Didactic Mind: Recent Episodes
Didact
Home to the weekly Didactic Mind podcast, along with answers to user-driven queries in the Domain Query series. Tune in every week for your dose of Christian faith, philosophy, history, politics, and current events.
The Didactic Mind podcast is BACK with an all-new episode - the first in nearly 6 months - to kick off 2026. This podcast is all about how we avoid the stupidity and nonsense of "New Year's Resolutions", and instead focus on building life-affirming, results-building, course-sustaining habits that get us to our chosen destinations. I lay out a straightforward, logical, sensible set of ideas that will help you achieve your goals for the year - whatever those might be - and provide examples showing how you make these goals a reality.

Protect Yourself From Big TechI make some pretty incendiary statements in this podcast, and in most of my podcasts. I can only do so because I take steps to protect myself from the Big Tech companies, and preserve my identity. You need to do the same – this is no longer optional, because if you don’t, the gatekeepers WILL come for your head.
If you don’t know where to start, then I’ve got you covered right here with this post. Here are the specific steps that you can take:
- Make sure that your web traffic is safe and protected from prying eyes using a VPN – click here to get a massive 80% OFF on a 24-month subscription with Surfshark;
- Be sure also to check out Incogni, the new data and privacy management tool offered by Surfshark, which simply works behind the scenes to ensure that no malign actors can take advantage of your data ever again;
- Another solid VPN option for you is Atlas VPN, brought to you by the same company that creates NordVPN;
- The best SSD drive that you can get right now, with blazing fast speeds and near-native storage capabilities, is probably the SanDisk Extreme 1TB Portable SSD with NVMe technology – I bought this myself to keep a moving backup of all of my files, it’s the size of a credit card, and it’s absolutely superb;

As we all know by now, the US, under President Trump's leadership, attacked Iran's nuclear enrichment facilities. This is not merely a bad decision - it is among the craziest, most risky, and most stupid decisions ever taken by any world leader. In the latest episode of Didactic Mind, I explain why Trump has now ensured the total failure of his second term, by handing over control of his foreign policy decisions to the neoclowns, and to the Iranians. I give background and context around the wars in Ukraine and Iran, and point out that, even though Ornj Boi did not start these wars, he was given an explicit mandate by the American people to end them. He decided not to do so, and instead walked straight into not one, but TWO, very obvious and very clear traps, laid out for him by the neoclowns.
Because of this, and because of Trump's brinkmanship, the world is now far more dangerous, and the American Empire is one step closer to total collapse. I explain why this is the case toward the end of the podcast, and how that could happen. I also provide my own thoughts about why Drumpf appears to be so willing to bend to the will of the neoclowns - and those thoughts are dark and troubling indeed.
Whatever happens next, I think we have passed a threshold, and there is no going back. Trump is now officially a failed President, who has gutted whatever credibility the FUSA once had on the global stage. No one is ever going to take the US at its word again. Its economic collapse is now totally assured. And all that remains, is for Small-Hands Donny to serve out whatever is left of his term, before he is impeached, or unalived.
His legacy is, by his own hand, destroyed.

We are back, at long last, after a lengthy break, with a new Domain Query podcast. Once again, we are answering a question from LRFotS Randale6, who draws an intriguing parallel between the current, parlous, state of the FUSA, and the old Byzantine Empire. Our friend argues that, like the Byzantines, the descendants of the Americans may find themselves one day surrounded by foreigners, speaking the languages of those foreigners, treating the English language (and the inheritance given to them by their English and European ancestors) as barbarous relics:
As the west declines and dies I am struck by an eerie parallel between the USA and Byzantium. If I remember correctly it was the Byzantine Emperor Michael VIII Palaiologos who said words to the effect of "Latin is the language of barbarians".
America I think is heading for the same fate, like the Eastern Romans we are increasingly finding ourselves surrounded by another group (for them it was the native Greeks). This group being primarily Latin American, typical on the mestizo side of the racial scale. Eventually I suspect the outcome will be the same, as the Eastern Romans became the Byzantines (Latin overtaken by Greek) we will become the Neo-Byzantines.
We may "live on" as a polity, but we will not be the same. I am personally not sure what to make of this, it certainly seems preferable to collapse but... Will our descendants eventually mutter the words (in Spanish), "English is a foreigner's tongue"?
Will this transfigured nation continue descending into decadence or will it give rise to renewal (with a distinctly Latin tinge)? As the USA before this change was the second coming of Northern Europe will this future USA be the New Southern Europe? Will we inherit the same toxic politics and power struggles from the former USA (much as Byzantium inherited the Roman Empire's political intrigues)?
Your thoughts on this Didact?
I went through this at some length, first by looking at the history behind the (supposed) statement of Michael VIII Palaiologos. (I’m not saying he didn’t say it, I just cannot confirm it, as I am not historian enough to do so.) Then, I looked at the way the FUSA is likely to devolve and split apart, and I argued that Amerikhastan will break up into multiple nations – at least one of which will be a majority-White, majority-Christian, English-speaking country, in which aberrations and psychoses like Mohammedanism and the LGBTQWTFISTHISSHIT degeneracy, will be outlawed on pain of death.
This is not merely something spawned out of my fevered brain. My own reading into and around the coming breakup of the FUSA, have led me to think that the future of the FUSA will NOT be quite as dire as what our friend predicts. It will likely be much more like what we saw in South Africa under apartheid – which is NOT a justification of that system – or Rhodesia, in which White Christians find a way to build and maintain a beacon of civilisation, in the midst of savagery and darkness around them, by rediscovering their core and roots.
Note that I recorded this yesterday, before I saw how badly the riots in Clownipornia had spun out of control, and before I learned about the activation of the National Guard and the US Marines to go stomp on the rioters. Subsequent events lend, in my view, a certain authenticity and validity to the things I have described in this podcast.

LRFotS JohnC911 had an interesting open-ended question about Scripture, starting with Genesis 3, particularly focused on the nature and role of the serpent that tempted Eve:
Hey Didactic, I have a question for you?
Since you believe in Jesus Christ is the Son of God
What are your thoughts on Genesis 3?
Even if you don’t believe it, the enemies do believe this story though they think eating the fruit was the right thing. The fruit of Knowledge of Good and Evil they say free the Human mind. Though as Christian I could not disagree with them more. Such knowledge is not needed when you are present of God and given enteral life. Also it has corrupt us.
Interesting The very 1st question asked in the Bible, is asked by the serpent. Questioning and lying about God words
Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? – Genesis 3:1 KJV
The second part of what the Serpent said next is an another 2 lies.
Gensis 3:4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. KJV
It is a good set of questions that deserves some serious unpacking, particularly with respect to the implications of Genesis 3 for literally the entire history of Creation. So I tackle it as such, in a new episode of Domain Query, that tackles multiple subjects related to what the Scripture says - both at the surface level, and at a much deeper and more profound one.

