Conservatives have so many policy disagreements with progressives that it’s hard to keep track of them all. However, they all stem from three fundamental errors—the meta-errors of progressives and progressivism.
These are: an unjustified faith in government competence, an irrational belief in the power of human will, and what I call “the tyranny of good intentions.â€

Meta, Jeta, Beta; is blather confusing what is direct and simple.
Around 1715, the French Enlightenment arose to first challenge,
then reject the traditional impulses and sentiments of Man
which were the basis for the moral order that governed his
behavior; anchored by the Natural Law and having been in place
for thousands of years earlier.
In it's place, revolutionaries such as Rousseau promoted rationalism
whose most obvious characteristic was materialism, as the new way
of thinking that would transform Man and by extension, culture/society.
Indeed we have paid dearly for that transformation, as a brief
assessment of all the man-made horrors that have occurred since
1715 stand out in mute testament.
