The Western intellectual tradition maintained a coherent structure for centuries. It unified scholars across disciplines within a shared framework of truth-seeking. The Enlightenment reinforced this unity by embedding within universities the assumption that both the sciences and the humanities pursued a common goal: the discovery of the true, the good,…
Palantir and the Language of Creation: A Review of “The Technological Republic.” In the beginning, and recurrently, the Earth is a formless void. God declares, “Let there be light,” and the world starts to articulate. Light is separated from darkness, sky from water, land from sea. Plants appear on…
During my time at Southern Methodist University, I had the privilege of studying under Herbert Simon, the polymath whose work on decision theory shaped Cold War strategic thinking.

In order to understand the magnitude of the position in which we find ourselves, we must first understand the magnitude of the deception and the machinery. We must look back at all of the components and contributing factors that may have seemed unrelated, but which we can see today…

The targets seem to be the “less loyal” among the current tribe of administration appointees and selected leftovers and hangers-on from the Biden regime. The shuffling of leaker-by accident NatSec…
I represent the base and when I’m frustrated and upset over the direction of things, you better be clear, the base is not happy. I campaigned for no more foreign wars. And now we are supposedly on the verge of going to war with Iran. I don’t think we…