Today's query comes from LRFotS Randale6, who has a rather interesting and very germane set of questions about the reasons why lower-ranked men in the SSH choose high-probability poor-quality outcomes, over lower-probability (thus riskier) but higher-quality potential outcomes. Here is the question set:
Two questions.
First is why do gammas/deltas pedestalize one woman to the exclusion of all others? As noted in this post on Vox's Sigma Game substack the erstwhile gamma had done quite well for himself. Yet he still fixated on one woman, ignoring what his position would have allowed him to achieve elsewhere (accounting businesses can be rendered remote in 3, 2, 1... presto) in the world.
Second and closely related to the first is... why don't we see more gammas and deltas just hightailing it into their own solo/small scale enterprises? If the hierarchy is just going to shit all over you why bother with it when you can go your own path as many accountants and mechanics do?
The answer has to do with the risk and reward appetites of the various ranks. It should come as absolutely no surprise that the further up the hierarchy you go, the higher your appetite for risk is. As such, lower-ranked males, like Deltas and especially Gammas, are unable to stomach risks, for psychological reasons, and routinely and observably fail to take calculated risks that would actually be highly beneficial for them.
I outline my reasoning and my answers in today's (perhaps mercifully shorter) podcast.

Despite being stricken with what feels like (but isn’t… probably) bird flu, I finally managed to get around to addressing a rather interesting query from LRFotS Randale6, who wrote in to ask about the monumental illiteracy and idiocy of Clown World:
Didact, looking into the history of commies and world war two I find this, the death of Patton is essentially a commie masterminded assassination (nearly killed by a cart two times before the third attempt finally does it, across two continents). At least from what I was reading on Unz Patton had planned to do a political tour of America to expose communism and push the population to both oust the commies at home (FDR and his cronies were effing commies, where is Pinochet when you need him) and finish off the Soviet Union while it still lacked nukes.
This brings up a question in my mind, are the clowns as historically and politically illiterate as we think they are or do they actually have a clue? On the face of it the hollowing out of the USA military doesn't make sense at all for a bunch of neocons hellbent on world domination. It does make sense though if those clowns don't think they can take over the world, rather they want to ensure that nothing domestically can pull a Caesar or Pinochet on their cockroach asses.
The short version is: yes, they are that stupid. In fact, they are far more stupid than you can imagine.
The longer version is, of course, in the podcast below. In it, I unpack this issue through an exploration of the ways in which Clown World denizens think. I have made a few simplifying assumptions, which are not actually particularly strong, starting with the notion that you can equate “clown world” with “neoclowns”, as they are basically one and the same (barring some minor factional differences).
From that point, I examine the reality that neoclowns are astonishingly poorly educated, given their backgrounds in non-mathematical subjects that provide them with no intellectual toolkit whatsoever to permit an understanding of the true factors of military, economic, and political power. Using the Ossipov-Lanchester Equations as a starting point, I explain how no neoclown can possibly comprehend the complexities involved even with a relatively simple set of ordinary differential equations.
I then use a recent article from arch-neoclown (and, evidently, Krispy Kreme enthusiast) Robert Kagan, one of the intellectual (snerk) leaders of the movement, to show just how fundamentally RETARDED these people are. This is the bit of the podcast where you can practically hear me doing my best to physically restrain myself, because his writing is a perfect example of the blithering idiocy and total incompetence of the neoclown paradigm.
I wrap up by explaining that the reason why Clown World (which is to say, neoclown world) is so historically inept and stupid, is because their founding premise is completely wrong. They see America as an idea, not a nation, and because of this, they have zero connection to the American nation, and therefore to the inherent limitations that confront any nation which sponsors an empire.

Jacques Baud - superb book, very highly recommended; * America's Final War by Andrei Martyanov - I got the name of the book wrong in the podcast, I mentioned Disintegration*, which was his PREVIOUS book, my bad; * The blindingly stupid article from Robert Kagan that got me all bothered in the podcast, to the point where I had to somehow restrain myself from yelling incoherently into the microphone;

The very first podcast of 2025 is up, in which I talk through some of the lessons learned in the preceding year, and some of the possible outcomes these lessons will dictate in the current one. I discuss how the fall of the Syrian Arab Republic has completely reshaped the Middle East's geopolitical landscape, and how the Banderastan War has fundamentally changed the dynamics in Europe. I talk about how we are, in many ways, returning to a non-Westphalian approach to relationships between states and governments, and how the conflicts of 2024 proved the total bankruptcy of the so-called "rules-based international order". I close with a call for a return to what truly works and makes sense, and end on a hopeful note with a prayer, as befits a podcast for the start of the year.
Admittedly, this was perhaps not one of my more on-point podcasts - I am battling some sort of viral infection, which seems to be similar to a milder version of the Coof, and it still has not worked its way out of my system. On top of that, I had to deal with a very nasty, though mercifully short-lived, bout of food poisoning while I was on holiday. So let us just say, it has not been the smoothest start to the year. Therefore, I ask for your patience if the podcast itself seems a bit meandering and off-topic at times.

The Didactic Mind podcast is finally BACK, after a hiatus of some 7 months, with a new episode discussing the motivations and rationale behind neoclown thinking. In this episode, I explain how the various chaotic events springing up all over the world - the collapse of the Assad government in Syria, the attempted coup in South Korea, the attempts to mount a Maidan Revolution in Georgia, the annulment of the first round of Presidential elections in Romania, and most of all, the war in Ukraine - all have a common thread running through them. I explain how neoclownery essentially comes from the true meaning behind a three-word phrase, and I point out how the current generation of neoclowns view Ukraine as central to their entire agenda for global American hegemony. I also unpack the reasons why that hegemony simply cannot hold, and why the other nations of the world have no interest in living under it.

It has been QUITE a while since we last did a proper podcast - first I was busy, then I was stupidly busy, then I was on vacation, and then I was (and still am) sick. But nothing gets older than an excuse, so let us crack on with a great set of questions from LRFotS JohnC911:
Hey Didactic, I hope you are doing well my friend.
I have a few questions
On the subject of China demographics. If a Chinese government ask you could put any suggestions on what solutions what might you list?
Also do you think Christianity if adopted by the Elites and laws enforce, could this help the demographics in the long run?
Also why is it that a lot of Chinese women want date or marry non Chinese men? Is demographic a part of the issue, ie too many Chinese men and not enough Chinese women? Could it be as I have hear many cases the mother pushing them to find mostly white men? Mind you it is mainly Chinese women in their late 20s and 30s I have meet, might have to do with not having luck in China they search else where?
I had this Chinese woman in her late 20s at Church, she treated me better than any other woman I have dated. She brought me gifts and write me thank you letters after I took her out on dates, She would say many nice things about me. She would dress very feminine and She loved the Lord and we would talk about the Bible. She has now gotten marriage to a Chinese Husband and I am very happy for her. The next best women was a Korean woman. Also Japanese have been very pleasant to be around and date. Mind you I live in Australia so it is mostly European or Asians here, unless you go to Sydney or Melbourne.
But anyway I don’t know why but I often have better conversations with Asian women, especially north east ones that dress very conservative. Funny things is that they don’t get angry when I talk to them about Jesus and God. So many White women get angry on the topic and especially emotional. Maybe it is the pill, Korean women (3%), Japanese (0.9%), Chinese (14%) vs Australian (40%) probably higher for whites since many non white do not take it, English (45%) and American women (64%). It could also be IQ, on average North East Asians are higher than whites (mind you the White Europeans in Europe it is about the same).
I am coming to Europe soon, I am dating a few women while I am over there. What are your thoughts on Swedish, Swiss, English, Polish and/or Bulgarian women (less than 3% on the Pill, and fewest Covid shots)? Do you think any other countries I should explore?
That is a good meaty set of questions to answer. Let us carry on, then:.

