Broken civilizations get rebuilt at the local community level as families, businesses, churches and small civil governments begin to learn what those local institutions can be. That is happening right now in the US, primarily in rural counties.

It's Past Time to Criticize Critical Theory

"If conservative white Christians today are supposed to feel guilty, guilty, guilty over what their white ancestors did back in the day, then this means that objective morality does exist and Critical Theory is false. And that means we must seek out the true nature and extent of this objective morality, and conform ourselves to that. And because such a morality is an expression of the nature and character of God, as revealed in Scripture and embedded in the nature of things, it applies equally to whites, blacks and browns. It is just as bad for a black man to be full of rage as it is for a white man to be. It is just as bad for a white man to vote for Joe Biden as for a black man to do it.

And it is evil (not to mention incoherent) to propound an ethical system that blames one group of people for things their ancestors did three centuries ago while simultaneously exonerating another group of people for appalling things they are personally doing right this minute. And to really frost the tips of this bizarre hairdo, suppose you do this blaming and exonerating on the basis of holding up some color swatches you got from Sherwin Williams next to the two groups. But, oh well. That’s the kind of intellectual pudding you get when you derive your moral indignation cues from the Frankfurt School and the Sociology Department of Columbia University."

Combat: Disturbance Unto Survival

“No man in battle is really sane. The mindset of the soldier on the battlefield is a highly disturbed mind, and this is an epidemic of insanity which affects everybody there—and those not afflicted by it die very quickly.”

William Manchester, quoted in War: The New Edition by Gwynne Dyer

Lesson: Avoid kinetic warfare.

Psalm_119:165:  Great peace have those who love Your law, And nothing causes them to stumble.

Here lies the student essay—RIP, old friend—slain by OpenAI.

A college professor grades 95 student essays. Then writes this:

"Miraculously, in the last year, mistakes of spelling and grammar have mostly disappeared—poof!—revealing sparkling error-free prose, even from students who speak English as a second or third language. The writing is getting better.

"The ideas are getting worse.

"There’s a new genre of essay that other academics reading this will instantly recognize, a clumsy collaboration between students and Silicon Valley. I call it glittering sludge.

"At the same time, in a totally unrelated development, some students have adopted a bold academic strategy: citing books and articles that do not exist.

"(In one particularly amusing example, a student cited me in an essay, drawing from my book, Fluke. The only problem: the alleged author of the cited text in the bibliography was not listed as Brian Klaas, but one “Benjamin Fluke.” Right title, wrong author, wrong publisher, wrong year. Well played, ChatGPT).

Why Big Pharma is Freaking Out

Whoa, I can’t believe I didn’t see this before. Secretary Kennedy can singlehandedly remove liability protection for vaccines. Here’s how:

If Secretary Kennedy declares that there's no PREP Act public health emergency (there obviously isn’t) then Covid shots would no longer have liability protection. If he gets rid of the CDC’s childhood vaccine schedule, then no childhood shots have liability protection under the 1986 Act.

It's literally just two signatures, that are within his power as HHS Secretary, and this entire national nightmare goes away. He doesn't even have to ban any shots — just let the class action lawsuits do their work. It’s a two-foot putt. THAT'S why Pharma is freaking out.
