About

Note: The Vincenton Post is formerly called Ideological Soup. This transition is not merely lexical; it is primarily intellectual and philosophical. This blog is dedicated to the promotion of individualism and the philosophy of Objectivism in the Philippines, a country which is a product of history. In order to have a definite national direction, a nation must have a rational intellectual leadership. This country must be guided by a rational individualist philosophy whose metaphysics is objective reality, whose epistemology is reason, whose politics is capitalism, and whose ethics is self-interest. Without a rational culture, education system and ‘national consciousness’ that are hinged on the concept of individualism, this nation cannot achieve a “new renaissance.” This blog banners the value of Honesty, Objectivity and Integrity. The first means intellectual honesty. In dealing with any kind of social, political or economic issues, The Vincenton Post does not recognize the value of blind compromise, the absurd idea of middle-ground, and the creepy scowl of the not-quite, the not-yet and the not-at-all. Intellectual honesty means one must not hesitate to attack an issue according to its value or non-value and that one must not be afraid to confront criticisms by blind supporters of  an evil social agenda whose value and concept they miserably failed to evaluate. Objectivity generally relates to Aristotle’s law of identity- that A is A. An issue must be judged not merely on its objective concept, but also on how it responds to reality. In journalistic terms, it is the goal of The Vincenton Post to make an objective evaluation of reality. Man’s knowledge expands by observing reality, but it is important that the stimuli be must taken objectively and that the observer must be guided by the concept of good and evil. In general, Objectivity means ideas, opinions and concepts expressed in this blogsite must be clear, comprehensible and free from bias and vague generalities. Finally, Integrity means The Vincenton Post seeks to keep the moral principles of individualism and to uphold only those that make life possible. It does not take compromise or any absurd idea of middle-ground as an option. In a struggle to advance the cause of freedom and man’s rights, compromise is never a necessary evil- it is evil at best. The Vincenton Post offers a choice not an echo. This country and the rest of the world are moving toward collectivism or socialism. The only way to stop this evil, immoral trend is to embrace the right choice- the philosophy of Objectivism, the concept of Individualism, the economic system of Capitalism.

I am forever inspired by the following quotation from my favorite book Atlas Shrugged:

“In the name of the best within you, do not sacrifice this world to those who are its worst. In the name of the values that keep you alive, do not let your vision of man be distorted by the ugly, the cowardly, the mindless in those who have never achieved his title. Do not lose your knowledge that man’s proper estate is an upright posture, an intransigent mind and a step that travels unlimited roads. Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark, in the hopeless swamps of the approximate, the not-quite, the not-yet, the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish, in lonely frustration for the life you deserved, but have never been able to reach. Check your road and the nature of your battle. The world you desired can be won, it exists, it is real, it is possible, it’s yours.”

For those who read, loved, and reacted to the articles on this site, thanks for paying a visit. For those who hated it, get real! I always tell them, “check your premises…” When dealing with commenters, these are my rules:

• I don’t want to deal with hippies!
• I’m not called upon to argue a negative!
• I have no desire to answer or argue the impossible!
• I totally ignore rude, bigot and irrational commenters!
• If you have any question or something to argue about, do it in a nice way!
• I don’t want to deal with anonymous commenters!
• From now on, I will erase comments with evil agenda!
• I will tell those who have estimated their intelligence and who’d judge me on an unfounded claim: “Don’t read my blogs!”
• I don’t have any patience with people who’re just plain stupid and who miserably believe they make sense! (I believe I have only a limited knowledge and I’m grateful for the people who’re willing to share thoughts and views with me.)
• Just be rational. I can sense if you’re simply trying to waste my time.
• I don’t have any interest in arguing or exchanging ideas and opinions with “context-droppers,” meaning those who drop or maliciously disregard the context of what I’m saying. Once I detected that a commenter is engaging in “context dropping,” there’s no reason for me to prolong his/her stupidity or agenda.

• Hippies, bigots and plain stupid are now allowed to comment!
