Unconditional Obedience Betrays Human Nature

Posted on August 3, 2020 by Danilo

Can obedience ever be used as an instrument of good? Is it always bad? Obedience is defined as obeying without thought or question. It is supplanting one’s faculties of reason and logic for that of another. It is prostrating oneself before the will of another. The moment one disobeys an order from authority based on a moral or logical dilemma the trance is broken. This represents the quintessence of what it means to be human. Human beings are unique in the animal kingdom in that we have a prefrontal cortex of the brain that allows for complex cognitive behavior, problem solving, logic, reasoning, and decision making. We are born to be independent and unique beings.

True unconditional obedience is one of the most destructive forces the world has ever seen. It turns free thinking independent human beings into mindless automatons. These automatons are very useful to rulers as tools to carry to fruition, without question, their wickedness. Without a legion of obedient followers at their beck and call, the evils of the State could never have been realized. Unflinching obedience is the foundation that forms the linchpin to any expanding imperialistic Nation State. Break the obedient trance of the State enforcers and you will cripple the might of any speciously invincible nation State.

“Disobedience is the true foundation of liberty. The obedient must be slaves.” Henry David Thoreau

The US Space Program Reeks of Military Hero Worship and State Welfare Waste

Posted on January 17, 2020 by Danilo

Recently I visited the Kennedy Space Center near Orlando, Florida. I was immediately struck by the rampant military hero worship that was rife in its halls. The space race was steeped in war between rivaling nation States. It was born out of the massive violence and bloodshed that only nation States can produce. Only those with military parasite experience are eligible to participate as a hallowed astronaut.

Putting a man in space or sending a man to the moon is illustrative of the ability of the State to waste immeasurable sums of currency, most ordinary people can only conceive of in their dreams, on boondoggle projects that neither improve the lives of its citizens nor improve the world. It only succeeds in further impoverishing the hard working individual who is already suffering via monetary inflation, rising prices, and a collapsing currency.

The space program is just another tragic example of the broken window fallacy at work. Many of its proponents focus on the many “achievements” of the space program as proof of its necessity, the seen. It is true there are many positive endeavors one might use stolen funds for, however this does not alter the initial immorality that it all originates with the initiation of force that comprises the State. The unseen is what truly breaks my heart. The billions of dollars in stolen funds it takes to build, transport, and launch a rocket or space shuttle will never justify the annihilated potential of robbing millions of hard working human beings.

The Christmas Truce of 1914 and The Power Of One Idea

Posted on December 26, 2016 by Danilo

It is Christmas Day today. Children all over the world will be waking up to a plethora of gifts underneath their tree. They will be shrieking in joy at the excitement of opening up a gift just for them. They will be playing with their new games or toys for the very first time with all the exhilaration that animates even the most phlegmatic and stolid amongst us. Whatever your views are regarding Christmas or the holidays matters little. Is this explosive elation in our children not one the most precious things to witness in our children?

Top 10 Rich People Who Were Once Poor

Many parents work hard building a business or acquiring wealth so that their children do not need to “suffer” as much.

Ironically sometimes out of an environment of mild privation emerge the most dedicated and passionate individuals.

Strong work ethic and a desire to achieve are the pillars of success.

There is so shortage of rags to riches stories.

“Success is ability to go from failure to failure without losing your enthusiasm”, Winston Churchill

Just as we, as parents, must encourage our children to devote themselves to their craft if they want to achieve mastery, so too must we encourage them to seek self-knowledge.

Knowledge that is learned of one’s own accord becomes owned as opposed to knowledge passively given to us by others.

Being comfortable in solitude or surrounding oneself with a small group of soulful genuine friends can facilitate this process.

Before I leave you I would be remiss if I did not make mention of the Christmas Truce of 1914. Simply put, it was a brief pause in the bloodshed of the trench warfare that comprised World War I.

To the immense chagrin of the superior officers for one day there was no more slaughter.

For one brief day there was camaraderie, friendship, and benevolence. There was hand shaking, retrieving and burying of the dead. There was exchanging of gifts and conveying heartfelt messages of love. There was drinking, eating, laughing, and playing of games. For one brief day amongst the carnage, humanity shone through.

The immense tragedy is that this magnanimous sentiment lasted only one day before the killing commenced once again.

This is the power of one idea!

This is why I write, produce videos, and interviews! This is why I focus my attention on discussion of philosophy, morality, and economics!

War, oppression, and injustice are largely the result of ignorance and misunderstanding, not evil.

I hope you all carry this Christmas spirit of compassion, kindness, and humanity far beyond this one day. I hope you all are able to carry it with you throughout your lives. This is what changes paradigms. This is what improves the world.

Happy Holidays! 🙂
