“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.”

How to be resilient

How to be resilient

It’s been a while since I did a decent write-up for The Agoge, and I figure that we’re long overdue for a post in that section. In particular, I want to come back to a subject that I’ve addressed before – the importance and nature of...

Jezebel eyes

Our good friend, The Male Brain, sent over an article the other day to feature in one of our Great Mondaydact Browser Butcher compilations, concerning an Instathot who struggles with narcissistic personality disorder. The moment I opened it up and looked at the...

Domain Query: Genetics is NOT destiny

I had a rather odd drive-by comment from someone who calls himself Genetics is destiny on that post from a while back about Billzebub the Gates’s imploded marriage with MELinda the Dude. (For some reason, that is now THE most popular poast I’ve ever...

As you can see from the near-complete lack of activity, it has been a very, very busy week for me. But that has not quite stopped me from checking out amusingly stupid things on TEH YOOTOOBZ from time to time. And few things are more stupid, or more amusing, than a...

Didactic Mind, Ep 86: The Call to Arms

This week’s episode of Didactic Mind is all about embracing the conflict that we find ourselves embroiled in – physically, mentally, and most importantly, spiritually. I talk about the world we are living in right now, built on lies as it is, and I walk...
Lessons of War, Pt. 2: The Beast in the East

Lessons of War, Pt. 1: Red Storm Rising

Lessons of War, Pt. 1: Red Storm Rising

Given the sabre-rattling going on in the South and especially East China Sea right now, it is worth asking whether the American military and its regional allies can do anything whatsoever to win a war against the world’s largest navy and second largest air...

Don’t get high on your own supply

A few years back, our good friend The Male Brain brought an internet flame-war to my attention that I thought merited its own post. Normally, I could not care less about such silliness. But the flame-war in question concerned a man who used to be a pretty big deal in...

The dyslexic voice of Dog

That moniker is actually something that Bruce Dickinson, lead singer of THE GREATEST F***ING BAND OF ALL TIME, aka IRON MAIDEN, once put in the liner notes of his supremely awesome solo album, The Chemical Wedding, to describe his old friend, Arthur Brown. That was...
