The Root of the Problem

Last night I dreamed of a wonderful number:
Even or odd, the constant is unknown.
Integrated twice to produce half a square,
Limits approaching all things, all ways;
Absolute it must be, and never negative,
Triggered in a sine so holy to double the prize
Omega, being found, defines an perfect… Read full post »

Restrictions of Love

When my hand with ring is filled,
And finger is bound in gold,
The life of another in me is sealed
Forever embracing a hold.

Not this do I want, I say unto thee,
For love can never be chastened.

The Myth of Competition

One idea that right Libertarians (pro-propertarians) often seem to propose is that competition is the mechanism by which an economic system, viz. a free market, operates most efficiently in maintaining stability. Here I shall set out to prove that this notion is false.

When the company was chartered, several items were critical… Read full post »

Capitalism and Feudalism

Most people will tell you that they think Feudalism was a horrible, oppressive system. On the flip side, Capitalism is viewed with the greatest admiration. There are many reasons for this, and none of them are too surprising.

First off, when the (classical) Liberal Revolutions were going on in Europe… Read full post »

Human Nature

Human Nature, what is it? Some have said that it is the tendency of humans to be of a "sinful" disposition. Others may claim that it is the constant desire for more of everything. To me, human nature is neither of those things.

Human nature cannot be properly observed. We live… Read full post »

The industrialized capitalist world is beginning to drown amidst its own prosperity. Though global warming may one day physically drown the populations of earth, a far more likely prospect is that the increasing usage of rapidly-depleting fossil fuel resources will create enough acid rain concentrati… Read full post »

Several years ago I wrote a little essay on some of the primal portions of human nature. Amongst them I decided that all animals have at least the need for nourishment, entertainment, sexual release, and security. However, I do not want to focus on all parts of my essay, just from… Read full post »

The Balancing Effect

I was having a deep, though somewhat confusing, conversation on the nature of love a few days ago. It was during that time that I realized what had been missing from the equations I had been trying to evaluate from arguments about human nature.

Most people will say we operate… Read full post »
