  • What’s the Matter with Matter?

    5 OCT 2022 · If perception is reality, then all matter within reality is subjectively perceived. Then only laws that are perceived are true or laws that are desired. Matter made up of atoms would be interchangeable or malleable, depending on the perceiver. The physical world would simply be a projection of the perceiver, and nothing more. So concepts like love, truth, justice, honor, morality, fear joy, happiness are subjective notions existing only inside the conscious mind of each individual. This has great implications as other people existing within your conscious reality are equivalent to everything else existing in your conscious reality, meaning that atomic physical matter can be malleable, expendable and extinguishable. There would be no difference between a piece of rock or a person because matter is subjective to your own consciousness you could actually say that rock matter is highly valued above human matter, but even to say that is that make distinctions, these distinctions are subjective to your understanding . In short, if your subjective projections are reality, then that makes you God and those living among you are simply beings created value for you, and they only exist and move and have their being because you allow them to.

  • Viewing Reality As A Book

    20 AUG 2022 · What if we viewed life and reality as a book? There is a transcendent author who lives outside of the parameters of the book. They have language and knowledge that is outside that of the characters. And they exist even if the characters don't fully grasp it in their limited consciousness. Are we characters in a book? Is God our author?

  • Don't Despise the Restraint of Reason

    4 AUG 2022 · It is the tension or reason, like the kit string, that allows imagination to inform our consciousness about the objective reality around us. Don’t think that if you cut ties with “oppressive” Reason that the “kite” would be free to be their true self. It will not soar to untold heights, but it will crash to the earth and be broken. It takes the synthesis of imagination and reason for humans to reach their optimal selves.

  • Daily Musing: Progressive vs Conservative Foundations

    1 AUG 2022 · Trigger Warning: Extremely Controversial!! I am dealing with ideologies and philosophies, not individuals whom I know. Testing the validity of these thoughts to see if they are worth adopting. This is verbal processing through current social taboo trends and faux pas. I can not adopt something that is verifiably false or untenable regardless of who it offends or who demands I accept it. The discord in America and the world is from 2 epistemological thoughts: 1. Will to Power 2. Will to Meaning. The first looks for ways to wrest power and influence from those who possess it or seem to possess it. Meaning is found only when power hierarchies are reversed. “Might Makes Right.” 2. Will to Meaning looks to find meaning in reason and objectivity in the observations of reality.

  • URI: Strawman vs Steelman

    9 NOV 2021 · What if we took the arguments we disagreed with and presented them to ourselves in the best light possible? I mean really actually argued for it and even try to pick apart your own preferred argument. What would happen? You might lose your fear of opposing ideas and you might gain a greater degree of compassion for others. But better yet, you may find that the belief and argument you originally rejected is in fact superior to yours. Steelman the opposition and see what may come of it.

We are living in one of the most chaotic times in recent memory. There is so much conflicting information and opposing opinions it is unclear who to trust. Does Truth still exist? Can it be found? Yes! This podcast is dedicated to helping you learn how to wrestle ideas, belief systems, and your own thoughts to discover what is worth keeping and what is worth letting go. We will share lectures, interviews, and other events where the URI team are presenting.

If you are ready to become resolved in who you are, what you think, and want to be, then this is the place for you. We hope these are only your first steps to becoming Unabashedly Resolute and helping those around you to be so resolved as well.

Here we go, “Further Up and Further In.” (CS Lewis)
