“In 1974 I nearly got into a fistfight with some early academic feminists in a restaurant when I casually alluded to a hormonal element in sex differences. It was utterly unacceptable at that time to think or say such a thing... If you have any doubts about the effect of hormones on emotion, libido and aggression, have a chat with a transexual, who must take hormones medically. He or she will set you straight.” IfsThinkingSexDifferencesEmotionDoubtEffectsElementsFeministRestaurantsAcademicAggressionHormonesTime To ThinkLibidoSex Differences Author:Camille Paglia
“A crucial difference between lite libertarians and the right kind is that to the former, the idea of liberty is propositional - a deracinated principle, unmoored from the realities of history, hierarchy, biology, tradition, culture, values. Conversely, the paleolibertarian grasps that ordered liberty has a civilizational dimension, stripped of which the libertarian non-aggression axiom, by which we all must live, cannot endure.” KindIdeasRealityValuesCultureDifferencesLibertyPrinciplesTraditionEndureLibertarianFormerDimensionsBiologyCrucialAggressionHierarchyAxioms Author:Ilana Mercer
“We know that dictators are quick to choose aggression, while free nations strive to resolve differences in peace.

“How would you describe the difference between modern war and modern industry-between say, bombing and strip mining, or between chemical warfare and chemical manufacturing? The difference seems to be only that in war the victimization of humans is directly intentional and in industry it is "accepted" as a "trade-off." Were the catastrophes of Love Canal, Bhopal, Chernobyl, and the Exxon Valdez episodes of war or of peace? They were in fact, peacetime acts of aggression, intentional to the extent that the risks were known and ignored.” HumansWarFactsSeemsDifferencesKnownRiskModernIndustryTradeEnvironmentalAcceptedChemicalsPollutionEpisodesAggressionWarfareIgnoredCatastropheManufacturingBombingMiningCanalsChernobylVictimizationTrade OffsModern WarChemical Warfare Author:Wendell Berry
