  The Cause of the Enlightenment
  by B
  September 10, 2024
  Now, consider the linked image. It potentially demonstrates the cause of the Enlightenment. You see, before the Reformation, the Holy Roman Empire controlled truth, and Western Civilization began to take shape. Unfortunately, absolute authoritarianism corrupts. Martin Luther thus led a successful rebellion against it (circa…

  The Bible’s First Commandment Demands That You Think For Yourself — How Great And Generous is That?
  by B
  September 9, 2024
  On X (Twitter), an atheist complained that the Bible told people what to think. Atheist: Me … The atheist’s claim is not true. The Bible demands that you think for yourself. In fact, this Commandment is the first and most important Commandment (says Jesus). “And…

  The Neurological Point of Faith
  by B
  September 2, 2024
  An X (Twitter) user declared – If Jesus isn’t the focus of worship in your church, it isn’t a Christian church. I say that’s unfortunate. Consider this: The cortex (see image) is directly connected to the senses. You cannot use the cortex without activating elements…

  Dysrational Movements Are The Adult Face Of Emotional Immaturity The anti-rational (i.e., dysrational) movements Marxism, Nazism, and “wokeism” are dysrational movements. Each shares a common and fundamental…

  ChatGPT glitches out: Rogue AI responding in nonsensical Spanglish, gibberish — In other words, “hoarder” thinkers can lose control of what they think they know. Mental illness surely follows.
  by B
  March 6, 2024
  Individuals who do not practice free will (SELF-control) may become thought hoarders. If these thoughts/ideas are not reconciled with one another, mental illness likely results. This concept may be difficult to understand, yet it happens. AI can offer a real-world demonstration of the problem. The…

  If you hear a voice in your head while not speaking, is it YOU, God, the devil, or something else? From what place do you think it originates? What neurological purpose can you imagine it serves? Do you perceive it to be rational or emotional?…

  The antichrist is all too real. It is Orwell’s “Ministry of Truth” — War is peace.  Freedom is slavery.  Ignorance is strength. — The rejection of objective truth.
  by B
  January 5, 2024
  Twenty-first-century individuals wonder, is the antichrist religious superstition or reality? It is an important question. I declare now, regrettably, that the antichrist is all too real. However, I also state that the antichrist is deeply misunderstood. It is, foundationally, not a person. It is a…

  Are we living in a simulation?
  by B
  December 10, 2023
  RE: Is reality a simulation? The answer can be one of three possibilities. As an initial step, for us to be able to consider the above question together, we must have an objectively true (SHARED) process to discover truth. That is, we must agree to…

  The Only Two Ways To Save Civilization
  by B
  July 10, 2023
  The Solutions Why is civilization failing? Short answer: DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) over merit. The relevant question is instead: What is happening to Western Civilization’s capitalistic commitment to merit? Individuals are increasingly trapped in a prison of their minds, chained immutably to what they…

  Why God at all?
  by B
  June 28, 2023
  On Twitter, the debate about the existence of God, at least amongst those atheists and theists that I regularly interact with, has achieved detente. Now, most individuals comfortably accept that the existence of God cannot be proven or disproven. The question now often is: Why…

  June 20, 2023
  The key skill parents and education must accomplish is the development of self-control (free will). AND … Develop SELF-Control! Do this, and the individual becomes a lifelong learner. Do it not, and the individual becomes a lifelong victim.

  Atheism, The “Father” Of Human Dysrationality
  by B
  May 19, 2023
  For a person to maintain their capacity to reason, it is not possible to claim to know, absolutely, the truth about any question. I can make this above claim, absolutely, because it arises in this (my) definition for reason. See: Key to the above definition…

  The Atheist View/Objections, Application Of Reason
  by B
  May 12, 2023
  I evangelize reason. My second company, LearningFramework, was formed many years ago with that objective. At that time, we didn’t know enough about the process of reason. Maybe we still don’t. Yet, civilization depends upon human-facilitated growth in reason for its longevity. Until now, reason…

  A Thoughtful Dialogue With An Atheist RE Absolute Truth, The Creator, AND Reason
  by B
  May 4, 2023
  FIRST, I embrace monotheism for my capacity to reason (God bless Abraham). I also selectively accept religion. All of them. The post’s picture is that of St. Thomas Aquinas. He’s a smart one. From Twitter (The TOC Is A List Of Questions) What do you…

  Free will is, in truth, FREE WON’T (See learningframework.com post on Benjamin Libet). FREE WON’T is also known as SELF-control. Critically, SELF-control is key to emotional maturity and good mental health. Without FREE WON’T (otherwise known as SELF-control), humans cannot be “smart.” These individuals will not…

  A Contemplative Cognitive Posture Is Practically A Must For example, the “woke” are principally postmodernist thinkers. The woke, generally, also include the political left, Marxists, progressives, and neo-liberals. These particular groups comprise people that believe they KNOW the truth. In addition, when the Christian right…

  How do I find the truth?
  by B
  March 24, 2023
  On QUORA: How do I know the truth? Truth is established when a hypothesis meets both the necessary and sufficient conditions. Note especially that the proposed hypotheses must be disprovable. In other words, one and only one hypothesis is permitted as an explanation for the observed. This requirement is essential…

  What are the pros and cons of public shaming? Shame and praise are the tools a parent uses to steer a child. Adults, however, accept that other adults have freedom of thought and are therefore entitled to maintain their own beliefs without this controlling emotional…
