I remember over forty-five years ago sitting in a college class. I can’t recall for sure, but I think it was the Introduction to Management Theory, but it could have been an Introduction to Psychology. Anyways, I was introduced to Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. At the time, I recall it being hammered into us that…

A few months back, I watched the YouTube video by TIK History Did Darwin cause Hitler? where the book From a “Race of Maters” to the “Master Race”, by A.E. Saaman is reviewed. The book, and the review takes a look at the history of Eugenics. The video points out some of Saaman’s mistakes as…

Which translates as “Sword Saint.” He had his first duel at the age of thirteen, a duel to the death which he easily won. He fought over sixty duels in his lifetime, over half…

What is faith? To the non-religious it is the complete abandonment of logic, reason, evidence, and science. In short, it is blind and unthinking. Let’s consider the field of physics. In classical times the universe was seen as split into two realms, the terrestrial and the celestial. In Aristotelian physics, the observations of these two…

I watched a Youtube video by The Living Philosophy titled Nihilism vs Existentialism vs Absurdism – Explained and Compared. I found it interesting since it explained so much. I knew Nihilism had taken a strong hold on our postmodern society, but this made me realize just how much of those other two philosophies also infected…
