2 + 2 = 4

My blog gets its name from 1984, where Orwell painted perhaps one of the most fundamental necessities to freedom. "Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four." Why is this important? Because it encompasses three necessities to freedom - the freedom to think the truth, to speak the truth, and to act on the truth.

If we are not free to make connections to arrive at the truth, then how can we claim existence at all? If we cannot trust the products of our senses, cannot rely on science, cannot question the establishment, then what have our lives become? How can one understand anything, for example, in a world where every answer is considered possible, and there are no wrong answers to questions, only different perspectives. Well, here's what I have to say: the freedom to be wrong is worthless without the freedom to be correct.

In this blog, I will be addressing topics concerning four areas: theism/atheism, statism/anarchy, individualism/collectivism, and Objective (causal) Morality/Relative (cultural) and Subjective (acausal personal) Morality. I hope that my thoughts on these issues can be of help to some people, though I imagine that most of the population disagrees with my positions. But just because the majority has been convinced that 2 + 2 = 5, doesn't mean that I will silence my protests. I will continue to fight for 4 that I may remain free, and that I may inspire others to speak for the truth, and to act on it.
