Maxims Summer 2024

Maxim 1: It’s better to suffer and have done no wrong, than to live luxuriously over the bodies of those you’ve slain.

Maxim 2: Some things are mistakes in the world’s eyes, but the right decision in God’s.

Maxim 3: [A] completely compassionate world would quickly lose all its compassion.

Maxim 4: I don't need therapy: I need people to stop acting like fools.

Maxim 5: The corporate world destroyed democracy, because it shredded the familial tie.

Maxim 6: To have democracy, one must need close knit families, close knit churches, the morality of Christ, and consistent reading habits.

Maxim 7: My audience will come when people wake up from this stupor and need real answers.

Maxim 8: It’s only real if your phone captures it. Imagine living life through a camera lens?

Maxim 9: The most evil people I meet, are most definitely not Christian.

Maxim 10: Dogs need spanked. Just like children. Or they’ll wittle in the house and cause mischief their entire adult lives.

Maxim 11: Morals haven’t changed. What God commands to death, puts a soul in eternal torment and chains, unless they repent. Even in this life they’ll have misery.

Maxim 12: Look over your life, see your faults, and ask God to change your habits. He will eventually give you righteousness, and all your sin will cease.

Maxim 13: It’s all true, and gritty. The Bible is XXX rated morality, what people really do, and why, and customarily, one wouldn’t read certain books until they came of age.

Maxim 14: [T]he stick is a boy's best toy. It develops imagination for later deep learning.

Maxim 15: Pythagoras said, "Covet nothing which a man can take from you," and also, "Your only true possession in life is your learning."

Maxim 16: I am a sheep. But also wise as a serpent; made innocent as a dove.

Maxim 17: If someone in the future said that I didn't like reading, they'd be correct. But, I do like thinking and feeling, so the best thoughts and feelings are found in literature.

Maxim 18: Mercy, Love and Death are the three great themes of literature. Peace being greater still.

Maxim 19: As a poet, you paint with broad strokes. As a pedant, you zero in on a poet's fault.

Maxim 20: It seems the modern person wants a precise definition rather than the right definition.

Maxim 21: Semantics is a game played by philosophers. The Sage speaks in a common language.

Maxim 22: A good rule of thumb in debate, is if you feel yourself getting agitated, you probably don't understand the point they're making, or are losing.

Maxim 23: The Olympics are about the best, not about branding. May all things be so pure.

Maxim 24: Unless you can break the Laws of Thermodynamics in our current understanding, I don't think we're ever leaving this planet.

Maxim 25: This world is absurd. The point of God’s law is to establish judgment on Earth, but where people hate it, there can be none.

Maxim 26: You have to assume the good in people, sometimes. Society hinges on that belief.

Maxim 27: A book only needs legible font and something worth saying.

Maxim 28: Some of my most prized books in my collection have the least artful covers.

Maxim 29: God's not a Genie, who will give you every literal thing you asked for, even if it means hurting you. He's able to satisfy infinitely above and beyond every petition you've ever made.

Maxim 30: It’s not Religion’s fault bad things happen.

Maxim 31: You see the same bloodthirst in secular regimes, trying to cleans their people's ideology, as in religious regimes.

Maxim 32: True Christianity frees your mind: it doesn't shackle it.

Maxim 33: It’s just the way ideology works. As soon as someone has any fixed belief, they can become radicalized.

Maxim 34: You want to marry a Wealhtheow and not a Guinevere. She won't bat an eyelash at Beowulf, and will balm you in bed as you suffer. Not elope with Lancelot at your darkest hour.

Maxim 35: "I was a C average student, bro. But, I used my education wisely. You don't have to play the game, just get something right out of it."

Maxim 36:  You can't be a modernist, and understand anything. You have to look at things through their context.

Maxim 37: Bitterness has deep roots. But, so does charity, peace and joy.

Maxim 38: My philosophy is epiphany.

Maxim 39:  It's deeply rooted in human psychology, homosexuality is destructive and brings out traits of narcissism, the same way concupiscence does. That's why the Bible's written the way it is.

Maxim 40: The Old and New Testaments, and the Apostolic Tradition all condemn homosexuality. And we see why at this present hour.

Maxim 41: My verse is like The Sweetest Corn and Fresh Lima Beans. Repulsive to many, but to those acquainted with it, a tasty morsel.

Maxim 42: [I]f you want us to be a bunch of monkeys with nuclear weapons have at it, but I want more.

