Uncommon Sense

I Need to Believe…

One of the biggest myths about atheists, is that “we believe in nothing”… …a statement which could not be more false. While I can not provide you with any “party line” list of “what atheists believe”, I can tell you that every atheist individual is unique, and holds trust in a variety of things. I, […]

The Head Game of Terror…

In the course of seeking truth and justice for inter-generational relationships, probably the single most complex and troubling group to deal with…is the victim minority. This demands such a delicate approach…because the pre-existing tension is so strong, it creates an incredibly volatile environment…At times, this alone can make establishing contact and bonding, seem like an […]

The nature of human attraction

The following is a revised argument for Debate Guide. I would appreciate feedback on how it compares to the previous version (sexual character of humanity), and any possible improvements to be made. We, as humans are highly capable of separating the act of mating from sexuality itself. With our long life cycles and complex relationships, […]

Debate Guide Update

I have moved Debate Guide from its on-site location to its own domain, at debate-guide.com. For site administrators, the ftp details remain the same (simply insert [username]debateguide into the user field, instead of [username]newgon). Debate Guide remains an umbrella project of Newgon.com (the organisation, as opposed to the website), and I encourage all interested parties […]

Puzzles Of The Mind: Just What Are They After?

“The Rind Report”… …Do you know what it was about?… It was published in the highly prestigious Psychological Bulletin (a publication of the American Psychological Association)…All published research, must go through comprehensive peer review, and be cleared as sound, before it goes to the press… …so, there must have been something honest, and of value, […]

Puzzles Of The Mind: Two Questions…

I would like to pose two questions… …most specifically, these are directed towards anti sexuality proponents, who focus on “pedophiles” as their target. A) What exactly are the specific agendas, of your war? B) How exactly do you judge your own success, and arrive at the conclusion that your agendas have been accomplished? …Now, I’d […]

“Sex before eight, or else it’s too late.”

The infamous slogan of the title is said to be the motto of the René Guyon Society. Here, I outline an argument (independent of Guyon’s doctrines) that demonstrates its – naturally theoretical – appropriateness in modern society. The argument needs a background context. It is essentially this: the existing social order is based upon exploitation […]

A change in paradigm…

Maybe, it is just catching me off guard…Maybe, I’m just to accustomed to seeing the majority of child lovers retreating to shelter, and covering up from the world?… …Maybe it is because I’ve never been a member of a “face to face”, “on the streets” group like NAMBLA?… …but, I just have not arrived at […]

Our Collective Trauma

Today, participating in another debate on child sexuality, responding for the so-manieth time to the ‘argument’ that children cannot consent to sex because they do not understand it as adults do, I was struck with an insight that, while not strictly new, I had so far not realised the full significance of. Quoted here is […]

2007 Year in Review, and Looking Ahead to 08

Bon voyage 2007!!! I’ve noticed that around this time of year all the newspapers and media outlets run out their top-10 lists. For example, according to Time.com the top news story of 2007 was the unrest in Pakistan; the #1 fiction book of ’07 was The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao by Junot Díaz, […]
