Climates of Cluelessness
Political hate creates its own “climate” or “environment” according to those protesting (and reporting on) the seemingly endless acts of racist terror, many of them not proven hoaxes, occurring on college campuses. There’s irony in how the actual physical environment of the American university, itself a product of that demonic white supremacy (Steve Sailer hasContinue reading “Climates of Cluelessness”
Conformity is Good, Apathy is Great
The New Yorker has published an interesting and dangerously close to fair profile of Mike Enoch of The Right Stuff broadcast.Enoch: “If you’re a liberal, you’ve never thought twice, you’ve never reconsidered, you’ve absorbed what you were taught in the government schools and by the TV.” A liberal now is simply someone who has stopped thinkingContinue reading “Conformity is Good, Apathy is Great”
Knowing What the In-Crowd Knows
Via Luke Ford, a young man’s experience with powerful gay men: The complete contempt gay men had for other gay men in that era was stunning. If you were a self-identified homosexual in the industry, the assumption was you had no qualms about being used and sleeping your way to the top. You wouldn’t getContinue reading “Knowing What the In-Crowd Knows”
Convention is a Cult
Evangelical Christianity surged in the wake of the Sixties, providing a home for that decade’s first casualties, and others. By 1976 it was mainstream enough that liberal Jimmy Carter could claim it without harm (there was a bit of snickering, I recall, as well as at the new term “Born Again Christianity”). At the timeContinue reading “Convention is a Cult”

Prominent guests next week. 0:15 Sukkot. 2:15 The subject today, Andrew Joyce’s essay, The Alt Right and the Homosexual Question. 3:05 Luke opens talking about Dennis Prager’s essay from 1989, Judaism, Homosexuality and Civilization: When Judaism demanded that all sexual activity be channeled intoContinue reading “Two Goys and a Jew”
Speaking dead of the ill
Hugh Hefner went with neither a bang nor a whimper, but an exhausted meh. I confess I haven’t the heart to read any of the boilerplate fill-in-the-name send-offs that collect like plates of food brought to the mourning family–which is supposed to be us–when one of these “icons” passes. A boomer’s fate is to age outContinue reading “Speaking dead of the ill”
Torah Today: Sexual Utopia in Power
8:30 Jewish stories from Luke 11:50 Casey: What is the nature of religious authority? 13:40 Where have the miracles gone?Here Casey has come upon a problem outlined in Dostoyevsky’s The Grand Inquisitor (an anti-Pope short story within The Brothers Karamazov; I parodied it here). A powerful Bishop rejects a returned Christ, because He’s been silent tooContinue reading “Torah Today: Sexual Utopia in Power”
Science and Religion
It strikes me Western society in the post-Enlightenment was far less devout in enforcing the belief inChristianity than it is now in enforcing the belief in racial and sexual equality. But it’s really in the nature of our new quasi-religion. You didn’t have to accost your fellows at work, school, or on the street toContinue reading “Science and Religion”
The Wrath of Kwon
This is a remarkable video. Gastonbury of the Faith & Heritage website transcribed the thing entire and compiled the highlights [Presbyterian minister Duke] Kwon isn’t some nobody – he’s a highly respected minister. Duke Kwon preached at the worship service at the PCA’s most recent General Assembly, meaning that he represents mainstream thought in the ReformedContinue reading “The Wrath of Kwon”
