The polar party. They all died. Wanting things to be true does not make them true.

First a quote from Slojo Biden: “We choose truth over facts.”

It’s Satan’s best scam ever–the idea that you can be whatever you choose to be, even to the point of “choosing your gender.”

I confess I have no idea whatsoever why anybody would want “transgender”; and I’m afraid it could lead to social turmoil from which we might not recover.

Bad ideas can kill you. No matter how passionately you want them to be true.

Exhibit A: R.F. Scott’s trek to the South Pole. It’s not a parable. It really happened, and a lot of people who really, truly should have known better… died.

Scott’s polar party: they all died. Wanting success was not enough.

You Can’t Defy Reality Forever

Wanting things to work is very, very different from making sure they work. Captain Scott was abundantly endowed with wishful thinking–enough of it to supply an army. Come to think of it, World War I–by then just two years away–featured whole armies and governments with decisions based on wishful thinking.

But don’t worry–that mess with the Ukraine and Russia, it’ll all turn out right.