The Domain Query series is back, with a new episode inspired by a (lengthy) request from LRFotS Randale6, about how to achieve some degree of fiscal and geographical independence from the long, and increasingly corrupt and decrepit, arm of Uncle Shmuel:
By misfortune of my nationality (American) I am faced with a bit of an investment problem, the IRS has a complete and utter hatred of Americans investing in foreign stock markets (to the tune of taxing any capital gains from them at 40%, obliterating any gains from compound interest).
Once my English teaching stint is over and I transition over to international/bilingual schools I will be making enough money to begin serious investing, but the dollar is something I need to either escape or somehow make up for.
I see the following options but am open to more.
Moving to Russia: Owing to the west's sanctioning of Russia international schools in Russia seem to be having great difficulty with recruiting western teachers (from what I hear at any rate), this means that a less than ideal candidate (such as myself) will be considered, particularly by less than top notch schools.
I am lukewarm to Russia but...a pathway to citizenship that doesn't involve marriage is offered there (I will be blunt, no Natashas, they are not worth the headache), it won't give a flying fuck about the dollar collapsing and with Russian citizenship I can safely invest in their stock market (so long as i don't travel anywhere that has an extradition treaty with the USA).
Option 2 is betting against the USA...with dollars.
Simply put it would be putting money into such things as vanguard index funds that target overseas investments and betting that even if the dollar goes to hell that those investments will skyrocket enough to make up for the difference. I have no clue if this would work at all.
I am of course open to other options, but I am not sure if they even exist or what they are.
I answer this set of questions as follows:
- First, I note the availability of the Foreign Earned Income Exemption, which provides for at least a modicum of tax relief for American citizens living abroad;
- Then, I discuss what it is like to live in Russia, and in other locations outside the West - it is NOT easy, at all, and those who do it, need to understand what they are getting into;
- I talk about the challenges, and opportunities, involved in opening up investment accounts in foreign lands, such as Russia - while it is possible, one needs to be careful about the bureaucracy involved, and be realistic about the challenges as well;
- I talk about the interesting and exciting world of emerging alternative investments, such as digital currencies and stablecoins, and traditional ways of diversifying your currency exposure, like precious metals and cash;
One point I should have mentioned, but forgot, is that the demand for foreign English-speaking teachers in Russia is actually rapidly declining - while interest in those speaking Chinese or Asian languages, is spiking. This is because of Russia's rapid shift toward a true Eurasian posture. It is worth keeping this in mind - Russia is not an easy country to live in, even at the best of times, and nowadays, for foreigners, it is becoming substantially more difficult to enter.
However, I will say this - once you get past a few irritating hurdles, and you bother to take the time and learn the language, life in Russia can be quite pleasant, even wonderful, because of the advanced civilisation, culture, and humanity of its people.

The latest episode of the Didactic Mind podcast is back, finally, with a look at the collapsing Western empire. I discuss the ways in which the West is getting worse and worse - to the point where Western nations can barely figure out how to keep the lights on and the plumbing working - and how these are very obvious symptoms of late-stage imperial collapse. I discuss the predictions made by what was, honestly, an actual joke book, originally designed to mock the hell out of perhaps the biggest Gamma in the entire world of science fiction today. And I talk about how, if you travel around the rest of the world, "enshittification" is not nearly the problem that it is in the West. The root cause I identify here is the spiritual and moral corruption that has infected the West - and I note that there is simply no way one can VOOOOOOOTE HARRRRRDURRRRR!!! to get out of this mess.

Rejoice, brothers and sisters, for Christ is Risen! He is with us and between us on this most glorious of days, as we celebrate Easter and the day of His Resurrection. Today we acknowledge in faith and joy the promise that He made to us, and which He kept. In that spirit, I have put together a set of thoughts on the nature of Easter, what it means for us, and why His Hugeness gave us the signs He did. I also talk about the need to read through Scripture to understand His words, and the dangers of ignoring the clear signs of Scripture, and especially of rejecting the Trinity.

The Didactic Mind podcast is FINALLY back, after a long hiatus due to... well, sheer laziness, mostly, and a real lack of desire to talk about much of the craziness around us. Nonetheless, recent events in the West and Russia have made a podcast necessary to unpack some of the historical and political context behind them. In this episode, I talk about the parallels between the Fall of the Roman Empire, and the very obvious collapse of the FUSA. I discuss how Roman culture, philosophy, and political thought went from Rome, to Byzantium, to Moscow, and how Russia considers itself to be the true guardian of the ancient flame of Graeco-Roman legal philosophy, combined with Christian morality.
I then go into the ways in which the FUSA is falling to the exact same forces that destroyed first the Roman Republic, and then the Roman Empire. I quote the words of one of the Last of the Americans, St. Reagan of the Right, Ronald Magnus himself, to explain how the FUSA has taken a downward course that has doomed it to destruction. And I close with some rather sad words about how the only people who truly understand what America is about to face, are the very people that the neoclowns and GloboHomoPaedoPharisatanists want to exterminate - the Russians.

This latest Domain Query comes by way of LRFotS Randale6, who asks a pertinent and germane question about the difference between natural and artificial, or "learned", charisma, with examples provided as reference points:
Didact, what are your thoughts on natural vs artificial charisma?
For clarification I will provide a summary of each along with a video showcasing it.
Artificial Charisma: Being more charismatic then you naturally are, involves studying the rhetorical and dialectic arts, seeking advantages provided by the environment and/or audience, and preparing ahead of time.
Example video (Mark Zuckerberg speaking Mandarin).
Natural Charisma: Charisma that is innate, often marked by the user's ability to improvise and as they say "fly by the seat of my pants", often without any apparent effort or preparation.
Example video (2016 republican debate, aka Trump abuses rhinos for sport).
In my response, I point out that there is indeed a big difference between the two, but artificial charisma CAN eventually substitute for the real thing, through time and practice, although it will never be a perfect substitute for the natural kind. I liken it to the difference between a naturally gifted athlete, e.g. Roger Federer, and one who is simply relentless and remorseless in his training and dedication to the game, e.g. Novak Djokovic. The former will always be more talented than the latter - but the latter has more titles and more records to his name now.

