  1. A quotation from Shaw

    All censorships exist to prevent any one from challenging current conceptions and existing institutions. All progress is initiated by challenging current conceptions, and executed by supplanting existing institutions. Consequently the first condition of progress is the removal of censorships.

    George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950) Irish playwright and critic
    Mrs. Warren’s Profession, Preface (1893)

  6. Men insist most vehemently upon their certainties when their hold upon them has been shaken. Frantic orthodoxy is a method for obscuring doubt.

  11. A quotation from Emerson

    Whoso would be a man, must be a nonconformist. He who would gather immortal palms must not be hindered by the name of goodness, but must explore if it be goodness. Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own mind.

    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882) American essayist, lecturer, poet
    Essay (1841), “Self-Reliance,” Essays: First Series, No. 2

  12. Tomorrow will be the end of my first full participation in #orthodox great lent fast. It has been eventful, hard, long, and intense all that the same time. I can't express how deep #orthodoxy is. I am so glad to be a part of it.

  16. Just arrived: this important book is based on conferences at Cambridge and Oxford a couple years ago. My own piece is on how the concept of the Katechon is being utilized by Alexander Dugin to justify, legitimate, and sanctify Russia’s imperial war of aggression. #Russia #war #Ukraine #Dugin #politicaltheology #philosophy #theology #Christianity #orthodoxy #CarlSchmitt dustinjbyrd.org

  17. A quotation from Robert Ingersoll

    Is it desirable that all should be exactly alike in their religious convictions? Is any such thing possible? Do we not know that there are no two persons alike in the whole world? No two, trees, no two leaves, no two anythings that are alike? Infinite diversity is the law. Religion tries to force all minds into one mould. Knowing that all cannot believe, the church endeavors to make all say they believe. She longs for the unity of hypocrisy, and detests the splendid diversity of individuality and freedom.

    Robert Green Ingersoll (1833-1899) American lawyer, agnostic, orator
    Lecture (1873-12) “Individuality,” Chicago Free Religious Society

  20. "In the late 19th and early 20th century, the majority of Haredi #Jews in Palestine and around the world opposed Zionism and the establishment of the state of Israel. […]. Many have come to accommodate the state’s existence, moving further to the right and, in recent years, embracing the most radical forms of territorial maximalism."
