The gnomic will is when you feel compelled to deliberate between multiple choices before deciding what to do. This is opposed to the True Will which arises spontaneously and intuitively from one’s real inner being. This post started out as a prequel to the upcoming translation of Evola on Christian … Continue reading

Benevolent Centralized Power
I like to scan through the cable morning news shows now and then, not for the news, but to get the pulse of what we are supposed to be thinking. The shows are allegedly about the issues, but as we now know, it is never the issues, but rather affinity: … Continue reading
Unseen warfare: The power of the image
Although last time I said I was going to write on a completely different topic, I find that what I am about to say here deserves priority, since it also expands on a point which I only briefly touched in the last article and which is of maximal importance in … Continue reading
April Showers 2013
April showers have chased me indoors. Last night I made enough money playing Texas Hold’em to cover the purchase of the UR/KRUR books and Della Riveria’s Magic World of the Heros, so you guys are off the hook. But thanks for the offers. Don’t knock playing cards which are clearly … Continue reading
Personal Revelations

These people are consumers of food; they expect the basics and are easily satisfied. Most restaurants depend on them for survival. Connoisseurs, … Continue reading
Dining with Dung Beetles
The diversity of opinions on fundamental issues has always perplexed and intrigued me. In Euclidean geometry, no one would dispute the Pythagorean theorem, at least once he understood it. No scientist would deny that water, steam and ice are the same chemical compound, provided he understands chemistry. But when it … Continue reading
Return to Normalcy
Over the weekend, someone uploaded child pornography to the Gornahoor forum. Bluehost disabled the entire site, without warning or explanation, until the situation could be evaluated by their legal department. The deleted the images and reactivated Gornahoor. When informed, I disabled attachments to forum posts. I also restricted posting, even … Continue reading
