Hooray: Jordan Peterson Lives!
Religions couch evolved morality. Jordan Peterson tiptoes around adding the word "evolution" to religion and spirituality, but it's there. How to live a happy life: Try to match up with what our evolved natures are. Give the gift of life if you can: 1.2 billion year evolved, man & wife couples. Humans are not prepared by evolution to decide when to stop having kids, thus we should lean toward having More, now that we have a choice.

Postmodernism births sterile wastrels. Choose life instead.
Postmodernism births sterile wastrels. Choose life instead.
Postmodernism (and racist eugenicist Margaret Sanger's birth control pill): Helps females become fat pigs. Next, overly attractive males have no females to hook up with. And thus, the Stonewall LGBTQPZ project was born: a place for abused abusive wastrels to go, so as to engage in mutual wankery to no good effect, other than some nice art perhaps, but zero kids born into best-for-the-kids settings.
Lives derailed. Lives destroyed.
Yes, it's true, wankery in and of itself won't make you a LGBTQPZ. For the Mormons & Ex-Mormons in my feed: Mormon Prophet Spencer Kimball's claim that wankery will may you a sexual invert (i.e. a g,a,y), which was taught textually AND verbally in the Mormon (LDS) Church, yes that's not correct. And mandatory sexually explicit interviews of children and adults absolutely drives some of those people to be angry reactionaries when they get older or become more mature. All abusive Mormon she'at which other flavors of Christianity don't do (e.g. Evangelical and other protestant).
But the ultra left is not a panacea answer to the abuses of sections of the ultra right.
Oh, yes, as an ex-religionist, you can be so angry angry angry, with religion in general. But, we being evolutionary animals with emergent properties, happen to couch our evolved morals within religious contexts. Religions are evolutionary artifacts and engines themselves.
The (French) bullshit postmodernist ideology, derails the lives of many.
Gender is binary in the human animal.
Yes, children need a mother and a father, for their own best evolved and natural well being.
Gender is not changeable in the human animal.
There's no such thing as "gender identity," just moronic and stupid and abusive gender dysphoria.
Secular people can have bad dumbshit memes running on their brains, too.
Thus, to be a conservative, means you want to conserve things. Today being a conservative means conserving free speech. Conserving British Western Enlightenment values. Conserving the American project is the best example of those values. Universal slavery, ended. Science and human knowledge, advanced. True free speech, present, something not as fully present in any other country or community. The ability to fry sacred cows, yes, that's included. But let's not toss the baby of evolved morality out with the bathwater of mysticism. And I agree with Jordan Peterson that even the mystical stores have evolved natural good utilitarian value.
Social conservatism is the >default< useful natural evolved position, because that position promotes live, preserves life, and continues life. Ok let's call out abuses, but let's also value what should be valued.
Sincerely,
Jonathan

Reza Aslan's Leftist Violent Nihilism vs Life, Happiness, and Freedom
Reasonably responding to Reza Aslan & the Anti-Life Nihilistic Left, versus Trump & his supporters.
Regarding the constant drip, drip, drip of nihilistic psychopaths:
The charlatan virtue signalers are pointing fingers everywhere except where they should be pointed. Leftist generators of cultural nihilism & lost boys:
1. A key generator of nihilism in the West is culturally Marxist postmodernism.
2. Third Wave Feminism.
3. The LGBTQPZ Stonewall project.
4. The leftist competition to see who's the very best at not having children.
5. Redefining marriage.
6. Denial regarding the sexually dimorphic nature of humans.
7. Devaluing motherhood & fatherhood.
8. Shaming pinks skins AKA whites for having pink skins.
9. Shaming boys for being boys.
Pink-Skin-Carried British & American Western Enlightenment Values ended universal slavery.
Where's my reparations for that (not that I'm asking for any)?
Children are born innocent. Meme sets however can be blamed. When you have a culture which generates nihilists that culture has a problem.
Democrats seek to import voters. The nihilistic violent youth who're members of #Antifa support the corporatist elitist gated community leftists with these goals: open the floodgates.
The native born of all colors are pitted by the Democrats against the people whom the Democrats wish to import as a means of maintaining & gaining power. So that's an abusive situation.
Another meme set that the cultural left loves, Islam, also generates lost boy nihilists so they can have virgins in an afterlife. This is a real thing. Listen to Tawfik Hamid:
Thus nihilism can come from various places.
In today's world we need to be be prepared. Take a multi-faceted approach. The Democrats lie about the motives of Trump and of Trump supporters. 99.9% of Trump supporters would like all potential mass shooters erased.
The Democrats have their violent arm, the death cult army of #Antifa.
Promote life. Find a way to make life - the most important thing we can do during our speck of time here. Christopher Hitchens said this.
Question the dominant paradigm. Question your own beliefs. This is the key spirit of what Christopher Hitchens advocated for.
The people putting out the most racist & pro-violence dog whistles these days are the Democrats.
Reza Aslan is such a one, a man who's apparently pro-violence-against-Republicans type of guy.
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2019/08/05/nolte-reza-aslan-calls-kellyanne-conway-the-evil-we-need-to-eradicate/
Reza Aslan is a slick tongue opportunistic charlatan who promotes a rose colored view of Islam. His longer term game has been to go on legacy media news outlets and basically lie about Islam.
POS violence promoting Aslan claimed that Ayaan Hirsi Ali is "dangerous."
Hirsi Ali and Theo Van Gogh created the film "Submission Part 1," a film critical of how Islam treats women. Van Gogh was killed as a result. And Hirsi Ali must have round the clock security & moved to the USA a result of threats against her. And yet asshat Aslan thinks Hirsi Ali is dangerous.
The film Submission Part 1:
Yes and while Aslan should be rightly seen as a lying opportunistic charlatan, the same can also be said of prominent Democrats especially Democrat blacks, who belong to a party which enslaved their ancestors, a party which booted the Amerindians off their lands, a party which interned the Japanese Americans during World War II, and a party which has imported anti-American anti-Enlightenment culturally-Marxist postmodernism into America.
The Republican Party was against all these things.
If you're going to ascribe blame to meme sets, let's blame the Democrat Party for what they should be blamed for. This is why I renounce my prior association with the Democrat Party.
I voted for Obama twice, but now I regret those votes primarily because of:
1. Obama utterly betrayed the Western Enlightenment & American projects by stating that his preferred future must belong to those who don't slander the prophet of Islam. Does Obama consider himself to be the America's Islamic Imam? Blasphemy laws are antithetical to the American & Enlightenment projects.
https://reason.com/2012/09/25/president-obama-says-we-must-condemn-tho
2. Obama associated with leftist terrorist Bill Ayers.
3. Obama greatly appreciated the work of anti-American anti-Enlightenment leftist traitor Saul Alinsky.
Democrats de facto and in fact support the violent terrorist organization Antifa - the angry nihilistic youth who misdirect their anger toward people who can help them be less nihilistic, toward the cultural right in other words.
Trump has denounced white supremacy. If you're a virtue signaling lying Democrat, you'll seek to deceive the chump left regarding what Trump has actually said & what Trump's supporters actually believe.

