Reprinted below are the substantive sections of two conversations (“Constitutional Principles” and “Chapter on Propositions”) I had last week with Claude, a large language model created by a company named Anthropic. Time Magazine on July 18 published an informative article entitled “What to Know About Claude 2, Anthropic’s Rival to ChatGPT.” As the two dialogues below demonstrate, […]
James Ellias asked me excellent questions in a recent series of interviews about my book, A Validation of Knowledge. James has published the first two episodes: Discussing “A Validation of Knowledge” With Ron Pisaturo: Part 1: on Hierarchy (1:04:16) Discussing “A Validation of Knowledge” With Ron Pisaturo: Part 2: on Hierarchy (1:50:39) The remaining episodes are even […]
In 2019, Encounter Books published America’s Revolutionary Mind: A Moral History of the American Revolution and the Declaration That Defined It, a landmark book by C. Bradley Thompson.

Today, I opened The Fountainhead to this passage (Ayn Rand ([1943] 1994, 191, Part 1, Chapter XV). “Look Peter, I believe you. I know that you have nothing to gain by saying this. I […]
This post consists of a section I omitted from yesterday’s essay because I did not want to bury the good under a pile of evil. If you, dear reader, are not fully convinced of the evil of the LGBTQ movement, or if someone you care about is not fully convinced, then this post is for […]

Do I think the 2022 election was stolen? Of course. We have mail-in voting, ballot harvesting, corrupt voter rolls, and no voter ID. All these things are designed to steal elections. Am I concerned about friends who have had the Covid vaccine? Of course. We have socialized medicine. Have any of our many other severe […]
