Murica Month | Party Spirit

On By Alex V. WeirIn Philosophy, UncategorizedLeave a comment

George Washington did not seem to truly belong to any particular party and cautioned about ‘party spirit’ in his farewell address. Is a democratic republic possible without robust parties? Please share your thoughts below.

Note: Federalism is the balancing act between state and federal power. It’s basically how the U.S. functions. So when I contrasted state’s rights and federalism I misspoke. I think it’s still intelligible enough.

The Grand Scaffold

On By Alex V. WeirIn Philosophy, UncategorizedLeave a comment

I think that I heard somebody refer to scriptire (lol…scripture…but scriptire is even better) and ‘Judeo-Christian’ values as the scaffold for our culture in a debate.

While I don’t entirely agree I found the sentiment useful.

Art, literature, and craft of all kind is a scaffold from which we build the great palace of human experience. To lose that as I somewhat fear we may be would be a grave error.

Linguistic Myopia | Art as Remedy (Vlog)

On By Alex V. WeirIn Philosophy, Psychology, UncategorizedLeave a comment

You can’t fix what you can’t describe…you can’t describe what you can’t see…A brief take on a problem I’ve been trying to pin down for years.

I propose that a lot of the depression, ennui, and disaffection is due to a poor descriptive capacity.

This was take five or so and I’m thinking of uploading the very first take where I give a bit more context (but also meandered a tad overlong.)