Evolutionary Social Conservatism
Naturalistic Secular Advocacy for Social Conservatism.
Normal, natural, evolved human nature. What shall we call this? In today's world racked by the cancer of postmodernist denialism, how about: Evolved Social Conservatism.
Being naturally pro life, pro children, pro family, and pro having children born to and raised by the setting which is best for them via a 1.2 billion year evolved process (the time sex has existed on this planet). August 2nd, 2019

That which produces love, is love: Choose Life.
When the human species turns away from its evolutionary roots, it falters.
What does it mean when an animal is sexually dimorphic? It means there’s trait divergence between the genders. Size. Disposition. Personality. Intelligence distribution, peaks, lows, averages. Inclinations. Desires. Preferences. Preferred jobs. Natural abilities, on average.
In the human animal, women evolved to be the primary care givers to young children. Look women are damn capable people. But, when they outsource primary childcare to strangers, they are selling their own children short. Plus they are also then acting as an enabling force for the abusive leftist Ponzi scheme known as State Welfare - a system which is an enabling force for BAD and abusive human behavior: Abusive behavior such as incentivized single mother households. Abusive from a human nature and evolutionary perspective.
I’m not talking about gods as the origin or morality. Evil Santy isn’t checking whether you whacked off last night. Don’t worry. But, religions couch evolved human morality. Thus, what humans are DOING today, now, all is rooted in evolved human nature.
Thus, while Evil Santy Jesus isn’t making his list and checking it twice whether you watch porn, whack off too much, or are on a track to be a non reproductive outlier petty dead end wastrel. No literal gods give a F.
But, we as sexual animals, naturally derive the most happiness when we live our lives in such a manner which more closely aligns with what we have been evolved to do: have children au naturel - the way 1.2 billion years of evolutionary history intended.
Before you resort to implementing in your life eugenicist Margaret Sanger’s birth control pill (she bankrolled it), consider carefully. Have you pushed yourself enough? Are you smart enough to know exactly when to cut yourself off from inherent reproduction?
Evolution is smarter than you. The ant with a liver fluke inside doesn’t know why it crawls to the top of a blade of grass so as to be eaten by a passing cow. Brains and eyes naturally progressed via natural selection long before neurology and ophthalmology came on the scene.
Yes we are an interplanetary species. But, if you outsource the primary raising of your young kids to strangers, you are literally selling them and yourself short.
Burn those bras. Put them pussy hats on. Scream. Yell. Complain. Throw a tizzy. But in the end, women in the human species posses the primary ability and evolved responsibility to care for children in a human family’s primary nesting place. Also, when women do work, they choose female trait type jobs on average. Care-giving jobs. Not manly jobs.
Men are better physicists because men have a naturally wider IQ distribution. More highs. More lows. Female human IQs tend to populate toward the middle of the IQ human intelligence distribution.
Also human races, also known as sub-species in the biological sense (sub doesn’t in this case mean lesser, it just means a subdivision of the larger species group), have a.) differing average personality profiles, and differing average intelligence distributions.
All this talk is utter heresy within culturally Marxist postmodernism, a denialist cult which underpins most primary and secondary education in Europe and America. The social sciences including psychology and all university departments which end in the word studies, all these are also underpinned by the evolved human nature denying cult of postmodernism.
Oh and by the way, if I were a white supremacist, I wouldn’t be willing to admit that Ashkenazi Jews (European Jews) and East Asians score higher on average on math intelligence than evil evil universal-slavery-ending whitey does.
365,000 pink skins AKA white Northern Army soldiers DIED during the American Civil War so that universal slavery on this planet could be ended - and many white British soldiers died worldwide for the exact same reason.
So ask yourself, why are childless socially leftist European leaders importing socially conservative Muslims into Europe to breed on their behalf? For evolutionary and biological reasons. It’s not dicks out for Harambe. https://youtu.be/M0nw5dx2a_4 It’s dicks and vaginas out for whatever human group has got the available biggest-balls and the most human nature complying and honoring vaginas.
If your own county is filled with soy-boy feminized men and women who pop eugenicist Margaret Sanger’s birth control pill, you WILL (for evolutionary reasons which even you’ll verbally deny) want to import more socially conservative humans who wIll more truly honor our evolved by natural selection sexual human natures. Import by hook or by crook. Feeling the redpill going down the gullet yet? Am I getting through?
I’m my own man, but we all stand on the shoulders of others.

