@bernardtjoy And run-on sentences? My submissions as a _pro se_ defense attorney involved run-on sentences almost a full typed page in length, since the stream of actions described in my documents is related with NO lapses or "intermissions" that might be implied by a FULL STOP "period."

Dear philosophers, There are two things I consider to be absolutely golden when I am reading philosophy and would like to see more of: 1) One-sentence definitions of terms. 2) One-sentence statements of the theses of other writers' works or ideas.

@bernardtjoy Precisely why WE work for the Romulans! - Rear Admiral Carla Satana, Royal Vulcan Space Marines

Trekkies can correct me, but it must be a very common opinion that one of the main ways Star Trek so cleverly solved the problem of portraying a utopian future, that being the inevitable sense of paralysis and stultification in such a morally excellent society, was by evincing an imperialistic ethos of discovery whereby barbarous worlds as foil could be encountered and placed under the microscope of the Federation's higher moral standards. Whether in Earth's past or in distant zones of the universe, the utopian society acts as universal critic but what interests me is that it is these other, lesser societies that are the only escape such a utopian science fiction can have from stalling under the weight of its own perfection.

@DavidDeutschOxf @BishopDewar One turns the other cheek in deference to a slap on the RIGHT CHEEK with the (dirty) LEFT HAND (used to clean the anus by tradition) when one of your BRETHERN is offended by your conduct. It's not a universal rule. Jesus urges it upon his friends as they enter a foreign city.

@BishopDewar The most successful religion ever is not defending itself against violence from the second-most successful. OK turning the other cheek is its doctrine (though that never stopped it before). And the most successful political culture ever (the West) has adopted suicidal pacifism.

As a Bishop, I cannot stay silent. I have today drafted and sent an open letter to His Majesty King Charles III, the text of which reads as follows: To: His Majesty, Charles III, King of the United Kingdom and the Realms, Supreme Governor of the Church of England, Bearer of the ancient title Defender of the Faith. Your Majesty, I write to you neither as a politician nor as a commentator, but as one of your loyal subjects who, as a bishop of Christ’s Church, cannot remain silent while the Christian foundations of this kingdom are steadily dismantled. Sir, there are moments in the life of a nation when silence becomes a form of betrayal. If I refused to speak to Your Majesty now, this would be such a moment. For more than a thousand years the Crown of this realm has stood in solemn covenant with the Christian faith. The laws of this land were shaped by it. The liberties of our people were nurtured by it. The conscience of our civilisation was formed by it. From the abbeys of medieval England to the parish churches of our villages, from the preaching of the Reformers to the missionary zeal that carried the Gospel to the ends of the earth, the Christian faith has not merely influenced Britain — it has defined her. Yet today that inheritance is being quietly but deliberately eroded. Across the institutions of this nation there is a growing hostility toward the faith that built them. Christian belief is mocked in the public square. Christian morality is dismissed as intolerance. Christian institutions are pressured to surrender doctrine in order to conform to the ideology of the age. Within the very Church that bears the name of England, voices have arisen that appear more eager to mirror the spirit of the age than to proclaim the eternal truth of the Gospel. Meanwhile, beyond the walls of our churches, powerful political movements openly speak of removing Christianity from its historic place within the life of this nation. What would once have been whispered is now proclaimed openly: that Britain must become a post-Christian state. It is in this context that I write to you, Your Majesty. For the British Crown does not stand apart from this crisis. The Sovereign of this realm bears a title that is not merely historic but sacred in its origin and meaning: Defender of the Faith. Those words are not decorative. They are a charge. They speak of a monarch whose duty is not merely to preside over the ceremonies of the Church, but to stand as a guardian of the Christian inheritance of the nation. Yet many among your subjects now ask, with increasing anxiety: “Who will defend that inheritance today?” They see a nation drifting from its foundations. And they ask whether the Crown will remain silent while that inheritance is dismantled. Your Majesty, may I be so bold as to observe that your coronation oath was not a poetic formality. It was a solemn vow made before Almighty God to maintain and preserve the Protestant Reformed Religion established by law. Those words bind the conscience of the sovereign. They remind the Crown that its authority is not merely constitutional but moral. The monarch is not merely a symbol of national continuity, but a custodian of the spiritual inheritance that shaped this realm. History records moments when kings and emperors were confronted by the Church and reminded that their authority was accountable before God. In the fourth century Ambrose of Milan stood before the Emperor Theodosius I and reminded him that even the ruler of an empire must bow before the moral law of Christ. That tradition of prophetic witness has never disappeared. Nor should it. For when rulers forget the foundations upon which their authority rests, the Church must speak — not with hostility, but with holy clarity. And so, I write to say this, Your Majesty: The Christian character of this nation is under profound and accelerating assault. If the Crown does not stand visibly and courageously in defence of that inheritance, history will record that the guardians of Britain’s institutions watched in silence as the foundations were removed. The issue before us is not nostalgia. It is civilisation. Remove Christianity from the story of Britain and you do not create a neutral society — you create a moral vacuum. And history teaches us that moral vacuums are never left empty for long. Your Majesty now stands at a crossroads that few monarchs in modern history have faced. For the erosion of Britain’s Christian inheritance will not ultimately be judged by speeches made in Parliament or debates in the press. It will be judged by whether those entrusted with the guardianship of our ancient institutions chose to defend them — or merely preside over their quiet surrender. You may preside over the quiet dissolution of Britain’s Christian identity. Or you may rise to the ancient responsibility entrusted to the Crown and speak with clarity about the faith that built this kingdom. The first path requires little courage. The second will require a great deal. But it is the path that history honours. Your Majesty’s subjects are not asking for religious coercion. They are asking for leadership. They are asking that the sovereign who bears the title Defender of the Faith remember what that title means. They are asking that the Crown hear the growing cry of anguish from Christians across this land who feel that the spiritual inheritance of their nation is being surrendered without resistance. And they are asking whether the Crown will stand with them. For the faith that shaped Britain is not merely a cultural ornament. It is the wellspring from which our laws, our liberties, and our moral imagination have flowed. If it is cast aside, the nation will discover — too late — that it has severed itself from the very roots that sustained it. Your Majesty, to many the Crown is a symbol of authority. But before God it is also a symbol of stewardship. And stewardship carries with it the duty to defend what has been entrusted. May Almighty God grant Your Majesty the wisdom to discern this hour, and the courage to fulfil the sacred duty entrusted to the Crown. Yours faithfully, Bishop Ceirion H.

