Attack the System- Canaanite origins of Hebrew religion. 30th November 2023By Alexander Iulianus Post date July 17, 2023 It has been supposed by Christians that the variety of God’s names in the Old Testament—i.e., “El”, “Elyon”, and “Elohim”—is actually textual evidence for the Trinity. The issue with this explanation is that ‘El,’ ‘Elohim,’ and ‘Elyon’ are not uniquely […]Keith Preston

- Samizdata quote of the day – from anti-authoritarian to bootlicker 30th November 2023The sad thing is that the character of the Doctor used to represent a distinctively British kind of amateur anti-authoritarianism. He took on the might of the Daleks with the equivalent of a screwdriver and a well-worn scarf. Now he surrenders to the pronoun police without so much as a quibble. – Malcolm ClarkPerry de Havilland (Wiltshire)

- Systems indoctrinate, deprecate questioning and doubt, produce reactive citizens, and blame them(An extension of a few points I mentioned in this video concerning education.)

It’s good for other things, too.
I found a few drinks to be the best way to actually understand the philosophers that were assigned reading in my ‘Philosophy 101’ class.
This lead me to believe (and rightly so, I might add) that most of them drank regularly.

I never cease to be amazed at how clumpsy my feet become due to the after affects of vodka (in large consumptions)