This is a special week. In a few days I shall be attending the funeral of a second nephew who's been taken too early.
When you live in a clouded-in environment which is grey for 11 months of the year. When you've failed at life and love, and you're allowing booze to lower your inhibitions, you might have a voice which comes into your head which says: "Why don't you just f-ing kill yourself."Two nephews, taken way too early by the reaper. They couldn't wait until they were 85 to exit. Why?
Because when they were at their lowest, they didn't reach out for help.
Phone a helper, paid to help people in such situations. Talk through the thoughts. Understand why imposing thoughts of doing bad shit to yourself comes into your head.
When you're at your lowest, you can either allow the low point to be an impetus for positive change, or you can take the easy way out and let the reaper take you. If so taken, you shall:
Leave behind those who love you. Leave behind the POTENTIAL for love & change.
Most suicides produce anger in those left behind. Anger at realizing we probably could have done more and anger at the cowardice and selfishness of the act itself. But here's a f-ing kicker: There's also slow motion suicide which people do while still breathing.
We all face hard times.
You can let anger and/or depression take you, or you can reach out for help when you're at your lowest.
And yes booze and other brain chemical changing drugs do worsen situations.They remove evolutionarily-provided walls.
Booze causes a high, but it also causes a subsequent low, plus it also opens a brain up to more negative thoughts than would otherwise be there.
Thus, when a person is at their lowest, they should choose to reach out for help, for help from strangers trained to help. Then later, they can work to instead choose life.
And thus, four children have been born, by hook and by crook, and by some hard pushing.
That which produces love, is love. It's life. It's sex. It's the river of life. It's the Great Mandala. Take your place, or don't. I suggest you do. And once taken, stay the f around so as to help your kids grow up! I DGAF if you feel like shit. They need you. That's my message to you. Thus get up, pick yourself up, try to understand your partner and yourself, and move on with life.

Talk I gave at my mother's funeral:
---excerpt:
As far as I can tell, relative to our position in the Universe, we're rather like some moss growing on the top of a mountain.As moss we're very intelligent. And maybe some day, being the smart green moss that we are, maybe we'll find a way to extract ourselves from the mountain top.In a few years our lone peak which is the only place we can live is going to get scorched. And we happen to be so smart in fact that we have predicted the future scorching.So if we are very lucky & very smart indeed, our science & technology may save us.Or perhaps we'll fade away to dust like most life has on the mountain.It's either the sky god or the volcano god, or the real truth about our rather humble state.Noble & beautiful, yes, but if we're going to make it in the long term at least a few of us have to take a longer view.There is no Christian Armageddon waiting. But in about 500 million years our Sun will be 10% brighter thereby causing the oceans boil off. So our descendants either need to re-engineer the Sun by then, or get us off of this rock. And we've only known about this for ten or so years. And there are other huge risks to our survival.What we teach our children about science may save humanity.There's no heaven or hell. But that means we have an added responsibility to care for what we have here. To make this life here & now into a heaven or a hell.We are related to other animals. We are animals, and our morals come from a combination of genetics and socialization. Whether such a fact is good or bad, it doesn't matter. That's simply the way it is.Being concerned about legacy is an issue. Who will care that you lived in 100 years? Make a contribution. Be a great artist or a great scientist or have kids. And if you have kids, teach them the value cutting edge art and science, and of the value of taking the proverbial red pill as from the
film The Matrix.
---end of excerpt
We only get one shot on this pale blue dot:
...don't waste it. Don't exit early by your own hand. Live a life which honors your evolutionary heritage as a sexually reproductive sexually dimorphic emergent properties highly intelligent animal, and you'll be happier.
When two or more are gathered:
Lyrics:
He is now to be among you at the calling of your heartsRest assured this troubadour is acting on His partThe union of your spirits here has caused Him to remainFor whenever two or more of you are gathered in His nameThere is love, there is loveWell a man shall leave his mother, and a woman leave her homeThey shall travel on to where the two shall be as oneAs it was in the beginning is now until the endA woman draws her life from man and gives it back againAnd there is love, there is loveWell then what's to be the reason for becoming man and wifeIs it love that brings you here or love that gives you lifeFor if loving is the answer then who's the giving forDo you believe in something that you've never seen beforeOh there's love, oh there's loveOh, the marriage of your spirits here has caused Him to remainFor whenever two or more of you are gathered in His name
There is love, oh there's love
---end of quote
If you're not joined in love, you will be lost. Thus join hands, or be lost. Thus I suggest joining hands in love.