Maxim 43: If your argument is, "Well Jesus could have just forgiven all [my] sins," maybe He wanted to make a way to be sure you truly want to be forgiven.

Maxim 44: Why is consent the magic word, that gives you a free pass on every horrible deed imaginable?

Maxim 45: A square and circle are fundamentally different numbers.

Maxim 46: [T]he country shouldn’t have shut down. Better to live free and die, than live a slave in safety.

Maxim 47: There was a tribe in Africa, given Laptops and the internet. They gave them back. If only we all could be so wise.

Maxim 48: Mental Asylums actually make the diseases far worse. The best thing for any mental illness is rest, relationships and activity. Not danger, isolation and sedentariness.

Maxim 49: By nature of communication, anything is evidence, if it logically pieces things together in a coherent fashion.

Maxim 50: All that’s needed is compensation for work, and that to the point where you have a little less than what will immediately get you everything you want.

Maxim 51: You don’t have to be an expert to have a valid thought or opinion. Truth isn’t determined by a degree, but can be found by all and anyone looking for it.

Maxim 52: Unfortunately, we have tons of flies and not bees, so marketing honey is almost impossible compared to shit.

Maxim 53: For me, the internet is my giant encyclopedia of everything that helps me understand my book. Internet is useful for one thing, and that’s a repository for knowledge.

Maxim 54: Christianity has become very eccentric. That's why people don't believe in it.

Maxim 55: A thing does not have to be understood for it to be evidence.

Maxim 56: The casuistry of modernists made the word "Texture" for poetry, and all I get out of it, is that it's how a poem looks on the paper.

Maxim 57: The first foods that built society, were Dairy, Beer and Bread. 

Maxim 58: From about the time of the Modernists, the academic consensus was a rebellion against form.

Maxim 59: Well, if you play the fool, you don't achieve anything but foolishness.

Maxim 60: The peak of wisdom is to enjoy your labor, and indulge in the love you have with whomever you share a life with.

Maxim 61: The peak of folly is to hate to work, and hate those whom you share a life with.

Maxim 62: Happiness does not equate to virtue.

Maxim 63: You can be extremely happy doing evil. Not at peace, not with joy, not with love... but happy. It's the disgusting fact, and what society is being built to do.

Maxim 64: If you try to silence me, that means I beat your argument.

 Maxim 65: That's pretty much the problem with humanity in a nutshell. A guy's research might get scalped. Coincidentally, a similar fact almost lost us the Blue LED light, because it seemed like too high a risk.

Maxim 66: You cannot save yourself, except to lay down and let Christ shoulder you as His burden.

Maxim 67: Rousseau was too much of a radical to come up with anything right.

Maxim 68: Rousseau states learning brought ruin to Rome and Greece, as he saw Europe embroiled in its World War. I have some sympathies, but some reservations, when today learning is deep, but never the right kind---but Pythagoras regenerated Greece and Christ Rome.

Maxim 69: There is good learning and bad learning: Wise poetry and foolish. Foolish ways to read, and wise ways to read.

Maxim 70: The Spirit gives knowledge. No other source can. Certainly not the vain human imagination or heart.

Maxim 71: Rousseau dismissed Art and Science because it degraded morality: I say dismissing morality degraded Art and Science.

Maxim 72: Art and science do not lead to moral degradation. Rather, infidelity does, and when it begins to show up in art, as it did during the age of Courtly Love, that's when dark ages happen.

Maxim 73: I think art is best at predicting the moral failings or the virtues of a society, and that's what makes it endure.

Maxim 74: Instead of searching wide and far for a good deed, do the good deed when the moment occurs, and only then, and not to excess. 

Maxim 75: Every new generation, human depravity takes on a new shape, just as grotesque and damnable as it were before.

Maxim 76: The test of a generation, is how many of its people partake of the worldly system.

Maxim 77: I write with Archaism and Neologism, and Generative grammar.

Maxim 78: When Euclid says "Square", the easiest thing to do, is imagine the line being made into a literal square. It'll all make sense afterward.

Maxim 79: To even approach [God], you need His mercy.

Maxim 80: All modern argumentation consists of Square Pegs and Round Holes, which it's getting even so, that some people won't even understand that. We should be much further than that.

Maxim 81: Heaven or Hell are directly related to whether we took our life, and chose good or evil. Christ's law is good. The world's is evil. And Christ's life was good. But ours was evil.

Maxim 82: People are strings of all the same spoken nonsense, but their hearts are what's truly deep.

Maxim 83: I lost the world, and gained my soul.

