When we talk about intelligence, it is primarily the ability and inheritance of the individual, race, species that is able to deny short term sensuality and aim toward achieving a goal, to sacrifice pleasure in the present to achieve a greater reward in the future. The way nature configures this is through the promise of a reward, either [...]

Iron Will, Faith & Discipline
Long neglected, the west continues its miserable decline into absolute failure. Will we ever rise to rule ourselves again? What is our ability to organize ourselves and form a collective force, a social force, an Iron Will able to conquest back our nations from the disorientated weakness of convenience? What is needed is organization, strict [...]
In veneration of the artisans
Artisans are the creators of civilization, they are the driving force for the sustaining of culture and shaping the civil environment and community from a reflective expression of artistry. Artisans are not elites in whole but are elites in particular specializations. If there is any job you need, the artisans are those who know what [...]
The Adversary
With the latest Westboro Baptist protest and the existence of an antipodal Landover Baptist (i.e. “Christians in mass graves”) troll group, another level of detail draws into focus. While each are about as socially offensive as the other, they are both only adversarial insider, not paradigm shifting elements within a discordant equality composite system: This [...]
All the broken people
Voyeurism is prevalent in our society – in fact, it’s accepted. Where Dear Abby used to be the indulgence of bored housewives, things like Love Letters and similar blogs give people a view into the lives of their neighbors. It’s interesting reading into the relationship issues some people have – many are valid problems that [...]
Ragnarok
Apocalyptic prophecies, as well as religion in general, easily garner an eye-roll from most everyone. What we see on the surface is an extravagant threat made to cow non-believers into fear of eternal damnation, or slaughter at the hands of forces above themselves; a desperate attempt to accrue validity to an ideology. Growing up, it [...]
The Neo-Neighborhood (Minus Culture)
Boston, and New England in general, has a lot to be proud of as it relates to early American history. Massachusetts housed one of the first settlements of what would become colonial America in Plymouth Plantation, and some of this country’s early, civil libertarian leaders and even Presidents came from Massachusetts. This nation was chock [...]
The war against all but the material
How might most of us experience the effects of the mind on the body? In an average week you probably experience numerous examples of how what’s going on around you affects your subjective health. Most people instinctively know that when bad things happen, they affect your body. You can’t sleep, you feel anxious, you’ve got [...]
Whole behaviors strengthen families
I talk a lot here about the organic society and the idea of whole logic. Modern logic, or rationalism, takes a single factor of many and lets it stand for the whole situation. It’s derived from the populist religious/consumer tendency to assign good or a dollar value to any item in an absolute, universal context. [...]
Europe’s far-right rotation
I passed through Stoke-on-Trent, where the BNP has won 29 council seats out of sixty, and the Labour Party is down to sixteen. A senior member of the party in the Potteries told me the party mechanisms have “collapsed”; “If you want your drains fixed you go to the BNP,” they said. BBC As our [...]
