    I know capitalism isn’t working for us, and I know communism has failed. Chinese capitalism is just a very aggressive form of socialism, and though it works, it works by virtue of a culture that demands compliance and accepts mediocrity for the majority of the population. One evening I decided to try my hand at…

  • On Western Culture

    It can be said that our weakest front has been the conservative side of things in the political spectrum. For Western culture is so nuanced and has a history so deep and complex that it is easy to lose sight of who we are if our backgrounds are indeed from Western civilization. From the philosophers…

    The economy is not an eternal and infallible means of arranging opportunity in society. It crashes, it favors certain groups, it often pigeonholes the majority of the population into a technological feudalist society. Right now so few people can afford housing outright in North America that the “middle class” can no longer reasonably have a…

    Delegation of responsibility is simply how our society allows for more people to do more things and increase the technological advantage of craft.

    Nations are loosely collected, if not rather diffuse, groupings of corporations that don’t necessarily have a common geopolitical objective. Corporations can be bought out quite easily in their interests, as can politicians, as can grassroots movements. The Chinese have grown quite adept at this practice—I know this, after all, I am a Canadian. Algorithms can…

  • On Unity

    The troubling issue I see is a matter of nations fostering peace, creating unity, and essentially merging into unions. I see the European Union, NATO, even the United Nations as different levels in attempting to achieve this goal. The challenge of achieving this globally is necessary, since only through unity and global trust can disarmament…
