If he can’t understand the term true north, I sure hope
he isn’t navigating anything.

Leftist moles deserve to be thrown on the bonfire of
Marxist writings along with every unworkable premise
they preach.

I’ve never read it. I am not a big Ayn Rand follower, but there are certainly worse philosophers. There are good things, but in my view, if you do not start with the Creator, you cannot possibly see the big picture. Reason is futile if you from the start eliminate God.

When I was in grad school, I walked past another student carrying a book with the title, Black Logic. I remember thinking, “WTF?”

If the story tellers - religion, government, education, and media - keep at it, Whitey McCracker-Honkey will be extinct through genocide by those who aren’t because they’ll keep telling telling the non-whites to do so.

Philosophy as it examines reason, logic, and the like, is predominantly a gift of Western Civilization, which in turn tends to be identified as a white, male emanation, although it incorporates people of many nations. It’s Western Civilization that gives these people fits. “Besides:

Monotheism
Code of Laws
Philosophy
Mathematics
Literacy
Chemistry
Physics
Modern Medicine
Sanitation
Electricity
Transportation
Electronics
Computers and
Space Travel

What has Western Civilization ever done for the world?”

WHAT the hell WAS that? What the HELL WAS THAT? WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT? What the hell was...that?

Sadly, after twenty-one years of close contact, I understood every word spoken and point that was made. As to the subject of the post I believe the gentleman has had far too much to think.

“No, I take that back. I am honored to be a college professor. I am ashamed that there are so many STUPID IDIOTS also calling themselves college professors.”

Academia has its rot, like everything else in this intellectually challenged age.

This is completely true.

And, it has given even the poorest of us access to wealth, knowledge, and longevity that even the most wealthy and powerful of the past could not even imagine.

So...what have other cultures done for me lately? Not too damned much.

I’d guess that due to his probable diet of kelp and grass clippings, he would not taste very good either.

Well of course “Pure Reason” is racist seeing how logic is the enemy of the Left. Next we will be told it is homophobic as well.

“Overpaid professors with cushy jobs and tenure is a white male construct.”

Mao had just the right idea for this particular class of idiot - re-education camps.

The term "German engineering" is an advertising slogan rightly intended to convey exacting standards and the utmost quality. Aside from a few venues (such as Free Republic where PC is nearly nil), using the term "African Engineering" would result in banishment since it's perceived to be a racial slur. Think also of a term ending in "-rigged" oft-used in a similar manner.

A philosophy and religion professor....

Unreasonable as to why he should not be the student and his students his professors.

The biggest threats to America aren’t the ghettos, aren’t the illegals, aren’t the Middle East, and aren’t Islam. The biggest threat to this country are those guilty white leftists and their white privilege bullschiessen theories out of academia. These neo-fascists are worse than anything the Communists this to this country in the Cold War.

“I think that what modern philosophers call ‘pure’ reason — the Cartesian ego cogito and Kant’s transcendental consciousness

Kant's view of reason and reality is a disintegrated mode of thought that has lead to libtard emotionalistic thinking.Reason is the process that starts with observations and perceptions, which are integrated by an objective process into objective concepts, which are integrated into objective abstract principles by the method of logic.These principles become objective knowledge,truth, and values.Reason does not belong only to whites. It is man's means of survival and knowledge, and makes man different in kind from animals.

“Actually that is a correct reading so far as it goes but is not complete. The Greeks who got into reason pretty deeply in at least one strand of their philosophizing predated white male Christian Europeans by a few centuries and their philosophy informed white European Male reason to a large extent. I guess they could be white male European pre-Christians

It is why white male Europeans developed Western Civilization and made it rich in a historically very short time. No other demographic has accomplished anything close to that. “

The other group that moved the process along, at least in the West were the (As C.S. Lewis called them) those bearded, platitude muttering Asiatic Jews. They did not use reason per se but bequeathed a system of morality to us that fits within the rational framework DISCOVERED by the Greeks

They were not white either.

I don’t think nice will win this “debate”. I think we are in a cultural fight for our very life/existence. Yet we still have many who can’t see that. Once 20% to 25% do understand then it’s going to be game on and truly brutal. Brutal but necesary.

Well we know we deal with a lot of irrational people out there. I guess they are just confirming it.
