The Danger of Socialism.

Some ideas refuse to die, even when it cost millions of lives. I am not just speaking of the death they imposed via violence but the death imposed via impoverishing the nation. It is startling that 40 percent of Generation X supports socialism. It has now come under the guise of "Social Justice".

First, it's important to discuss socialism before we apply it's implications to our current state. It's scary to think Bernie Sanders could have been president, and Alexandria Cortez won her office. The problem is that good intentions, does not necessarily mean good outcomes.

People have to understand that government is not a producer in the economy. It's services come at the cost of higher taxes, debt or inflation, or in some cases all three. You say, what's the problem with the government providing services for free. 

The thing is, nothing is free. Someone will have to pay the bill. I am sure a lot of us are not really comfortable for paying for peoples degrees that don't actually add value to society. A lot of people with degrees, work regular jobs that don't require degrees. We shouldn't all be forced to pay.

The government not being a producer, it is a deception that government spending is included in G.D.P. When consumer spending goes up, it means people are making money. Both the people to be able to afford the product, and the producer making enough to pay wages and earn a profit. However, government spending comes at a cost, most people would probably disagree with.

The problem of government is that it requires the mechanism of force and coercion to achieve its objectives. Whereas, it is more rational to be in favor or free trade and voluntary associations, as compared to inefficient government services with a tax forced upon everyone.

The problem with socialism, is the problem of incentives. Whereas the business man has to serve society in a benefitial manner for his business to stay afloat. The politician just had to compromise his morals for campaign funds, and it's astounding that people keep voting for these same parties and individuals, regardless.

The problem also, is that who regulates, the regulators? People secretly want to be ruled, it absolves them of the responsibility of accepting their point in life as a result of their own choices. So often it's blamed on a popular demographic, such as the right or any race that is succeeding. However, the goal is to increase the size of the pie, not forcefully get it from someone and distribute it, while keeping a share to yourselves. 

This is essentially what government does when it provides these so called services. They are not incentivized to serve but to protect the beuracracy that sustains them. Whereas a business man has to rely on voluntary exchange and actually producing goods that add value to society. That is why it is fallacious, to explain that the economy has expanded whereas it is merely more government spending in some aspects.

We can all see there are serious issues in our world. However, we have to accept that we cannot legislate our problems away. The problem is, the people have convinced themselves that their rules are a part of them since they voted for them. This couldn't be further from the truth, the further the power structure is, from a locality; the less accountabile to it's citizenry will be.

There is also the problem of human nature. By making things public, it doesn't mean that the people now own those things. This involves taking property from a person whose earned it, and then "nationalizing" it; meaning the state will be the primary benefitiaries. The problem is that these politicians don't care to "the people" this imaginary collective. 

Those industries fail ultimately, or put countries in ruin like Venezuela. They took oil away from responsible owners and made "public", eventually it's only the political elites that benefit from such maneuvers and the populace is left to scramble for scraps, in the name of rations.

As a matter of fact, the media is a machinery as to which the top authorities influence the people. By consistently promoting agendas consistently through these mediums. It would be a bad idea to make the news "public" like the socialist would like to do. The media is bad enough. Making things public merely means expanding government power.

The other aspect is that we live in such economic insecurity, that we perceive that we need something to land on, when life befalls us. However, making the government more responsibile for our lives, simply means making us more dependent on them to survive. 

The other thing is that even if good intentioned. These things arent free, it will come at a cost. It is blanketed under the term equality. I mean who doesn't want equality? However it is rarely asked what these socialists mean by equality.

You see, equality of outcomes is impossible to achieve. Even if you give beuracrats control of private companies in the name of "the people". People have inherent different capabilities, skills and interests. This variety is actually what makes society works.

What determines the value of work, is how in demand it is and how much it is perceived to increase the value of the prospective buyer. Demanding higher wages from jobs that don't produce much value or profit, will merely run them out of business, or it could be nationalized and stay afloat at the expense of the tax payer.

Just remember the bigger the state. The bigger the portion of your property or wealth, they will entitle themselves to. The states has to survive. If it means imposing quotas, setting up unreasonable laws and tax codes; all of those are done to generate revenue. 

Remember, the government isn't a producer in the economy; it's a consumer of your taxes or purchasing power. Thus the socialist idea of increasing the state to provide equality is ridiculous. You are merely empowering the political elites. 

Despite all the historical economic failures and death that have resulted; this collectivist ideology has re-emerged as people seek equality in pay; despite providing less value, or lacking skills or the education. This is just one, among other unreasonable demands.

People admire, yet simultaneously hold contempt for the rich. I am not in support of those who use scrupulous means and exploit others for their riches. Real businessmen provide more help, than phylanthrophists. The former creates jobs and creates independence of consumer choice, the other creates dependency, and temporarily alleviates a problem.

