Introduction post

Welcome to Mind Salivation, a non-euclidean politics blog.

Our goal is to be an open ground for different ideas. A place where different ideologies can meet. I have recently been studying World War I, and learned about the fear in Germany and the rest of the west of the bolshevik movement. Military leaders feared bolshevikism like a disease that would infect and destroy, more deadly than conventional weapons. This is a way of thinking I have trouble identifying with. Why suppress ideology? I believe it is in open engagement between ideas that truth comes forth.  So that is what this blog is, three writers, with differing ideologies, sharing our views. We are open to others with differing views to contribute to the blog as well. Because it is when we engage with each other that we become better.

So what does non-euclidean even mean? Well to be clear, we are referring to Euclid, the father of geometry. Some people view politics in a very two-dimensional way, the left and the right. But politics is so much more complex than that. Two dimensions isn’t enough, and an euclidean plane is just that, a two-dimensional plane. In fact, we plan of hosting a whole multiverse of political opinions. Maybe even some political string theory! Thats is kind of a joke. But really, we do want to explore multiple ideas.

Now why the name Mind Salivation?  This blog isn’t about food or hunger; our minds need nourishment as well, something to munch on aside from massive amounts of entertainment. Mind Salivation aims to provide something we can think about to improve our lives. In the words of Vermin Supreme: “For too long this country has been suffering a great moral and oral decay in spirit and incisors.” But really, the idea is that this blog will help stimulate minds in the search of political truth.

We plan on covering a variety of issues. Universal basic income, the corruption of the two party system, the problem with the prison system, the influence of the military-industrial complex, the banking system’s effect in our economy, modern day propaganda, the founding of the United States, state political parties, the government “hook” and the nature of democracy itself.
Now, stay tuned as new content comes underway and may your mind ever hunger for knowledge!
