Making Manifest of What Was Hidden: Abortion and Infanticide

Recent ballyhoo about an attempt to justify “third trimester” abortion in USA provides us with ample opportunity to analyze the thing itself: to make explicit what is implicit to the act of abortion. In this video we argue that infanticide – a supposed “slippery slope” of the pro-abortion argument – is nothing but terminus, a logically explicated boundary of the abortion itself, into which abortion in the end has to resolve. We argue the point mainly from the stand point of open infanticide advocates, whom we already discussed on KT, and simple presumptions of traditional application of logic.

Power of Closed Mind

 “Open mindedness” … such a common place epithet. Yet, as with most common place epithets it conceals a more deeper cause within it. In this podcast we’ll shed some light on the fact that mind is by its very nature open and how this can become impediment when confronted with its ultimate opposite – systemic thinking; a veritable epitome of “closed mind”, encompassing phenomena from political correctness to Internet mediated intellectuality seemingly opposed to this prevailing ideology of our age. We attempt to demonstrate that conflict between the open and closed mind is in effect an activity of differentiating between Intellect and Ego as metaphysical realities.

Silent Master: Political Correctness and Inner Submission

It is more or less usual procedure to observe political correctness from the point of view of someone rejecting it – looking from the outside upon this peculiar edifice and attempting to describe and explain it. However this always seems to be not completely satisfactory. There’s always a sense of some point being missed.

Well, here we’ll attempt something different: show how PC acts upon us from the standpoint of one submitting to it and suffering its coercive power. From this angle, some quite worrisome insights become apparent, chief one of them being a potential of PC to act intimately – intrinsically – i.e. invisibly upon the will itself, changing not only actions and thoughts, but very faculties of man that act or think.

From Immigrants to Migrants: Spell of Misspelling

What’s the difference between immigrant and migrant? Well, for one thing, no one ever heard about birds immigration while birds migration is a quite natural phenomenon. In this podcast we point out subtle shifts of meaning, such as this, in the political terminology, symptomatic in sustainable development programmes, one of which is by now, for mostly the wrong reasons, notorious UN’s Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration, about to be presented for signing on behalf of UN member states on December, 11. in Morocco.

Luminar Podcast: From Illiteracy to Illusion

From Atlantic to Black Sea via Adriatic, we bring you another Luminar Podcat hosted by Deirdre and joined by Mihai and yours truly. Wide range of subjects are covered – from rampaging illiteracy amongst the young to the answer to question: how illusion can be real. In the meantime, we don’t neglect to address standard KT subjects: memes and mass scale Internet based occultism, inversion of traditional metaphysical notions, synchronicity and few other light talking points.

Words and Time

Speaking about the origins of all is a daunting task, impossible by some accounts. However, speaking about the origins of speaking itself is, supposedly, quite doable. In this podcast we’ll put this assumption to the test. We focus on the temporal dimension of language in its original and deepest form, i.e. language as a tool of metaphysics, and claim that this dimension is the eternal past – that behind which we can never step, whether in thought or word. Consequently, we discuss subjects stemming from this insight: nature of Tradition, words of unknown origin but perfectly nuanced meaning, impossibility of fundamentally new beginnings, errors of modern philosophy, Science Fiction and enduring illusion of human creativity. (Paypalable bonus: you get to learn some Croatian in the process)

The Truth and its Shadow: Rise of Superficial Intelligence

To understand something “on the level of words” is fairly common phrase used to denote someone’s superficiality. However, there’s more depth to superficiality than initially meets the eye. In this podcast we’ll point out some of the depths of what we previously dubbed, in Plato’s phrase, skiagraphia or “shadow-drawing”; a mental equivalent of drawing the shadow of the image on plane surface to add to it the illusion of depth. We’ll point out, in our common “metaphysician next door” manner, how this attitude drives people to cut themselves off, not only from the realities of the world, but, more perniciously, of their very selves too.

So, it is a bit obsolete to wail and grumble about the dangers of supposed rise of the robotic Artificial Intelligence, when we are already dealing with the real and present danger of supremacy of the Superficial Intelligence

Words, Bywords and Apparent Truths: Danger of Anachronisms and How to Combat Them

The problem of anachronisms is very well known, yet not seldom perpetuated, in the scholarly circles. Yet, what influence do they exercise on our every day living and do they solely represent the errors of academics?

In this podcast we address the pressing issue of conflating meanings of the words that give birth to the worst form of lie – apparent truth.
