Aristotle’s most systematic treatment of “goodness” (especially moral goodness) appears in his Nicomachean Ethics. A summary:
1. The Highest Good = Eudaimonia (Human Flourishing / Fulfillment)
• For Aristotle, every action and choice aims at some “good.”
• The ultimate good for human beings is eudaimonia, often translated as “happiness,” but better understood as flourishing, living well, or the fulfilled life.
• Eudaimonia is not mere pleasure or wealth; it is activity of the soul in accordance with complete virtue (aretē) over a complete life (Nicomachean Ethics I.7–10).
2. Virtue (aretē) as the Core of Goodness
• Moral goodness is virtue of character, a settled disposition to feel, choose, and act in the right way, at the right time, toward the right people, for the right reason.
• Virtue is a mean (mesotēs) between excess and deficiency (the “Golden Mean”).
• Courage = mean between rashness and cowardice
• Temperance = mean between self-indulgence and insensibility
• Generosity = mean between prodigality and stinginess
3. How Virtue (and thus Goodness) Is Acquired
• We are not born virtuous or vicious; we become so by habituation (ethos → ethics).
• “We become just by doing just acts, temperate by doing temperate acts, brave by doing brave acts” (NE II.1).
• Intellectual training and good laws help, but repeated right action is essential.
4. The Role of Reason
• Full human goodness requires both moral virtues (of character) and intellectual virtues (especially phronēsis - practical wisdom).
• Phronēsis is the ability to deliberate well about what is good and advantageous for living a flourishing life.
5. The Contemplative Life as the Highest Form of Goodness
• In Book X of the Nicomachean Ethics, Aristotle argues that the very best life is the life of contemplation (theōria), the exercise of reason on the highest objects (the eternal and divine).
• This is the most self-sufficient, most continuous, and most pleasant activity, and it most fully actualizes our highest faculty (nous, intellect).
Key Quotes
• “The good for man is an activity of the soul in accordance with virtue, and if there are several virtues, in accordance with the best and most complete.” (NE I.7, 1098a16–18)
• “Joy is at once the best, the noblest, and the most pleasant of things.” (NE I.8)
• “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.”
“To go down and know that you’re going to risk it all to save another man”
MSG Gary Gordon and SFC Randy Schughart, two Operators that roped in to heavy resistance in the infamous battle of Mogadishu to help defend the downed pilot Michael Durant.
We face a similar situation as these men. The only question is will we make the same sacrifice. As the pilot in our scenario are the future generations we will leave in this turmoil if we don’t.

Not long ago, @ApplyToForum held a groundbreaking event alongside the Midterm Convention in Dallas. Just clink the link in comment below and scroll through ALL THE PANELS.
It culminated in the "Battle of the Joes" (@JOEBOTxyz and @JTLonsdale) on Tech.
MORE is coming...
We need honest inter-coalitional discussions, in person, outside of demonization pressure zones. This is normal. It’s OK to argue and disagree and explore and figure it out for yourself.

Alarm 🚨 Alerts 🚨:
Countries around the world are instructing citizens to prepare "emergency stockpiles"
"What on earth is about to begin?"
🇯🇵 Japan: 3 days
🇬🇧 UK: 3 days
🇫🇷 France: 72 hours
🇩🇪 Germany: 3–10 days
🇹🇼 Taiwan: 7 days
🇨🇭 Switzerland: 1 week
🇸🇪 Sweden: 1 week
🇳🇴 Norway: 1 week
🇪🇪 Estonia: 1 week
🇩🇰 Denmark: 3 days
🇵🇱 Poland: 3 days
🇳🇱 Netherlands: 72 hours
🇧🇪 Belgium: 72 hours
🇫🇮 Finland: 72 hours 🇱🇻 Latvia: 72 hours
🇱🇹 Lithuania: 72 hours
🇮🇪 Ireland: "Prepare for emergencies"
🇪🇺 EU (European Union): 72 hours
17 countries + the EU have issued preparation instructions in a short period of time.
Each country emphasizes: "There is no urgency; it's just a stockpiling drill. No need to panic."
“These are the times that try men’s souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value.”
“Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!”

Do not listen to polling… you never did before.
They said Hillary would win in a landslide.
She didn’t.
And definitely don’t listen to polling from betting websites… that’s just stupid.
Get out and vote Republican down the ticket, because the communists are all Democrats.
Only you can prevent communism.
So apparently in Britain now, you cannot walk down the sidewalk near a pro Hamas organized protest and be Jewish? Soon the British police will be asking us where our turbins are, arresting us for eating pork, and telling us we need to stay in doors for our own good because our skin color is offensive.
@JohnCleese what is happening in your country?

“You are quite openly Jewish”
“If you choose to remain here you will be arrested for breaching the peace”
In Sadiq Kahn’s diverse & inclusive London - Police threaten you with arrest just for being Jewish in areas of the City people might take offence to that.

Obviously, anyone who says don’t vote R in this environment for whatever purity spiraling reason—and this is a group that now contains both country club neocons and groypers alike—is by definition part of what could justly be called the retard right.
Also obviously, fighting within the coalition is normal politics and people should say and advocate for what they think best within it.

