Life, Death, and Immortality

When people say “we need to accept death”, I can’t help but think “NOW”, we just checked off the first step to immortality, and NOW we need to accept death. What if people said that about cholera in the water? “We just need to accept that there is cholera in the water”. Some people also say “the fear of death is irrational”. But if that's true than there is no rational fear, we judge the rationality of a fear based on how likely it is to ACTUALLY kill you. I think immortality is possible, and simply a design problem. We currently have the medical technology to keep someones body alive and functioning for an indefinite period of time. That is what I meant when I said we had checked off the first step to immortality, the next step being to make that tech more efficient and practical. A life support system fitted into Davros chair, and Science, Technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields will figure this out too. Despite what people say about death being inevitable. Med...

A Socialist Worth Remembering

                                                                              Robert Owen, a socialist worth remembering. He was born in 1771, and became a wealthy textile manager and investor. He was also the founder of Utopian socialism, the cooperative movement, and original advocate for the 8 hour work day. 8 hours work, 8 hours recreation, 8 hours rest, that saying, that one's his. He also advocated for free childhood education, and the outlawing of child labor. He was a form of determinist, and therefore believed people should not be praised nor blamed for anything, as whatever happened is a result of ...

Life, Death, and Abortion

I am pro-life, I have been for as long as I can remember. Though my opinions on abortion in particular have changed over the years, I still consider myself pro-life. The reason is simply that I prefer life to death in any situation. I have expressed this in past articles, but here and now I will fully address my positions on this topic. Please be aware this may get dark or disturbing in some parts or examples. Reader discretion is advised. I think abortion is murder. This, for many years was my one point of agreement with christian conservative types. I thought of abortion as murder and thought that was enough to support the banning of it. Though there are many forms of murder. Like bashing a babies head in with a brick, Form of murder, though different than abortion no one would disagree. It is more brutal, bloody and outlawing it would not overall increase death rates. I’ll explain. When people feel a need to get an abortion, the legality of it will not change that. So if it is ...

The Egalitarian Advantage; Rise of a class redutionist

                                       So the first part of this “The Egalitarian Advantage” is a rant, primarily against feminism. And although I stand by what I said (otherwise it wouldn’t be up anymore) the fact still remains that it was a rant. Not an expression of valid criticisms, which is what I will aim to do here. I will also clarify my positions, talk of other movements that I oppose for similar reasons. As well as express the true advantages of egalitarianism and class reductionism. Check out the first part ( https://conthestonerlin.blogspot.com/2018/12/the-egalitarian-advantage.html ) if you haven't or can’t remember it. Intersectionality, the much more accurate, or at least precise defining feature of fourth wave feminism. Now my problem with intersectionality is that it is an anal...

FASCISTS ARE REAL, and not what you think...

So the other day, I was watching videos about corporatism, you know, as one does. And I started watching a video that was explaining it correctly. And well I had a funny feeling. I know corporatism has association with fascism, they were getting it right, and NOBODY gets it right, I knew they were either fascists or anarchists. And I was really hoping for the latter. So I looked them up online, and they are fascists. No this isn't just the left calling everyone a fascist, I wish it was. I am not talking about Steven Crowder, Ben Shapiro, or Donald Trump. I am talking about actual Mussolini is a god, liberty sucks, tripartism is awesome fascists. And tripartism is pretty cool, so they got, well more than we’d like to admit. Fascism is fundamentally flawed, however misunderstood, and that’s putting it lightly. However we do a great disservice when we do not acknowledge the “attractive rhetoric” and why it’s so attractive. Things like unity, collectivism, corporatism and class colla...

The Problem With Capitalism

                                                   So capitalism, what is the problem with it? I mean really though? Well numerous things, but they all have their root in individualism. I mentioned this in a previous post, and I said I would explain more and “come for” neoliberals and capitalists. And that’s what I'm doing now. The reason that I discussed religion previously is that I view religion and capitalism to be the root of most world problems. But, of course, they have their root too. So whats wrong with individualism? Well, whats wrong with being a selfish ass hole, who doesn’t care about anyone's benefit but their own? Because that’s essentially what individualism is. It is a lifestyle philosophy based around living life only con...

The Problem With Religion

Religion, a metaphysical lifestyle philosophy. An inherently toxic belief system, that is for some reason given a pass. Religion as a broad concept, has had a prevailing influential role throughout history, and continues to today. It has also no doubt lead to horrible things, like wars and genocide, not to mention it’s significant promotion and enforcement of bigotry, in some way or another, throughout history and today. But underlining it all is the belief in the metaphysical, the belief in falsehoods. And how this is seen as “okay”. And how that is a major threat to the continuing progress of human society. That is what I will be discussing here. Pseudoscience, not always religious, but a religions best friend. Pseudoscience is science with a bias, science that assumes more than the validity of pragmatism, like the truth of religion. I would say that religion is one of the largest promoters of pseudoscience today. And that is likely largely because of the “pass” it is given. Res...
