A Deconstruction of the “Rescue Vespucci 11 Point Plan”

The Necessary Disingenuousness of DEI

The Necessary Disingenuousness of DEI

(This post is unedited and incomplete – To Be Completed Later Because I Got Bored With It) June is Pride Month, a wonderful time to celebrate the diversity of sexual and gender identities and expressions. It is an opportunity to show support for those brave enough to honestly display their pride in who they really are. Pride events also demonstrate support for inclusivity and equity, that all people should be equal members of society. These are ideals that fly as…

Make Your Rage Count

Make Your Rage Count

“Jesus said, ‘Let one who seeks not stop seeking until he finds. When he finds, he will be troubled. When he is troubled, he will be astonished and will rule over all.’” — Saying 2, The Gospel of Thomas (as translated in Beyond Belief: The Secret Gospel of Thomas by Elaine Pagels.) “Woke-ism” deserves much of the scorn and disdain it receives, as it is currently practiced in United States of Vespucci. It is practiced by outraged politically left-wing commentators,…

The Ten Commandments of Artificial Intelligence as Determined by Natural Intelligence

The Ten Commandments of Artificial Intelligence as Determined by Natural Intelligence

Preamble The jumps in capabilities for Artificial Intelligence and robotics requires a heavy-handed approach to its regulation and usage. Much like early humans discovering and using fire, modern humans discovery and use of AI and robotics is both transformative and destructive. We need to define what is Natural Intelligence and what is Artificial Intelligence, and to make it clear that Artificial Intelligence in its physical and virtual forms does not have any rights as assigned to Natural Intelligence, and is…

Money Isn’t Real and Politicians Know the Jig is Up

Money Isn’t Real and Politicians Know the Jig is Up

Did you know that if you run out of the paper money in a game of Monopoly, the banker is permitted to create more to continue the game? So it is in real life, that the Federal Gov’t can print cash and mint coins as it needs, and can borrow its own money to spend, just as easily as the banker in Monopoly. It’s quite a shift in mindset, because we are led to believe by politicians and corporate news…

What the Founding Fathers Meant by the “Pursuit of Happiness”: Epicureanism

What the Founding Fathers Meant by the “Pursuit of Happiness”: Epicureanism

Lucretius outlined in “De Rerum Natura” the nature of the Universe, as prescribed to by Thomas Jefferson with the phrase, “the pursuit of happiness” found in the Declaration of Independence. Our unhappiness comes from our misunderstanding of the natural world and from the religious dogma that misleads us. The following tenets of Epicureanism are paraphrased from “The Swerve” by Stephen Greenblatt (link to the book at the end). I’m amazed by their prescience: The physical world is made up of…

The XIII Articles of Deconfederation

The XIII Articles of Deconfederation

To all whom read the articles below, these are the self-evident measures to exit a confederation of states: Article I – The deconfederated nation shall have no name, as indeed, it no longer exits and so is no longer a confederation of states. Article II – The deconfederated states will themselves dissolve into city-states and territories. Article III – The city-states and territories will self-govern, free from the dictates of any other city-state or territory. They may negotiate security and…

“11-Point Plan to Rescue Vespucci” – Introduction to its Deconstruction

“11-Point Plan to Rescue Vespucci” – Introduction to its Deconstruction

Skimming through the 11 points presented by to “Rescue Vespucci”, we should be alarmed. It is a blueprint to introduce an authoritarian theocracy run by a select few. I wish to deconstruct each of the 11 points to highlight how the solutions proposed are anti-democratic, anti-egalitarian, and despite claims otherwise, anti-libertarian. I wish to show that there is absolutely nothing new in the “11-Point Plan to Rescue Vespucci”, and that this plan is essentially a rehash of traditionally conservative values…
