@elonmusk @michaelshermer Leave the social engineering to others.

@michaelshermer Direct democracy by the people. Laws must be short, as there is trickery in length. Automatic expiration of rules to prevent death by bureaucracy. Any rule can be removed by 40% of people to overcome inertia. Freedom.

When you start the 1st Mars colony @elonmusk what documents would you recommend using to establish a governing system? U.S. Constitution/Bill of Rights? Universal Declaration of Human Rights? Humanist Manifesto? Atlas Shrugged? Against the State: An Anarcho-Capitalist Manifesto?

@SuzannaDWalters @RationalMale I read the screed. Truly a false and unintelligent piece/author. Could have guessed from her fake sociology "degree" she would appeal to wage gap propaganda for the low IQ. Poor, comfortable, upper-middle class white woman w nothing real about which to whine. Cry me a river.

@CNN Of course, the righteous liberals' primary concern here is PC wording. Thanks for putting your sensitive holiness on display.

BREAKING: Anthony Bourdain of CNN’s “Parts Unknown” is dead. The chef, storyteller and Emmy-winning host has committed suicide at age 61, CNN confirms cnn.it/2LAjFTx

@MattWalshBlog False dichotomy. People need to build virtues and communities that are not based on lies. The shakiness of life without the moorings rooted in superstition is not a call to retreat back into the dark, but for leaders to to live w creative self-discipline & to show us how to live.

Nothing will get better until we turn back to God. The world has been secularizing for the past 100 years, and untold carnage and suffering has been the result. There is no solution to any of this outside of a mass spiritual revival and a collective return to faith.

@AJA_Cortes Over a year ago.

@IllimitableMan Channelling my boy Aristotle.

"How did my soul rise again from these graves? Yeah, there is something invulnerable, unburiable in me, something that explodes boulders: it is called MY WILL. It has always broken through all graves!" (*Zarathustra* 2.11 "The Grave Song")

@NietzscheQuotes "Your cowardly devil in you, who likes to fold his hands and lay his hands in his lap and wants to have it easier -- this cowardly devil exhorts you: 'There is a God!'" (*Thus Spake Zarathustra* 3.8.2 "On Apostates")

"Of what is the child capable that even the lion is not? Why must the preying lion become a child? The child is innocence and forgetting, a new beginning, a game, a wheel rolling out of itself, a first movement, a sacred yes-saying." *Zarathustra* "On the Three Metamorphoses"

"In the loneliest desert the second metamorphosis occurs. Here the Spirit becomes a lion. It wants to hunt down its freedom and be master in its own desert. [...] The Spirit of the lion says 'I will.'" (Nietzsche, *Zarathustra 1.1 "On the Three Metamorphoses")

@masteryquotes "In the loneliest desert the second metamorphosis occurs. Here the Spirit becomes a lion. It wants to hunt down its freedom and be master in its own desert. [...] The Spirit of the lion says 'I will.'" (Nietzsche, *Zarathustra 1.1 "On the Three Metamorphoses")

Actively rebel against the forces that push you away from your true path.

@MichaelJosMoore @GovMikeHuckabee @JimCarrey @PressSec Jesus had high standards: "Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father who is in heaven is perfect." (St Matthew 5:48) This may be why Nietzsche says, "There really was only ever one Christian, and he died on the cross." (*The Anti-Christ* sec. 39)

Pathetic BULLY, sexist, hater, bigot & "Christaphobe" @jimcarrey attacks @PressSec for her faith; what would be hypocritical Hollywood reaction if he called someone a "so-called Muslim" or "so-called Jew?" #classlessCarrey twitter.com/foxandfriends/…

@Memes__Politics @jordanbpeterson Likewise

David Quinn on the feminisation of Christianity: j.mp/2FR5qqF

"Whoever wants to become light and a bird must love himself--thus I teach. Not, to be sure, with the love of the sick and addicted, because among them even self-love stinks! One must love oneself with a hale and a healthy love." (*Zarathustra* 3.11.2 "On The Spirit of Gravity")

@jordanbpeterson @EternityNews If they don't heed Peterson, they're just sectarians and not Christians. Nietzscheans should also heed Peterson, or they're just "reading idlers" (*Zarathustra* 1.7 "On Reading and Writing")

Should Christians heed Jordan Peterson? via @EternityNews eternity.news/s/r2bfp

@NietzscheQuotes "'This is MY way -- where's yours?' That is how I answered those who asked me 'THE way.' THE way after all -- it does not exist!" (Thus Spoke Zarathustra* 3.11.2 "On the Spirit of Gravity")
