A lot of good thoughts in here. Thanks for sharing.
One quick note about logos: a lot of the push for less detailed logos also has to do with how the use and application of logos has evolved. Logos now need to be easily reproducible and scalable, particularly for mobile.
That said, I am not a huge fan of the *debranding* trend right now and find a lot of contemporary logo designâwhile aesthetically slick and technically well doneânonetheless uninspired and lacking in a humanness.
And another quick note about overall underlying causes: fiat is most certainly a major culprit but our ideas and ideals around aesthetics, beauty, art, and design are downstream of what we believe and value as a people. So while a sound money standard would go a long way in addressing the matter of dullness, this is most fundamentally a worldview issue.
I don't wholly disagree with many of your points but, respectfully, I think a few things are worth noting:
Nations and centralized federal governments are not exactly the same thing. To love one's nationâto be nationalisticâis to love one's people. Those who share in a common vision, language, set of values, heritage, and/or underlying worldview.
National borders are not mere fabrications created by the fiat cartel. Nations have always had borders for the same reasons you lock your doors at night. Borders are abused and politicised by bad actors, but borders are not an inherent evil. Quite the opposite. Freedom requires boundaries and constraints.
You have three options: tribalism, nationalism, and globalism. Individuals have a kind of sovereignty, yes, but this isn't a viable fourth option because people don't organize themselves around individualist principles. That's a very modern notion. Rather, we are made for community. Tribalism is too narrow and doesn't allow for civilization. Globalism is too broad and doesn't allow for healthy layers of local community and jurisdictions.
Nationalism is, in principle, the likeliest way to achieve the most freedom for a people's while also allowing for the progress, construction, innovation, and exploration required to establish or maintain a society/civilization.
Good stuff to ponder. A few shotgun thoughts:
I can have righteous indignation over evil BECAUSE of love.
We should be chiefly concerned with confronting the evil in our own hearts.
Enemies and neighbors are most often one and the same. In light of this, I can call for God to judge the enemies of Christâpray imprecatory prayersâwhile showing love to my *direct* enemies, or those in my orbit. When praying God judge his enemiesâto destroy themâthat often means to destroy the works of darkness and turn them to Christ, but it can also mean, in God's perfect wisdom, to bring relief to his people by removing the enemies from the face of the earth.

I have had some issues with it but I am assuming it has more to do with running Orbot than the website.

The original with Stewart is great. Well worth a watch.
I just watched the original The Shop Around the Corner. Stewart is great in that movie too, and I think there is enough Christmas in it for it to qualify as a Christmas movie. đ
This is also where retrieval of the preindustrial productive home is important too. Because the husband shared in a majority of the domestic duties of the home, as did the children. But because it is still in line with women's nature to be the oikodespot, the burden still falls on her on top of corporate duties.
The best way for this to change is more integrated households, where what we have come to expect as outsourced dutiesâeducation, economic activity, hospitality, etcâare all brought back into the home. This can have a variety of expressions, of course, but so long as children are shipped off to school, husband and wife go their own way corporately, and the home is merely a place where a family sleeps and keeps their stuff, it will be more of the same, with people grasping for something like the 50s mythical housewife not realizing what they likely want is a real, integrated household.
Leagues better than in a dehumanizing cubical under florecents and some other man's authority. Or than trying to keep up with the men and becomes feminist boss babe.
Ideal is that a woman contribute to the economic productivity of the home but not as a corporate wage slave. Hard to achieve but more possible now than it has been in a century.
Preindustrial householdsâand early postindustrial households too, depending on the family occupationâwere organized in such a way that the wife and mother was the oikodespotâthe household managerâand was indeed a housewife, but was also involved in the economic activity of the home. Often, to such a degree that when a husband would die, the wife knew enough about his craft to keep the family business going.
Proverbs 31 also indicates that the righteous woman is righteously submissive AND gloriously industrious.
The 50s era mythic housewife was the result of the postindustrial fragmentation of the family (which spurred first wave feminism) and any man who wants one out of some *RETVRN motivated attempt at subverting the current system* is not reaching back far enough in history. His household will still fall short of the glory it could have otherwise obtained.
