Notes From The Field – Book 1:1

For some time now I’ve carried Field Notes notebooks with me to write down and record various thoughts when I have them. It is something I wanted to become habit-forming and enjoyable over time. I like to write and sometimes jotting down a quick note is enough. I think that in the computer age many people’s hand-writing has suffered, mine included. I’ve always thought there was something more beneficial to writing things down and recently Andrew Huberman of Stanford confirmed this:

I am not claiming there is anything wonderful, or original, or ground-breaking, in any of these thoughts and musings. On the contrary, sometimes they are the product of those boring moments when the mind wanders. There is no organization to them although the themes at times seem common. I will record them here in the way they were first written, only correcting any grammatical and punctuation errors. 

Each completed book of notes is too much for one blog post, so most notebooks, once filled, will be broken up into three or four parts and posted over time.

-The promotion of the blurring of gender lines is a sure sign that a society is on the decline. When effeminate men and masculine women are celebrated, a culture cannot withstand that kind of assault.

-Christianity is the only worldview with explanatory power about the true nature of man.

-Covid was real, but the least talked about aspect of it was the fear psyop run by the government on its citizens. Many will never recover from having their brains destroyed by the crippling fear they perpetrated.

-You can never convince an emotional thinker that they are irrational. Dialectic and logic will be lost on them.

-Modern society is an exercise in the loss of meaning: empty lives filling themselves with those things that can only lead to despair.

-Modern liberalism destroys everything it touches. It does not build. It does not create. It demolishes all that is good, beautiful, and true.

-Alcohol is the third most addictive drug behind heroin and cocaine. Most people drink because they are weak and don’t understand the danger. We wouldn’t hang out with friends and shoot heroin, but we joyfully drink with friends and take them further down the road to addiction. Casual drinkers are complicit in society’s alcoholism problem.

-Atheism is incoherent. It is the most irrational belief system. It is a positive belief in spite of the protests to the contrary.

-I will no longer use the word “trans” for that lends credibility to the delusion. Female impersonator and male impersonator is how we should refer to those suffering from this mental affliction.

-Sin has two purposes: 1) it reveals us for who we are, and damns us, or 2) it sends us head long to the foot of the cross of Christ.

-Despair is a powerful word, and an even more powerful emotion.

-Utah and Arizona are as close to heaven on earth as one can get. Pure, unimaginable beauty.

-Politics is all about creating illusions. There is no longer any care for people or wanting what is best for them. It’s the illusion of care, and wholly corrupt.

-A godless culture will be an anxious, fearful, and nihilistic society that can only lead its people further into emptiness and ruin.

-Christianity is true. It is the only worldview or philosophy that can properly explain the world. Its explanatory power about the nature of man is unparalleled.

-There is no such thing as “free speech.” It is just an alternating set of “blasphemy laws” determined by those in power.

-The rejection of the Christian sexual ethic is at the root of almost every social ill in the world.

-Alcohol is the social elixir of the weak and boring. The need for a social drug is the hallmark of a decaying society.

-Christmas devoid of Christ is meaningless. For the world it is merely a time to eat, drink, and be merry; another time of fleeting pleasures with no lasting significance.

-War is the greatest evil in the world. That some agitate for it and promote it, is the embodiment of evil Satanic influence over the hearts of men.

-There is no greater blessing a person can have than loving and supportive parents.

-The sinful nature is the greatest impediment to goodness.

-The brighter the light, the more thorough the vanquishment of darkness seems.

-Politics is the art of façade. Nothing in the world is as it seems.

-I live every day with both the fear and regret that I have failed my children.

-Christmas is hope. It’s a remembrance that all will be well. Eventually.

-A person who lacks discipline and purpose will distract themselves with pleasure.

-I will always live with certain regrets. They are their own punishments.

-Watching children grow, mature, and build their own lives, is both gratifying and sorrowful. They are the greatest earthly blessing a man can have.

-To argue for right or wrong on any issue is a philosophical admission that God exists. There can be no objective delineation between good and evil without an ultimate arbiter of truth and goodness that defines the categories.

-“To save the life of the mother” is one of the greatest lies of the pro abortion crowd. Every doctor knows this is never a necessity. Abortion is sanctioned to preserve the “lifestyle” of the mother and nothing more. It is a barbaric choice of convenience in a decadent, disposable society.

-Abortion is the greatest evil of the modern age. There is no close second.

-If I could go back, I would change so much. Regrets are with you always.

-Atheistic belief is just ignorant narcissism.

-The theory of evolution by natural selection is mathematically impossible. There is nowhere near enough time available for the number of required mutations. The theory is false. Never trust the “science.”

-The theory of evolution exists only so that man can have an excuse to reject God and try to free himself from the guilt. It is absurd on its face and entirely untenable as a working theory of origins.

-For one to make a supposed, rational defence of atheism, one must adopt Christian categories. It is highly derivative and cannot logically stand on its own as a coherent worldview.

-Everyone should experience marriage. No one should experience divorce.

-You don’t have to be an alcoholic to have a drinking problem. Anyone who drinks regularly, or every time they go out, has a problem. Alcohol is an alluring and highly addictive drug.

-The youth of today are weak and lead mostly meaningless, hedonistic lives. That is why they have turned en masse to drugs and alcohol. They have lost their ability to live with purpose. Substance use is the sign of an empty life.

-To not speak up and speak out against evil is to be complicit in it. 

-Abortion is Satanic. The devil is a merchant of death and it’s in abortion clinics where some of his most prolific work is done.

-The financial system is set up in such a way as to syphon money from the government and average taxpayer into the banks and institutions of the elite. The average person doesn’t stand a chance.

-Divorce embodies every ugliness of the human condition.

-As I age, I doubt myself more and fear the world less.
