“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.”

Leadership 101

Gunnery Sergeant R. Lee Ermey- yeah, that R. Lee Ermey- has an interesting piece on leadership published today, in honour of Veteran’s Day: Leadership cannot be taught! I can’t do it, the Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps can’t do it, and instructors at...

“Le Roi est mort, vive le Roi”

The Observer added his own thoughts in response to mine regarding the best way to structure government. Go read the whole thing, it’s very good and he’s clearly put a LOT of thought into his writing- which is one of the reasons why I read his work, of...

Domain Query: Democracy, monarchy, and oligarchy

My opposite number from back home had some interesting things to say regarding my comments on Blackdragon’s unusual lapse of reason: And now you realise why the very idea of Lockean rights is so damaging. Regardless of how vile, damaging or stupid it is, people...

A completely predictable fiasco

That’s what Obamacare has been so far: Health insurance companies have already notified at least 3.5 million Americans that their plans are being cancelled as a result of Obamacare.  That number, reported Monday by the Associated Press, is the latest data...

“Sustainable” immigration

Hail and Kill!

Vox Day issues a call to arms that is sure to stir the blood of every Manospherian: It is no use for the Right to primly disapprove and declare “that’s not sporting, old chap”. When one side clings to the Marquess of Queensbury rules while the other...

Jerusalem

ND did those feet in ancient time Walk upon England’s mountains green? And was the holy Lamb of God On England’s pleasant pastures seen? And did the Countenance Divine Shine forth upon our clouded hills? And was Jerusalem builded here Among these dark...

Happy HELLOWEEN

Halloween is surely the most pointless, overdone, and historically inaccurate “holiday” of the lot. Fortunately, a band came along waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back in 1986 with an album called Keeper of the Seven Keys that forever changed the nature and tempo...

A rare and unusual mistake

Blackdragon’s blog is one of the best sources of advice out there for introverted guys like me about dating, money, investing, and a number of other things. I’m also a fan of his books- if you’re looking to develop your online game, his ebooks are...

Fifty Shades of Complete Disaster

I am admittedly quite late to this story, but then I have rather better things to do than worry about who’s starring in the latest godawful stupid idea from a Hollywood studio system that has very clearly run out of ideas: Charlie Hunnam, the erstwhile star of...