Maxim 84: A faith that encouraged curiosity and real learning, and whose faith wasn't damaged by evolution, but also didn't promote gay lifestyles, that would be my ideal church.

Maxim 85: I am not God, or a god, and neither are you.

Maxim 86: You sometimes just have to have faith in the stories we've pass down.

Maxim 87: [T]he problem with people today, is they overcomplicate simple answers and make simple answers for what's very complicated.

Maxim 88: The Battle of Siddim was during the 45th and 46th years of Sulgi.

Maxim 89: Delusions are good fodder for a poem. Put them there, where they can't hurt anyone, including yourself.

Maxim 90: If God is all powerful, He can create the world both ways, and tie them together into a knot. So that people who want to be monkeys, can be monkeys, and people who want to be clay, can be clay.

Maxim 91: Good ideas come from providential hands.

Maxim 92: If you ripped out my eyes, cut off my hands, and ripped out my tongue, and deafened me, I'd live within myself and still make worlds. 

Maxim 93: The best formula for success is to just keep working. And enjoy the process, and learn from your mistakes.

Maxim 94: My first thought: "Bububububa" I heard from the people in the restaurant, and it was strange yet soothing. While I drank a thimble of Half and Half.

Maxim 95: [W]e don't will upon nature what we want; there is right and wrong, and knowing that can keep you alive.

Maxim 96: Law, Love, God, Death, Pleasure.

Maxim 97: To understand another soul is the first principle of philosophy.

Maxim 98: Be a sheep, and not a goat, and the trees will wave at you on the highway, and the animals will linger near on your paths.

Maxim 99: Certain sin is like Alcohol--healthy in moderation.

Maxim 100: Certain sin is like Crystal Meth--absolutely deadly.

Maxim 101: Certain sin is like Marijuana--hard to understand why, but at the root because it is stupefying. 

Maxim 102: Certain sin is like Tobacco--issues to long and enjoyable life, but corruptible and can kill you the same.

Maxim 103: Certain sin is like Heroin--makes you feel in love, but it will make all other things less enjoyable.

Maxim 104: Certain sin is like Cocaine--makes you feel ecstatic, but will drive you into more and more to reach the same.

Maxim 105: Certain sin is like a Barbiturate--heavily proscribed, but inures you to others' happiness.

Maxim 106: Certain sin is like Ecstasy--makes you so happy in the moment, but also do things which are regretted for an entire lifetime.

Maxim 107: Fascism had excellent economics. That's what lulled the people into believing Hitler's programs. 

Maxim 108: Economics don't make a thing right. You can be happy and a sociopath. Many of them are. You can even have a society of happy sociopaths. That's happened several times in history.

Maxim 109: Feel suspicious of anyone who makes you feel their superior.

Maxim 110: You don't want companies vetting customers. That'd unleash a Pandora's box that would literally hang the man on the noose.

Maxim 111: Imagine being vetted to buy Campbell's Soup or shop at Home Depot. That's dangerous thinking the right is concocting, to avoid their products being associated with people they don't like.

Maxim 112: An enthymeme is not a logical fallacy. If it were, no calculus should have worked for close to 300 years.

Maxim 113: The age of reason rests on Christ's shoulders.

Maxim 114: You always know a reader by their articulation and accent.

Maxim 115: You can tell time by the flowers. The wild violet and veronica in March, the bluebell in early April, the rose in late May, the Honeysuckle in mid June, the Chicory in the rest of growth.

Maxim 116: If you cannot listen, you have doubt about your answers.

Maxim 117: Dharma is what is, but Christ is Guru; not Buddha; not Vishnu.

Maxim 118: I'm a Trans and Homophobe. Because everything I feared would happen happened and far worse.

Maxim 119: Noumenon and Dharma are the same thing. It seems like seeing what is, makes a man seem like a mystic. It should not.

Maxim 120: If you can find an audience for shit on a canvas, or piss in a jar, you can find an audience for my writing, too.

Maxim 121: Pretention to a modern man is going further, seeing the beautiful, and knowing what's true.

Maxim 122: Googolplex to the googolplex hyperoperation, to the googolplex'th degree, plus one. It's still not the largest countable number, because there cannot ever be one.

Maxim 123: Truth is a little misogynistic. So is true happiness for all parties.

Maxim 124: Modern women are hurting themselves as much as they are everyone else. It's not working. The whole civilization is frustrated to the max, and nobody's truly happy.

