, contrary to the popularly perpetuated perception, they are actually advancing pure dogma, rather than scientifically acquired knowledge?
Once we see how ideology masquerades as Science in the fictional example, we can then see how it does so in very real cases (like some we touched on in our very first series, "From Darwin to Donald Trump"!).
In order to understand what is behind ANTIFA we must understand what Radicalism is, from a theoretical standpoint. To do that, we have to analyze some language. No, trust me... this will be fun.
What is ANTIFA? And what is the underlying philosophy behind the movement? Moreover, how does a person come to accept the ideas behind this group and others like it? We're going to touch on the latter, psychological point first,
Show Summary: David Hume showed us that there is an infinite logical gap between the kinds of statements that scientific observation can justify (indicative statements) and the kind of statements that morality requires (normative statements).