We may arrive back at sanity when artists are artists, teachers are teachers, thinkers are thinkers, readers are readers, priests are priests, and not everyone is taken by this fever of ulterior motives which have something to do with a crushingly narrow idea of what is worldly.

When Hayek won the Nobel Prize in 1974, the Keynesian establishment expected a polite academic acceptance speech. Instead, they got a devastating intellectual beatdown that exposed decades of economic central planning as the emperor's new clothes.

English is the most physical of all languages. —Jorge Luis Borges

In 1848, Frédéric Bastiat watched Parisian workers smash shop windows during the February Revolution. The glaziers were thrilled — broken windows meant more business! Local newspapers praised the "economic stimulus" of destruction. But Bastiat saw what others missed: every franc spent fixing windows was a franc not spent on new shoes, books, or better tools. He called this the "broken window fallacy." The seen effect — busy glaziers and flowing money — masked the unseen cost of opportunities destroyed. Fast-forward to today's stimulus debates. Politicians still point to busy construction crews and flowing federal dollars as proof their spending "works." And they still ignore what Bastiat saw so clearly: the unseen businesses never started, the innovations never funded, the prosperity never created because capital flowed to political priorities instead of productive ones. The broken windows keep getting bigger. But the fallacy remains exactly the same.

My profession continues to feel no shame/guilt labelling people’s personalities 'pathological' & their reactions 'dysfunctional' - it even believes the move is medically justified. Let's be clear - its not. There's no biological evidence to condone these stigmatising ascriptions.

The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the convinced Communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction no longer exists. - Hannah Arendt

Carl Menger's 1871 "Principles of Economics" delivered a fatal blow to Marx's labor theory of value before Das Kapital was even finished. While Marx was busy concocting his exploitation fairy tales, Menger proved that value is subjective and determined by individual preferences, not some mystical "socially necessary labor time." The entire Marxist edifice crumbled before it was even built, but academics were too busy playing revolutionary to notice. The subjective theory of value doesn't just destroy socialism—it obliterates every government intervention based on "objective" value assessments. When bureaucrats set prices, allocate resources, or determine "fair wages," they're operating under the delusion that value exists independently of human choice. They're central planners cosplaying as economists. Every minimum wage law, rent control, and antitrust case stems from the fatal conceit that value can be measured objectively by political decree. Menger showed us 150 years ago that this is impossible, yet we still let politicians pretend they know better than voluntary market exchanges. The Austrian school didn't just win the intellectual debate—they ended it.
