Imagine a world without quality. That world is coming. Quality is being assassinated by mediocrity. We are told that a rising tide lifts all boats. A rising tide of mediocrity makes everything mediocre and drowns everything of quality. You can't find any quality because it is surrounded by so much mediocrity. Nietzsche said, "The higher we soar the smaller we seem to those who cannot fly." Mediocre people cannot recognize quality. For them, it's tiny,...

Good old Freddie Nietzsche announced that God is dead. Most of the world obviously didn't get the memo. God seems to be alive and kicking, worse than ever. He's in our face. He's out, he's loud, and he's proud. More people believe in God now than at any time in human history. This guy's on a roll. He's a lot more successful than Nietzsche, that's for sure. Freddie said, "Success has always been the greatest liar." Sore loser! It's not enough to proclaim...

Humanity could be saved by knowledge, understanding, reason and logic, but these have always been despised by the average person.

Have you ever wondered why people have faith? Why don't they choose not to have faith? How does it help you to believe things for which no reasons or evidence can be provided? Is faith pure wish fulfillment? Is it social conditioning, brainwashing, mind control? Imagine a world where no one had ever heard of Moses, the Buddha, Jesus, and Mohammed, but everyone had heard of Pythagoras, Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle. Would our world be better or worse?...

The Meritocracy Party campaigns to replace democracy with meritocracy. Democracy has become the single biggest obstacle to the rise of the most meritorious. In the USA, no matter your talents, you cannot become President unless you have access to vast wealth to fund your campaign.

Even more than an economic system, capitalism is a psychological instrument for manipulating and exploiting gullible, credulous, suggestible human beings. It's about working out what makes you tick in order to sell you more stuff. Capitalism's task isn't to make you a perfect person, but merely a perfect consumer. Capitalism is purely about enriching those with capital. It's about the Profit Principle. Not only is it strictly amoral, it turns out...