Happy 2024, brothers and sisters! May the peace and blessings of Our Lord Jesus Christ be with you this year. The podcast that follows is, admittedly, a couple of weeks late - I originally intended to record it on New Year's Day, but that didn't happen, due to family commitments and other things. Nonetheless, here we are with the relevant podcast to kick off 2024.
The first thing to say is, New Year's day marked - no joke - ELEVEN YEARS since I started doing this shitposting thing. That is not an exaggeration. The original Didact's Reach Blogger site launched on Jan 1, 2013. That evolved eventually into the current Didactic Mind site, podcast, and Telegram channel. So we are now into the twelfth year of this whole... journey, if you want to call it that.
Most blogs and sites do not last more than 11 weeks, never mind 11 years. As I point out here, I do not do this for anyone other than myself - I literally do not care what most people think about my writing - but it is nonetheless rather rewarding to learn that other people get value from what I do, and appreciate the output.
So, as always, thank you very much for your continued patronage, site visits, comments, and community participation. If you want to engage more with the content, then be sure to join the Didactic Mind Telegram channel, which is quite a lot of fun for pretty much everyone involved. It is a small, but highly lively, community that regularly engages in hilarious banter and cross-posting of ideas. And Telegram is simply a great platform that combines the best features of Twitter, WhatsApp, and a long-form site, while offering other features that are far better than any of its competitors.
As usual, I will provide analytics for my site and podcast here, so you can get an idea of how this site stacks up against everyone else (hint: not great, but that's fine).
- Total pageviews of 153K in 2023, which is a 41% decrease against 2022's 260K, and is unsurprising given the much lower rate of poasting;
- Total of 31,602 unique visitors across the site, which is down about 27% relative to 2022's 43.6K, and again, for the same reasons;
- Total of 440 comments across 255 posts, which is a decrease of 39% and 16%, respectively;
- Posts averaged 1,086 words each, making them significantly shorter than what we saw in 2022;
The geographic distribution of the site's readership continues to be highly global, but predominantly US-centric:
The Didactic Mind podcast also had a decent, though not great, year - due largely to much lower frequency of recording:
- 2,623 total downloads, down 26.2% against 2022, with over 8,500 total downloads all-time;
- A more or less steady subscriber base of about 126 Telegram members of the Didactic Mind channel;
All in all, a year of struggles, at least in some ways, and I go over some of these in the podcast. I also discuss what 2024 might hold for us, and how we can prepare for what promises to be a very challenging year ahead.

Happy Christmas to you all, my dear brothers and friends! May the peace and blessings of the Lord be upon you and your families on this most wonderful and sacred of days. Today's podcast is all about explaining "the reason for the season", as it were - a phrase I rather dislike, so I try to avoid using it, but it applies nonetheless. In this podcast, I discuss why Christmas is so important, and how the timeless story of the tiny infant born into a manger has so much meaning. I talk about how the person of Jesus is rapidly destroying the heresy of Izzlam, how the power of the Holy Spirit transforms lives and builds men up, and how we can all take inspiration from the greatest story ever told.

Friends, the time has come for another Ask Didact Anything brain-dump. This instalment addresses a wide range of reader questions, starting with a fascinating article sent to me by a reader, and continuing on through various points of interest raised by members of my Telegram channel. (Join for the news feed - stay for the bantz.)
The list of questions is as follows:
- LRFotS AuntRat asks for my thoughts on an excellent article by The Z-Man on the horrors of the new kind of mechanised warfare we see in Banderastan;
- Ambergris asks me to play a kind of "Desert Island Discs" with respect to the bands I would tolerate listening to for the rest of my life;
- Our native Kraut, MK, asks for my opinion on the best places to live with industrialised First-World environments, where a young buck can start a family - Germanic-speaking areas preferred, of course;
- LRFotS Kapios - a veteran from the very earliest days of the old Didact's Reach Blogspot site - asks how I might consider setting up a content-creation business online with a commercial partner;
- The hilarious SupremeCannon - he of the hysterical "Tyroneiums" moniker - asks a serious question about which out of the FUSA, the EUSSR, the UK, or China, will collapse first from colossal financial phuckwittery;
- SupremeCannon again with another question about how Civil War 2.0 will unfold in the FUSA, and whether 2024 will be the year in which it will happen;
Many thanks to all of my channel members and subscribers for their most excellent questions. I hope I have answered them thoroughly and thoughtfully, and welcome your comments both here and on Telegram.

The Didactic Mind podcast is finally BACK with a new episode! This one is all about the importance of debt forgiveness, from both a moral and economic perspective, as it is a necessary (but not sufficient) condition for ensuring investment in genuinely productive sectors of the national economy. I go over a number of topics here today, starting with Scripture, going through fake economic statistics and the work of heretic economists like Dr. Fadi Lama and Dr. Michael Hudson and some of the Austrian economists. I then discuss how debt is crushing youngsters in the FUSA, with similar effects felt in many Western nations. And I talk about how social engineering experiments in Russia's Far East offer solutions to some of the most pressing demographic problems we see today.
This is one of those podcasts that weaves together lots of different ideas into something that is (hopefully) a cohesive whole, and I would be intrigued to get the audience's thoughts, so be sure to like, comment, share, and subscribe.

This one originated from a question sent to me by LRFotS MK, who is also a Telegram channel subscriber, about a program done on The Duran with Alex from Reporterfy. The program in question was a most excellent Q&A session between the THREE Alexes - they are multiplying like rabbits, I swear - about the coming financial apocalypse. The third Alex raised a lot of excellent points - indeed, I agree with basically everything he said - but he skimmed over quite a lot of details, and obfuscated others.
So, MK reached out to me to ask for my own point of view and explanations as to the financial chicanery going on right now. I give it my best shot here, in which I apply my own expertise and experience in derivatives pricing, economics, financial services, energy, risk management, and other fields, and I welcome follow-up questions from this episode.

