@AynRandInst @Rob_Abiera @elanjourno No it is not

Iran, the Soviets, and the Illusion of Evil’s Strength Is evil powerful? @elanjourno and Onkar Ghate discuss Ayn Rand’s view of evil as fundamentally impotent, and what it reveals about Soviet Russia, Iran, and the failures of American foreign policy.

Most people think of philosophy as an abstraction that doesn't touch the real world, but they're wrong. Most real world problems are philosophy problems, and most philosophy problems are "giving things the wrong names". For example, if you call feral drug addicts "homeless people", then you can't solve the problem. You can only buy more houses for feral drug addicts to destroy. In this case, we called the police and courts the "justice system". But they're not. They can't be the justice system. The function of a justice system would be to give everyone what they deserve. Now, I deserve a hundred million dollars, a private Caribbean island, and a foot massage from Lauren Bacall in her prime, but I don't see the "justice" system lifting a finger to correct any of this, do you? No, what we are supposed to have is a public safety system. The function of a public safety system is to keep the public and their property safe. If we understood that, we wouldn't care about what criminals deserve. We would care how likely they are to do it again. Or something worse. In a public safety system, retardation and mental illness are not migrating factors. They are the opposite. Because they mean that the criminal is more likely to pose a future threat. We all understand this. We all understand that the feral retard who stabs strangers on the train for being White and beautiful is a worse person than the man who murders his wife and her lover when he catches them in the act. Not because of some abstract calculus of moral agency, of who is disadvantaged and who isn't, but because one is certainly going to murder more people if he can, while the other is a lot less likely to. We've known for centuries, if not millennia, that it's the same small percentage of people doing all the robbing, raping, and murdering, over and over and over again. And we've known for centuries that if you physically remove them from society, that's 100% effective in stopping them from doing it again. The only hurdle is philosophical. Call it a "justice" system, and you have to argue endlessly about morality and redemption, and then some leftie thug-hugger weaponizes your own Christianity against you. Call it public safety, and you confine the argument to likelihood of reoffense. Then you are in the realm of statistics. Which you can compute. It all starts with naming things correctly, according to their actual nature.

Reality dating show idea: Liberal feminist women who want to "free Palestine" are sent to live with a Muslim man in the Middle East for 6 months.

@WarClandestine That is what led to most geopolitical issues we currently face

What if Russia and China didn’t want to deal with nations like Iran and Venezuela? The West have been trying to isolate Russia and China for decades, and gave them no choice but to deal with unsavory regimes. What if we offered them a seat at the table instead of being enemies?

🚨 HOLY SMOKES. Sec. Scott Bessent just said that because Iran BOMBED Gulf neighbors, those countries are suddenly opening up Iranian regime BANK accounts to Treasury So he can FREEZE their assets! Checkmate playing out. 🔥 "What may prove to be FATAL mistakes the Iranians made was bombing their [Gulf] NEIGHBORS." "Who are now willing to be much more transparent in terms of the funds, or do a deeper dive in investigating the funds that are held within their banking systems." "So, we have pushed out to them the request that we want to freeze more funds of the leadership of the IRGC and any members of Iranian leadership." "The other thing that we have done is we have told companies, we have told countries that if you are buying Iranian oil, that if Iranian money is sitting in your banks, we are now willing to apply secondary sanctions, which is a very stern measure." "The Iranians should know that this is going to be the FINANCIAL equivalent of what we saw in the KINETIC activities." Bessent is an economic ASSASSIN. 🇺🇸

@SchopenhauerNow Ayn Rand

One book changed everything for you. One philosopher broke your worldview open. Which one?

@LensScientific That is a good question that points to the contradiction with the view that the universe is expanding Contradictions cannot exist in reality. If you think you have reached one all you need to do is check your premises to see that at least one of them was wrong

If the Universe is Expanding, What is it Expanding Into?

@pmddomingos It’s missing everything related to civilization. top on list is individual rights and the philosophy that rationally validates it

Brazil could be a superpower, except it’s missing . . . what?

@IanJaeger29 As if

Europe has reportedly drawn up plans for a new NATO without the United States, per Daily Mail.

@TheAtlasSociety Accurate, fueled by irrationality

When power centralizes, individuals lose.

@PStoughton94807 @TheAtlasSociety If allowed to exist. But it is also an alternative path to have creativity in the culture causing freedom in politics, which obviously crushes tyranny

@TheAtlasSociety Tyranny crushes creativity.

Independence is the root of creation.

@TheAtlasSociety Critical point to be made. Well done

@OpeWoodWorks @TheAtlasSociety They don’t matter. Quote is for those who do and are good men

@TheAtlasSociety So many people will misunderstand this quote

@zriboua What are BRICS

The BRICS look now like a very distant dream.

@p_g99889 @IDFFarsi @ka_parisa_ That is somewhat offensive To the animals, who are just going about their daily biological lives

مردم عزیز ایران، ابراهیم ذوالفقاری برای ما بیشتر شبیه یک محصول هوش مصنوعی به نظر می‌رسد تا یک انسان واقعی. ‼️ اگر او را در مصاحبه یا در میدان دیده‌اید، به ما بگویید. ⁉️ اگر نه، به ما کمک کنید ثابت کنیم که او یک محصول هوش مصنوعی است. آیا عرزشی ها مجبورند شخصیت‌های خیالی بسازند تا با مردم صحبت کنند؟ و آیا این چه چیزی درباره اعتبار پیام‌هایشان می‌گوید؟

@IDFFarsi Please provide coordinates… ;)

@Rothmus Did you know Is US is a Constitutional Republic? You can look it up on the government’s website. It will state this

It’s not a democracy.