The Value of Foreign Brides: Life! Family! - Responding to Stefan Molyneux
The Value of Foreign Brides: Life! Family! Responding to Stefan Molyneux on the issue. Also general commentary on Molyneux's social issue call in shows.
I like 70% of what Stefan Molyneux does with his YouTube show, but the 20-30% social issue call ins are a problem.
My response to the following Molyneux video, and more generally to all of his social issue call ins:
https://youtu.be/CyIM4d_-rcY
To Molyneux:
There is something perverse regarding your fixation on being anti to all things “foreign bride.”
You treat all flowers the same, with an overly harsh broad brush. You have an apparent fixation on the foreign brides issue, and on marrying people outside of your own country. You're not a U.S. citizen (I presume) and yet you seem to comment a great deal about who is allowed or welcome to come to America. You de facto express disdain for a situation where American men might cause some non-American humans to enter America, for any reason. Love. Having a more meaningful life. Children. That's all mostly of no meaning apparently to you, because those men are causing non-Americans to come in. This is the general tone of your approach in my view. But you're not even American, again I presume. You're Canadian.
As for your general social issue call ins: They sound staged. Who, exactly, would call to a stranger and reveal such things, and place their hearts in your cold and harsh hands? Hands cold and overly harsh due apparently to your own problematic upbringing.
Yes your philosophy and anti-Marxism shows are ok. But as for the social issue call ins, bring me a bucket Stefan.
There is beauty and valiance in the world which you know nothing of. Your social issue callers don’t deserve you nor your abuse toward them.
On Marxism and socialism, ok good work. But your cruel crass approach on social issues, is solely your own angry ghosts in action more than anything else.

