I’ve been involved in theater off and on for over forty years, acting, writing, and not succeeding at it in any worldly terms. I’m an okay character actor, I’ve written good plays that are considered well-written, literate, humorous, and that no one wants to put on.  (more…)

It’s well known to us that distorted historical narratives are a common manipulation tactic. For the masses, though, many still remain spellbound by guilt trips. I’ll go into a deep dive on that at a later date, but for now, I’ll keep it simple. Be sure to share this one with your civnat friends, and any educable liberals in your life. Getting rid of a heap of undeserved guilt should be a tremendous load off of their minds, and with no expensive therapy sessions needed! (more…)

At the time, many said that this alone would sink Trump’s chances of reelection. (more…)

Have you ever stumbled across one of those birdhouses for books in nice neighborhoods? Little Free Libraries are a way neighbors anonymously offer new reading material to each other while following one simple rule: “Take a book. Leave a book.”

The Little Free Library website itself features photos of blacks and Hispanics proudly standing by their libraries. The organization purports to achieve its mission of inspiring readers by “providing 24/7 book access,” thereby suggesting that black, BIPOC, and LGBTQ+ individuals might not read as much as heterosexual whites, since libraries are not open at night.

There is so much to unpack regarding the topic of the 1881-1882 pogroms that I felt my personal reactions and insights deserved their own essay. This isn’t part of my recent review of John Klier’s Russians, Jews, and the Pogroms of 1881-1882. Rather, it’s a reflection on the review and a discussion of how the pogroms of that period have become a cautionary tale for our times. (more…)

Raw, analog interfaces and whirring computers, primitive digital readouts, clicking binary code, churning cogitators, and flashing buttons. Eerie red light transfusing a zero-gravity space, the silent cockpit of a spaceship, and the white lights of the Mother artificial intelligence mainframe room. The tortured, dying machines of the analog age. (more…)

Heidegger on a country path, 1966.

Part 13 of 15 (Read all parts here)

The Will is Evil

The foregoing may lead the reader to ask whether Heidegger’s negative will, which gives rise to the metaphysics of presence, is evil. It is difficult to escape this conclusion, especially given that, historically, it issues in the present “dispensation of being,” which is das Gestell (“enframing”), modern technological civilization’s metaphysical conviction that all that exists, including humanity, is nothing more than raw material for exploitation.

The London Evening Standard is a venerable newspaper now distributed free in the city of my birth. It launched in 1829 and became free of charge in 2009. George Orwell wrote The Moon Under Water for the paper, in which he described his ideal pub, in 1946, the same year he wrote Politics and the English Language. Hopefully, he wrote it in a pub. The Standard has always been very much a part of London life and tradition. (more…)

The deep state effectively weakened Trump during his first term by surrounding him with swamp creatures who undermined his America First agenda. Trump is obviously wiser this time, as indicated by the ire his cabinet picks are drawing. (more…)