However, this is not surprising.This is a consequence of a culture that encourages self entitlement. The newer generation thinks they deserve things, just by  existing. However the reality is you have to earn what you own. It is not the government's job to provide, but to govern.The price of freedom is difference in prosperity.

My Italian Princess

The world was falling apart all around me,

It was a miracle that you found me,

Nothing seems like it used to be,

You make me feel so free,


Your affection soothes my soul,

Your adoration is my goal,

You are perfect for my soul,

Together till we grow old,


You are so soothing to my heart,

You are the muse of my art,

if you left me, that would hurt,

I never want us apart,


I love those sweet kisses,

I would love for you to be my missis,

It's none of their business,

I love my Italian princess.


The Language of Reality.




 If God spoke the universe into existence, then it follows that reality is a language of some sort. Perhaps we are made in the image of God because we can have an objective understanding of this language via human mechanisms.

If you truly think about it our senses, report information to the brain and then it is perceived in a certain manner. The brain does not interact directly with the environment, it is within the skull; yet it projects the reality we encounter, based on electrical information from our senses. So it relies on the senses, to relay information, which is perceived as reality.

If you think about it our senses, report to the brain and then it is interpreted in a certain way. The brain does not interact directly with the environment, it relies on information from the senses; that structured information is a language. A person who cannot see does not know the information that is color, or visual beauty; it is a language he cannot speak, so to speak. So our brain relies on the senses, to relay information to be perceived as a certain reality.

This is not similar to the new age belief, that you can manifest something just by wishing and hoping; unfortunately, the language of reality, dictates you have to earn things, and no one deserves anything they didn't earn. Expecting success without work is contrary to how the language of reality reads. Neither is it a claim to say that reality lacks any objectivity, and the lack of understanding of this language, leads people to believe whatever they do is right; which ends badly for it goes against the structured language of existence.

However, it is important to clarify that what is being portrayed is that the brain receives information; the world is composed of information, in fact, entire video game worlds are built on information. What is being portrayed is that the brain receives information, that is translated into feelings, thoughts, touch, smell, and whatever gives the brain information, and our brains give context to this information.

Reality could essentially be described as environmental content, given context with minds. Similarly to content and context, reality is the content, your mind contextualizes it and it gives you the reality you are perceiving. Information is perceived by the mind. If there were no living things, there would be no one to perceive reality or to observe.  God is the great mind, that spoke this existence through his powerful language. 

The human DNA itself is a form of language. It is a code that the body how to build itself. As far as language is concerned in biology, D.N.A. is the language of the physical structure of living beings. Physics is brilliant, for it explains the universe through mathematical principles. Physics is the language of the physical world. Many other fields express different aspects of the same language of reality.

By language, I mean structured information that conveys meaning. This by itself, invokes that meaning is inherent within the structure of the universe itself. We are made in the image of the author of life, it is fascinating we can understand the language of God, so to speak.

This does not mean we are all authors of different realities. However, perception matters for you to receive information from the environment and filter it through structures of belief and previous understanding. Therefore education is critical, cause we filter the world through the structures the information we know has created; these are perceptions. Therefore by gaining better information, one can act more according to the language of reality, and prosper. The closer we align to reality, the better off we are.

A good example would be computers. We perceive information about video games perhaps as an example. We perceive information of reality, through codes of bits of 0's and 1's on our computers. However, it is amazing the reality those binary codes have created. The very software that it rests upon is a code that gives us the perception of reality.  Virtual reality moves this process even further.

Similarly, reality is a code, and just like we use the computer; we work within the perimeters of software which is the code, and just like we use the computer; we work within the perimeters of software which is the code. Just like computers are based on a code, reality is based on a code, a language so to speak. A language we may not understand but still have to experience. Reality is an objective language that contains information from the senses to the brain.

Reality Is God's language. Whenever one ignores reality or goes against its principles, consequences follow.  However, a Christian such as I, believe Christ is the "word'. God the Son became flesh, and "the word" became flesh. God the Son is a part of the Godhead, in Genesis God said, let us create man in our image. The universe was made through him; God spoke, the word, created the created the universe. Jesus is the word.

Therefore biblically the universe is spoken by God, our reality is a consequence of his language of creation. Reality is composed of information, be it the number of molecules or merely what we perceive through our senses. Unlike God we cannot write the codes of reality, they have already been established. Therefore just like gaming, you have to play within the perimeters of the software, reality is similar we must be prudent in dealing with the language of reality. 

Morality is a way to govern actions. The language of reality acts upon your senses, then based on the perception you act. Morality is a way to organize this information in a positive way that is not selfish. people without morality are just reacting to the language of reality, without dissecting the consequences that follow from violating this physical language.

Thus man has language, he can write or speak or other mechanisms. It is this language that was written with paper, that led to the innovations that we use today. We build from God's code of physical structures, then merely given a different context to fit our needs. Just like we have twenty-seven letters in the English language, there is grammar to the structure of the language.

