“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.”

The will to win

“No, no, no. A vigilante is just a man lost in the scramble for his own gratification. He can destroyed, or locked up. But, if you become MORE than just a man, if you devote yourself to an ideal… and if they can’t stop you… Then, you...

Be a Man: Fight Club

The Way of Fight Club Jack Donovan’s book, The Way of Men, is short, punchy, and to-the-point. It is, in my opinion, required reading for anyone who starts taking regular doses of the red pill and finds himself stumbling around, dazed and blinded, from getting...

Perhaps the single most unnerving thing about taking your first doses of the red pill comes from seeing just how much of what you thought you knew, is completely wrong. No matter the age at which the Truth Hammer* smashes into your forehead, and you find yourself...

Happy fool’s day

You gotta love April 1st. It may be the second most contrived “holiday” on Earth- Valentine’s Day takes the cake for being the most absurd and pointless- but the great thing about Fool’s Day is that you have an excuse to get away with all...

The phalanx

laidnyc wrote a very interesting post recently about his thoughts regarding an impending usurpation of the ‘Sphere by those who seek to hijack our mad little corner of the world: In ancient times, walled cities were built to protect against invading tribes. As...

A picture is worth 575,000 words

Apparently, the entire Twihard Saga contains approximately 575,100 words in total. And yes, I do want returned to my life the five seconds or so that I spent Googling that. Which is why we all owe a great debt of gratitude to the fine people over at Cracked.com...
