Didactic Mind

Today I wax philosophical again about the nature of our tests and the reasons why we are tested to, and often beyond, our breaking points. I go through Biblical prophets from the Old Testament and examine how they were tested and broken, in order to do what God needed them to do. (I didn't have time to get to the Big Cheese Himself - probably should have arranged things a bit better there.) I weav...

This week's episode is all about game theory and its profound and powerful application to politics. I use the lens of game-theoretic understanding to provide insights into why the Right keeps losing against the Left. As I point out in the podcast, the reason is basically because we of the Right refuse to act in accordance with optimal and sensible strategies for beating the Left and maximising our...

In this week's episode, I talk about the strange and terrible power of real, material, physical evil, and its lasting effect on all of us. I explain why it has such power and how its power persists for so long - and why and how it fails, each and every time. And I examine the ways in which we can all stand up against evil. This is probably one of my more unusual podcasts, in that I pull in referen...

A very happy and peaceful Easter to you all, my brothers and sisters in Christ. This week's podcast is all about tying the veracity and historicity of the New Testament together with the Old, to show us how we can be confident that Jesus Christ our Lord was indeed who He said He was. I look at the historical narratives given in the Book of Acts, the Gospel of Luke, the Gospel of John, and other pa...

This week's episode, on Palm Sunday, is all about pointing oneself toward the three things that ultimately lead to a happier, simpler, and fulfilled life. In other words, this is all about refusing to bend the knee before the lies of this world, and instead look at the truths that go far beyond it. In the process, I talk about some of the greatest lies that have afflicted us, such as the literally...

I received a very interesting question from reader Sean, which went as follows: I'm a new reader on your blog. I'm interested in your views on Christianity, religion, faith, and atheism as I'm currently mired in sorting those things out for myself. It seems from old posts (ca. 2013) you had at least rejected atheism, recognized a Higher Power, and held to a certain faith. In more recent posts, it...

This week's podcast is all about r/K selection theory and its ramifications for politics, social trust, and national development. I provide a brief overview of the theory, explain its application to politics through the lens of Anonymous Conservative's superb book , and provide an analysis of the current crises wracking the Western and Asian worlds through the heuristic application of the theory....

This week's episode is all about things that we wish were not true, but are. I examine the basic realities of irreducible differences between and among groups. I also talk about some of the historical inaccuracies that we have had to deal with for decades, such as who was really responsible for enslaving millions of people, and why the conquistadores really behaved so horribly in Mesoamerica. And...

I am finally back with another episode in the Domain Query series. This one addresses an interesting question from LRFotS Randale6, who asks: Could you do a podcast (or perhaps two, one for each form) on verbal and written rhetoric. While there are many books (often freely available as PDFs) I got the sneaky suspicion that it will take more then reading them to turn theory into (effective) practic...

This week's episode is all about the F-35 Joint Strike Flopter and the epic debacle that it represents. Well, that's only partly true - it is actually all about the legendary USAF Col. John Boyd, the man behind the Fighter Mafia and the force of nature who transformed the very Art of War in the modern age. In today's podcast, I talk about: The longevity of stupid and terrible ideas; The idiocies o...

In this week's episode, I explore the fallout from Gina Carano's cancellation by the Twatter mob and Disney, and offer up some thoughts about lessons that we can all learn from the process. I tell you how you can learn to stand firm in the face of madness, and how you can even profit off of the corporate greed and stupidity that drove the decision to fire Ms Carano in the first place. And I explai...

This week's episode concerns every man's LEAST favourite fake holiday - Valentine's Day. I go over some current events and news, then segue into the times that we live in and the ways in which men and women have failed to live up to our assigned roles in life. I talk about some causes and symptoms, and offer whatever concrete solutions that I can to the young men of today who are utterly confused...

This week's episode is all about robots! Specifically, it is about how artificial pleasure robots - or sex robots, if you prefer - will affect human demographics, culture, and development. The podcast was inspired by one of the latest books from the vividly imaginative writer, Gary L. M. Martin, whose work I have favourably reviewed in the past . I go over a number of different topics that are of...

In this week's episode, I discuss four ideas that will help us as men to find the will and the strength to move through life even as we face strife and challenges. Those four ideas are: The will to act - simply put, the willingness and the ability to take action even when we are afraid of the outcomes; Understanding the difference between risk and uncertainty - the two concepts are NOT the same an...

In this week's podcast, I talk about the current, parlous, state of affairs in American politics. The installation of the Fake President and the San FranciscHo has created a moral vacuum and a severely destabilising political crisis. This is the classic symptom of a late-stage empire accelerating toward its final and terrible collapse. I talk about the reasons why are observing the complete disint...

In this week's podcast, I discuss the financialisation of markets and the extremely detrimental effects that this has had upon the real, productive economy. I go over some of the academic reasons offered up for the "crowding out" of the productive sectors of the economy by the financial sector, and the dangers that this poses based on historical evidence. Then I discuss the reason why we see this...

We're back with another Domain Query podcast. Longtime reader and FotS JohnC911 emailed me earlier to ask the following: I finished reading the book you recommended, Lost to the West by Lars Brownworth. Amazing reading more on the Byzantine Empire, especially the different leaders that ruled over Constantinople. The number of times that the empire should have fallen and yet continue survive and so...

This week's episode covers a wide-ranging number of topics about science and the misguided faith that we put into scientists themselves. I start off by talking briefly about the Storming of the Hill, move on to Big Tech censorship and the ways in which you can avoid its impacts, and then get on to talking about what science really is. I discuss how the scientific method works, why it is limited in...

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life,[ a ] and the life was the light of men. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. -- John 1:1-5, English Standard Version Happy New Year to a...

May the peace and blessings of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you, brothers and sisters. Today's podcast is all about the miracle of the birth of Our Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth, and the meaning and power of that miracle in our miracle-denying modern age. I cover a whole range of topics in this podcast: The "Saturnalia" myth, which I addressed in much greater detail in a previous Domain Query pod...

This week's podcast is all about the feeling that many of us have that something really big is coming at us. The past year has been full of immensely difficult challenges, and most of us have felt drained and weakened by the trials that we have had to endure at some point or another. In this podcast, I review some of the many, MANY lies that we have been told over the past year, and I offer up som...

This week's episode is once again about Islam and Christianity, and the vast contrast between the two on the subject of Scriptural inerrancy. Muslims have long claimed that the New Testament is corrupted and that our Christian revelations are therefore unreliable. This is nonsense and I show exactly why. I then move on to examine the claims that Muslims make about the inerrancy and reliability of...

In this latest edition of the Domain Query series, I answer an interesting set of points posed by reader Johnny in a comment on an unrelated post: Didact, See here : https://www.unz.com/article/hate-filled-hindu-priti-patel-is-sycophantic-to-jews-psychopathic-to-whites/ While I have come to conclude that Indian immigration to the US is a net negative (I used to think all skilled immigration that e...

This week's episode is all about ranting against the never-to-be-sufficiently-cursed whorenalists and presstitutes of the mainstream (((media))). I talk about many topics, including: Shout-outs to my friends Adam Piggott and Last Redoubt for their excellent contributions to this side of the 'Sphere of late; Thanks to Men of the West for taking up my articles and featuring them; References to easil...

This week's podcast episode touches on many subjects, ranging from Robert A. Heinlein's controversial classic military sci-fi novel, STARSHIP TROOPERS, to the Beer Bug, to the nature of rights and responsibilities. I discuss a lot of different points here: Why  STARSHIP TROOPERS is such a brilliant book, and why everyone should read it; The 12 "Juvenile" novels that Heinlein wrote: Rocket Ship Gal...
