Mostly, I write about practical philosophy and try to stay away from politics. Politics after all is largely the direct result of misguided thinking, historical fallacies, and all kinds of erroneous philosophies running havoc in politicians’ respectively their masters’ minds… It’s a bit like having faulty software installed, or GIGO (garbage in, garbage out). So in my not particularly humble opinion, that (philosophy) is where the real focus should be to bring about actual changes for the better.
Over the years, I have nonetheless shared some political musings on various social media channels. Very occasionally only. And all nonpartisan stuff as I mainly care about big picture items like freedom, justice, peace and happiness for all. Yet these still tended to get me shadowbanned from time to time, even on so-called free speech sites. Now, that is also happening while posting purely philosophical thoughts and actual scientific facts…
But thanks to the wonderful people at
Welcome to my Political Musings, Part One! :-)
Everything may be freely shared provided no changes are made and full credit is given.
Free speech saves us time and energy as it separates the wheat from the chaff. (2017 )
Those who want to take over our inherent free will or outright deny its existence* are unlikely to have our best interests at heart.
* based on a whimsical and supposedly scientific experiment, as revealed and refuted in Beyond Machine Man (2021).
Actually, most if not all bad guys also think that they are the good guys doing the right thing.
We can neither take credit for our ancestors' achievements nor are we to blame for their mistakes – no matter what those who divide and rule us with ego (identity) politics say. (Beyond Machine Man, 2021)
We can defeat our adversaries without having to hate them. (2017)
The truth does not require anyone believing it for it to be true; it just is. (2017)
Strangely, the promoters of diversity want us all to think alike. (2018)
Why should we strive to be all the same when we are already perfect in our very uniqueness? (2018)
Bad things keep happening when good people are too divided, distracted or depressed to take action. (2018)
People who actually still think and feel for themselves are admirable. (2018)
When many people believe nonsense, will it become less nonsensical? (2018)
Imagine the day we made warmongering illegal and war profiteering impossible. (2020)
Some mistake their ruthlessness for intelligence.
Strangely, some consider themselves to be particularly smart even though they just repeat what they were told to believe.
All wars are instigated by the elite for the benefits of the elite. All killing and dying is done by the peasants. When will we ever learn? (2017)
Since all wars are elite wars, we don't need the EU or a One-world government – ruled by the elite, for the elite – to keep the peace. (2017)
Since all wars are started by and for the elite, who do we need to change or control to have more peace in the world? (2017)
Censorship is liked by authoritarians without arguments but much to hide. (2018)
Most people just want to be left alone while some simply can't leave others alone.
Imagine the day we started to thoroughly test leaders for psychopathy, narcissism and Machiavellianism. Beyond Machine Man (2021)
A lie will never turn into the truth no matter how often it is repeated or believed. 2018
To tolerate those who instigate and implement tyranny means to accept being their slaves.
It is strange when an insane elite believes that they are incredibly illuminated. (2017)
AI is safe and effective; it safely discourages people from thinking for themselves and effectively tells us what to believe.
Anybody who promotes tensions between the world's biggest nuclear powers needs to be put into a mental asylum. (2017)
Bad things happen when we allow ourselves to be ruled by the dumbest, meanest and most corrupt.
Amazingly, proven serial liars actually expect us to believe their latest lies. (2018)
Why do we allow bad billionaires to buy our democracies? (2018)
Why should we hate others just because some say so? (2018)
We are said to be all one so it is perfectly alright that a few self-selected special ones get to decide everything for everybody else, right?
P.S. Ah, the many concoctions used to deprive us of our inherent free will...
In both the big and small picture, the world is still a wonderful place despite a few trying to spoil it for the many.
I hope that you’ve enjoyed at least some of the thoughts, thank you for sharing them with friends & family, and stay tuned for Part Two!
Best regards,
