Originally published on The Strategic Culture Foundation This is the 2nd of a five part series. Part one ‘On the Cult of Aristotle’ can be accessed here. In his 1689 Essay on Human Understanding, the British empiricist John Locke (1632-1704) revived Aristotle’s theory of the blank slate and in so doing defended his notion that slavery was an immutable part of the universe. Locke’s thesis that slaves could be legally considered mere “property” was enshrined in his drafting of the constitution for Carolina and also justified
Consider that The Tao influenced Confucius who structuralized, formalized a system into a political, ethical ‘governmental friend’. Lao Tzu fits more the archetype of AnarchoLiberterian today, more Leibniz.
Intellectually, there's almost nothing I like better than to have a cherished belief upended.
To the guy who said, 'What is the point?' I think the link between our current oligarchic and non-rational oppressors to the anti human yeoman-hating slavers in the South, to the arguably demonic British Crown, over and against the pro-human, pro-creative forces of Team Logos (Liebniz' belief in Reason) shows that this struggle has been going on for thousands of years.
Slavers gonna slave.
And a movement based on nothing but the latest perturbations of simpleton rednecks (Q, AlexJ, outrage porn) without roots in Reality and Reason, is IMHO doomed.
So many good points in here, about how to do science, a link between Liberty and mathematics, Liebniz'/Gauss as working for the common good ...
What was the point ? While we know these toxic roots source much of today's Globalists' attitudes, study of distant perverted cretins really does not help us in today's here and now. We need real problem solving, not bleeting about the origins of modern Satanic Zionism.

Impressive. Loved it. Recognized a lot of the names (been at university as a science student a long time + 32 yrs ; ) Thanks Matthew.
Wow.
Completely blown away.

17 minutes wasted time.
Absolutely fascinating.