Here we are, back with another Domain Query episode. This one is perhaps the most complex and demanding topic ever, because it touches on so many different things. As with the previous episode, this comes via a query from LRFotS Randale6, who asked - well, ranted, really - about a whole bunch of different things:
Breaking with my established pattern of geopolitical queries I present something that may be haunting the majority of the readership. Wife hunting post-plandemic. Simply put many of us Western escapees understand two things. First we must get out of the West and never return, secondly we must find wives abroad (western women at this point can only be made serviceable by slavery, and I mean this literally). The plandemic has complicated this matter enormously thanks to genocide in a syringe. South-East Asia for example may be completely wrecked if the jab numbers concerning it are accurate. Given that this was the number 1 place for westerners wife hunting safaris this means two things, either we have to abandon the region entirely or we have to have someway of reliably separating the wheat from the chaff. I have no clue about how to do the latter efficiently (and reliably, as the truth comes to light women will start lying...as usual). As for the second the problem is the same with a twist, how do we accurately sort through the noise of the statistics? All I can reliably make out from the mainstream headlines is the following. Eastern Europe (we will include Russia in this grouping) and Africa in general seem to be the least vaxxed populations worldwide. Meanwhile the west (outside of the USA, the benefits of a third of our population being conspiracy theorists) is fucked, the middle east proper (excluding North Africa) is very middle of the road as a whole, South America is aping North America to it's detriment, and Central Asia is also middle of the road. All of this is further muddled by two things, questionable statistics from questionable sources (let us hope that they are deliberately cherry picking their data to inflate things), and the (not)vaccines administered. If I were a betting man I would wager that the Chinese and Russian vaccines are less harmful than their western equivalents. This is admittedly a low bar to beat, the aforementioned countries besting it simply by not being a bunch of depopulationists dredged from the asshole of Satan. This leaves us in one final pickle, the matter of the (new) hunting grounds. Eastern Europe while not new to us Americans isn't a good choice from what I've seen here in America. This is admittedly based on a sample size of one but it wasn't good, the woman is literally named Natasha (I forget if she is Russian or Ukrainian) and upon receiving her green card promptly divorced her rube and proceeded to shack up with a 20 year old arab boytoy. The next (most)viable area would be the caucuses countries of Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia. This region is so remote and so obscure that it's hard to gauge it, all I can surmise is that these countries are a better choice then the others I will list here. Central Asia suffers from the same problem as the caucuses, there just isn't enough expat experience of the region online to make anything remotely resembling an assessment of the landscape. Next up is...the middle east. Needless to say I do not fancy this option one bit given my secular(ish) instincts (at this point I ain't sure about the existence of god(s), the existence of devils and demons on the other hand...I can believe that). For someone religious this could prove to be a more profitable expedition, let's not pretend that Arab Christians (particularly the Palestinian and Egyptian varieties) like living under the Jewish and Muslim boot, respectively. Finally we arrive at Africa, for the record I will note the following. I will only consider North Africa here, having seen the barbarism and evil that is inherent to negro race here in North America I will never stain my bloodline with their filth. With that out of the way onto the question of North Africa. North Africa strikes me as being a less extreme version of the middle-east, this trend truly picking up steam anywhere west of Libya (may the entire Clinton family burn in hell). Beyond this general trend of lessening craziness the farther from Mecca you go I don't have much more to say concerning the region (the information problems I mentioned concerning Central Asia seem to apply to this region as well). I know this one is going to be a bitch didact, this is probably the hardest domain query I have ever asked of you. I simply do not have both the first hand experience and the mathematical background to sort out the true from the false (beyond assuming that the mainstream statistics have been fudged) with regards to this problem.Well, to be honest, I'm not even sure exactly where to start with this one, but I gave it the old college try, as it were, and here is the result. My basic answer to these questions is: you are not alone. There are more of us purebloods than most people realise, and it is only by striking out and taking risks to find them, that one will realise we are rapidly becoming the MAJORITY in the West, not the minority.Protect Yourself From Big TechI make some pretty incendiary statements in this podcast, and in most of my podcasts.

Hail, brothers! The Domain Query series is finally back, with an all-new episode, thanks to LRFotS Randale6, who wrote in with a long two-part question. The questions relate to my recent trip to Russia, and everything that I have seen and learned before and since. Here is what he asked - edited somewhat, due to my Grammar Nazi tendencies:
The first question is pertinent to your recent vacation to Russia, have the Russians finally accepted and (we can hope) embraced the reality that they are Russian, not European, and not Asian? I do not mean this in the cruel sense of deriding the Russians as a barbaric race, rather I think of them as being the far eastern analogue to Texas...just bigger, colder, and to be blunt possessed of questionable cuisine (all hail the two truly homegrown American cuisines, Cajun and Tex-Mex).
Over here in the USA Texas has never been ashamed of being Texas, it readily accepts the fact that it is its own little (alright, big) reality that doesn't quite play by the rules as the American South, Southwest, and Appalachia know them. But Russian history doesn't play out that way, it's never a good sign when your nobility can speak better French than Russian...and you keep doing it despite the frogs shitting on you whenever they see you (ditto for the rest of western Europe with regards to Russia).
The second question relates to China. Simply put the Chinese have done something that they have never done since before the birth of Christ, that something being the alteration of their government. From the time of the first Emperor to the nomadic conquerors from over the wall the Chinese governmental model has stood firm, the only changes to it essentially being window dressing.
Those days are now gone, in the place of the old dynasties stands the CCP (which should be renamed the Fascist Chinese Party if we are honest). The CCP has a problem, a threat that it cannot answer like the old dynasties did. That thorn in their side being the question of legitimacy.
In the two millennia of dynastic rule all an Emperor had to do to remain legitimate was to keep China prosperous and stable. So long as he could do this the Emperor was legitimate, regardless of whatever bullshit his predecessors had cooked up.
However, the CCP cannot partake of this Mandate of Heaven like the dynasties did. The CCP is built around ideology, not an Emperor. Just because Deng took over from Mao does not mean the former can abjure the latter as having lost the mandate of heaven, the ideological tenets of the CCP being an absolute commandments that cannot be challenged (formally) lest the foundations of the entire party crumble.
Simply put the CCP cannot come to terms with the fact that are no longer Communist, they are Fascists, hence such euphemisms as "Communism with Chinese Characteristics". What this does is force the party to live in a state of cognitive (and political) dissonance, a damaging state for both the individual and the party itself.
With that in mind do you think that the CCP can overcome this internal contradiction?
I answer these questions at length in the podcast. Basically, the answer to the first question is: YES, the Russians have rediscovered their ancient love of their own people, and their own deeply ingrained sense of national pride.
The answer to the second is more complex, and there are a few misconceptions about the CPC that I need to clear up first. Essentially, the CPC faces a number of serious problems in China, and is working to address them by way of your typical engineering mindset - build, baby, build! This is not necessarily a sensible solution, because the problems confronting the CPC are quite severe structural ones, which they have failed to address for many years. But they are nowhere near as severe as what faces the West, and I believe the CPC enjoys far greater popular support than most Western commentators realise.

This episode of Didactic Mind is all about the misguided and very foolish return of Stalinism as an in-vogue political and social philosophy. This all came about because of the recent appearance by one Jackson Hinkle on Piers Morgan's show (Lord, have mercy, because that guy, right there, deserves a proper slapping), in which Jackson did utterly humiliate both Piers and his guest, Konstantin Kisin. But then, Jackson stated openly that he is a Stalinist, and believes in returning to Stalinist policies. This got me rather annoyed, because this is a trend I am seeing a lot of late on the channels I watch.
Therefore, in this episode, I explain why Stalinism is such a terrible idea, and where it actually led over time - to starvation, backwardness, and eventual economic collapse. Stalin's economic model is not one for the rest of us to follow - it leads to very, very bad places, and its actual record in action is truly terrible. Just because neoliberal policies are failing completely, that does not mean we should trade in one set of huge failures for another.
Reading List I reference a fair few books and works in this episode. Here is a partial list:

- Economic Calculation in the Socialist Commonwealth by Ludwig von Mises

The Didactic Mind podcast is FINALLY back, after many months off due to... well, laziness, really. This episode is all about geopolitics, and discusses the extreme and fatal errors of judgement made by the GloboHomoPaedoPharisatanist elites that have led the West from disaster to catastrophe. They fundamentally miscalculated about the nature of the enemy they sought to make out of Russia, and they also completely misunderstood themselves. The result is what we see today - a broken, beaten West that nonetheless refuses to give up on its idiotic quest to defeat an industrial and energy superpower.
The Banderastan War is but the latest manifestation of this incompetence and reckless stupidity - and it will only end once the West itself shatters, which may be sooner than any of us would like to admit.

