Sunday Sermon

The following post is fictious.  According to Snopes: In March 2013, shortly after Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio of Argentina (now Pope Francis) was selected to succeed the retiring Pope Benedict XVI as Pope of the Catholic Church, a transcript purporting to document an unaired interview between then-Cardinal Bergoglio and an American journalist was circulated on the Internet. The transcript was originally posted to the web site of the UK’s Diocese of Salford, Nonetheless it is a beautifully written piece of fiction.  You don’t need to be a Catholic to appreciate this, you just need to be a real Man.  It’s...

Generational Theory & the Upcoming Crisis

There are some pretty bold claims made by myself and others in the alt-right, but they’re not without data and theoretical backing.  This is a long video, but I tried to keep it as intellectually-dense as possible.  Generational cycle theory points out that we’re in a crisis, whose resolution will arrive sometime around the mid 2020’s, and there are several factors which show how unsustainable this whole thing is.

What is the Nature of Good?

ͼ-Ѻ-ͽ The Interrogation of the Good By Brecht Step forward: we hear That you are a good man. You cannot be bought, but the lightning Which strikes the house, also Cannot be bought. You hold to what you said. But what did you say? You are honest, you say your opinion. Which opinion? You are brave. Against whom? You are wise. For whom? You do not consider your personal advantages. Whose advantages do you consider then? You are a good friend. Are you also a good friend of the good people? Hear us then: we know. You are our enemy....

The Drake Equation & Fermi’s Paradox

The team over at Extra Credits – normally a series about video game design and narrative construction – decided to go in a different route, and examine the question of whether alien life exists through the prism of “Should we be funding X-Com?” If you haven’t made a habit out of reading 10,000 word treatises on the subject, you should find it quite interesting – and even if you have, you might pick up a thing or two from it. ͼ-Ѻ-ͽ And now your moment of Zen: Pickup your own Glorious Hat today! ͼ-Ѻ-ͽ My novel My Twitter

The Past Just Ain’t What it Used to Be.

The Root Cause of Feminism One of the things that really stands out about Reactionaries – whether you’re talking about Wagner, Stoddard, or Mencken – is their ability to be downright prescient about the future.  Where areas most predictions are based upon of self-serving and unsubstantiated political faiths, the True Reactionary makes a Mistress out of truth. Nowhere is this more obvious than with the anti-suffragettes. All of the problems with feminism which we articulate in the Manosphere today were thoroughly delineated by Reactionary writers a century back: The foolishness of women voters (“sexy” presidents and socialism) Dropping birthrates Old...

Humanism: An Ethos of Death

The Devil’s Advocate VS. The Grand Inquisitor There’s something compelling about movies with the Devil in them; The Devil’s Advocate is one of the best portrayals I’ve seen, and it leaves you with the sneaking suspicion that it’s not a metaphor; that at some point in the nineties this actually happened… only in the real world there was no happy ending. The plot follows a small-town lawyer who’s never lost a case (played by Keeanu Reeves), being seduced to New York where he becomes a high-paid gun for the city’s corrupt and broken rich, while his wife slowly goes mad. ...
