2008: Year of the Establishment

Posted on August 19, 2008 by D3 Support

The Bear is Back

Posted on August 16, 2008 by D3 Support

The Russian bear, as in the old Soviet Empire, is back. My question: Why is anyone surprised? Look at America from the point-of-view of a dictator, such as Putin. Putin may not be a sophisticated dictator, like Khrushchev or Stalin; … Continue reading →

For Yourself

Posted on August 15, 2008 by D3 Support

For motivation to take place, it has to be for yourself. It can either be: ‘I’m doing this exclusively for myself’ as, say, a novelist or an artist. Or, it can be: ‘I’m doing this for my boss but really … Continue reading →

Is America Finished?

Posted on August 13, 2008 by D3 Support

Don’t give up on America yet. America is destroying itself in certain ways. At the same time, the rest of the world is learning with increasing clarity that freedom is superior to socialism or fascism. Although America has drifted dramatically … Continue reading →

“Bad” Feelings?

Posted on August 12, 2008 by D3 Support

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A MORALLY BAD FEELING. Feelings are automatic and not something you deliberately choose to have. Morality only applies to things over which you have control. So, if you have a feeling, the most you … Continue reading →

“Overthinking”

Posted on August 11, 2008 by D3 Support

Overthinking means unproductive thinking. I don’t like the term “overthinking” because it implies, incorrectly, that a certain amount of thinking is the right amount (what amount? never specified) and to go above or below it is irrational. This is no … Continue reading →

Reason Trumps Fear

Posted on August 8, 2008 by D3 Support

Ultimately reason, facts and logic are more powerful than fear. The fear only seems powerful, but it isn’t, and once you start to ‘get’ this, it becomes easier. Fear is an indicator that you are in danger—not necessarily physical danger, … Continue reading →

Wasting Time

Posted on August 6, 2008 by D3 Support

The Blind Leading the Ignorant

Posted on August 5, 2008 by D3 Support

Dear Dr. Hurd: One thing you said specifically was “The next four years are going to be a time of enormous education for the American people.” Dr. Hurd, with all due respect–the American people didn’t learn under Andrew Jackson, they … Continue reading →

Smugness, Arrogance or Confidence?

Posted on August 4, 2008 by D3 Support

Self-esteem without critical thinking is nothing more than bravado, or arrogance. Barack Obama’s defenders claim that he’s “confident, not arrogant.” They’re correct that there’s such a distinction. They’re wrong that Obama is confident. He shows no indication of critical thinking. … Continue reading →