My Journey to Conservatism
The Aristotelian-Ptolemaic model of the universe ended up being wrong:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geocentric_model
Galileo helped correct as did others.
Newton wasn't wrong, but his concepts didn't include Relativity nor Quantum Mechanics nor Quantum field theory.
Jeffersonian Deism's clockwork universe with a Supreme Architect was the most reasonable one at the time, but in light of current observations such a stance can no longer be reasonably supported.
Questioning dominant paradigms is actually quite a useful activity. And questioning and sometimes lampooning sacred cows. It's essential.
Enlightenment Values are worth preserving. America is the best example of a country which exemplifies Enlightenment values.
Values not given by any god. But rather given by 13.8+ billion years of evolution by natural selection, and by our history & choices.
The religious right denies the facts of evolution, while living lives which are often in fact 'most true' to it.
The dogmatic de facto religious left claims to believe in evolution, while often living lives which are essentially traitorous to evolution.
"...Although the initial development of moral foundations theory focused on cultural differences, subsequent work with the theory has largely focused on political ideology. Various scholars have offered moral foundations theory as an explanation of differences among political progressives (liberals in the American sense), conservatives, and libertarians, and have suggested that it can explain variation in opinion on politically charged issues such as gay marriage and abortion. In particular, Haidt and fellow researchers have argued that progressives stress only two of the moral foundations (Care and Fairness) in their reasoning, and libertarians stress only two (Liberty and Fairness), while conservatives stress all six more equally."
from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moral_foundations_theory
Religion is a natural phenomenon, a fact which cuts several ways. Yes it's another reason for the mystical claims to be debunked. But it also means that fully natural evolved human moral codes of conduct are often couched within religious contexts.
Dennett on religion being natural:
https://youtu.be/56VAZNx8HBQ
...a fact also mostly fully lost on all dogmatic leftist atheists who still have a chip on their should regarding being lied to in their former conservative religions.
Being wrong can be a virtue, if we're willing to change our minds upon new evidence.
Was born an atheist.
At age 5 learned there was a sky god. Seemed strange to me, but ok.
At age 9 learned I was a sexual animal. Whodathunkit.
At age 11 learned that the sky god was more than a bit upset at my being a sexual animal. The natural man, and 11 year old kid coming of age, is an enemy to god after all, right?
Between the ages of 19 and 21 I spent 2 years making maps on 3x5 cards, taking pictures of sunsets, and avoiding a proper admission that I was a normal sexual animal.
While at BYU at the age of 23 I started questioning the shaming the sky god likes to do regarding being a normal sexual animal.
While at Weber State I learned about physics and evolution. What I learned filled a hole left by my increasing rejection of the mysticism learned in my youth.
At age 26 I fully rejected the mysticism, and I resigned from the religion of my youth (Mormonism).
Between the ages of 13 and 23 I was a socially (religiously) conservative Democrat, because my father was a somewhat rare Democrat within a sea of Republicans within his religion.
At 26 I became more socially liberal, an ultra-liberal essentially. Drafted an exit journal.
In response to leaving an ultra-conservative religion, I switched to being an ultra-leftist socially.
Participated in a few nudist events, until I realized they were hypocritical.
Fully bought into Bruce Bagemihl's theory that because there's gay animals therefore gayness must be valued as a primary trail which is being selected for - which I now realize is completely & utterly wrong. Homosexuality is an outlier effect of the way sex gets set up in humans & in all animals which exhibit the treat. A side effect which is not being selected for. What's selected for is reproduction & survival, period. The machinery of biological evolution produces outliers. Doesn't meant the outliers have inherent value. Also doesn't mean they should be thrown off buildings, except for outright pedophiles and psychopaths.
Was a fat bastard living in my parent's basement. Developed cataracts. Had cataract surgery. No more thick glasses. Lost 110 pounds. Lived in Portland, Oregon for a year and a half. While in Portland visited a swingers event once. Didn't witness anything explicit & didn't participate. But I saw basically how they operate. And my assessment was that the way they organized themselves was strange & basically abusive.
After leaving Portland I married a socially conservative atheist from rural China with zero connection to the Book of Mormon, Bible, or Quran.
Took in via videos & lectures much of the work of the following people:
Christopher Hitchens
Richard Dawskins
Daniel Dennett
Steven Pinker
Ayaan Hirsi Ali
Events like 9/11 happened. The Denmark Mohamed cartoons & the stupid & crazy responses. Theo Van Gogh being killed after he released a film about how women in Islam are abused. The Charlie Hebdo massacre. The Garland, Texas Draw Mohamed contest which two Islamic people tried to shoot up.
I examined the response of the left, of the Democrat part of my father, of all the stations & people who liked & listened to & would have listened to. As an ex-Mormon, I examined who exactly supported drawing Mohamed. Who supports ex-Muslims? Who supports Muslims leaving Islam? It's not he left. It's not the Democrats. So, I realized I was wrong, about politics.
My socially conservative atheist wife helped me question the socially leftist paradigm I had bought into as an ex-Mormon with a chip on his shoulder about the lies of Mormonism. Daniel Dennett's talks about religion being a natural phenomenon helped also. Plus I had years of experience of engaging in first hand observational de facto studies of what the left has to offer socially. The nhilism of narcissism of gay culture. What being 'childfree' really means: slow motion suicide. That the left is in denial regarding the roots of homosexuality. And when I told an atheist group in Salt Lake that I liked Duck Dynasty, they booted me in a worse way than I ever experienced when leaving Mormonism. A very religious way of booting.
The children of breeders will inherit the Earth. The 'childfree' will not, and neither will the non-breeding gays.
In the past I used to hate Ayn Rand. Now I'm willing to check out some of her ideas, because mostly *only* libertarians support drawing Mohamed nowadays, and a very few lonely leftists who're mostly in denial regarding how the left has left them behind.
Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood, really was a eugenicist. And Christopher Hitchens has rightly pointed out that the unborn do have some rights. The left is wrong about these points also.
While a member of another leftist atheist group, Salt Lake Valley Atheists (now defunct), I observed how they kicked out of their midst a pro-life atheist woman. That experiencing was eye opening for me. Prior to that I thought that atheism equaled skepticism & reason. Now I realize it doesn't, not automatically. Leftist atheism is just another f-ing religion, a cult.
So I'm in recovery from leftistism, politically & socially.
The conservatism I embrace is not that of Glenn Beck, nor of establishment Republicans. I reject religios conservatism which seeks to shame people for masturbation & oral sex & an appreciation of art which falls into the nude and erotic spheres. There is no god who gets upset when gay people meet up. But, from an evolutionary perspective, they'd probably be happier if they lived straight lives.
Heresy, heresy, heresy, for your average leftist atheist who is just so upset with the conservative religions of their youths & etc.
Not throwing out the baby of good evolved highly valuable human values with the bath water of mysticism is a very hard task. Most just assume that 'without god everything is permitted.' But it's not. Not because there's no god, but because we're highly complex evolved moral animals. Evolved moral codes act as counter weights to also evolved proclivities which can lead to destructive dead ends.
Current people on my appreciation list:
Trump - what swayed me to his side after some initial skepticism:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DiA0P9iELAA
(Milo Y talking with Rubin)
Christopher Hitchens - provided initial key skepticism regarding the Clintons, and regarding some leftist doctrinal tenants. No one left to Lie To, book info.
Daniel Dennett - a much better philosopher than Sam Harris (Harris is I realize now, a myopic hack)
Steven Pinker - debunked the 'blank slate' concepts of social constructivists. Related videos, longer part 1, part 2. And a Ted talk.
Bosch Fawstin - an ex-Muslim who won the Draw Mohamed cartoon contest in Garland, Texas. Talk to Children of Jewish Holocaust Survival. Cartoon contest talk.
Mark Steyn - skepticism regarding the 'hockey stick' concept regarding climate change. Very honest regarding the facts & impacts of Islam.
Ayaan Hirsi Ali - an ex-Muslim truth teller. Colleague of Theo Van Gogh who got killed as noted above. She needs round the clock security, and in America only a conservative think tank would help pay for that security. Leftists consider her to be racist & bigoted - so this is a key reason also why I'm no longer a leftist.
All Enlightenment thinkers, and the Enlightenment-based founders of America.
Roger Stone - a long time truth teller who I've newly found
Dinesh D'Souza - a debate partner with Hitchens. Hitchens told the truth about the Clintons, and Dinesh has a great movie about the issue now. Dinesh may be wrong about whether a god exists, but he's right about the impacts of leftist atheism (very negative nhilistic impacts).
Rush - a valuable truth teller who for too long I discounted & hated. He was right all along. I was wrong for many years.
Sean Hannity - a guy with 20 years of real work experience who hasn't forgotten what it's like to be a regular working Joe. Truth teller.
Milo Yiannopoulos - a brash conservative gay Brit who helped me see the high utilitarian value to a Trump presidency.
Doug Mainwaring - a guy who came to his sanity and returned to be with & support his straight family, AKA his family. My uncle wasn't so lucky, and was a victim of the ultra-right and the ultra-left.

