People Need Religion Because Philosophy is Subjective

Unknown at The Verma Report - 2 hours ago
Human life is a paradox which cannot be resolved by reason alone; it also demands some sort of contact with a religion that is rich in theological philosophy. The paradox in life is one of truth—there are the fundamental truths that you accept because your senses tell you that these truths are part of the objective reality. But several of these fundamental truths cannot be proved by science and mathematics; you have to go to philosophy for finding arguments to substantiate your belief in these truths. Philosophy, however, is grounded in both objectivity and subjectivity. A good phil... more »

It’s easier to start a war than to end a war, as many a nation has learned to its cost. That’s particularly true with China. In 1937, Japan tried to conquer China: eight years later, when Japan surrendered, it was still trying.

Comments on Medicare-for-All

Charles R. Anderson, Ph.D. at An Objectivist Individualist - 3 hours ago
Elizabeth Warren's plan to nationalize the health care system in the USA has a price tag of $52 billion according to her no-doubt reliable cost accounting. She has claimed repeatedly that billionaires will pay all the taxes to pay for it. The middle class will pay nothing, so she says. The total wealth of American billionaires is estimated to be about $2.4 trillion. If every last penny of that wealth were confiscated by Warren's socialist government, the tax on the billionaires would cover about 4.6% of cost of the first 10 years of her Medicare-for-All program. Now, mind you, w... more »

Same goes for the all the tax increases and the payment of much lower rates to physicians and hospitals.
