Error and Success
The error of leftist politics: there is no focus on the tools that help us to solve problems.
Instead, societies get boiled down to their mistakes. For example, the slave trade, imperialism, colonialism, etc. - all destructive, to be sure - are emphasized by leftists in favor of studying the successes of a society. How is this a mistake? Shouldn' ( Read more... ) -
The Drunkard
How many days I’ve wasted
Drinking at the Bear and Key!
But you can’t rightly blame me
For I’ve nowhere else to be
How many misspent evenings in a
Loud and boozy chat?
But I’ve nowhere to go and so
You must forgive me that
How many friends my loosened tongue
Has chased away from me
But truth must be embraced, my friend
Though bitter it may be!
In truth, you ( Read more... ) -

Notes on Shape-shifting
I decided to do a sort of “Werewolf for Dummies” video that could explain the basics of werewolf lore. I’ve arranged this video for easy consumption, and have tried to make it easy to understand.
Part 1: Werewolves and Astral Bodies
The classic werewolf story always features some poor soul that’s been cursed to physically transform into a half- ( Read more... ) -
I Will Dream
I dream.
When the sun sets over the pines, and the path from my door to the forest darkens, the visions come. Sometimes right away, and sometimes not till the very early morning hours, but they come. And I seem to fall asleep.
I dream that I walk quietly down the darkened path to the forest line. It seems to pull me into the shadows and I begin ( Read more... ) -

Case in point: The Marechal de Retz.
A French nobleman named Gilles de Laval had an impressive military career, and he was duly rewarded for it. He was appointed the Marechal of France, and his shrewdness and intelligence were well-noted, so that soon he was named a counselor to the King himself.
Things were indeed looking up for the ( Read more... ) -
Notes on the Medicine Men
Bored with life and not looking forward to his vacation ending, an Englishman volunteers to take a Navajo man to the reservation. He doesn’t realize it’s several hours and over 300 miles away, and by nightfall he has no option but to spend the night when they arrive.
The Navajo man is set on becoming a Medicine Man, and that night a medicine man ( Read more... ) -
System Update
It's a unique experience to hit upon an insight. So much of our lives is spent immersed in routine. Even those of us who are not plagued by an ever-growing to-do list find ourselves surrounded by the same people, going to the same places, and performing the same tasks we've carried out countless times - from scrolling through Instagram to picking ( Read more... ) -
Hit the Ground Running (As Gods)
I once heard a physicist say that he found it "eerie" that mathematicians seem to have an ability to arrive at solutions before most people even conceive of the problem. The mathematician is in some sense an artist, and the mathematical imagination foresees landscapes we will soon have to traverse. This is why physicists, in search of tools to ( Read more... ) -
Special Talent: A Strange Tale
A non-English speaking Anon told a strange story. It was rather difficult to understand however, but very interesting. So I fixed the grammatical errors and other issues. This is the edited version.
I don't know if this is the right board for this, but I want to tell a story first and then ask a question. I would be interested in your answers. I ( Read more... )
