Reflecting on the debate with Adam Kokesh and briefly replying to the hit piece written about me by a pathological skeptic, I give my response and launch into a lengthier critique of all modern revolutionary thought. This critique analyzes the assumptions of all modern liberal (nominalist) positions, from Marxism to anarchism to fascism.
Dean Arnold invited me back to Global Storyline discuss Eastern theology more in-depth in relation to the foundations that divide – from filioque to St. Gregory Palamas, to the issues of Augustine and Aquinas, we investigate the theological and philosophical issues that led to the reformation, enlightenment and western atheism.
This is the first half of a full talk which can be obtained by subscribing to JaysAnalysis at the PayPal links for 4.95 a month or 60.00 per year. In this talk, I give a basic introduction to classical metaphysics and theology based on St. John of Damascus’ Fount of Knowledge: The Philosophical Chapters. We cover the seminal terms and concepts and how they relate to forming a proper worldview and critical thinking, and how the modern world has robbed us of this inheritance.
I called into the Hoax Buster’s Call to discuss the crucial subject of how presuppositions and paradigms function as templates to interpret “facts.” There are no “brute facts” that come un-interpreted, outside of some contextual framework or worldview. In this discussion we investigate how the human mind categorizes the “data” or experience and how our governing assumptions about life and the world determine what the “facts” are, which constitute evidence and/or which are rejected and reinterpreted based on our beliefs (even when we presu
Given recent discussions and critiques, I thought a decent documentary on fractals would be beneficial. Simply put, the fractal is too complex to demonstrate without computer imagery. These complex forms, based on sets, demonstrate infinities are realities, and not merely a nominalist, “limiting factor” token symbol humans have “invented” or socially constructed. Despite the absurdity of the scientists in the documentary positing “natural selection” as the “creator” of fractals, the obvious truth is that they point directly to telos in nature, and thus God.
After numerous requests to deconstruct Stefan Molyneux and his popular online philosophy talks, I have acquiesced. This talk will also apply to the whole cadre of Internet atheists, from the anarchists to the Dawkinites. In this first free two hours, I show how his very philosophy is what led to the “collapse of western civilization” he constantly touts.
