Christianomics on Wednesday, June 13, 2007 4:02:54 PM
A Christianomic view requires one to take account of the Word of God while addressing the scarcities of resources we see all around us. Often it seems that discussions of issues we all face on a daily basis fail to account for the fact that all resources are limited.
The Wall Street Journal (link) tends to fail to account for the lack of economic thinking by the general audience, and by the way fails to account for the logical fallacies inherent in Keynesian economics.
The National Review Online (NRO) tends to fail to account for the fact that all conservatives don't think alike, and that you can be conservative for many different reasons.
The tendency to become intellectually complacent and feel that all right thinking people must agree with the obviousness of one's argument needs to be assiduously avoided if one actually intends to persuade, so Yours Truly will attempt to do so.
The tendency of most decision making to be fearfully shortsighted also needs to be pointed out, as Thomas Sowell has continuously said for many years (Knowledge and Decisions).
Also, arguments displaying the tendency to confuse meanings, manipulate by appeal to emotion, and embrace attractive but false propositions needs to be carefully deconstructed and rebuilt on sound logical foundations.
It will take some serious effort, but I think a Christian worldview based on reality and logic can be clearly expounded here on Townhall. I hope this vision comes true, and I hope all you readers come and enjoy the ride.