The best part of social conservatism advocates for family & life & children & what leftists derisively call 'breeding.'
Breeders will inherit the Earth. Problems with "recovery" from religion
http://jonathanshome.blogspot.com/2014/06/breeders-will-inherit-earth-problems.html
Really the children of breeders will inherit the Earth.
The worst part of religious-based 'conservatism' comes from religions which use fear & shame to teach children & adults to hate the evolved sexual systems in their bodies. But this 'conservatism' doesn't conserve anything. It just tends to churn out destructive ultra-right and ultra-left abusive extremists. The ultra-right religionists who stay in their religions & who continue teaching their children to hate their bodies & the fact that we're sexual animals. And the children who reflexively rebel, turning into non-reproductive outliers & 'childfree' wastrels.
Liberals have a strange alliance with ultra-right religious 'conservatives.' Leftists hate human nature just as much as the ultra-right religionists seems to. The combined human-nature-hating team consists of: Islam people, some Mormons, some Catholics, and leftists who a.) love Islam, and b.) hate the fact that human males are evolved to enjoy good looking women - and who hate 1.2 billion years of evolutionary sexual history just as much as the ultra-right religionists do. Leftists also hate the fact that humans are sexually dimorphic, and they actively ignore that we're not 'blank slates,' as Steven Pinker has commented on.
I'm for good women and men who put family & children first.
I'm proudly voting for Trump. He's my kind of Republican. Not a highly shaming human-nature-hating right-wing religionist, nor a human-nature-hating leftist.
Conserving through truth telling. Conserving through advocacy for family. Conversing through de facto advocacy that the Western Enlightenment continue - which also means conserving and protecting America & traditional American values.
Perhaps where I'm at is a socially moderate / conservative / pragmatic libertarian. But I strongly maintain that pot does rot your brain. And I don't dogmatically follow all libertarian principles. Libertarianism can be a de facto religion too, and I don't wish to join any religions.
I probably aspire to the conservatism Jonathan Haidt mentions, with more equal alliance to Care, Fairness, Liberty, Loyalty, Authority, and Sanctity. The Sanctity of life, not the Sanctity of sacred cows. Loyalty to the Enlightenment and Enlightenment principles. The Authority of the Rule of Law. Care, but not through the Dole because the Dole helps no one mostly. Fairness, but not 'social justice.' Fairness through a fairness of opportunity - but not opportunity at the cost of group rights hierarchies nor identity politics.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geocentric_model
Galileo helped correct as did others.
Newton wasn't wrong, but his concepts didn't include Relativity nor Quantum Mechanics nor Quantum field theory.
Jeffersonian Deism's clockwork universe with a Supreme Architect was the most reasonable one at the time, but in light of current observations such a stance can no longer be reasonably supported.
Questioning dominant paradigms is actually quite a useful activity. And questioning and sometimes lampooning sacred cows. It's essential.
Enlightenment Values are worth preserving. America is the best example of a country which exemplifies Enlightenment values.
Values not given by any god. But rather given by 13.8+ billion years of evolution by natural selection, and by our history & choices.
The religious right denies the facts of evolution, while living lives which are often in fact 'most true' to it.
The dogmatic de facto religious left claims to believe in evolution, while often living lives which are essentially traitorous to evolution.
"...Although the initial development of moral foundations theory focused on cultural differences, subsequent work with the theory has largely focused on political ideology. Various scholars have offered moral foundations theory as an explanation of differences among political progressives (liberals in the American sense), conservatives, and libertarians, and have suggested that it can explain variation in opinion on politically charged issues such as gay marriage and abortion. In particular, Haidt and fellow researchers have argued that progressives stress only two of the moral foundations (Care and Fairness) in their reasoning, and libertarians stress only two (Liberty and Fairness), while conservatives stress all six more equally."
from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moral_foundations_theory
Religion is a natural phenomenon, a fact which cuts several ways. Yes it's another reason for the mystical claims to be debunked. But it also means that fully natural evolved human moral codes of conduct are often couched within religious contexts.
Dennett on religion being natural:
https://youtu.be/56VAZNx8HBQ
...a fact also mostly fully lost on all dogmatic leftist atheists who still have a chip on their should regarding being lied to in their former conservative religions.
Being wrong can be a virtue, if we're willing to change our minds upon new evidence.
Was born an atheist.
At age 5 learned there was a sky god. Seemed strange to me, but ok.
At age 9 learned I was a sexual animal. Whodathunkit.
At age 11 learned that the sky god was more than a bit upset at my being a sexual animal. The natural man, and 11 year old kid coming of age, is an enemy to god after all, right?
Between the ages of 19 and 21 I spent 2 years making maps on 3x5 cards, taking pictures of sunsets, and avoiding a proper admission that I was a normal sexual animal.
While at BYU at the age of 23 I started questioning the shaming the sky god likes to do regarding being a normal sexual animal.
While at Weber State I learned about physics and evolution. What I learned filled a hole left by my increasing rejection of the mysticism learned in my youth.
At age 26 I fully rejected the mysticism, and I resigned from the religion of my youth (Mormonism).
Between the ages of 13 and 23 I was a socially (religiously) conservative Democrat, because my father was a somewhat rare Democrat within a sea of Republicans within his religion.
At 26 I became more socially liberal, an ultra-liberal essentially. Drafted an exit journal.
In response to leaving an ultra-conservative religion, I switched to being an ultra-leftist socially.
Participated in a few nudist events, until I realized they were hypocritical.
Fully bought into Bruce Bagemihl's theory that because there's gay animals therefore gayness must be valued as a primary trail which is being selected for - which I now realize is completely & utterly wrong. Homosexuality is an outlier effect of the way sex gets set up in humans & in all animals which exhibit the treat. A side effect which is not being selected for. What's selected for is reproduction & survival, period. The machinery of biological evolution produces outliers. Doesn't meant the outliers have inherent value. Also doesn't mean they should be thrown off buildings, except for outright pedophiles and psychopaths.
Was a fat bastard living in my parent's basement. Developed cataracts. Had cataract surgery. No more thick glasses. Lost 110 pounds. Lived in Portland, Oregon for a year and a half. While in Portland visited a swingers event once. Didn't witness anything explicit & didn't participate. But I saw basically how they operate. And my assessment was that the way they organized themselves was strange & basically abusive.
After leaving Portland I married a socially conservative atheist from rural China with zero connection to the Book of Mormon, Bible, or Quran.
Took in via videos & lectures much of the work of the following people:
Christopher Hitchens
Richard Dawskins
Daniel Dennett
Steven Pinker
Ayaan Hirsi Ali
Events like 9/11 happened. The Denmark Mohamed cartoons & the stupid & crazy responses. Theo Van Gogh being killed after he released a film about how women in Islam are abused. The Charlie Hebdo massacre. The Garland, Texas Draw Mohamed contest which two Islamic people tried to shoot up.
I examined the response of the left, of the Democrat part of my father, of all the stations & people who liked & listened to & would have listened to. As an ex-Mormon, I examined who exactly supported drawing Mohamed. Who supports ex-Muslims? Who supports Muslims leaving Islam? It's not he left. It's not the Democrats. So, I realized I was wrong, about politics.
My socially conservative atheist wife helped me question the socially leftist paradigm I had bought into as an ex-Mormon with a chip on his shoulder about the lies of Mormonism. Daniel Dennett's talks about religion being a natural phenomenon helped also. Plus I had years of experience of engaging in first hand observational de facto studies of what the left has to offer socially. The nhilism of narcissism of gay culture. What being 'childfree' really means: slow motion suicide. That the left is in denial regarding the roots of homosexuality. And when I told an atheist group in Salt Lake that I liked Duck Dynasty, they booted me in a worse way than I ever experienced when leaving Mormonism. A very religious way of booting.
The children of breeders will inherit the Earth. The 'childfree' will not, and neither will the non-breeding gays.
In the past I used to hate Ayn Rand. Now I'm willing to check out some of her ideas, because mostly *only* libertarians support drawing Mohamed nowadays, and a very few lonely leftists who're mostly in denial regarding how the left has left them behind.
Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood, really was a eugenicist. And Christopher Hitchens has rightly pointed out that the unborn do have some rights. The left is wrong about these points also.
While a member of another leftist atheist group, Salt Lake Valley Atheists (now defunct), I observed how they kicked out of their midst a pro-life atheist woman. That experiencing was eye opening for me. Prior to that I thought that atheism equaled skepticism & reason. Now I realize it doesn't, not automatically. Leftist atheism is just another f-ing religion, a cult.
So I'm in recovery from leftistism, politically & socially.
The conservatism I embrace is not that of Glenn Beck, nor of establishment Republicans. I reject religios conservatism which seeks to shame people for masturbation & oral sex & an appreciation of art which falls into the nude and erotic spheres. There is no god who gets upset when gay people meet up. But, from an evolutionary perspective, they'd probably be happier if they lived straight lives.
Heresy, heresy, heresy, for your average leftist atheist who is just so upset with the conservative religions of their youths & etc.
Not throwing out the baby of good evolved highly valuable human values with the bath water of mysticism is a very hard task. Most just assume that 'without god everything is permitted.' But it's not. Not because there's no god, but because we're highly complex evolved moral animals. Evolved moral codes act as counter weights to also evolved proclivities which can lead to destructive dead ends.

