“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.”

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...

Domain Query: Writing advice

A reader emailed recently and essentially asked two questions: Do you ever re-read your own writing? How do you avoid sounding like a massive tool when you write? I answered his queries privately in an email, but I think these questions are important enough to answer...

The cost of marriage

The ever-entertaining, ever-insightful Terrence Popp put up a video over at Redonkulas.com a while back that weighed up the expenses of being single versus married for the “average” American. The mathematics, as you will see, are brutal: For all that...

The root of all success

Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which he received of us. For yourselves know how ye ought to follow us: for we behaved not ourselves...

How to fail completely on a date

Despite the rude things I say about women and feminists- both online and in person- my sister and I remain very close, which is why whenever she comes over we try to spend some time together and go out for a nice dinner somewhere at least once. The other night we were...

From the Meetup: Not everyone wants to be free

(This is the second in a series of posts dealing with my thoughts on various topics that came up during our Singapore meetup late last year. As always comments and criticism are of course welcomed, especially from the guys who were there. Oh, and I owe one of the guys...

Domain Query: Mo’ women, mo’ problems

The venerable Halfbreed had a question regarding my post on marriage: What are your thoughts on plural marriage? You know, sister wives?Let’s get the doctrinaire stuff out of the way right now: for reasons moral, economic, spiritual, and practical, I am...

(Not exactly) A field report

Another weekend, another opportunity to post about introverted game. In all honesty, the reason I don’t post about game much- or as much as I should- is because I haven’t done very much about it for a while. That said, on Friday evening an opportunity came...

Ghost Rider

In 1998, Neil Peart, the greatest goddamn drummer of all ti- er, I mean, the drummer and lyricist of RUSH, lost his daughter in a freak accident as she was driving to college. Shortly after that, he lost his wife to cancer, though he maintained that she died from a...

Notes from an(other) Asian wedding

I got back last weekend from a week in Calcutta. That particular time of year, around about mid-December, is always considered particularly “auspicious” for weddings (don’t ask me why, I don’t understand pagan festival timings very well),...
