The DIM Hypothesis

I wanted to post about Dr. Leonard Peikoff’s latest book after my post on the 2008 financial crisis.  I thought it a perfect segue to the consequences of a lack of integration in dealing with the economy.  Politics and economics are a consequence of the ideas within a given culture.  Peikoff’s theory of DIM uses […]

It has been eleven years today since the terrorist attacks.  Every year around this time, I get more angry at the vague tributes from the media.  It’s important to remember that 3000 men, women, and children were murdered by Muslim terrorists.  These terrorists followed the irrational teachings of Islam.  They targeted New York City and […]

I realized my last post was very negative.  In light of the Supreme Court’s unwillingness to uphold our freedom, I’m very concerned about the future of our country.  So rather than leave things on a negative footing, I have linked an article celebrating our nation’s success.  Via Gus Van Horn, this article written by Objectivist […]

No one should be surprised by the Supreme Court decision upholding the dishonestly named Affordable Care Act.  Add this case to the long list of cases such as Dred Scott v Sanford and Plessy v Ferguson, as a negative turning point in American history.  The issue at hand was whether Congress had the authority, under the Commerce Clause […]

I just finished reading a disturbing book about the Ivy League of information I knew nothing about.  This is a story I suspect has been conveniently hidden from the American public.  During the 1930’s, at the start of Nazi regime, American universities actively supported the regime.  The book that exposes this shameful spectacle is called The Third […]

Richard Wright wrote a sequel to his seminal autobiography Black Boy.  Wright had intended American Hunger to be published in conjunction with Black Boy.  It was published separately in 1977.  I was introduced to Wright in my early teens, but American Hunger escaped my radar.  This was a painful book to read.  Wright was desperately […]

The Last Place On Earth by Roland Huntford gives us an inside look at the race to the South Pole.  Polar exploration is the product of the Industrial Revolution.  The excitement of exploring arctic regions was an incredible feat of ingenuity.  Huntford looks at two individuals who were racing to reach the South Pole, the last polar region to […]

September 11th is a day of dread.  I can’t believe it has been 10 years since that horrific day of barbarism.  I sometimes still can’t believe it happened.  I feel sadness for 3000 souls who were destroyed.  One day about a year ago I went on a website of Cantor Fitzgerald, the investment firm that […]

I just returned from a fabulous trip to D.C.  It has been about 30 years since I last visited.  The sites I visited were the Lincoln Memorial, which is magnificent in grandeur.  To me it embodied the man who saved the country.  I also went to the Library of Congress.  I took a tour of […]

Never underestimate the power of myth.  The presidency of Franklin Delano Roosevelt has made him into a God-like figure.  To this day, FDR has been deified because he supposedly saved the country from economic ruin during the Great Depression.  Nothing could be further from the truth.  Burton Folsom, Jr., New Deal Or Raw Deal? How […]
