This issue reminds me of how far we've come since I first read Ayn Rand’s Introduction to Objectivist Epistemology in 1973. She writes at the end of Chapter 5, Definitions,

“It is as it, philosophically, mankind is still in that stage of transition which characterizes a child in the process of learning to speak--a child who is using his conceptual faculty, but has not developed it sufficiently to be able to examine it self-consciously and discover that what he is using is reason.”

Whatever is driving the culture along the muddy bottom of wishing can make it so, it's a helluva long way from reason.

I'm eagerly awaiting your next long, well-reasoned essay on the Founding. Thanks for both -- we can not drop either context and expect to make it through alive.

Thanks again.✌️

J6 Jackals Circle Trump

"But the hyperbole, just like the Justice Department’s continued shameful comparisons between a four-hour disturbance on January 6 to lethal terror attacks such as 9/11, serves a greater purpose, one that the government is closer to achieving—the arrest and prosecution of Donald Trump.

And if anyone thinks it’s beyond the pale for this Justice Department to portray Trump as the American version of Osama bin Laden, think again."
