Anti-Trump Hysteria is Just a Cover For Class Hatred
The American ruling class and the rest of America inhabit two different worlds, both ideologically and culturally. The ruling class - which includes the media, the deep state, academia and nearly all politicians, especially Democrats - hate Trump simply because he represents and symbolizes the ruled that have been chafing under the yoke of the ruling class and have grown tired of their invincible and all-embracing vanity. This is why the attacks on Trump have been both so vehement and so unreasonable. With the diametrically opposed views of the world presented by pro-Trump media like InfoWars and anti-Trump media like CNN, something will have to give. A people with such widely diverging views on reality cannot coexist as a nation. Politics will go on to become more war-like and vicious. The long-term result of all of this tension can only be either secession or civil war.

'SUBM
submission-by-michel-houellebecq-a
A review of Michel Houellebecq's mordant, dark and brilliant novel on the decadence and metaphysical boredom sweeping through France, which gets pushed aside when an Islamic political party comes to power. There is so much to say on this novel and a further, extended review and analysis will be coming in the future. It covers so much - the nature of love, boredom, narcissism, alienation, the relations between man and woman and between man and God, the aridity and self-satisfied emptiness of contemporary liberal cultural, careerism, academic cowardice and what happens when a society simply loses the will to preserve itself and is swept aside. This should be enough to give you a taste of what this important work of art is all about, though.

LAWS
laws-of-nature-natural-kinds-economic
Laws of nature are a crucial part of science - but what are they? The notion of a law of nature seems a difficult one to define precisely, which is a problem, given its apparently great importance. In this video, I will attempt to explain what a law of nature is, discuss some of the theories that attempt to account for their presence and features, point out some difficulties with these proposed theories, and then explain what I think is the correct way to see laws of nature - to see them not as external forces which impose themselves on objects in nature which themselves are inert and causally powerless, but as resultants of the complex combinations of dispositional properties which are inherent in and intrinsic to the objects in nature. Once we see the need or organizing objects hierarchically into natural kinds, the structure of the laws of nature becomes clear.
I then apply this metaphysical background to the area of economics and its particular proposed laws, and show - pausing for a short excursion into the philosophy of personal identity - that so long as one believes that there are any laws of economics at all, one must accept the principle of methodological individualism as the bedrock principle of a correct approach to economics. All talk of categorizing men into races, ethnicities or other biological categories must be rejected - for the purposes of economic analysis, anyway - and man must be look at simply as individual man, as he is in his essence. If we do not do this, we must conclude that there are no laws governing economic phenomena at all - that that claim dangles the possibility (really, the likelihood) of totalitarianism in front of us.
(A warning to my subscribers: As mentioned in the very beginning of the video, this is the second attempt at recording an uploading this video. The original version that I uploaded was just not up to par, so it is gone now. I thank you all for your patience.)

WHY L
why-libertarians-will-never-stop-arguing
Libertarians will never stop arguing about immigration because a vagueness problem lies at the very heart of their interminable arguments about what the proper immigration policy is, given the existence of a state. Which policy will result in greater or lesser rights violations overall is unclear, and since both policies violate some rights, we have no choice but to resort to utilitarian bean-counting to resolve the problem - hence, unavoidable vagueness. Without solving the broader metaphysical issue of vagueness (which doesn't seem likely), these debates between libertarians will never end.

THE C
the-coming-fracture
This is an expanded talk on something that I mentioned in my last video. There is increasing fracturing and division everywhere in American society, fracturing in all sorts of respects - political, racial, educational, ideological, cultural, philosophical. This trend shows no signs of abating. Attempt to stem the tide will likely fail.
This fracturing, although we see it especially starkly now, has deep origins. On one side of this fracture, we have the SJW and his ilk. The SJW is the apotheosis of modernity because he represents the culmination of all of modern thought's attempts to deify and give pride of place to the will. Like the radical Protestants, the SJW is an incorrigible moral fanatic, insistent that he, and he alone, has a pipeline to the truth and utterly and unshakably convinced of the ultimate virtue of his cause. His particular brand of self-assured snobbery and disdain for those with the temerity to disagree with him has a long history in American culture. It was born out of the Yankee strain of New England Puritanism and has been an indelible fixture of American culture and life from the very beginning. This is doubly true regarding American intellectual life.
Like the German Romantics and idealists, the SJW insists on giving his will and subjective emotions unlimited freedom to assert themselves upon reality. If reality does not agree to this, it is reality and its limitations that are to blame. Like the Postmodernism that has its roots in idealism, he does not really believe in an objectively ascertainable truth or reality independent of subjective experience, and so, when pushed, will dismiss rational arguments against his views as simply rationalizations for his oppression, or for the oppression of certain designated marginalized groups. To the SJW, there is no truth; there is only will to power. There is no rational argumentation or discourse; there is only politics.
Like the Russian nihilists (and the German Romantics to whom they are indebted), the SJW is a distructionist. He believes that he must utterly smash and upend the existing order because of the (allegedly) unjust restrictions that it imposes upon the wills of others. Out of the flames of this revolutionary destruction, there will emerge a glorious and and free utopia. This belief that something wonderful is bound to replace the old order if only the old order is destroyed is held with a naive but fanatical faith, and explains why those on the far left are generally not keen on presenting specifics for how their proposed utopias will function.
There can be no reasoning with such a person, as there can be no reasoning with anyone who rejects the power of reason to settle things and (at least eventually) arrive at or approximate truth. Such a person sees his enemie

THE R
the-roots-of-christian-zionism-in-2
This is part 2 of my series on Christian Zionism in America. It assumes that you have already watched part 1. It seeks to answer why there is such a massive, passionate, politically active and mobilized contingent of fanatical Zionist Evangelical Christians in the United States, and to trace the intellectual and religious tradition of Judeo-centric prophecy interpretation that led to the emergence of this group. But it also seeks to explain the broader question of why America is so pro-Israel today. In this video, I will explain how the Puritan settlers of the English colonies in New England began to typologically identify themselves with Jews and how they began to see themselves as also being, like they thought Jews were, God's chosen people. In the process, I will explain how this mindset did everything from produce the idea of American exceptionalism, to influence the American side of the Revolutionary War, to justify the eventual emergence of the American Empire, until it became embedded in the very fabric of American culture itself - even among non-religious people. Having identified themselves with the Jews, it was only natural that Americans would develop a very philo-Semitic culture that would identify its own imperial designs with the expansionist and conquering impulses of Zionism - all helped along by a heavy dose of politically active, fanatical, eschatologically-conscious left-wing Protestant Christianity. Then I explore how all of this merged with what later became Christian Fundamentalism, how the idea of political millenarianism continues to survive among the neo-conservatives, and how American culture, rather than having any actual similarities with Israeli culture, is instead just very pro-Jewish in and of itself.

THE R
the-roots-of-christian-zionism-in
Why does America support Israel? Why is there such a large, passionate, dedicated political contingent of Evangelical Christians in America that are so pro-Israel? The answer lies in the long tradition, going back to the Protestant Reformation, of Judeo-centric prophecy interpretation which viewed Jews as essential to the events thought by many English Protestants to occur around the time of the apocalypse. This is an extremely complex topic and it requires more than one video to completely explain and convey. This is part one. It explains the emergence of this tradition and moves on to its evolution in England. It ends right around the time of the English settlement of the United States, and so explains the intellectual and religious tradition that the first settlers of New England bring to them and how that goes on to shape what it means to be American. Part two will begin with the United States.