Maxim 125: I have to honestly say, I don't see happy people, except for my elders. So, something's not working.

Maxim 126: The definition of Western Philosophy, is "Taking the simplest thing and making it too hard for anyone to understand."

Maxim 127: Every civilization's collapse begins with women. And it ends with men who are just like them.

Maxim 128:  To have a woman, you have to risk getting soaked in a divorce, your unborn child's very life, and then have to roll out the red carpet and beg like a dog. They have issues in this generation.

Maxim 129: Men's issues are that they won't grow up, and don't want deep friendship with their girl. Just a fleshy thing they can gratify themselves in sometimes, and rear offspring, if that.

Maxim 130: It's like our politics is a bunch of moms at a high school girl's soccer match.

Maxim 131: The French Revolution, for you idealists out there, was mind reading, constant spying, iconoclasm, rioting and mass murder.

Maxim 132: [T]he first principle of anything, is to have your names ordered, and make sure Genius is being fulfilled in your population.

Maxim 133: Progress into what{}? An entitled world full of spoiled brats and narcissists who have no love, and can only rely on themselves for anything? Just self contained egoists, subsisting off of self esteem? That's not progress, that's hell.

Maxim 134: The thing that bothers me about the Paris Olympics isn't that they would mock the last supper, but turn around and feign like they didn't. That kind of bold lie is indicative of the LGBT movement in general, and all their tactics revolve around such deceptions.

Maxim 135: Persecution is being hidden behind walls of subtle layers of meaning. "Oh you just can't find a job or publish your books anywhere. You're not being persecuted: just behind on the times and an anachronism."

Maxim 136: Maybe that’s the divine choice, to be of the world, and therefore of the flesh, or be of God, and therefore of the spiritual lineage to Christ Jesus? To evolve from apes, or descend from God's clay?

Maxim 137: St. Ignatius of Antioch, I have burdened men with the Law of Judaism. However, I repent of this.

Maxim 138: My disability is the world’s too stubborn to buy my books. Although, sometimes I think they do, someone’s just not letting me get paid for it.

Maxim 139: Ludwig Quidde is a name that ought to be remembered. Not for his pacifism, but for who he was telling to be pacifist. 

Maxim 140: What the modern man calls "arrogant" the classicist calls "haecceitas." 

Maxim 141: [D]on't read literature to disagree or agree with it. Just read it for what it says.

Maxim 142: Let them mock. We'll come back at them, and teach them their error.

Maxim 143: We always think we know better than the ancient sources drawn from firsthand witnesses.

Maxim 144: When I look how Sine and Cosine work, I can't believe that's just by chance. Or even something like Calculus. I don't know if the universe is fine tuned for life, but I can study Euclid and see that just has to be evidence for design.

Maxim 145: Build the foundation from the rock, of Christ alone. No wave can topple you then.

Maxim 146: I see Christ, and I say, " I want no other to be God, and I want God to judge." So I believe.

Maxim 147: The principles are Power is lower than Reason, Reason is Lower than Judgment; Judgment is Sufficed in God's Omniscience.

Maxim 148: Power persuades more than reason. Reason persuades more than Judgment. For Judgment requires God's Word to hear.

Maxim 149: The existence of existence is the proof of God, and the design of existence is proof of God.

Maxim 150: Pythagoras gave condensed answers as rebuttals to other men. I may do the same, but then, I must also make them comprehensible, too.

Maxim 151: Without tautology, or something self subsisting, we'd have no logic. 

Maxim 152: The issue with modern man, is that we view everything as a rational process, and not an empirical; nor do we have any grounding. And that will eventually destroy everything.

Maxim 153: I see a design, so know it only can be if God made it so.

Maxim 154:  God {} is [not] weak, and can{} create [the world] both ways. We have a choice, either our spiritual lineage to Adam, or the fleshly world and its strife and competition. Be in the world, but not of it.

Maxim 155: The more I see regarding human ignorance, the more I see the need for faith. Many educated people cannot even understand addition, let alone something harder.

Maxim 156: We have to have faith in other minds, that many of them were smarter than us, and trust their conclusions. Because we certainly are not capable of coming to them ourselves.

Maxim 157. Judgment is what's lacking from the world. We have plenty of reason and intellect, just enough to invalidate addition and subtraction and conduct the basest arguments.

Maxim 158:  The modern liberal is an Authoritarian mess, who wants to turn everyone gay by 2030 and depopulate the planet through forced starvation.

Maxim 159: In this world solid proof proves nothing, and the airiest of sophistry everything.

