“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.”

Parasite or paragon?

I started reading a book called Corporateland: Surviving Cubicle Warfare by everyone’s favourite asshole uncle – no, not Terrence Popp, though he will always get a salute from this blog for his good work – Frank Cervi. On the very first page is...

A life for a life

The question of whether or not to use the death penalty to punish truly evil criminals used to be a non-starter. You can go back over 10,000 years in history, and you will find that, all the way up until about the 20th Century, the death penalty was considered a...

The future belongs to those who show up

Is it possible to abolish war by relieving population pressure (and thus do away with the all-too-evident evils of war) through constructing a moral code under which population is limited to resources? Without debating the usefulness or morality of planned parenthood,...

So monogamy doesn’t work?

Articles on The Daily Mail are a lot like potato chips in a packet: you know that they are really bad for you, but once you start, you can’t quite resist indulging in one after another after another. This is partly why I don’t seem to get a whole...

Convulsions of a dying empire

History is strewn with the wrecks of nations which have gained a little progressiveness at the cost of a great deal of hard manliness, and have thus prepared themselves for destruction as soon as the movements of the world have a chance for it. — Walter Bagehot...

Rules don’t matter in a failing nation

His Most Beneficent and Legendary Astral Majesty, the God-Emperor of Mankind, Donaldus Triumphus Magnus, recently caused some really severe ass-pain for a bunch of “Americans” originally from the Dirt World who just happen to be freshmen Congresscritters...

Domain Query: Be grateful for your tests

Gents, honestly, last weekend was pretty damned rough for me, for a number of personal reasons. So it was with great surprise and considerable pleasure that I received not one, but two emails from readers expressing appreciation for my work. The first conversation...

Guest Post: Why Are Women More Left-Wing Than Men?

Today I am pleased and honoured to provide a guest post by a writer named Jack Vitel. He is originally from France, and now lives in Russia, and he contacted me recently to see if I was interested in a post about why women are more left-wing than men, and assorted...

Domain Query: Antidotes to despair

Commenter jg1 had some interesting points to add to my recent post that took the MGTOW movement to task for spreading despair: I cannot for the life me find any evidence that MGTOW is a movement? Can you point me to where I can find its leadership and where it obtains...

The programmed mind

Now here is a curious and rather interesting video on the subjects of perception, identity, and self-realisation that argues – quite persuasively, I might add – that virtually everything you do is an unconscious programmed reaction dictated by what you...
