Is POM a Left Wing site?
If you think Philosophy of Metrics (POM) is left-wing, just look at these two posts …
I don’t agree with everything on the site by any means. I read from a wide variety of sources and while I am skeptical & cynical, I have found the site to be quite instructive.

I used to follow this blog and admit i never understood much of it.
This is just too way out there for my simple mind I guess….
Edit…I take it back that second article is very good ( don’t mind me…it’s a tough day here)
So what happened to this guy…..
Why is he not out here commenting on the greatest story in human history
The Great Scandemic of 2020
I think his Day Job got in the way of his Blog but who knows. What I do know that he was very convinced that Elites had been using the Hegelian dialectic process to control the disorganized masses since at least the early 1800’s (I think it has been much longer than that).
Hegel was a philosopher who believed that a contradictory process between opposing sides could create “synthesis” or a desired outcome. He codified the process but it was by no means new, IMO.
He also posted something on Pandemics and Lockdowns well before Covid-19 happend. If I can dig it up, I may post it.
Here is a brief primer on Hegel and his philosophy for those who have interest. Professor Anthony Sutton produced a great deal of research & books that refer to the Elites as the “Order” but I call them the Swamp. Much of Sutton’s findings can be found on Youtube (i.e. Skull & Bones, Bolshevik Revolution, the rise of Hitler, etc.)
The operational history of The Order can only be understood within a framework of the Hegelian dialectic process. Quite simply, this is the notion that conflict creates history. From this axiom it follows that controlled conflict can create a predetermined history…
In Hegelian terms, an existing force (the thesis) generates a counterforce (the anti-thesis). Conflict between the two forces results in the forming of a synthesis… The synthesis sought by the Establishment is called a New World Order… And this is being done with the calculated, managed use of conflict… The “conflict” builds profits while pushing the world ever closer to One World Government.
