RAW EGG NATIONALIST @Babygravy9

We can talk about Sam Francis and anarchy-tyranny, but the truth is, the entire playbook was described by Aristotle in Book V of the Politics, when he talks about the arts of the tyrant. The tyrant creates a war within civil society to distract ordinary citizens from the real…

As another man who once worked with me declares himself saddened by my beliefs on gender and sex, I thought it might be useful to compile a list for handy reference. Which of the following do you imagine makes actors and directors who aren’t involved with the HBO reboot of Harry…

This is the most iconic image in the history of college marketing. Colleges have come up with everything under the sun to attract students, but St. John’s in Annapolis just took a picture of their reading list and countless students have made their college decision because of it.…

Just finished this article. Well worth a read. Has anyone written on the Machiavellianism in the Federalist? There are some obvious and not so obvious connections. Pity if it hasn’t been covered in depth.

Poetry used to be central to education, and people loved it because it was taught terribly. Kids memorized poems and chanted verses out loud. The words were alive: something to be experienced, performed, felt in the marrow of your bones. Then came the 1920s, when a group of…

Eric Weinstein delivered a sobering message about the unseen war shaping modern society. He argues that what many perceive as the "culture wars"—a draining online conflict—is a misnomer. Instead, Weinstein asserts, society has been embroiled in a hybrid war, a concept introduced…

My highlights “Individuals show the way, set the patterns. The rivalry of patterns is the history of the world” (William James: xiv). “The label Humanism is odd—the ism of being human—but it is not arbitrary: it originally described the style of the ancients: litterae…

There are many differences between us, George, but some are particularly relevant to this debate. 1. You're a man and I'm a woman. 2. You've been wealthy and famous since your early 20s. I didn't become well known until I was well over 30. 3. I've never been given 15 months…

@ShipleyWrites @CptHastings1916 I think Bloom's view may be reinforced by the way 'The Great Gatsby' portrays a spiritually barren, morally decaying modern, industrial, Post-War world. The valley of ashes evokes the collapse of meaning and the erosion of purpose. Fitzgerald shows that the moral rot pervades…

@Noahpinion @alexpriou The built car won’t tell you anything about the ends to which it’s put in service. The crucial image of science as a blind giant is entirely wasted on you. You’re the tiny man sitting atop the shoulders of a great giant thinking your view from there comes from your own heights.