Reality has its precedents, like 26 letters. One of its precedents is gravity, the laws of the universe, and its structure. All we can use is the 26 letters of language, to create thousands of words, plans, music, and literature. We are made in the image of God, but we must work within the perimeters of reality. Man cannot speak reality into existence, he can only work within its perimeters.

Just like we use language to convey what we feel, think, and act. In a way every living to survive, has to deal with information to survive, information on predator or prey. Some have even developed ways of communicating, some vocal, most not, but it is a language of some kind. Information is the standard of all living mechanisms.

Just like we use letters to convey language, reality is a language that exists already to convey information to our senses, that we eventually perceive as reality once organized in our minds. Reality is a premade language that already exists, and that we must work within. Pay attention to what people say, what your senses are telling you, what your mind is telling you etc the language of reality is always speaking. By simply paying attention, one gains insight. Thus to be blatant, wisdom is mastering the language of reality.

The Death of Morality

In the West we live in a moral Vacuum; Ever since the introduction of evolution, it caused a significant abandoning of Christianity as well as other faiths. Religion and philosophy, have been critical since towards ethics. It not only clarifies objectives, but it is the mechanism of deciphering what is right and wrong. Science does not offer morality. It is a mechanism in which we analyze evidence, statistics, and experiments and then deduce a hypothesis to explain the data. This does not tell us how to live, and neither does it tell us what is morally right and wrong. Western civilization rests on Christian morality as a foundation, once we abandoned this. The moral Vacuum was created. Moral Relativism thus emerged as a consequence, whose to say what is right or wrong, or whether your right is not my wrong, and your wrong your right. This is a very stupid argument. If we truly believed this, we would not have courts or prison systems. We have this institution because we believe in right and wrong, and punishment where it's necessary. Therefore the idea that right or wrong is merely personal, goes against the whole concept of justice. To argue right or wrong is merely an opinion, is to argue that justice is just an opinion. Eastern mysticism slowly came to fill the void. And this Western mysticism was born. Concepts repackaged such as "The secret". The idea that you manifest your reality, through your thoughts. Belief in astrology became prevalent, even though the stars have moved, and our astrology is based on stars that either no longer exist or no longer exist where they were projected to be. Hundreds of years ago. Astrology was born, from pseudo-astronomy. Whereas astronomy, delved into evidence and painstakingly sought out the truth about the mechanisms of the stars and galaxies. A pseudoscience emerged, of people attaching human personalities to stars. Where no such connection has ever been made. Yet in a moral Vacuum people would rather believe their fate is tied to the stars, than God. Extensively blaming their behavior on their horoscopes. One of the most appalling behaviors of lacking self-accountability. The stars do not determine your behavior, stop it. The stars do not determine your and your partner's compatibility, stop it. It only does when you believe this pseudoscience of astrology affects your actual understanding of reality. Media agendas also contribute to the decline of morality. Catering to certain demographics that may even be immoral to portray to kids, is marketed regardless to sell merchandise. The media and immoral music that sells, is also marketed indiscriminately. Whereas it affects the youth and is destroying
society. Whatever sells, supersedes what is ethical. Materialism also perpetuates the neglect of ethics. We replaced God with money, which essentially rules our lives as we let it. Humans idolize because we inherently are aware that there is a power that supersedes our own convictions. Many have let go of virtues, principles, and even families for money. Ironically those people are miserable, they have no sense of morality. Some are perpetuating divorce and exploiting workers in poorer countries. The nuclear family is under attack, coupled with the depopulation agenda. Government programs eliminated the man as the provider. I am African American myself, it astounds me that people don't know that the Democratic party was the party of slavery and the KKK. The new deal offered opportunities to the less disenfranchised, which essentially replaced the Father, who was to instill discipline. Children who were fatherless populate prisons, are involved in violent crime, and have the highest rate of juvenile delinquency. This is marketed to us as independence. The so-called I don't need a man mentality. I agree, you don't but don't deprive your kids of their father. Promiscuity is rampant and unconstrained. I suppose this is the sexual liberation we fought for. Thus most will be born out of wedlock and arbitions will become more profitable. Families with fathers, mothers, and children might become things of the past. The men are getting raped in divorce court, and marriage doesn't seem appealing. Especially to the men who are established, not just their wealth but by an accusation that will be taken as truth like Johny Depp lost his Pirates of the Caribbean franchise because of an accusation. Men since history have handed down ethics and principles. These are not intended to make you feel good, sometimes we sacrifice now for a better return. Unlike what most believe there is a right and a wrong. Living in a society that does not even acknowledge this, is resulting in lost children. Social media has also been a part of the conundrum. People are comparing their regular lives to people's highlights. What socially is right or wrong is whoever garners the crowd around them, truth is truth even in the majority of one. The truth is not a democraphy, it is merely reality.
