The Daily Eudemon

  The Imitation of Christ. What do I think of his classic? It’s a, you know, classic. I think it hits the psychology of devotion well . . . at least as far as 15th century standards go. It was, however, the product of 200 years of bad philosophy known as “nominalism.” I flush it out here.  Miami . I went to the Capital of Latin America for a bachelor party. I was blown away. The bulk of...

  The Old Testament . I summarize the OT in about eight minutes. The segment is closer to 11, but I throw in a couple of decidedly un-OT anecdotes.  Words . A short look at a few unusual words.  Lightning Segments . The ideal gin and tonic, The Adventures of Beer Man, Ira Gershwin, More.  Radical Derrida? I know Derrida was radical, but I’m not sure three of his main conclusion...

  Sex in the Stall . A couple allegedly has sex in the bathroom stall at a NFL games. That’s unbelievably gross. Deconstructionism is partly to blame. The fact that these people are absolute pigs doesn’t help, but deconstructionism feeds them. I explain how.  Communist Gnosticism . Marx, Lenin, and hatred for religion = shuttering of Greek Orthodox Churches in the early USSR. Homosexuali...

  Introverts . An introvert is not a shy person. It’s someone who draws energy from quiet. He has a finite supply of energy for interaction . . . it drains him. A huge revelation for this podcaster. Hat tip to The Matt Walsh Show .  Deconstructionists . Derrida’s attack on binaries was an overreaction to Descartes’ erroneous dualism that denied the sacramental nature of reality. That, an...

  Touching During Mass . Enough already. Enough with shaking hands, too, at least during the cold and flu season. That custom has ran its course.  Today’s Pride and Prejudice Parlor Scenes . Family members lounging around the living room, each with individual screens in their hands. The end of the family? Or a return of the family to 1800 leisurely norms? Marshall McLuhan . This Catholic...

The Mind and Art of Albert Jay Nock. Great book/introduction into the life and thought of the godfather of American libertarianism. The fact that Crunden wrote this as an undergrad? Blows me away.  Deconstructionism and the Family. Why are leftists pro-environment and pro-gay marriage? There’s a connection, though it’s murky and a bit confusing. I try to flush it out here. Lightning Segments....

  Haters at Mass . Pope Francis’ suggestion that hateful Catholics stay away from Mass makes sense, but there are three potential problems with it: When is a person good enough to go to Mass? Hasn’t he been a bit, ahem, spiteful in his attacks on his political foes? Maybe Mass is keeping the hateful from becoming the murderous.  Structuralism . The foundations of post-modernism. My first...

  Next Week : I plan on producing a podcast next week, over the holidays, but it’ll probably be unusual fare.  Sol Invictus . No, Christmas predates Sol Invictus, but the question of pagan practices’ influence on Christian practices is interesting. I don’t look at the history much, but rather, focus on the premonition of truth that I think was at work.  The Jesus Prayer. “Lord Jesus...

Taoism: The laid back outlook of Lao-Tse and Chuang-Tzu. Lisieux-like. A very short introduction. Bogus Historical Atlas: A run-down of a bogus map of Europe circa 486. I wish I could find my copy of that book. It might have been a Rand McNally historical atlas. No matter. None of those “kingdoms” considered themselves kingdoms in 486. Burgundy, Franks, Visigoths: They were all controlled by barba...
