Here’s a very short video on the subject of metaphysics, the philosophy of being and reality.

It’s a great example of what I mean when I say that it has been a terrible last few centuries for philosophers.

In ancient times, if you wanted to know what the fundamental building blocks of the universe, you asked a philosopher, perhaps the ancient Athenian Democritus, who propounded the theory of the atom, which was, by definition, indivisible.  Now we refer this question to the realm of particle physics.

Far more recently, those who struggled to know the ultimate nature of reality asked a metaphysician.  Now, once again, we’ve put our trust in science.

I hope you’ll check out the video linked above.

It’s weird that no one talks about this anymore (did we talk about it at all?), but how likely is it that the assassination attempt against Donald Trump in which he was supposedly hit in the ear by a round from an AR-15 didn’t leave a scar?  Not even a scratch?

Why can’t some teenage cub reporter follow this down and show that the likelihood of this actually happening is like rolling a six on a die 1000 times in a row?

Fascism Has Come to America–Or Has It?

According to Trump’s head of Homeland Security, we, the American people, have two choices: stay silent against ICE agents’ grossly illegal and sometimes lethal violence against innocent people, or face “more bloodshed.”

This is what fascism looks like.

Yet, too many Americans are children or grandchildren of our brave ancestors who risked (or gave) their lives to defeat Hitler. I’m betting against Trump and the despicable people he’s nominated to top positions in his administration.

World Civility

While human civilization is far from perfect, most of the world’s people are kind and decent.  Sure, there are rogue countries led by the most horrific dictators imaginable, yet all but one of the developed nations on Earth support their citizens with universal healthcare.

Of all the countries that played in the 2026 FIFA World Cup, the United States is the only one that lets its people go through bankruptcies and die of treatable diseases because they can’t afford health insurance.

Civil?
