The Myth of Original Philosophy
*The Thinker* by Auguste RodinIf a philosophical school is filled with the intense conviction that the ideas of its founders are totally original and right, then you can be certain that they are a bunch of inept and immature thinkers and their philosophy is garbage.

Steroids
Steroids have been with us for a long time now and are used best under careful medical supervision. The cult of superman was always absurd, but then it does not go away either. What we do know is that muscle bulk was possible in the past through extended hard physical labor along with ample food and youth as well. That was a pretty high price to pay for something that disappeared almost instantly when you let up. A far superior body model was shown us by Bruce Lee and this is actually sustainable as well without using Steroids. The focus there is for speed. This matters as t... more »

FDR’s Worst Perversion of Freedom: The "Four Freedoms" Speech
All this happened at the height of wartime price controls and all that.

Try to understand just what that actually means. We all share the natural freedom of complete poverty and that is pretty good all by itself.
