“We are Forerunners. Guardians of all that exists. The roots of the Galaxy have grown deep under our careful tending. Where there is life, the wisdom of our countless generations has saturated the soil. Our strength is a luminous sun, towards which all intelligence blossoms… And the impervious shelter, beneath which it has prospered.”
Didactic Mind, Ep 36: Lessons from a Complete and Abject Failure
In this week’s podcast, I talk about the need for failure and the lessons that you can learn from it. I discuss how to look at failure and testing through a Christian lens and explain why those tests are necessary and important.
Here is the podcast embedded below:

Yet another Indian leftist (this one is actually born in India), expressing hate towards whites. She has the gall to say that she has to 'resist the urge to kneecap white men' :
This is insane. I am certain that these Indians are being bribed with a few shekels, by American and European Jews, to say things that ensure Indians receive the backlash when things go south.
This harridan is in the UK, but in the US, the entire country is structured to praise any non-white group that does well economically and remains low crime (since blacks have given whites nothing to work with on this front). Yet, this sort of thing means Indians will probably become the first non-white group that is outright hated despite being economically successful.
No one even remembers the first wave of Dinesh D'Souza, Bobby Jindal, and Nikki Haley. Women like this extreme racist are quickly going to become the reputation of Indians, since there are many of them now.
I am certain that these Indians are being bribed with a few shekels, by American and European Jews, to say things that ensure Indians receive the backlash when things go south.
I told you before – there are too few Indians in the USA, at least, to make any difference in that regard. The Indians that are there do not currently occupy anything like the hammerlock that Jews have in media, academia, politics, finance, and business. Nor will they for at least another full generation, by which point it will be too late.
I am certain that these Indians are being bribed with a few shekels, by American and European Jews, to say things that ensure Indians receive the backlash when things go south.
Unlikely. As I've pointed out before, the global Left has a very entrenched hold in Indian academia and political institutions, and Prof. Gopal is a product of those institutions herself. If you read that woman's CV, she is the daughter of an Indian diplomant, went to an international school in Vienna, attended elite universities in India and then came to the US for her PhD at Cornell.
In other words, she is a dyed-in-the-wool globalist and always has been. There is no difference between her and your typical American white liberal in this regard.
No one even remembers the first wave of Dinesh D'Souza, Bobby Jindal, and Nikki Haley.
None of whom are anything much more than civic nationalists who have already fallen for the equalitarian lie. Nimrata Randhawa, in particular, has no problem with accommodating the Left's agenda to erase American history.
They are nothing more than Establishment conservatives who, as usual, fail to conserve much of anything.
Women like this extreme racist are quickly going to become the reputation of Indians, since there are many of them now.
I've stated plainly for a while now that racism is nothing new among Indians, and indeed Indians are among the worst racists around. That is ingrained in Hindu culture and has been for about 1,500 years since the introduction of the caste system – you can see the results at a genetic level.
I told you before – there are too few Indians in the USA, at least, to make any difference in that regard.
The number does not have to be that large, nor do they have to be in positions of power. They can be the ones who get the blame and bear the backlash, even as things are now.
Whether they are being set up to take the fall by Western Jews, or whether their foolish rhetoric is of their own volition, Indians are set to be among the most hated groups. This is irrespective of whether 4M in the US and 2M in the UK is a large number or not.
In other words, she is a dyed-in-the-wool globalist and always has been.
She is much worse than a mere globalist. A globalist is not automatically a bad person, a socialist, or a racist. She is an outright hatemonger.
To make an entire race or group into a compelling scapegoat, you first need to give people a reason to hate them. Jews were hated throughout the Christian West, particularly in Eastern Europe, for a very straightforward reason – they murdered Jesus Christ and then took the guilt for their sin upon themselves and their children. They made the problem worse for themselves repeatedly and throughout European history by their very nature as a high-performance, low-trust culture and ensconcing themselves within the fields of medicine, banking, and law. They were expelled from England and Spain and put in ghettos and subjected to pogroms in large part because they happily worked with foreign Islamic occupiers against their Christian neighbours.