The Domain Query series is finally back, with a new instalment, thanks to LRFotS Randale6. He had an unusual and rather interesting question for me, related to gaming, which I answered at some length here. The question goes as follows:
Departing from our usual fare I have one question: have we reached "good enough graphics" for gaming? What I mean by this question is have we reached the point in gaming where making your game the most graphically advanced (and ram chugging) wunderwaffen is even necessary to attract gamers?
For what I would consider the "base" where I started to see this occur in my mind I am bringing up a mass effect 3 (2012 release date) gameplay video. I never played any halo games but from research halo 4 was release in the same year as mass effect 3, so it should make a good comparison to mass effect 3 (I don't believe you have played any mass effect games from what I can recollect).
Here is the gameplay video our boy mentioned.
It is a rather good question. In my personal view, graphics have plateaued - they haven't peaked yet, but they aren't really improving at the speed and levels that would tempt people to buy those games en masse. I think gaming will move back toward the things that make people actually fork out cash, by going back to the basics, because the obsession with having the most whiz-bang wowser graphics has resulted in serious deterioration of core gameplay mechanics, story, and character.
Of course, my views on gaming are positively archaic by modern standards, so I invite anyone who thinks differently, to comment below. Have at it, lads.

Gentlemen! We just concluded another round of Ask Didact Anything Day on my Telegram channel, which is your chance as a member of the community (such as it is) to ask questions to yer very 'eavy, very 'umble Warrior-Servant. We got a really good battery of questions in for today's podcast, and I was very pleased to take some time to answer them all:
- Dan: Which European country is in the worst shape socially and economically? And which would you expect to see collapse first?
- SupremeCannon: Progozhin said there were other PMC's operating alongside Wagner. (Gazprom has a PMC?! Shoigu has a PMC?!) Is Russia really that freewheeling, militarily speaking?
- WB: Can I borrow a dollar?
- AK: When people are willingly rushing towards their demise and moral decay is this a sign of the coming dark ages? To clarify further: I understand that we had difficult times in the past because people were misinformed, but is this the time that St. Anthony prophesized? The masses are not just misinformed. They truly convinced themselves that modern lunatic and satanic rules/practices coming from the elites, are good for them.
- GW: Is the current round of US bank failures the beginning of the end of the US financial system, or will they be able to kick the can down the road a few more years?
- Randale6: As I have been browsing the various forums available for international teachers I have noticed that certain countries and areas as being deemed "hardship" locations. Said locales are easier to get jobs at as they get less applicants and thus have to be a bit more open-minded. One of the areas mentioned is Central Asia (e.g Mongolia and all the stans) and I personally feel drawn to the old silk road. Do you have any experience of the Central Asian locales at all?
- Dan: I see the Kombat Kats as well as plenty of dogs in your posts. Are you a cat or dog person and why?
I have to confess that I missed out on one question - which was kind of stupid, because it was literally the first one in the list, and somehow I managed to skip over it entirely. I will address that one specifically in a voice message on my Telegram channel. Here's the question:
MK: Are there good Russian history media in English or do I have to get off my lazy butt and actually learn Russian?
Sorry, bro - will get back to you about this.
For everyone else - here is the podcast.

Hail brothers and sisters - CHRIST IS RISEN! On this very special Easter Sunday podcast, I discuss the nether realm by weaving together the views of various Catholic exorcists (for whom I have tremendous respect), the late, great, and sorely missed Dr. Michael Heiser's work, and the elements of Scripture which pertain directly to the realities of that realm. I discuss how daemons are increasingly telling exorcists that they feel their time is coming, that something very BIG is on the way, and I talk about how God permits and uses their activities to help us purify ourselves, turn away from sin, and glorify Him through our own sanctification. I talk about the ways in which the worst excesses of Western civilisation are really a form of daemon-worship, and how the gods of many cultures are in fact daemonic entities in disguise. Finally, I talk about how the Resurrection is our ultimate bulwark against evil, for it fulfils God's promise to us and redeems us through the sacred blood of Christ our Lord.
There is a LOT packed into this episode, and you might have some questions coming off it, so be sure to reach out via the comments or direct emails if you wish - I might do a follow-up if there is sufficient demand.

The main Didactic Mind podcast is now back - two episodes in two weeks, which is something to celebrate, given how infrequent the podcasts have been of late. (Yes, I know - my fault entirely, mea culpa, etc. etc.) This week's episode is all about the unfolding multipolar world. I talk about some key economic indicators and what they mean for the Western economies. I discuss how American policies have forced countries around the world to de-dollarise - but, as I point out, this does NOT mean the USD will eventually be replaced outright by the RMB, simply because the Chinese yuan does not have enough "float" to do so, and because the Chinese have no desire whatsoever to be the world's reserve trading platform.
I go on to draw parallels between what we have seen in the past, with the collapse of empires, specifically the (western) Roman empire, and the current very obvious decline of the American empire. Then, I move on to point out what the world will look like, as a multipolar one based on regional trading blocs that work with each other, rather than constantly fighting wars against each other, instigated by the American Deep State. The podcast finishes with a reference to the Watchers and the spiritual war in which we find ourselves, with more to come in next week's Easter Sunday podcast.

Protect Yourself From Big TechI make some pretty incendiary statements in this podcast, and in most of my podcasts. I can only do so because I take steps to protect myself from the Big Tech companies, and preserve my identity. You need to do the same – this is no longer optional, because if you don’t, the gatekeepers WILL come for your head.

Comes a query from reader Ned, who asked a question that I should have answered more directly in my previous podcast. This one is all about whether or not the neoclowns currently driving the Western world over a cliff at roughly the speed of sound, have any capacity or inclination to back off and reconsider their literally suicidal strategery:
Do you think the global banking crisis will escalate the eastern European war, or do you think it will cause western neocons to pause and retreat?
The short answer is:
Not only NO, but FK NO!!!
The somewhat longer answer is that, if you look at where neoclowns come from, who they are, what they have studied, and how they think, then you will quickly realise they have zero capacity for self-reflection, learning, and admitting mistakes. As a result, they are utterly incapable of backing off a failing strategy. Therefore, the global banking crisis will result in a redoubling of their efforts to destroy Russia through force of arms.
And it will fail - along with the Western banking system.
Many thanks to Ned for the question - feel free to ask any follow-ups as you see fit.

