Hardcore liberals became disaffected by what they saw as the failures of the 1960’s. Under the influence of Marcuse and others they then undertook a 50 year march through every significant institution in the country. The government, universities, Hollywood, radio, newspapers, TV, Silicon Valley, the Fortune 500, everything. They won while the conservatives tried to be …
I’ve known that online advertising was a scam for years now. I haven’t bought any online advertising for OnlineGreatBooks.com in close to a year. I’m sad to say I was slow to act on what I believed to be true. Our membership enrollments continue to grow slowly and organically since we stopped buying ads, confirming …
I had to go into town for a nieces birthday this evening. It was nice to see everyone. It was nice to head home. We turned east on the state highway, headed for our place. East is AWAY from town. As we drove away from town and topped the highpoint on our stretch of the …
What I really think is that the founders are basically meat-headed mediocrities who like Aristophanes for the fart jokes and the Iliad because it’s violent. Joe Rogan-wannabes who like to pretend play professor for the ego boost and the money. You can listen to the podcast to see if you agree. It’s basically two weightlifters …

I hate your denomination. Remember, I hate institutions. Your denomination is an institution. It sucks. I had a friend mention to me that in 2017 when he asked me about some religious question I replied, “I don’t care about that s**t.” It’s 100% true.
