As a result we’re beginning to see logic texts aimed at primary school. We’re also seeing a resurgence of critical thinking and similar college courses. The UK has a college credit test in logic/critical thinking.

The consider it pretty core in their long-term vision. For more see http://www.libertarianinternational.org the Libertarian International

The US is hypothetically a Christian nation, so it should follow the two laws of Christ: seek God in each and every action; and treat others as you treat your self. When you look at the wars the US has engaged in, at least since Vietnam, two of them were meant to procure control over the world’s Heroin trade, and the rest to control (steal) valuable resources, such as oil, minerals and labor. Follow the money trail supports this fact, and it is clearly in violation of the second law of Christ, both of which imply these wars are criminal.

When you look at the principle proponent of the Global Warming scam, and its proposed Carbon taxes, it is Al Gore, who stands to potentially make billions. Once again, this is the money trail pointing out the illegitimacy of this view point. When you consider that Al Gore is associated with the Clintons, and therefore Godless, fully supportive of NAFTA, selling nuclear secrets to the Chinese, etc…, then it is clear that he is consistently guilty of criminal behavior, so his participation in Global Warming must be criminal.

I’m a mid-career engineer in a successful entreprenurial tech business. In our line of work, the longest I can delude myself in any matter is about 3 days, but typically a day or less, before a mischievous, independent reality shows me wrong and itself right, and we march on from there. I have the privilege of getting the “this means that” kicked out of me by previously unknown reality almost daily. And the truth is almost always stranger and more wonderful than my fiction. But I had to make a fiction to start with, a postulated reality, because what we develop as we go along has never been. We make it up (fiction, illusion) as we go and as we wrestle with the men, money and materials (an old definition of engineering) something real happens; possibility crystalizes into a reality, a daily surprise. Not always a welcome one, but a surprise nonetheless.

Another luxury in our line of work is a lie between parties can only stand for a week, max, before the truth is exposed and someone has to admit, “my bad”.

Every mid-career engineer is a logicist; my colleagues unique philosphers each, from years of reality kicking the “this means that” out of them, too, battle hardened from cage matches with What Is and What Could Be. Truth and logic manifest from them and their work in ways that are uniquely them.

My kids go to public schools, awash in the flood of Official Story and Approved Opinion. But they’re being raised as the fifth generation in engineering and philosophy. Even they can see the lies, and taste the truth. And what’s worse, they wake up their peers. Reality is contagious.
