<p>Hi all</p>
<p>The early church fathers loved the teachings of Socrates.
Perhaps he was considered by them to be the first anonymous
Christian. <br>
</p>
<p>Socrates reviled the sophists of his time because the arguments
of the sophists tended toward ad hominem fallacy. In other words
they resorted to name calling, slander and other forms of
attacking the messenger. Rather than arguing the merits of the
message they distracted people from the path to truth by
magnifying the flaws of the messenger. <br>
</p>
<p>Ad hominem is the modus operandi of political discourse in our
society today. Our media has focused on the bombastic Trump, his
cut throat negotiating tactics, his penchant for performance art
that so pleases his followers and his possible narcissistic
personality disorder. They have largely ignored the positive
aspects of his presidential decrees and the actions he takes. He
does not acquiesce to the status quo of power relations and that
may be the root cause for the wrath that is being proliferated
upon him and his supporters by the rich and powerful oligarch
owned mainstream media. This ad hominem sophistry in our
discussion of current affairs surely blinds us to the evil that
is being foisted on us by the ruling Elites. Their mode has always
been, divide and conquer. They want us to hate our neighbour and
adore Blackrock, Vanguard and their biotech subsidiaries as our
saviours.<br>
</p>
<p>For me the greatest evil is war. Donald Trump is the only US
president,as far as I know, that ever stated in his inaugural
speech that he wanted to be remembered as a peace maker. He has
already managed to force a tentative peace deal in Palestine. He
states that the loss of so many young lives on the battle field
in Ukraine is a horrible tragedy and he has requested a prompt
meeting with Putin where he intends to diplomatically end the
war. No other president in recent history has sought a
diplomatic solution to war. This is what the world needs now; an
end to the psychopathic wastefulness of war, the greatest evil of
all. How can we not wish Trump well in this endeavour.</p>
<p>Trump seems to be taking steps to achieve the objectives that he
promised his MAGA base. Yet he has surrounded himself with the
worst of the techno oligarchs. We have to in my opinion be wary
of Trump betraying his promise to the American people. At this
point it is to early to tell if he sincerely wants to make our
planet a more peaceful and prosperous place to live. Calling him
names will just blind us to the reality and opportunities before
us as his tenure unfolds. <br>

bit coin as it is hijacked by the financial tech giants. This will
be of interest to those who want to understand better the
relationship of bit coin and other crypto tokens to the economy of
