20250504 — Needs and Wants — Kurt’s Religion and Politics
The point of what I’m writing here is this. Typically, neither government, nor organizations of various types should be responsible for determining either my ability to produce, nor my needs. Add to this my belief that neither of the above should (generally) decide what amount of that which I produce I’m “allowed to” retain. Do…

20250503 — Welfare — Kurt’s Religion and Politics
That’s not to say many in both have no interest in producing quality, just that it’s a secondary impulse at best. Between this and the tendency for government to naturally migrate toward bureaucracy, it’s exceptionally uncommon for those in the public sector to work in either effective, or meaningful ways. It’s primarily on this basis…

20250427 — Life Advice — Kurt’s Religion and Politics
TLDR; What I’m trying to make plain is this. Those you view as having solid life advice have probably been through any number of hardships about which you’re likely to be blissfully unaware. To some extent, they are who they are as a result of those difficulties. You will likely go through such things as…

20250420 – Is it Autism? – Kurt’s Religion and Politics
Okay, coming back around to the primary subject of this article I’ll say this. I do believe there are people presently being diagnosed with Autism who probably “don’t qualify.” This is—in my mind—part of the reason diagnoses have increased. I believe there has also been an increase in the number of valid diagnoses because the…

20250419 – Bolshevism – Kurt’s Religion and Politics
Those who allow for that which sounds good as opposed to that which actually is good are unlikely to attain the success they seek to achieve in life. You can agree or not, that’s your choice. That you now understand where I stand is a sign I’ve achieved my objective.

20250412 – Utopia – Kurt’s Religion and Politics
So if after reading what I’ve said, you decide you still seek to achieve Utopia, I guess I’ve failed to bring you to a place of understanding and acceptance. For my part, the matter is a simple one. I do not speak of Utopia (except to deride that very bad and broken concept), for I…

20250329 – Gender Versus Sex – Kurt’s Religion and Politics
You may think it’s reasonable to use these ideas interchangeably. Permit me to strongly disagree with your doing so. In case you hadn’t noticed, what has happened here is, we’ve totally destroyed the idea of people using the idea of gender to describe themselves somehow being either the opposite sex, or “gender fluid.” Don’t like…

20250323 – On Philosophy – Kurt’s Religion and Politics
I’m not naive enough to believe there aren’t many folks out there uninterested in understanding and objectively considering that which I put out there. I don’t expect you to fail in that understanding either. I get too, there are those who are “emotionally invested” (whether as a function of “sunk cost fallacy” or not) in…

20250218 – On Parenting – Kurt’s Religion and Politics
The long and short of things is this. You can say there’s no “perfect formula” to dealing with children (and to some extent, you’re correct in that). Even so, there are things you can (and probably should) do if you want to be successful in doing the job of parenting. I think I’ve stated my…

20250217 Without the First, There is no Second – Kurt’s Religion and Politics
My simple conclusion is this. Having the courage to be the second or subsequent person to “get up and dance” is relatively impressive. Being the one who stands first though, is frankly even more so. You have to know you may get things thrown at you, people beating you or running you off, or worse.…
