Civanticism is a contemporary creed and code of conduct. It is a philosophy founded on compassion and reason. It is a practice that seeks equanimity and equilibrium, a discipline forged in diligence and truth. It is pragmatic wisdom from East and West, ancient and modern, scientific and spiritual, balanced in a holistic doctrine that gives the practitioner purpose, values and a coherent canon by which to flourish in a changing world of challenges where antiquated dogmas are ill-equipped to cope.
Civanticism — The reason of Humanism and the compassion of Buddhism, with a touch of snark for good measure.

We are all exposed to the same river of propaganda and disinformation in our societies. Yet some chose to dive deep into it while others climb out at the earliest opportunity. To be thrown into the sludge is not choice, but to stay in, is.
A person confident in their beliefs is able to walk their path alone. Only cowards and control freaks insist others walk the same path they do.
Half of philosophy is trying to figure out the good, how best to live one's life, and the other half is trying to figure out plausible justifications for not doing it.
Those who love peace must learn to organize as effectively as those who love war. ~MLK
When we argue with a fool, so are they.
The old adage that "People are at their best when things are at their worst" isn't fully true. Hard times are like alcohol - it exposes and amplifies a person's true nature. Good people become better and bad people become worse.
If we are uncomfortable examining and questioning our own beliefs and opinions, this says much about our beliefs and opinions.
We are all indoctrinated, to one degree or another, and the first lesson of indoctrination is that we have not been indoctrinated, but rather that all we are about to be spoon-fed is the natural order of things that we have consented to believe of our own free will.
