Who’s This Blog For?

February 23rd, 2010 · No Comments

It may be obvious, but in case it isn’t the main reason for this blog is to help make humankind less alienated ontologically and eventually to end our ontological alienation completely.
In working toward that goal, The Ontological War is concerned with two main groups. The first group is made up of ontological sensitive people, and [...]

Ontological Ebbs and Flows

February 21st, 2010 · No Comments

In realself ontology terms, the Transition is the ontological path or road from one’s socialself to one’s realself.
Most of the time when increasing realself ideas are explained here they will be described as if people who are increasing their degrees of realself take an ontological step forward, then another, and another until they finally reach [...]

We Can’t Pick-and-Choose Our Alienation

February 11th, 2010 · No Comments

As people become more their realselves they become less alienated ontologically, and they develop a deeper and closer bond with reality and with the natural world—the life that exists other than our own. Men and women who reach this ontological state realize that the natural world is in fact their true home, and they develop [...]

Graham: “How do you like being married?”

February 7th, 2010 · No Comments

Most of the people who increase their degrees of realself start from the socialself world, being mostly their socialselves, and having mostly socialself-to-socialself relationships. Biographies show that there are a few people who apparently had a strong sense of their realselves for as long as they can remember, but most people start out life as [...]

Ann: “All I’ve been thinking about all week is garbage”

February 7th, 2010 · No Comments

On first hearing about them, some ontologically insensitive people may think that the socialself is the same as the realself, only a little deeper. This is not true. The two selves are structured differently, and because of their different structures they perceive themselves and all of human life and existence in different ways. The socialself [...]

Alienation in the Schools, Alienation in the Courts

January 15th, 2010 · No Comments

In a previous post, Dr. David Barton: Jesus Is My Bitch!, I explained how decreasing realself people are trying to make public schools more alienating, and a recent decision by the U.S. 6th Circuit Court of Appeals shows that the courts are being used to do the same thing.
In yet another Ten Commandments’ case, the [...]

Dr. David Barton: Jesus Is My Bitch!

January 15th, 2010 · No Comments

A few days ago UPI had a story about two guys in Texas who want the Texas Board of Education to start including Christianity’s role in social studies in its schools:
[David] Barton [of Wallbuilders] and [Rev. Peter] Marshall want Texas public schools to focus more on points of history related to Christianity. Among their suggestions [...]

Jesus Is My Bitch!

January 15th, 2010 · No Comments

Some people, ostensibly Christians, use religion and Christianity to help them bring about an alienated ontological world to match their own failed ontological states.
Many of these Christians roam the countryside looking for people who disagree with them, and then they use the Bible, God, Jesus, Christianity, and religion as weapons to attack those who do [...]

Ontological Alienation Can Be Both Good and Bad, Part 1

January 11th, 2010 · No Comments

On first reading this blog, some people will see the tags “Good Alienation” and “Bad Alienation” and wonder how alienation can ever be both good and bad. Common sense tells us that alienation is always wrong, simply because of what it is: We should not be alienated from life, from reality, or from ourselves and [...]
