I love capitalism for the iPhones, Hiltons, Boeings etc.  having lived with socialism I am a better expert than many lefties whom I would gladly throw the first tome of Das  Capital at aiming to hit their empty heads or self-righteous snouts Free market is the best invention humanity ever made. Too bad we never came up with something so excellent in political systems. Democracy seems logical at first glance but is so vulnerable to corruption by certain capitalists. On the other hand, capitalism and free markets can only exist if a functional state can guarantee property rights. What ..read more

  https://factsandtheoriessite.wordpress.com/ Just started a SEO course on Udemy and in the introduction they said: the Internet is about the world better helping to make, Google is about helping to make the Internet better, SEO is about helping to make Google better. I was inspired by that way to look at things – indeed our work, our interests – even if it is an attempt to make my website more popular is ultimately about making the world better. So, any effort – including the most mundane work for a living has a higher meaning – providing for myself is actually providing for the betterme ..read more

  https://factsandtheoriessite.wordpress.com/ People worry. Then people fear. Then people tend to act unreasonably. Unreasonable behavior is detrimental to people's wellbeing. It is normal. We have survived because we have avoided numerous dangers along the road. On the other hand paralyzing fear can prevent us from using valuable resources where they are most needed. Therefore it is most important to think before we act, doubt before we believe, analyze before we claim to understand. Following is a quote that impressed and saddened me at the same time. There are great minds that warn us ..read more

  https://factsandtheoriessite.wordpress.com/ It's the critical thinking people's support that counts. You can call it a blessing. The mindless pseudo faith of cultists too lazy to think for themselves comes not as an inspiration from above but is a work of confusion inflicted by the deceiver. It's a curse. The facilitation of people's intentions which are distilled from desire is the essence of civilization. My point is - there are good people and bad people. The good people are honest and smart. Honest and true first and foremost to themselves - they know what they want and smart bec ..read more

Western Europe's success in progress and innovation coincided with the rise of the reformation. The ideas that forged the modern world as we know it today may have to be rethought. Reformation wasn't about abandoning faith. It was about strengthening and purifying it. I believe that's what makes us stronger, better and happier. Ideas about what we personally and as a society want define the path that we are going to take and the end result is often grander than we envisaged. You may say God answers to our most cherished desires and fulfills them generously and sometimes with unexpected lavishn ..read more

 Human society is an issue of the mind. Social co-operation must first be conceived, then willed, then realized in action. It is ideas that make history, not the “material productive forces”, those nebulous and mystical schemata of the materialist conception of history. If we could overcome the idea of Socialism, if humanity could be brought to recognize the social necessity of private ownership of the means of production, then Socialism would have to leave the stage. That is the only thing that counts. Mises Logically the society that has the most profound and diverse knowledge will pr ..read more

Desires are like beacons on our path in life marking the direction towards our purpose. As any force of nature, they can be perilous and destructive or propel us towards our purpose in life if managed by a skillful captain. We are free to choose to guide the ship of our life towards exotic places or left without direction towards the only place our life will naturally go: the bottom, no matter how much we wallow in self-pity. To find out where we are and where we want to go we try to base our decisions on fact and proven theory. But life is much more complicated and on top of that personal so ..read more

If (as many believe) democracy is indeed in crisis and peoples desires and visions for the future are not acknowledged by government then we have to assume that it’s the corrupt elites interests and plans for the future that define official policy.’ If that is the case then are political failures (assuming a failure is something the people do not want or approve) the result of the corrupt elites’ stupidity or that was their plan and the fact that we, the people don’t like it is too bad for us. I guess elites – corrupt or not as clever as they are just people like the rest of us and it is under ..read more

  Good is whatever keeps me alive and happy Bad is whatever kills me or makes my life miserable. Good is impossible without freedom. Freedom includes freedom of choice. It may seem freedom includes the freedom to harm others but that is not true because harmed people will most certainly seek to harm you therefore restricting your freedom and hampering your quest for happiness and even jeopardizing your life expectancy… What is a false claim for ethical behavior? A claim that whatever is good for the majority must be imposed on the minority – it’s a recipe for fascism, communism – oppressi ..read more

  Mish Mash for busy minds There is no such thing as "society” just an useful invention of sociopaths to exploit the gullible. Society as something opposed to the individual is a travesty. The only useful use of the term is if it serves me. There is no such thing as “society” apart from the personal interests if its members and only in the sense those members understand them – not as some other people or group will try to impose on them. Any claims of primacy of the common good over personal interests betray either personal confusion and a repulsive “holler than you” self-righteous ignor ..read more