There is no such broad-based rationale – YET – for Indians in most of the West, though I must admit that they're coming awfully close to it in the UK. Asian communities there, particularly Pakistani and Bangladeshi ones, are deeply inbred, dyscivic, and a heavy burden upon both the healthcare and criminal justice systems – see Islamic grooming gangs and the vast yawning chasm of media silence thereto.
But in the USA, no such rationale exists. Indians are not in charge of the banking sector – that's predominantly WASP and Jewish – and they are only marginally in charge of the tech sector at companies like Microsoft and Google and in specific places like Silicon Valley and Seattle. They do not yet have control over multiple institutions such as academia, the media, and others. Nor do they yet present a significant existential threat to White culture the way that South Asians, especially Muslims, do to British culture.
To make an entire race or group into a compelling scapegoat, you first need to give people a reason to hate them.
True, but I am curious as to why you think Indians aren't giving whites a reason to hate them. Just look at what that leftist Indian woman said, and a new one seems to be cropping up daily. Indian YouTuber Lily Singh has 15M subscribers, but is leftist/anti-white all day long.
Unz Review is at the other extreme, of course, but the anti-Indian articles are coming thick and fast (which is predictable given how many Indian leftists are coming out of the woodwork with specific anti-white statements) :
I am curious as to why you think Indians aren't giving whites a reason to hate them
I do not claim that Indians in America do not give Whites a reason to hate them. Indians in America give Whites a very wide range of reasons to hate them, ranging from their infiltration of American tech companies (and the accompanying collapse in product quality) to their introduction of India's abominable caste system into American workplaces to their extremely irritating personal habits and noisiness and general lack of hygiene.
I am saying that Indians in America have not yet given Whites a truly compelling reason to be used as scapegoats. Not yet.
Indian influence is currently largely isolated to specific pockets of the country. Indians have not rioted en masse the way that Blacks have, repeatedly. Nor have they been responsible for serious gang violence the way that Hispanics have. Nor do they control significant cultural institutions like Jews do.
They might get to the point eventually where they are numerous and ill-behaved enough to justify a violent reaction from their White hosts. But the general White perception of Indians right now is that they are mostly a decent, high-IQ, hardworking bunch of people with amusing accents and funny customs and spicy food who tend to make good hotel managers and restaurant owners and tech workers.
Contrast this with White opinions of Blacks, which most Whites dare not express out loud. The trope of crossing the street when you see a gang of Black yoots coming toward you is based on real fear of their violence and unpredictability. That reaction doesn't really exist when Whites interact with Indians, because Indians don't get spontaneously violent like that quite so easily.
As for the fact that so many Indian Leftists are emerging right now – well, that simply outlines a good case for deporting foreign-born and foreign-descended Leftists ASAFP. Which, if America were truly as bad as those Leftists think, would become policy tomorrow.
This curious tolerance for people who hate you is largely confined to Whites, from what I've observed. Even in Russia, where the Putin government's tolerance for criticism is not exactly high, people can criticise the government up to a point without any fear whatsoever of being reported on by their neighbours or called "unpatriotic". That is unique to Whites. Try to pull the same stunt in China and you'll be sent to prison. Try to criticise Hinduism or eat a cheeseburger in India and you'll be lynched.
They were expelled from England and Spain and put in ghettos and subjected to pogroms in large part because they happily worked with foreign Islamic occupiers against their Christian neighbours.
Yes you are right with Spain. To me it was understandable why they kicked out the Jews after the Reconquista.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Jews_in_Spain
This is from wikipedia very left wing but read the Moorish Invasion but I have read in the past on many counts similar things.
"For the most part, the invasion of the Moors was welcomed by the Jews of Iberia.
Both Muslim and Catholic sources tell us that Jews provided valuable aid to the invaders."
The threat of Muslim invasion to the Spanish never went away until a least the mid 18th century at which point the threat become France and England. Even at the height of Spanish power they fighting the Ottoman Turks both Sea and land for at least 250.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Ottoman%E2%80%93Spanish_conflicts
Ottoman throughout the 15th to 17th centuries had the largest land army. The Navy was the largest and most powerful during the 15th century to the early to mid 16th century. Even mid 16th to about early 17th it was still second largest only behind Spain.