The main Didactic Mind podcast is FINALLY back with a new episode. This one is all about the very real and visible collapse of the American Empire, and the manner in which Amerikhastan is reacting to it. In this episode, I outline the tectonic shifts in geopolitics that we have seen in the past week, and explain some of their implications for the Western neoliberal empire. I point out that neither the Chinese nor the Russians are in the least bit interested in actual hegemony - instead, they are actually interested in simply being left the hell ALONE to pursue their own courses and development paths. I specifically discuss the failings of the neoliberal ideology of Clown World and GloboHomoPaedoSatanry, and I explain how the developing nations of the world are fighting and pushing back against it. And I note the implications for Westerners and their economies as a result of their own policies.
Of particular interest to me here is the rather odd Western notion that China seeks to supplant America as a global hegemon. This is simply untrue, and I explain why by pointing out some basic geopolitical realities of China's position in the world.
I close by noting that Western neoliberal failures have compounded to the point where they simply cannot sustain themselves any longer, and the "turbo-Americanism" of the West is going to fail, no matter what.
There will be a Domain Query episode coming up as well, as there is a question from a reader which I did not fully address in this one.

The Domain Query series is FINALLY back, with a long episode that deals with a wide range of reader questions. These come from my Telegram channel, the site, and emails from readers. I would like to thank everyone who wrote in and asked questions - I very much appreciate it, and I do apologise for the lengthy delays in getting around to answering these. The questions are as follows:
- MK: With a hearty Guten Tag from the salty liverwurst-reich, I humbly request your advice on the following: how does one get into the WH40K and Halo universes? I've only seen the Helsreach movie for 40K, and nothing for Halo. However, I would like to at least know what various references mean.
- MK: How badly screwed are Western Europe's industries? Will they revert to the stone age as predicted by Martyanov or just recede a little bit in the parts that won't join Russia's orbit?
- WB: What is the overall 'boots on the ground' economy really like in Britain now?
- GW: Given that China is one of the biggest holders of US treasury bonds and dollars, how much influence does that give them over the US economy and government? What happens to China’s holdings if there is a war between the two countries?
- Dan: How will the American Deep State react when it becomes apparent that Ukraine has lost, and lost badly. Do you think they pretend it didn't happen, pivot to China, or escalate with Russia?
- Dan: Assuming things ever calm down, and a European or American can visit Russia, what is your advice? I assume St Petersburg should be the priority? Are Russians friendly, at least compared to the French?
- James: Somewhat unrelated to the SMO, although definitely part of the JWO agenda. Are Russians dying from "suddenly" and "unexpectedly" like so many young and otherwise healthy people are in the "West?" Is Sputnik the killer that Pfizer, Moderna, J&J and Astra Zeneca are?
- Dark: “Go lookup the history of Ukrainian nationalism, and the abominable way in which the Ukrainians handled their own infrastructure and economic gifts left over from the USSR, and you will quickly realise that perhaps no country in history has ever squandered so much, so quickly, in the name of so little.” This is a topic of interest, can you give me a starter pack?

HAPPY NEW YEAR, brothers and sisters! May the peace and blessings of Our Lord Jesus Christ be with you and your families and loved ones in 2023, and may we march ahead into the coming year armed with faith, hope, and above all, love. Hard times are surely ahead - but God is surely with us, and with Him on our side, nothing is impossible.
Before I get into the contents of this very first podcast of 2023, let me take a moment to acknowledge an incredible milestone:
This is the TENTH ANNIVERSARY of the day I started writing as just some random blogger on teh innarwebz.
On January 1, 2013, I started up the old Didact's Reach site on Blogger, and kept that going for more than 7 years before I switched to a shared-hosting platform to get away from Goolag's control over my content. I started writing because the only alternative was to go crazy, since I had literally no other outlet for my increasing frustration and anger with the way the world was going.
So I decided that, instead of screaming into the void, I might as well do something about it, and start writing.
I never expected anyone to read my writing, much less follow it. Yet, here we are, 10 years later, and some of you have been reading my writing since very nearly Day 1.
I also never expected to create any kind of community around my writing or my site. Yet, here we are today, with a Didactic Mind podcast on Podbean, a Telegram channel, and an independent website, plus a couple of ancillary sites (which, admittedly, need some development and new content).
It's been a decade of growth and change for me personally, and many of you have been there for the journey. I have benefited immensely from putting in the time and effort to research my ideas and arguments, refining them down from inchoate masses of thoughts to useful contributions. Along the way, I have met and made friends that I never could have expected to run into otherwise.
So, from me to you, THANK YOU for your patronage and your time. I do not do this for popularity or views, but it is gratifying indeed to know that others find value in it.
As is the usual way of things with the first real post of the year, here are the site's statistics for 2022:
- Total pageviews of 260K when you count both the old Blogger site and the current shared-hosting incarnation - down 3.6% from 2021's 270K, but not bad at all considering the lower output;
- Total of 43,579 unique visitors across the entire year, up 16.5% compared to 2021;
- Readers posted a total of 722 comments across 303 posts, down 12.5% and 8.7% respectively against 2021;
- Posts averaged 1,803 words in length, up 3% compared to 2021;
So basically, a pretty decent year in most respects, despite lower overall output, helped along substantially by a few posts which attracted thousands of views rather than the usual hundreds.
The geographic distribution of my readership was pretty interesting too - take a look:
But that is not the end of the story, because the other media platforms also come into play:
- The Didactic Mind podcast managed over 3,160 downloads across all of 2022, and hit over 6,000 downloads life-to-date on the Podbean platform;
- The Didactic Mind Telegram channel went from zero to 139 subscribers in 2022 - which is nothing overall, but is decent for a private Telegram channel that can only be joined using an invitation link;
With all the stats out of the way, let us get on to the actual podcast itself, which goes into all of the above at a high level, and then goes into what I think the year ahead holds, and how we can prepare for it.

The Didactic Mind podcast is back with a Christmas special! Happy Christmas to all of you, and may the Lord's blessings be with you, each and every one. Today I discuss the meaning of Christmas, in terms of the values of peace, joy, compassion, forgiveness, brotherhood, and love, and what it means to spread these things to others. I talk about how the Lord's birth as a humble man, born into this world in the most simple way possible, signifies God's boundless love for us, and shows us His deep desire to be close to us, part of our lives. I talk about the ways in which the coming year will prove challenging and difficult for us, and how we can mitigate those challenges by focusing on what it is that God wants from us.
Above all, I bring you a message of hope, faith, and love - the eternal love of the most mighty God. Let us all glory in His love for us, and do our best to incorporate Him into our lives, because that is what He wants from us.

This episode of Domain Query is in response to an excellent question from reader G W on my Didactic Mind Telegram channel. The question related to the possibility of an American debt default, and the consequences thereof. Essentially, I was asked: "what would be the results of a US default?"
The short answer is that it would be an unmitigated catastrophe, the likes of which we have never, ever seen before. But that does not actually explain the true scale and size of the problem. To do that, you have to look at the actual history of the US dollar, and why it is a debt-based currency. You also have to understand something about the international linkages of the global economy, and the pervasive influence and power of American Treasury bonds. Once you get some idea of just how much the world depends on US debt for all sorts of purposes, you will then understand why an American default will literally collapse the entire global economy.
I go into these subjects, and much more, in the podcast here.