Where does social conservatism come from? From human nature.
Leftists seek to censor, again and again and again. They demand you either fall in line with their views, or that you shut up.
Here's some of my recent reflections on the pressing issues of the day, posted in a place where deletion is less likely (originally posted on Faisal Saeed Al Mutar's facebook page).
Here's some of my recent reflections on the pressing issues of the day, posted in a place where deletion is less likely (originally posted on Faisal Saeed Al Mutar's facebook page).
============
OMG there is no such think as an unbiased journalist. Some bias is useful, and the more I look at things I see that a rightist bias is more reasonable.
OMG there is no such think as an unbiased journalist. Some bias is useful, and the more I look at things I see that a rightist bias is more reasonable.
Pro-family.
Pro-life, as in human life, as in survival.
Pro-Enlightenment, generally speaking, de facto (even if a given person claims they just 'hate' 'hate' 'hate' Darwin's findings, they can still be de facto pro-Enlightenment but what they say and do).
Pro-the-truth.
In the wake of Hebdo, exactly who on this planet published the cartoons? Who, exactly? Leftist media? "Main stream" media, which is de facto leftist? N-O.
As an ex-Mormon I can see the plight of ex-Muslims, fighting to be heard. People like Bosch Fawstin, who face death threats in response to their life work, and there's many others: Ayaan, Maryam; and that's not to mention the atheist bloggers who've been killed.
Where does the truth lie? In being honest and true to our evolutionary history. Embracing enlightenment & science, but not throwing out the baby with the bath water.
Daniel Dennett's dangerous idea is that religion is a natural phenomenon. That fact cuts several ways. Fully natural & useful & evolved human values exist w/in religion - values evolved to help us avoid destructive behaviors. But religions can and do go overboard: the hijab; controls on dating & marriage - Islam goes *way* too far in the negative & controlling direction.
In the 90s I thought Mormonism was the fruit of all evil, but now I see Islam as a far bigger problem.
And an an ex-religionist it's hard to admit that some shaming is useful, from a utilitarian perspective. Yes there's damn good reasons not to get an STD and leave your family with no parent, for example. Letting it all hang out has real world downsides.
Finding a balance between the crazies on all sides is hard work. The left is too permissive. The right is too uptight.
Freedom of speech comes from a limited slice of human heritage & experience (ref. Mark Steyn). Most people don't value it - which is one reason why it must be valued by those of us who were either born into or adopted into the Western heritage.
Who stands up for free speech? Not "the left," generally speaking. Who published & who was willing to show the cartoons? There is your answer - the camp we should go to & join.

