“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.

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...

The chicken-or-egg question

Uh… it does? As mentioned in my review of David P. Goldman’s book, How Civilisations Die (and Why Islam is Dying Too), the author, better known as the online conservative columnist Spengler, peppered that same book with a series of thought-provoking...

Israel aborts its future

Churchianity is worse than atheism

A left-liberal Christian argues that it is possible to hold socially conservative yet fiscally liberal views simultaneously without contradiction, and as usual completely misses the point of Christ’s Ministry: Powers described her gradual progression from...

Dual-wielding is awesome nonsense

As a result of my need to feed my massive HALO addiction, I’ve been replaying the games from HALO WARS all the way through to HALO 4 once again. It’s something I do every 3-6 months, partly to remind myself of just how amazing that game series still is,...

“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...
