“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.”
Yes, late again, I know. No, I don’t have an excuse this time, either. All I will say is, of late, I have been reading through Meditations by Marcus Aurelius, and let’s just say, it has gotten me thinking, about quite a lot. Bertrand Russell – an...
I do not think anyone around here seriously argues against the view that the West is currently is a state of free-fall, and headed toward total collapse. While living standards in the West remain high by international standards – trust me on that one, I know...
And just like that, the weekend disappeared, exactly in line with the outcome promised by the young magician above. Mondays really do SUCK. Unfortunately, there is nothing whatsoever we can do about that – except, of course, by wasting as much time as possible,...

The latest episode of the Didactic Mind podcast is back, finally, with a look at the collapsing Western empire. I discuss the ways in which the West is getting worse and worse – to the point where Western nations can barely figure out how to keep the lights on...
Here we go again, yet another Monday to drag ourselves through and beyond… Fortunately, where I am, it is a public holiday. Unfortunately, putting one of these compilations together tends to take quite a long time, so a lot of that free time gets chewed up...
9 And Nehemiah, who was the governor, and Ezra the priest and scribe, and the Levites who taught the people said to all the people, “This day is holy to the Lord your God; do not mourn or weep.” For all the people wept as they heard the words of the Law. 10 Then he...