Being America first is not something you as an American should have to announce to anyone.
It is all pretty simple, yet people try to complicate it while also stripping it of nuance.
They also love to conflate America first with America only, even though being an isolationist in today’s world would significantly hurt America.
Alliances that help maintain American dominance in the world are a good thing.
An America only isolationist stance is, to put it mildly, incredibly stupid.
It would effectively end the dollar as the reserve currency, which would in turn destroy American economics and likely crash our entire economy and then the world’s economy, yet other nations would quickly reestablish deals with each other and recover much faster than we could.
It would also remove our influence on foreign nations and allow China or Russia to move forward on the world stage, peddling influence for power while we tried to recover from our disastrous decision.
It would then take us out of the decision making process for international affairs, which would mean some other power would lead in those efforts and make decisions that benefited them and not us.
Just like you trudging through the world alone without family, friends, or coworkers to help you would be pretty lonely and stupid, the same is true for nations.
There are allies and there are enemies.
There are good allies and mediocre ones.
There are worse enemies and insignificant ones.
Discernment is important, because nothing happens in a vacuum.
These concepts are only difficult for someone trying to push a narrative to get you to think or believe a certain way.
Don’t fall for it.

This dude is a Turkish Marxist that named his show after a genocide of Christians, by the way.
Maybe don’t listen to fat, beastiality supporting Turkish propagandists about anything at all 🤷♂️

It means entire countries and cultures will go extinct forever
fertility rates are so abstract that people struggle to understand the scale of the catastrophe we’re experiencing.
take 1.14 children per woman (italy and japan)
if that continues, each generation is roughly half the size of the one before it
start with 100 people in a generation, the next only has about 54, then 29, then 16.
in three generations, roughly a century, you have a generation 84% smaller than the one you started with.
for taiwan that would be 97.4%!
i don't think people really understand what that means

🇺🇸HEADS-UP PATRIOTS🇺🇸
The Democrat/Media Complex is sniffing around the Democracy Files and our exposing of the ongoing Color Revolution. I'm not talking about marginal podcasters--I'm talking about the head of the snake.
They will attempt to do two things:
1. Discredit @DataRepublican, the patriots who have worked with her on this project, and all of us who have supported getting this plot out into the light of day.
2. Claim that the framing of those files as an ongoing Color Revolution is a lie, and in fact the ex-USAID/CIA/State/military people behind this are merely true patriots trying to prevent Trump from overthrowing "our democracy."
Such a story will inevitably include a litany of "proof" that Donald Trump's genuine election integrity efforts are somehow actually a nefarious plot to disenfranchise lawful Democrat voters and steal "our democracy." The very words you will read and hear will be a part of the framing of Trump's "loss of legitimacy" that is essential to the plot's success.
In other words, these stories that are about to come out from the premier Democrat/Media Complex outlet(s) are actually part of the plot itself, and serve as part of the "Narrative" component of color revolutions that I have written about.
Be on the lookout for these nefarious propaganda pieces in the days ahead. As I have said repeatedly, the best way to counter this false narrative is to get everyone in your circle to listen for 4 minutes and 31 seconds to the very first drop DR put out on October 22. That tape alone starkly reveals the entire plot in the plotters' own words.
Last point; never forget that these people will always do one thing that is their "tell": they will always accuse you of what they are actually up to themselves.
As my wife's X tagline always says: "Peace and be prepared."

🚨🇮🇹 Meanwhile in Italy
The 400 Year Old Monastery of Bernaga has just been burned to ashes & now lies in ruins.
Thankfully all the Nuns escaped the blaze.
All these fires can’t simply be by accident - they keep on happening almost daily.

🚨 JUST IN: Left-wing Brazil Federal Deputy Duda Salabert announces a motion to SEIZE right-wing Flavio Bolsonaro's passport and throw him in PRISON after Lula's fraudulent victory
THIS IS INSANE!!
This entity now wants to go full tyrant mode and make sure Bolsonaro pays for standing up to socialists.
SALABERT: "I have just requested the seizure of Flávio Bolsonaro's passport. The next step for this criminal is to try to flee Brazil to avoid facing the various inquiries in his name. He needs to be arrested soon. We cannot allow him to join his brother in the U.S. to plot against national sovereignty!"
Minutes after the race was called, Salabert also posted: "We won! Now it's prison for Flavio Bolsonaro!"
First they lock out pro-Bolsonaro precincts at PM while extending voting in Lula strongholds
Then Lula vows to "regulate" social media in his victory speech
And now Lula's allies are already moving to confiscate the opposition candidate's passport and jail him 😠
PRAY FOR FLAVIO 🙏🏻

Atheists sometimes tell me I have to choose between God and science.
I do not, and neither do you.
There is nothing anti-scientific about the idea that an all-powerful, transcendent super-intelligence created the universe and wrote its laws.
In fact, it's far more believable to me that this is the explanation for our lawful, intelligible universe than the story I was expected to believe as an atheist - that the universe "just is" or that it's somehow lawful and intelligible despite having no intelligence or will behind it.
But what about the big bang? Is that a problem for a Bible-believing Christian?
Not at all.
Leave aside the age issue - which is frankly the least explosive part of all this - and consider how modern science has caught up with the Genesis narrative in the last 100 years. Modern science has figured out that the universe isn't eternal, as people thought for thousands of years, but suddenly came into being a finite time ago just as Genesis 1:1 describes.
I do not have to give up God to believe that. In fact, as a scientist, it's the only way I can make sense of why the universe exists at all and is the way it is.
Don't let anyone tell you that you have to choose between God's two books - the Bible and his creation. They are wonderfully compatible.
