I think her views on Conservatism and religion are particularly relevant today.<br/><br/>&#34;Speaking at the Ford Hall Forum in Boston in 1981, Rand discussed the Reagan administration and, particularly, the rise of militant religionists within “conservatism.” What explained her distaste for President Reagan? It was “the philosophy he hasn’t got. I do not mean that I disagree with his philosophy; I mean that he hasn’t any.” What he seemed to believe in was an “awful, populist, religionist hodgepodge of stale patriotism and folksy sentimentality.”<br/><br/>Militant religionists exist “in any period, in the dark, unventilated corners of history.” Their ascendancy, Rand thought, was symptomatic of a philosophical vacuum. The religionists had learned “to be arrogant by encountering no opposition.” Among these militant religionists she identified the self-proclaimed “Moral Majority” and the “pro-life” opponents of abortion.<br/><br/>The Reagan administration was culpable, in Rand’s view, for endorsing and supporting these religionists. Reagan supported some of their “ugliest demands, such as the anti-abortion issue and the ‘creationism’ issue.” Rand recoiled at the spectacle of an American president “endors[ing] the plain, crude, illiterate superstitions of the populace of the Middle Ages.”<br/><br/>Also worth re-reading Piekoff&#39;s &#34;The Ominous Parallels&#34; in light of Trump&#39;s reelection. <br/><br/>It&#39;s always struck me as weird that Conservatives in America often claim to be inspired by Rand.

It was not capitalism, an idea that leading figures in the movement shied away from even talking about. They wanted to preserve the status quo, a system with elements of freedom and welfare statism, which Rand called the “mixed economy.” What “conservatives” projected was a “guilty evasiveness,” an “apologetic timidity,” and, crucially in Rand’s analysis, a “peculiarly non-intellectual, non-philosophical attitude” in their positions.&#34; 2025-03-11T09:30:44Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsx2mqkktka2qpyc92w2gavyva9fv85s6zcvr9s0kvyqcg0mt6lexczyqgty4rc6hc9hahelpac03xrt4fkrnjah6sdnrw8zxwqfftexg6vcrdlmcl In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs9s42e87qw33kxh9w08ry4lj7yy3phykp7vs29husswe5p8s6jdugmjymcz'>nevent1q…ymcz</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>It&#39;s not a crisis per se; it&#39;s a crisis because our taxpayer funded welfare systems are predicated upon (roughly) current age demographics. <br/><br/>I&#39;m operating under the assumption that by the time I&#39;m of retirement age there will either be no state pension, or it will be very aggressively means tested. 2025-02-03T09:55:57Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsp6kspv0z2r7puqlzpccl3j35sjerega3hrytq5ztpzng2n5tu80szyqgty4rc6hc9hahelpac03xrt4fkrnjah6sdnrw8zxwqfftexg6vcgpm8n6 Gonna give up on this until this evening when I can do some proper research and/or write up a problem report.<br/><br/>#freebsd #framework #amd<br/> <img src="https://media.bsd.cafe/bsdmmedia01/media_attachments/files/113/823/910/631/841/825/original/04ac0d2cf360141c.jpg"> <br/> 2025-01-14T00:37:46Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs8u4g7xfxfvvhcdxxt60rwhg7hnm2q2fhnl9a92y6mewnsc6n4ncgzyqgty4rc6hc9hahelpac03xrt4fkrnjah6sdnrw8zxwqfftexg6vccqjusp Me, yesterday: FreeBSD on both my desktop and laptop are now sufficiently stable for me to retire my Linux dev partitions.<br/><br/>Me, late yesterday: Oooh, updated packages available.<br/><br/>Me, this morning: The latest amdgpu module causes my laptop screen to blank, and stay blank 😢 2025-01-13T22:58:55Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsp6v583g9vw8se4n2ave68v75v7znqs58c0gfz7ne4qljlw345y9czyqgty4rc6hc9hahelpac03xrt4fkrnjah6sdnrw8zxwqfftexg6vcrnttx6 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs98zlmjr6rzd5sdatgpcamqcyh48x7ufrs90gqa84afaz47xxlleghfdgqj'>nevent1q…dgqj</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Oh cool - how did you achieve that?
