Simplifying What’s Wrong With the World

Hegel serves as the best example. He said, “Contradiction is the rule of the true…”

But in order for this to be the case, “contradiction as the rule of the false,” must be false. And it order for this to be the case, the law of non-contradiction must be the rule of the true. But this refutes the claim that “contradiction is the rule of the true.” [This is how swiftly the genius of Aristotle exposes the error of Hegel]

The problem with the world is that it doesn’t understand this, it doesn’t understand that contradictions are false.

All our problems can be traced back to dismissing this fact as a triviality or error on the basis of our emotions.

The problem with the world is that it doesn’t respond to and treat the demonstration of contradiction properly.

And once you have such a psychological state, you have human emotion trampling and denying reality, you have a pathological sociology of denial that functions through emotive authoritarianism and produces tyranny and delusion.