Maxim 160: I'm a poet, but my words are lame. I'm an evangelist, but my arguments are weak. However, it is Christ who makes them strong, and works on the hearer's heart.

Maxim 161: I just believe in ending it quickly, and not boasting about it when it's over. That’s my art of war.

Maxim 162: My rebellion is against Lucifer. 

Maxim 162: When augmenting dimensions, half of half is a fourth, and a half of a fourth is an eighth. Therefore, on the cube, the third multiple in linear form, is half that of the first.

Maxim 163: Half times a half times a half of a cube is one eighth; for the dimensions go half the cube, half the cube, making one fourth's the cube's surface area, and then half from the surface area of the square's dimensions, is one fourth distance, making one eighth a cube.

Maxim 164: America is one of the few words, that repeating it over and over again in my head, it only grows in meaning, and doesn't lose it.

Maxim 165: The Star Spangled Banner is the national anthem, but America the Beautiful captures America's spirit better than any other song in history.

Maxim 166: God Bless America is a parody of American virtue... It reminds me of a Brit's description of  Colonel Blimp. Just vain and hollow compared to some of our other anthems.

Maxim 167: Billy Preston's version of My Country 'tis of Thee is my patriotism summed up in melody.

Maxim 168: I'm loyal to a dying generation.

Maxim 169: They are the rulers, who the people speak about in whispers.

Maxim 170: To master the art of listening, is more fulfilling than mastering the art of oration.

Maxim 171: Company is kept by the ear, not by the mouth.

Maxim 172: Intelligent people are original thinkers, geniuses are listeners and observers.

Maxim 173: Water can break a stone.

Maxim 174: Satan's fruit are infatuation, fun, agreement, haste, compromise, self-centeredness, self-assertion, love of money, and self-justification.

Maxim 175: Postmodernism is  a philosophy concerned with proving falsehoods, and making truth invalid.

Maxim 176: My ancestors also came from slaves (indentured servants) and were hated by Americans for being foreign tongued immigrants. 

Maxim 177: You either have Peruvian Gold Mines or Communist Garbage Dumps. That's the worse of Capitalism and Communism. We need sustainable markets that allow work and also property and self reliance.

Maxim 178: The disgusting thing I realized today, is there's people with PhD's who, their entire educations, gave them about as much knowledge as I can learn in a day watching one YouTube video and reading ten chapters of a book.

Maxim 179: [E]ffects are the only way to judge an ideology.

Maxim 180: Christians aren't Warm and Squishy people, we're fire and brimstone, but hearing it, you know it comes from compassion and not hate.

Maxim 181:  Jesus wasn't a flower child but a meek warrior.

Maxim 182: Some people don't like Michelangelo, but will stare at shit on a canvas.

Maxim 183: You want to be a monkey, God can make you a monkey. You want to be living clay, He can make you that too.

Maxim 184: To understand the idea, you have to look at its effect, and not its affect.

Maxim 185: You can only truly learn, if your teacher understands their subject.

Maxim 186: In teaching, masters make masters. Amateurs make amateurs. 

Maxim 187: If you can drill two concepts into your students, that make them capable of learning anything, those are contextual reading skills and basic algebra.

Maxim 188: Even the Grandmaster Smith can get a warp in his most expertly crafted blade.

Maxim 189: Don't account a deaf ear to what is a wise rebuke.

Maxim 190: The things you say are like an epic poem, but you say them often. So craft them skillfully, and to the truth.

Maxim 191: I truly hate this world so much. Knowing it has always been this way, and always will, is even more reason why I hate it.

Maxim 192: One injustice gets replaced by another. That's the way of time.

Maxim 193: Where Christ's blood was not shed in grace, the discipline is powerless to transform.

Maxim 194: I just learned about the volta yesterday, and realized a lot of my poems have one.

Maxim 195: I am a master at Deconstruction, but then also a master at putting what I tore apart back together, finding out the reasons why the things were in the first place.

Maxim 196: I don't stop at what I want. I go to the absolute bedrock, and I've found Christ proven in all things.

Maxim 197: Faith is important because very few alive are smart enough to understand; and what God gave us, even our most brilliant cannot truly understand. That is why we have faith.

Maxim 198: Tautology is the base of all logic. No logic can progress without being established in what's self evident.

Maxim 199: Jeremiah suffers, so it's a poorly run society.

Maxim 200: When you learn to listen, and not assume something someone else is saying, you get better at giving them an answer.
