The following article, Life is a Classroom and Leftists Keep Skipping Class, was first published on The Black Sphere.
Life is a relentless teacher. Whether you recognize it or not, you are constantly learning. That said, learning doesn’t care if you’re paying attention.
You can ignore life’s lessons, misinterpret them, or even reject them outright, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t happening.
Psychologists call this implicit learning—the process of absorbing patterns and behaviors without consciously trying. It’s why children pick up language before they ever study grammar, and why you might instinctively know how to navigate a social situation without being taught. But here’s the problem: not everyone processes these lessons correctly. Some people grow, adapt, and refine themselves, while others double down on bad habits, bad thinking, and outright delusion.
The good news? Most of us, knowingly or not, make tiny adjustments as we go. We take life’s feedback—mistakes, successes, gut feelings—and we tweak ourselves into slightly better versions of who we were yesterday. Call it evolution, call it maturity, but the ability to recognize when we need to change is what separates intelligence from ignorance. And here’s my simple guidance for those wondering if they can improve: YES, YOU CAN.
So What’s Stopping You?
For most of us, nothing. We want to improve. Even people with wildly different worldviews seek self-betterment in their own way.
Take the LGBTQ lobby. Love them or hate them, they’ve mastered the art of demanding visibility. Now, have they gone overboard? Absolutely. But credit where it’s due—they’ve made society wrestle with ideas of identity, forcing even skeptics like me to consider perspectives I might otherwise dismiss.
Do I condone their lifestyle? No. But do I understand their need for acknowledgment? Yes. That’s the balance of maturity—you don’t have to agree with someone to understand their struggle.
The same principle applies to people with psychological conditions far more troubling. For example, I mentioned recently that I feel most sorry for individuals burdened with the horrifying mental wiring that makes them see children as sexual objects. Imagine being trapped in that brain—knowing your thoughts are monstrous, fighting an internal battle that should never exist. If I were in that position, I’d be suicidal. Now, let me be crystal clear: I have zero sympathy for those who act on it. They should be locked up and thrown away. But for the ones who resist, I can acknowledge their torment.
Why bring this up? Because our understanding of human nature should evolve. Not in a way that compromises our moral foundation, but in a way that allows us to see people for what they are—flawed, messy, sometimes broken, but ultimately human.
The Conservative Approach to Morality
Conservatives understand human nature better than anyone. We don’t fall for the Left’s utopian nonsense that all behavior should be normalized. We recognize that some actions are inherently destructive. But we also believe in the principle “hate the sin, love the sinner.”
Contrast that with the Left, who pretend to be the party of tolerance while being the most judgmental, ruthless ideologues in modern history. They claim to care about humanity, yet they excuse the most depraved behaviors imaginable.
They pack our prisons. They glorify criminals. They redefine violent crime as “misunderstood behavior.” They make excuses for murderers, rapists, and human traffickers while attacking law-abiding citizens for merely expressing conservative views.
Psychologists call this moral disengagement—the mental gymnastics people use to justify their own hypocrisy and cruelty. It’s how radical activists can scream about “justice” while excusing looting, arson, and even murder if it serves their political cause. It’s why they’ll defend a convicted killer as a “victim of systemic oppression” while calling a suburban dad a “Nazi” for voting Republican.
The Psychology of Madness
There’s an old saying: It’s not that liberals don’t know anything—it’s that so much of what they know isn’t true.
The Left has become a case study in cognitive dissonance, the psychological discomfort people feel when reality contradicts their beliefs. Instead of adjusting their worldview, they double down, screaming louder, silencing dissent, and rewriting history.
When conservatives see crime, we say, “That’s wrong. That person must be held accountable.”
When Leftists see crime, they say, “Well, let’s consider the root causes. Maybe society is to blame. Maybe it’s your fault.”
This isn’t empathy—it’s insanity. And it’s why their worldview is crumbling.
Final Thought
Life is a classroom. Some people learn. Others skip class and try to rewrite the textbook. But no matter how hard they resist reality, the test is coming. And reality always grades on a curve that favors the truth.
