  • No Education At All

    March 7th, 2021

    Modern education claims to be secular. That is, it claims to be neutral, only providing students with the knowledge they need for living in the world but without any religious or philosophical bias. Modern educators claim this is because the religious and philosophical aspects of the student’s life should remain private and not interfere with or influence his public education. This is not only untrue, but absurd. At best, it is impossible. At worst, it is dishonest.

    January 11th, 2021

    We are witnessing the post-modern project collapse in on itself and left unchecked it will bring a new dark age in its wake.