[In response to the above post a pro-gay-marriage person complained and stated that his gay "marriage" to his gay associate was an example of family values. I then drafted the following reply, a reply which resulted in a ban from FB for 24 hours. I don't think they liked my use of the tranny & femin*zi terms. But it's apparently quite true that there are strong institutional barriers against speaking one's mind & speaking the truth. Honest observations and honest opinions. True diversity encompasses a diversity of opinion (!), just just a diversity of skin tone.]

Control experiment: Visit human communities who're opposed to gay-advocacy & gay "marriage," communities which have zero connection to the Bible or the Quran. Ask what they think. Do their views have value? Where do their views come from?
Religion is a natural phenomenon as noted. Dismissing out of hand everything w/in religion simply because given values are couched w/in a religious context is wrong headed & foolish & unscientific and unhistorical.
Outliers exist. They are side effects of how evolution works, how sex gets set up in humans. Outliers are a side effect of selection, not a root cause for selection.
When the human animal can naturally produce children via outlier "sexual" activity, or via natural non-interventionary parthenogenesis, then outlier "sex" will no longer have an outlier status.
Gay people can be service oriented and they can help main-line non-outlier humans who can and do naturally reproduce. But outliers can also inappropriately assume that they should essentially steal away children into outlier culture.
Gay culture is no place for children. Gay men tend to not be faithful. Gay women don't have father-figures around at all.
Non-faithfulness is simply a way of life w/in gay culture. Also children have been hard coded (by evolution, by nature) to *need* to be raised in a household where a mother & father are present.
So re gayness: here's for contributors like Alan Turing, Stephen Fry, Douglas Murray, and so on. That's all fine and good. But I suggest not whitewashing problems with gay culture & so-called gay "marriage."
Yes gay people can hook up, but they cannot have true sex nor true & honest marriage. Why? Because sex only happens when two sexual animals engage in inherently reproductive activities with their sexual organs. Other activities with one's sexual organs are not, literally, and in any real meaningful scientific sense, sex. And as marriage has been a direct extension of inherently reproductive sex, AKA sex, there is only one type of true & honest & meaningful marriage.
It's not about civil rights. Outliers have every right to work to not be outliers. That's why I support secular groups like NARTH. My gay nephew certainly would benefit from association with such a group. He lives such a wastrel, petty, selfish, mostly meaningful life, it's amazing and sad. Seen this first hand. I also say how he & his friends readily accepted a convicted pedophile into their friend community after the pedo was released from prison.
Oh and then there was my gay (or "bi") uncle who died of AIDS: a victim of the abusively permissive glory hole culture of San Francisco, thereby leaving his straight normal family (AKA his family) with no father. My uncle was a victim of both the ultra-right and the ultra-left - a victim of the ping pong game that happens when people rebel in response to exposure to ultra-right religion.
Ultra-left religion is no "answer" to the cultural & religious right, nor is it a panacea.
In my infancy I drafted:

...a Mormon exist journal of a newbie ultra-leftist
Then when I grew up and tossed my ultra-leftist colored glasses I graduated to:

...where I am willing to examine truth from all sides, and where I take w/a grain of salt the dogmatic claims of all sides.
Gay "marriage" is not about families, it's about a basic denial of human nature, a denial of 1.2 billion years of sexual history, and ~13.82 billion years of evolutionary history. Leftists deny human nature all the time even more than righties do. At least rightist culture can help one avoid deadly STDs, the "childfree" life, a dead end life, a wastrel, a life as a lesbian femin*zi, and so on.
I am happy to have the gay people (AKA biological outliers) who contribute to society, and who help those of us who *are* inclined to naturally reproduce. But please don't steal away our kids into your sometimes-abusive culture. Gay culture is no place for kids.

Geezus is not my savior, nor do I believe in Mohamed. But socially conservative atheists from rural China can serve as a control group and a counter to leftist relativism & leftist denialism.
In as much as gay culture produces people like Douglas Murray, I say let's have a million of them. The more neocons the better, yes that's true. But please let's have less gays like my gay nephew & less gays like my gay uncle, please.
