When asked by a young man if he should seek to marry, Socrates answered him:
“By all means marry: if you get a good wife, you will be happy; if you get a bad one, you will become a philosopher.”

Please, join me in signing Sargon of Akkad’s petition to subject ‘social justice’ departments to objective, critical examination and not permitted to continue to brainwash our young ones into their cult:
The background:
Please, do keep in mind that all identity groups/politics are a tool of Cultural Marxism, and that Feminism and ‘Women’s Studies’ is just one of these: a tool designed to destroy our society by splintering us into groups which can then be played off against each other by the social engineers.
The way to fight identity politics and Cultural Marxism is through individualism.
Last year, at the 1st annual Essentials of Freedom conference, I spoke about the difference between speech limits being imposed from the outside of oneself versus from within oneself: I used the examples of my childhood in behind-the-iron-curtain Czechoslovakia (limits imposed from the outside) versus living in present-day Canada (limits imposed from within by political correctness).
This is why I found it particularly interesting to listen to the former President of the Czech Republic, Vaclav Klaus, making the same point!
He also used the example of the pre-velvet-revolution Czechoslovakia, but he contrasted it with the modern Czech Republic…sad, so sad…but an interesting speech nonetheless!
This is a perfect example of speech codes (Political Correctness) in action: it is doing what it has been designed to do.
And yes, PC speak and speech codes are not an accidental by-product of some peoples’ desire to be uber nice. No, not at all. This was a specifically designed tool of Cultural Marxism, one purpose of which (among others) was to get people to pay more attention to the way things were expressed in speech than the substance of what was being said.
If you are unfamiliar with Cultural Marxism, I recommend a guest-post here by CodeSlinger a while back.
Long story short: for way too many of our ‘intellectuals’, using the correct buzzwords will get them to completely miss the substance of the message…
The Oracle of Delphi called Socrates 'the wisest man' because he said:
"I know I know nothing!"
Of course, he only knew this because his wife, Xanthippe, told him so.
Every day!
