These are some of the thinking-errors that we intend to correct over the coming months as we develop this site:
- postmodernism is anti modernism
- Democratization is actually liberalization
Democratization –> Liberalization
- You own your body, your mind, and your life.
- No one has ever taken a life.
- Find someone who claims to or is reported to have taken a life. Ask them to show you the other life, not their own life, but the life that they took.
–
- They will not be able to produce it because they don’t have the life.
–
- “Taking a life” is a beautification and a euphemism for what the person has actually done, which is destroy a life. That’s all they’ve done.
–
They have simply destroyed a human life. It’s a much more offensive and disgusting thing that they have done than “taking a life” makes it sound like, which is already bad enough.
–
- When a theif steals money he at least has the money he stole. A life destroyer can make no such claim.
–
- Serial killers do not achieve control over their victims.
–
- You will never have free time.

- All intelligence is artificial intelligence.
- People make thinking errors. They think “poop smell - air freshener = less poop smell”, when really it’s “poop smell + air freshener = poop smell + air freshener”. It’s like a poop bouquet. A poopourri. Thinking is a process which must be managed and error checked. #thinkingerrors

- The concept of perfection is flawed
- Perfection is infinity-good
- Good is building up from a basis towards perfection
- A single task can be carried out with perfection, but not forever.
–
- “Antifa” are not anti-fascist, but pro-socialist.
- They boast that they are hard on Hitler-types, with “punch a Nazi in the face”, but they are soft on Stalin-types, and socialist history itself.
