The Worthy House (Charles Haywood)

Before I began working my way individually through all of Carl Schmitt's important works, I read this excellent book, which provides a fine overview of Schmitt's thought and relevance. And that relevance to today is growing by the hour. (This article was first published November 12, 2018.)

An exposition and explanation of why God sometimes commands violence, and of why the Old and New Testaments are not in tension or contradiction.  With my own thoughts on justice, in particular the appalling concept of "social justice."

In these strange days of violent medical apartheid and state-organized hatred directed at those who will not comply with criminally insane dictates, Christopher Browning's classic work on how ordinary men end up participating in mass killing has taken on fresh relevance. Forewarned is forearmed; make ready. (This article was first published November 2, 2018.) The written, original version of this...

Tucker Carlson's indictment of our ruling classes in 2018. Things have gotten much worse since, and all the palatable solutions have long fled the building.

An interesting, if flawed, analysis of rich people, which I found particularly interesting because I am rich myself, and much richer than I was when I wrote this!

A forgotten, but once-famous, author's autobiographical writings about turn-of-the-twentieth century Indiana and America. And of why nostalgia is pointless and destructive for today's Right.

Today’s announcement is my discussion with Professor Edward Dutton, aka The Jolly Heretic! Professor Dutton is an expert on evolutionary biology and related matters, which we mention in the context of civilizational collapse, but that is not our main focus here. Rather, we talk primarily about whether the future is the High Middle Ages with rockets, what our American present is like, the revival o...

Sean McMeekin's Stalin-centric history of World War II, in which Stalin is very bad, but the real villain is Franklin Roosevelt and the philo-Communists (and actual Communists) who surrounded him. With, as always, lessons for today. The written version of this review can be found here .

I am continuing my new practice of making “Announcements,” appearing on my main site, theworthyhouse.com, available across all platforms, through brief audio clips that are distributed in the same manner as long-form writings. Today’s announcement is the release of a discussion between Peter R. Quiñones, host of the Free Man Beyond the Wall podcast, and myself. We talk about the fracture of Americ...

This famous manifesto, by a man who total rejects technological-industrial society, is a challenge to techno-optimists such as I am—and thus a challenge to Foundationalism. I discuss that here, but regardless, it turns out that Kaczynski was very right about many things in our future. The written version of this review can be found here .

This is one of my favorite reviews, of a book that is extremely important today. Jünger foresaw both our present moment, and what should be done. You should read this book, and also its companion Eumeswil (and my interpretations of both). (This article was first published October 13, 2018.)

As I discuss in the audio, I am beginning to regularly announce on audio platforms opportunities to view appearances of me, that is to say, Worthy House content, that occurs on the platforms of others. For example, I may have appeared on another podcast, or written an article in a magazine—both of which have happened recently, in fact. So—are you looking for doomer optimism? Look no further. Now a...

No politics today. Rather, of psychedelic drugs, with particular emphasis on whether they reveal hidden knowledge and their relationship to religion.

A classic work on the underclass, which I use to define my program for distinguishing between the deserving and the undeserving poor, and treating each with justice. Plus, a variety of thoughts on modern Great Britain, none complimentary. (This article was first published September 29, 2018.)

A much-discussed, yet somewhat overrated, book from a quarter century ago. Nothing in our society has gotten better since then, but as it is said, past performance is no guarantee of future results.
