    Wallflower Psychology

    1,105 words

    This is an attempt to understand the psychology of male wallflowers.

    A “wallflower” refers to a girl who waits . . . and waits . . . and waits off to the side for a fellow to ask her out on the dancefloor. Some girls are wallflowers because they are unattractive. But others are just a bit too modest, shy, and diffident. (more…)

    My Five Favorite Books of 2019

    1,297 words

    1. Steele Brand, Killing for the Republic: Citizen-Soldiers and the Roman Way of War (Baltimore: Johns Hopkins University Press, 2019) 

    This is an excellent work of military history that examines the tradition of civic militarism in the Roman Republic. Brand combines detailed analyses of battles with insights about Roman culture and society. His analysis of the Battle of Sentinum (295 BC), for instance, includes diagrams of battle formations as well as a discussion of the history of the devotio, (more…)

    Christmas at Counter-Currents
    Living in Truth: A Yuletide Homily

    471px-Champaigne_Philippe_de_-_Saint_Augustin_-_1645-1650

    Philippe de Champaigne, “Saint Augustin,” 1645-1650

    2,587 words

    The key problem of our age is disconnection from truth. This takes several distinct forms. The first, and most obvious, is the prevalence of lies. As everyone knows, modern, western civilization is founded upon lies about human nature, culture, and history. The most significant of these – underlying, in one form of another, most of the rest – is the equality lie; the myth of human equality, which is the chief myth of our age. (“Myth,” as most of my readers know, can have a positive or a negative connotation, as there are salutary myths; here, obviously, I am using the term in its purely negative sense.)  (more…)

    The American Kshatriya

    Horatio Greenough, George Washington, 1840

    3,341 words

    Valor, fearlessness, fortitude, resourcefulness, and also, not fleeing in war, charity, and the ability to rule, are the natural duties of a Kshatriya. — Bhagavad Gita 18:23

    According to a widely-accepted hypothesis of Georges Dumézil, prehistoric Indo-European society was divided into three basic functions: a sacral, a martial, and an economic class. This tripartite ideology survived the Indo-European migrations throughout Europe and Asia and has persisted, with various modifications, into modernity. (more…)

    The following text is based on a transcript by Rollo Walker of a 1999 lecture on “Objectivity, Relativism, and Well-Being.” This text only includes the first half of the transcript, and it has been massively condensed and rewritten.

    There Has Never Been a Better Time to Be Alive
    The Ultimate White Pill

    My friends on the Right bemoan the fact that we’re not living in Leave It To Beaver. They play the “what era would you like to live in?” game, picking any time other than this one. Because this is the End Time, you see; the Kali Yuga, the Wolf Age. Hell, yes! It is all those things and more. But I, for one, feel privileged to live in Dystopia.

    I took an interest in architecture a few years back, after reading Crawford’s The World Beyond Your Head. The book described the effects of the arrangement of space on how we perceived and acted in the world. The effects of arranged space could be negative—the distraction of eye-catching advertisements and flashing lights—or positive—the machine-like feeling of cooking in a well-stocked and well-organized kitchen.

    Blaming Your Parents

    Young Sailor Ripley lacked “parental guidance.”

    1,444 words

    In the past, people used to blame the gods or the fates for their misfortunes. These days, they like to blame their parents.

    • “My parents were sedentary and fat, and their bad example is why I grew up sedentary and fat.”
    • “My father was always uptight. And now I’m uptight and can’t enjoy life.”

    Thomas Jefferson & the Declaration of Independence

    2,258 words

    Thomas Jefferson

    The first sentence of Preamble to the Declaration of Independence reads: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.” The Declaration of Independence is not a legal document or even a formal declaration of independence. By the time of its adoption, twelve of the thirteen colonies had already declared independence with the passage of the Lee Resolution.  (more…)

    The Ancients on Speaking Rightly

    1,605 words

    We are all faced with the challenge of speaking, and living, truths which are felt to be offensive by a great many of our countrymen, not to mention the powers that be. This is not a new problem. By definition, the natural diversity of men means that knowledge of the truth is highly unequally distributed and those who know most about the truth are necessarily a tiny minority. This minority must alone face the prejudices and ignorance of the masses and the violence of the state. (more…)

You cannot go anywhere without seeing images of your lands, your women, your history, your culture being defiled by hostile foreign races (more…)

    Neville & the Rebel:
    Reflections on Colin Wilson & Neville Goddard

    Neville Goddard

    4,337 words

    Part 2 of 2; part 1 here

    Earlier, I noted Wilson’s second thoughts, 45 years later, about Religion and the Rebel as an “overstuffed pillow”; he specifically felt that the early biographical material on Rilke was “unnecessary.” But actually, it supplies us with a remarkable parallel to Neville’s method, as well as a hint of Wilson’s future development.

    Wilson says if Rilke had died at age twenty-five, no one would have remembered him. Instead, he willed himself to be a poet. (more…)

    Forced to be Free:
    The Case for Paternalism

    Rousseau

    Jean-Jacques Rousseau

    626 words

    Spanish translation here

    Paternalism means treating people like children. Children lack the maturity and wisdom to make their own decisions. Thus they need parents — or people playing the paternal role — to tell them what to do and, on occasion, to force them to do it.

    Most people have no problem with paternalism when dealing with actual children, as well as the retarded, the senile, and the insane. (more…)