I would say it is like having any hostile minority, they will play nice when times are peaceful but when the wind changes they will quickly change sides or desert their positions.
Look at Hungary or Italy during WW2 while Germany was winning they were willing to help. They knew if they pick the Allies before 1943 they would quickly get taken over. As the War played out and tide was changing they change sides. These are Nations and leader that were never hostile to Germany or Hitler before 1943.
In actual fact, pogroms and Inquisitions are not originally Christian concepts. They are Islamic ones, born out of the Caliphate in Spain. The very first Inquisition was conducted by Islamic Iberians against recent Jewish and Christian converts to Islam who were suspected of maintaining their old faith.
There is a set of three excellent books to recommend on the subject of Islamic expansion into Europe:
1. The Myth of the Andalusian Paradise: Muslims, Christians, and Jews under Islamic Rule in Medieval Spain by Dario Fernandez-Morera;
2. Mohammed and Charlemagne Revisited: The History of a Controversy by Emmet Scott;
3. The Impact of Islam by Emmet Scott
There is also Andrew Bostom's collection of the writings of various authors, The Legacy of Jihad: Islamic Holy War and the Fate of Non-Muslims, which is excellent. I've read all of these books and that last one occupies – or rather, occupied – a special place on my bookshelf (back before I moved all my stuff into storage).
These books will show you very quickly just how much of what we know about the history of Islam is a complete and total lie.
Yes Emmet Scott books are good very insightful, I have read them both and would recommend them to those that want to learn about our world today and the threat of Islam. I think I learnt more about the dark ages in the book Mohammed and Charlemagne Revisited: The History of a Controversy than all of my schooling. The books argument of the impact of Islam on the post Roman World is backed up with facts especially on trade. It helped change my opinion on the dark ages and Christianity all the way back in 2017, it is that impressionable. Also the Persian involvement in the religion, well it very interesting and if true it would change what we think of Muhammad, Arabs and Islam.
In the past I used to believe that the dark ages was cause by Christianity, this was from my high school education and edward gibbon decline and fall of the roman empire book. I end up reading a bit of Tom Woods and things like The Origins of War in Child Abuse (the infanticide that went on in Pagan Rome) that change my opinion on Christianity, Catholic Church and what are some of causes on why Rome decline.
I have to admit that many different works and people have influence what I thought I knew to what is more likely to of being the case.
I just order the other 2 books you suggested. I will get back to you when I am done.
By the by did you know that the Spanish in part paid Christopher Columbus Voyages because the Turks had shut down the spice road and the threat of Islam they were trying to get to India (no.1 economy at the time) for both trade and perhaps alliances.
Also can I ask a question. In your opinion and knowing that it is impossible to really know what does the world look like (let say up to 1000AD since the further you go the more impossible it would be to image) if Islam does not exist? (or least get defeated and killed off in the early years)
I have to admit that many different works and people have influence what I thought I knew to what is more likely to of being the case.
I'm a big fan of Emmet Scott's work. I haven't read his book about the "Phantom Time" theory, but The New English Review has a pretty good archive of his articles which are well worth reading.
Like you, I grew up with the "mainstream" view of the Dark Ages as the result of Christian oppression and backwardness. And like you, it was those two books that changed my mind.
I just order the other 2 books you suggested. I will get back to you when I am done.
Ah. I rather hoped you'd do that using the links I posted – they are affiliate links of mine.
By the by did you know that the Spanish in part paid Christopher Columbus Voyages because the Turks had shut down the spice road and the threat of Islam they were trying to get to India (no.1 economy at the time) for both trade and perhaps alliances.
Yep. I forget the exact name of the book, but my mum (who is a history teacher) had a big thick book sitting around somewhere which talked about how Columbus's voyages were part of a huge multi-century war of civilisations between Islam and Christianity.
In your opinion and knowing that it is impossible to really know what does the world look like (let say up to 1000AD since the further you go the more impossible it would be to image) if Islam does not exist? (or least get defeated and killed off in the early years)
Start here, then come back to me if you still have more questions.
Thank you, the article it was a good read. I think I have only been reading your blog since 2018, so it is good to see your older material. It is also awesome to see that you were thinking about these ideas for much longer time than many of us. Anyway have a nice day.
