“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.”

Game Lesson: Lead or Follow, There Is No Middle Ground

Leadership skills are generally not associated with deep introverts, and rightly so. However, the special subset of introverts known as INTJs, or Sigmas, or whatever you want to call them, have the ability to become very good leaders- the odd thing is, though, that...

Book Review: Men on Strike by Dr. Helen Smith

Vox’s review of Dr. Helen’s new, rather short, book was enough to get me interested in reading the same; after all, anyone worthy of Vox’s respect is generally someone worth reading. So I downloaded it and got to reading it, and immediately thought...

Two Years of Powerlifting

I had intended to spend some time writing this weekend and putting thoughts to paper (so to speak), but as usual, I got lazy and decided to enjoy the summer sunshine and sleeping on my couch instead. I’m rather hoping to change that trend this week, now that...

Misdiagnosing the Problem

In which a woman who plainly thinks far too highly of herself completely misses the point: Men of my father’s generation would never have dreamed of telling their wives they could not have another child because they wanted more time to themselves. They just got...

Single Blokes Are Better Off Staying Single

Vox Day’s recent review of Dr. Helen Smith’s new book, Men on Strike, was the only push I needed to start reading the book myself. I’m barely through the first chapter right now, but all I can say is that if you thought marriage was probably not a...

Ladies, Here Are Your Choices…

I included this one in my weekend linkage post this week, but it’s worth expanding upon somewhat. This all started when an anonymous young female engineer named “AA” wrote to Vox and challenged him to explain certain views of his that she was very...

The Three Most Dangerous Words You Will Ever Hear

“Just Be Yourself” If you are a young man in Western society- hell, any modern post-industrial society- those three words are probably going to do more to damage your prospects for future happiness, financial security, and sexual success than any...

Be a Man: Juicing

Depending on your background, mention of the word “juicing” and its results might well bring to mind images of gargantuan, bloated, hideously misshapen experiments in muscle-building gone horribly wrong. Like, say, this: Sorry. Couldn’t resist....

Domain Query: Introverts and Self-Improvement

Though my posts might be few and far between, I do in fact read the comments that people (and I mean people, not spambots) post. It just takes me a while to respond to them, for which I can only apologise. Nonetheless, a recent comment from pumpsix was, I...

Be a Man: Martial Arts

In between dealing with pissy women at work, things going somewhat pear-shaped at home, and the bonkers weather we’ve been having up in the Northeast recently, it’s not been easy to find time to write on the subject of manliness, but that has finally...
