Respecting Differences Without Privileging Weakness This is not to be blamed solely directly upon minorities, but rather their status as created artificially and the only paths to rectifying it all (https://YourFight.Club/read the club is Christianity), the responsibility of which borne most by minorities by not being part of majorities instead. Identity and power have natural ebb…

Assumed Weakness Identity Undermines Community Opposed to nationalism, though not necessarily apparent at first, are the entanglements of victimhood mentality as identity, what I identify as Victimentality in my first book Your Fight (https://YourFight.Club/read the club is Christianity). For while nationalism seeks to honour the natural states of man and our needs in organisation, victimhood…

Approaching Humility As beloved of God, our success in the quest for understanding is intrinsically tied to acknowledging limitations. Many profound insights will emerge only at the end of great frustration, why? The frustration is humbling and forces the reconsideration of presumptions. Yesterday I brought up a vast library, where one is armed only with…

Scientism and Its Denial of Ignorance Dear beloved of God, let us now turn our gaze to that shadow which looms forever over modern thought: arrogance. Not the arrogance in this or another certainty per se, but the arrogance through denial of our ignorance. They would have ignorance itself as something to be solved, rather…

A Call to Humility Dearly beloved of God, imperfection guarantees ignorance. Our very fallibility is the gateway to wisdom, if we allow it to be. In the imperfections of our human incompleteness are sown the seeds of our understanding, and our patterns of understandings which result in our gifts to the world. The more we…

Multiverse Insanity If every possible outcome exists in an infinite number of multiverses, then what is the purpose in any action, including the thinking of non-observable multiverses? If everything possible happens, then why should we care about any outcome or any single multiverse at all, for that matter, and what would be the point of…

Odds Defying Logic Improbability of life on Earth is inexplicable to scientists and statisticians. The conditions required for life to arise (with all physical constants, stable temperatures, liquid water, a protective atmosphere, and just the right balance of chemical elements) are so finely tuned that even among billions of galaxies, the chance of finding another…

When Science Denies the Miracles Foundational to Science and Progress So we confront a doctrine that has shaped modern cosmology and philosophy alike: the mediocrity principle. Mediocrity asserts that we are not special, our galaxy is unremarkable, our solar system is average, and our planet is just one of many in the cosmos. According to…

Admissions in Practices of Psychiatry and Psychology You do not know everything. I know, big shocker, right? Even if we deny the spiritual entirely, there are still things in any given case which are unknown and, perhaps, unknowable. A person’s obsession with things to gain power may be labelled as “narcissism,” but it could also…

“Incredulity Made Me Do It”: That Improbability Cop-Out of Scientism The universe’s improbability is the primary argument for the multiverse, so statistical incredulity, essentially. This theory proposes that our observable universe is just one of countless others, each with its own set of physical laws and constants. According to this view, the conditions necessary for…
