Belief in God is rational. Everything has a cause. So unless there is a first cause, then you would have an infinite regress. And then nothing could exist. Therefore there must be a first cause. Therefore God, the first cause, exists. QED.

The white race is on a race towards mass suicide. Sometimes self defense is the only defense.
It occurred to me that WWII was also a kind of attempt to stamp out the USA and Democracy. I mean to say that the USA was smack in the middle between Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan. So I am thinking that Japan and Germany must have been planning on coming in from both sides and taking over.
So now it seems there is a similar attempt to take over. But this time the enemies are in the gates, not at the gates.
How did the situation get so dire? One one hand there seems to be the lemming effect, the white race is on a race towards mass suicide.
While on one hand I was always profoundly grateful for being born in the USA. Yet right in the USA itself I noticed there were lots of people that had a profound hatred of everything American. Whatever the USA has done in history or today to them was always wrong. And they will side with any enemy of the USA.
So what is a possibility?
The answer I think can be seen in the American War of Independence, when Americans took up arms to protect themselves and their homes. Sometimes self defense is the only defense. [Especially now that the police simply find a place to park outside the local donut shop and wait out their shift.]
So if Antifa stand in front of your car to stop you, step on the gas and accelerate.

So let me ask why is he the only modern day philosopher that has an inkling on common sense? Is it like Sandra Lehman told me that Philosophy removes common sense from people?
Or like Elon Musk that it is simply German philosophy? Who knows?
In any case, at one point when I realized I was going to have to spend some time in university and try to do something about making a living I decided to go into Physics,-- and not Philosophy.
The actual reason was the Rav Nahman actually warned against philosophy I I took that to heart and choose something else.

An employee has no law of getting less that what his labor is worth. [Rambam Laws of Acquisition 13]. That is on most things you buy, if they are marked up from their market value there is a law of אונאה That is if a 1/5 the money goes back to the buyer. If more than 1/5 the whole deal is off.
But with an employee there is no such law because an employee is bought for the time. [That is he is a slave for the time period that he is being hired for.
This goes to show that there is nothing particularly different from being a slave and being an employee. The only difference is the employee when the term of his employment is over he is no longer owned.
So was the Civil War really worth going into for this. Any employee has a similar dilemma as a slave. work or do not eat. Children are also in a similar situation. They must listen to their parents. They have no choice in the matter.

I saw something interesting about Elon Musk --that a good deal of his motivation for making Space X and the Tesla car was his question in college when he asked himself what can I do to help humanity.
Well that sort of lit a light for me in that I also have a few ideas that I believe would be great for humanity.
One is learning fast. That is too many people shy away from Math and Physics because they think they are too hard. They lack the confidence that by just saying the words and going on that they will understand. So I want to bring this idea to the attention of people. [That would also have a side benefit that when people would know what real science is they will throw out all the pseudo sciences like the Social Studies and humanities departments of the universities.
This idea is from the gemara Shabat [I think around page 63] and brought in books of Musar. [e.g. אורחות צדיקים]
Another great idea is talking with God in one's own language.
Another idea is saying the truth always which also people do not know how this provides a kind of protective shield around one.
[As for the political situation I have little to say but Trust in God.]
I should add that I see the coming civil war as the end of civilization so I have to explain that Trust in God does not mean to do nothing. Rather it means not to do "over efforts" "ריבוי השתדלות". It simply mean to trust and God and take the basic necessary steps to protect yourself. So for example if Antifa stand in the way of your car to stop you, step on the gas and accelerate. That is a simple basic logical step of self preservation. Also get gun skills.

w99 G Minor edited It usually takes me a lot of time to get the instruments right, after I have gotten the basic music line down. Plus corrections as to the music line often come only after I have thought about it for a while. So there still might be more corrections that need to be done. [w99 in midi format]
