Concerning the crisis of migration, I think it is a good idea to take a step back, and look at things with calm. I have just finished the stoic work of the Roman Seneca about peace of mind. I think it has a number of principles we can use to tackle the crisis. First of […]
I may have got an opening in my quest to find a decent job, that may actually make it possible for me to guarantee my service to the international agreement in the Iran deal. To make it work in the long run, I need to be more than just a gifted blogger boheme, and actually […]
Finding G-d goes through many paths. It can be contemplation, intellectual research, sacrifice og prayer. But there is one path, I believe we should prioritize and not forget that, instantly, gives us something, not only spiritually, but also just for our joy, the aim of art; beauty. We, as conservatives, strive, as always for a […]
I am an academic, but not one of the usual ones. Usually academics are in churches, universities or other schools. Working with education and research that is to the good of the society. Since our societies are on a very downward course, these days it is difficult to be in a university. The academic level […]
You can attack the idea of marriage and family from different points of view. You can do it from the point of st. Augustin, as I did with the posting of faith, hope and love. You can do it in a Platonic view, as I did in my writings on the dialogue Meno, or you […]
It is difficult to be true in politics. All the pressure, all the interests that is vested in your person and what you do. Lobbyism or journalism is always there to try set their agenda, not your agenda. True friendship is very, very rare, and almost no one is clean. This is truly the root […]
The world is both like an oyster and on a path to hell. At one end, we have all the possibilities of a new world. At the other hand, we have the hell that is upon us with Islamic State. It is like an endless void blistering with light. Finding those lights, and navigating the […]
Sometimes antisemitism takes its strangest forms, and the jews targeted can be anything. This time it was a musician, one of my favourites in fact. He courageously went on singing with his heart about Jerusalem in the face of anger and ridicule. Will it ever stop? No, but as always, there are courageous Jews who […]
Reading the exquisite platonic dialogue Meno, I stumbled upon a principle, that may enlighten the debate about evil and good in our current societies, and may give us an inkling as to why the Islamic State has such stupendous success. According to Plato, or Socrates, evil is the effect of stupidity or lack of knowledge. […]
It seems to me, a kind of a “New conservatism” has begun to emerge. As we have left the Thatcherian concepts of solely free market, and the fight against Communism, we are now entering a phase of a more balanced Smithsonian economic philosophy, where national production is balanced with free market theory. This in practice […]
I remember, I had this dream before the last Gazan war. It was terrible, in short it was a nigthmare about the fall of the West. At that time, Israel was not, except for mr. Netanyahu, cognizable about the threat the last Gazan war was to the entire West, it was a turning point. We won, […]
I think I know why Meno was such an excellent choice for a renewed discussion of what family really is. It is because it still young in its conception. Plato was in his early works very much influenced by Socrates, and yet not so young again in Meno. So the frame of the more mature […]
I have pondered a little over the ethical frame of the synod. Having made the idea, with certain motives as to why we should move on making the family the vehicle of joy and rejuvenation, we still lack a serious framework to work with. With respect to all the ideas out there. I have read […]
In the upcoming synod I think, humbly, that we need to envelop the entire process in a theological frame, that truly lifts the entire religious discourse. Before I had the pleasure to visit the discourse, ideas as intelligent design and the like was really the sharp spearhead of moderne theology, but the problem was; it […]
Concerning the upcoming synod the family. I think, that it is very important to understand this in a metaphysical light. As in the ancient Egyptian temples, what we do, we do it to reflect the existence of G-d. Prayer was originally such a thing. To emulate and to get closer to G-d, the priest there […]
There has been talking about using the British forces and some kind of pedagogical instrument to sway young Muslims over in the direction of the crown. Listen, this is folly. Not all Muslims are extremists, but you need a wing of the government that you can rely on hundred percent. We may soon see a […]
I believe we have come to at point, where we can safely say, that the West will prevail. Before Obama, there was serious doubt about the outcome, and there was a very real possibility, that the entire structure of the West, or rather the remaining structure of the British empire would collapse. That is the […]
It is a bit strange, that wherever I have had the opportunity to try and develop a bit of socioeconomic or spiritual progress, it has brought happiness and light. In Egypt, Israel, the U.S., France, UK. You may call me a hardliner a bigot a moral leftist. But the fact of the matter is, that […]
It is funny how Americans and Danes like each other. There was a strong friendship between mr. George Bush and our former PM mr. Anders Fogh Jensen, and there is a very strong relationship between my humble person and mr. Barack Obama. I know we are not perfect, and we always get a lot of […]
