If People Can Make You Believe the Illogical, They Can Make You Do the Unthinkable

“War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.” ― George Orwell, 1984 George Orwell’s vision of Hell on Earth was a totalitarian government mandating irrationality—insanity, really. As a fan of logic, I have to admit I find it pretty terrifying myself. We aren’t quite to the point of the government brainwashing people to think […]

Critique of ‘Woke Racism’ by John McWhorter

I enjoyed Professor John McWhorter’s lectures on the history of language and was very interested to read what he had to write about the modern social justice burlesque known as anti-racism.
