Solvable Problems

 If you've spent any time teasing apart the ideas of any philosophy you will likely know that each has some kind of foundational statement or concept upon which everything else is based. For example, Jordan Peterson's attempt has the foundational concept "Everyone acts as though pain is real, therefore pain is real." He cites this in one of his early Maps of Meaning vid's as the foundation by including the statement "You have to start somewhere." Taken at face value, that might pass, but the statement is false: Sociopaths do not feel emotional pain at all, they literally have no idea what it is. Those rare individuals with congenital analgesia do not feel physical pain, they literally have no idea what it is. Peterson's attempt at a coherent philosophy abruptly has the foundation snatched out from beneath it and everything stacked on top collapses into the component parts; some of those are interesting, and some may have some value, but they are bits and pieces, not a coherent whole.

The entire body of left leaning philosophy has the concept of equality as it's foundation. Yanking the foundations out from left-wing thought is effortless; there is no equality in reality, you can't have or enforce what does not exist. Impossible things don't happen. Equality of opportunity is just as absurd a goal as equality of outcomes. Variance obliterates any idea of equality. It's no surprise that any attempt to implement the ideas stacked on the false foundation always lead to mere failure at the very best.

What brought that to mind was something said in the linked interview below; at around 61:07 the question is asked, can these problems be solved? The answer involves the different between solvable problems and manageable problems, and is worth your time - the whole interview is but this bit particularly.

The idea of holding people elected or appointed (or in general for that matter) accountable is hardly new, but has grown in importance over the last few decades.

On a related note, Vox Day shares a link to work being done to shine a light on recent electoral fraud that the msm would have us all believe is imaginary ("Who are you going to believe, me or your lying eyes?" - Groucho Marx, if I remember correctly).

There are further links within Mr Day's post, and if you have the time they are worth your time.

I seem to be on a roll here, so I'll just link one more site that is significant and of interest, just in case you are unaware that there are an army of citizen reporters stepping up to the plate to do the work journalists of the msm choose not to do... well, there are. I picked a vid' not entirely at random.
