The Unsettling Nature of Normies' Self-Deceiving Psychology
In Plato’s famous ‘cave allegory’, prisoners are raised to believe that the shadows projected onto a wall before them represent the real world. Of course, our world’s shadows are the images presented to us by the mainstream media, by our TV-sets, by cinema screens, and by corporate presentations.
The sum of these human-crafted images amounts to a deception and a falsification of reality, no different from what prisoners in Plato’s cave might experience.
Some of us have always been deeply critical...

Far-Right Space Exploration
The end of the colonial age hit European elites with a cold truth: There were no more untold riches to be found in strange lands. We had hit the end of a road. Having climbed every mountain and traversed every sea, White explorers soon fled into new avenues, the deep sea, ocean floors, spelunking, and outer space .
Only technology was the limit. To kick off the new age of space exploration, the United States, flexing its muscle as the now most-powerful nation, decided to aim for the Moon. And heck...

DOGE, The Reaction, and More [stream #60]
In this stream, I discussed the upsides of the Trump Presidency, such as his conservative policies. And I introduced the idea for a European counter-movement dubbed The Reaction.

It's Time for the Reactionary Movement
Last week, Australian nationalists Blair Cottrell and Thomas Sewell got canceled from social media after their shock podcast episode with mainstream sport star Sam Newman. And we know why: The young men’s pro-White Australia arguments easily outclassed those of the elder boomer-interest host.
You can watch their revealing interview here. Sewell, in particular, presented a solid and unapologetic case for all pro-White movements. And I want to announce that Europeans, too, will find today’s time fe...

The Forest as a Source of Eternal Renewal [stream #59]
In this livestream episode, I spoke at length about different topics intertwining with the idea of the Forest. The forest, in this sense, is a fertile soil and a source of eternal renewal. It is the opposite of the Sea, where we cannot grow anything. The Sea is like a desert, and it is the domain of highly technologized civilizations seeking to maximize profits.
A New White Elite
Ernst Jünger was a German World War 1 hero, known for his book Storm of Steel , a war diary which, unlike Remarque’s All’s Quiet on the Western Front , doesn’t cry like a toddler for his mommy to come and save him. Jünger didn’t shun war. He felt war’s confrontation with death made men live up to their true selves.
The technological age, however, changed warfare, and heroism, for the worse. Machines, not men, were now in charge of destiny. Machines reduced men to mere levers and gears in a gigantic...

Embracing Our Humanity Again: Welcoming the Post-Technological Era [stream #58]
In this productive TikTok podcast, I mused about the impact of technology on humanity. At first, new inventions offered ordinary individuals great leaps forward. Progress felt real because it was real.
But the Wall Street era of “Big Tech” has twisted technology around. No longer a beneficial development, modern technology has become a gigantic scam meant to rob the Western middle classes of their real wealth.
One might even say there isn’t such a thing as “progress” at ...

American Hubris: The AI Bubble that Popped
At President Donald Trump’s inauguration, the tech bros of Amazon, X, Facebook, TikTok, and OpenAI all joined in a $500 billion rallying cry to build god-tier artificial intelligence (called “AGI”, or artificial general intelligence). But a Chinese app running from someone’s backyard, using dated hardware, just popped the American dream of AI supremacy.
Called DeepSeek, the Chinese ChatGPT-killer made Silicon Valley look especially unintelligent. Americans were betting on “bigger is better”, wher...
The Direction of My Newsletter
Hi everybody! Thanks for being a subscriber.
I started this newsletter in late 2022 as a side project, and I have seen steady growth in subscribers and content views since then.
Over 500 people are now subscribed, including even several paid subscribers. And I’m very grateful for all of you being on board.
At first, I was just posting my written thoughts in the form of articles and essays. Later, I started posting my podcasts and livestream copies on here as well.
But now, I’m wondering about how ...
