“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.”

The Didact’s Best Albums of 2016

Now that we’ve gotten the best books of 2016 (in my ever-so-humble opinion) out of the way, it’s time to tackle the best albums that I’ve listened to all year. Now, the thing is, I actually listen to quite a lot more than just heavy metal- but for...

The Didact’s Best Books of 2016

As the last hours of 2016 wind down, it is time to go through a time-honoured tradition, stretching back to, uh, last year, before, um, whoever’s bothered to read this, in which I go over the best books that I read during the year. As with last year I’ve...

Book Review: Curse of the High IQ by Aaron Clarey

The Didact’s Best Books of 2015

With the New Year just around the corner, I thought it worth putting together a list of the best books that I’ve read this year. Readers- all 2.3 of you- can take or leave my opinion, of course, but the selections below have certainly entertained as well as...

Album Review: The Book of Souls by IRON MAIDEN

When some bands come out with new albums, you’ll listen to them a few dozen times, you’ll find them irresistibly catchy, and then you’ll put them away, out of sight and out of mind, for months or even years. That’s simply the nature of the...

Unlearning the Dark Ages

The best thing about reading iconoclastic, revisionist historians is that, in the process of reading and understanding their works and their ideas, you learn just how badly your schooling has let you down. Such was certainly the case when I read the truth about the...