Reader RT asked some very interesting follow-up questions on my Telegram channel to my latest Didactic Mind podcast, related to the issues of what money is, what it does, and why inflation is so evil. The follow-up questions have to do with how money came to be, what it is today, and a set of ancillary questions about political economy and the possiblities of European energy independence:
Weren't money established as a means to pay taxes, among other things? I guess it would be historically defendable and one way of centralizing power in the hands of state was to remove the right to coinage of local lords, at least here in Europe. It also raises the interesting question if cryptocurrency is money.
There is a political dimension to economy and I can understand Europe's desire to be independent from Russian energy supplies as much as possible (although why to be dependent on the US?). Autarky is hardly achievable goal but still… That leads to the question what domestic resources Europe has (.e. coal) and if or to what extent they could replace Russian or American gas? From this point of view even the so called green energy has a merit if it is managable. This question arises due to the fact Europe was a rich continent even before importing Russian gas and there is no guaranty that in 2 generations Russian government will still be as reasonable as it is today.
This is a wide-ranging series of questions encompassing a very large number of different questions and ideas, so the resulting podcast is quite a bit longer than my usual Domain Query responses. Essentially, my views are:
- Money evolved originally as a way of smoothing out transactions, rather than as a way to pay taxes - and indeed taxation in the ancient world depended largely on products and labour, rather than hard currency;
- While it is true that governments around the world try to centralise the production of money as a way of preserving their own power, it is still possible to find examples of private entities that can issue their own money;
- European energy independence from Russia is indeed possible, but that would require having the political will and means to extract Europe's own, quite bountiful, energy resources, which I do not see as likely at all these days;
- The European dependence on Russian energy that we see today, did not happen by accident, nor by malicious design, but rather because of very rational incentives created by European labour markets and political developments;
- Green energy is by no means an effective or useful replacement for fossil fuels - these methods are much less efficient, productive, and useful, and are actually themselves quite dirty in their own ways;
- There is simply no way to replace fossil fuels with so-called "green" energy on any reasonable scale, without using nuclear power, which comes with its own issues and problems;
- The entire "green energy" agenda is based on a lie about so-called "man-made global warming", where the people telling the lies have cause and effect completely backwards;
Here's the podcast. As noted at the beginning, be sure to join my Telegram channel if you have not already done so, as the questions you see above are an example of the kinds of intelligent discussion that you will find in that channel. (Along with the inevitable parade of tactical minutiae, pawsitivity, hot girls, and general shitposting - it is a channel by men, for men, after all.)

The Didactic Mind podcast is back, finally, with a long discussion about the rather disastrous state of modern economics. Specifically, I start by defining what money IS, and how different forms of money have evolved over time. I point out that money is absolutely linked to time, which makes it a direct translation of one's life into tangible value. From there, I embark on a discussion of Keynesian economics and its views on money, and then talk about the Monetarist heresy of that very same particularly stupid way of thinking. I delve into the insanity of Modern Monetary Theory (MMT), which is essentially an entire school of economics devoted to the destruction of wealth and sound money, before ending on an impassioned screed about how nations can resolve the issue of rampant inflation through sound monetary policy and the removal of SANKSHUNS!!! upon THOSE DAMNED ROOSKEES!!!
This is probably one of my "rantier" podcasts, and with good reason. There is a lot to unpack here, and honestly I only really skimmed the surface. My argument really comes down to the fact that time literally is money, and that by destroying the value of money, governments destroy the value of people's lives - which is an act of great and terrible evil.

In this latest Domain Query, I address a rather interesting question from LRFotS Randale6 that touches on the thorny and tricky issue of thinking machines and artificial intelligence, while referencing the greatest sci-fi novel ever written. Here's the original question:
Here is an admittly [sic] unusual domain query, was Dune correct that mankind will either have to place limits upon AI (and it's [sic] sister technologies) or outright prohibit them altogether?
I discuss the answers to this question by pulling together the origins of the Dune reference, some examples of what AI does really well, where the worries about AI becoming self-aware and self-replicating come from, and why we shouldn't really be too bothered in the current context. I also caveat this by pointing out that there are certain highly promising technologies, like quantum computing, which may become true game-changers, IF they live up to the hype. The short answer is, I don't think we need to be worried at this point.

I make some pretty incendiary statements in this podcast, and in most of my podcasts. I can only do so because I take steps to protect myself from the Big Tech companies, and preserve my identity. You need to do the same – this is no longer optional, because if you don’t, the gatekeepers WILL come for your head.
If you don’t know where to start, then I’ve got you covered right here with this post. Here are the specific steps that you can take:
- Make sure that your web traffic is safe and protected from prying eyes using a VPN – click here to get a massive 80% OFF on a 24-month subscription with Surfshark;
- Be sure also to check out Incogni, the new data and privacy management tool offered by Surfshark, which simply works behind the scenes to ensure that no malign actors can take advantage of your data ever again;
- Another solid VPN option for you is Atlas VPN, brought to you by the same company that creates NordVPN;
- The best SSD drive that you can get right now, with blazing fast speeds and near-native storage capabilities, is probably the SanDisk Extreme 1TB Portable SSD with NVMe technology – I bought this myself to keep a moving backup of all of my files, it’s the size of a credit card, and it’s absolutely superb;

The main Didactic Mind podcast is finally back with a new episode. In this one, I argue that we are already in a World War - whether you call it World War III or IV at this point, I don't know or care, but the fact is that we ARE dealing with a global war between at least two huge power blocs. I call out the Empire of Lies for what it is, and I straight-up argue that the USSA is now a terrorist state, after what it did with the Nord Stream project and the way that it has supported an openly and avowedly neo-Nazi regime in Ukraine. In the wake of the Kerch Bridge attack, I argue that the Russian people are no longer interested in compromise or peace with anything less than the outright destruction of Ukraine and the total defeat of NATO. I argue that the extremely weak and pathetically poor leadership of the Fake President has opened up opportunities for the Deep State factions to go to war with each other and the entire world. And I explain that the Neo-Tsar is not going to use a nuclear first strike, because that is not the Russian way or doctrine - but that he is also under tremendous pressure from his own government and people to deal with Ukraine much more harshly than he has so far.
In other words - we are staring at an extremely combustible and dangerous situation, and no one has any idea how bad things could get, or how fast.

The Domain Query series is finally back, after a long hiatus. This week's question comes from a reader and subscriber to my Telegram channel - be sure to subscribe if you have not done so already, it's a great community of like-minded men who banter back and forth and just generally have a lot of fun ribbing me about my awful taste in music and women. (I can't help it if my critics are all Philistines...)
Anyway, reader MK asked the following:
Dear Didact,
I hope this missive finds you well, and I thank you again for your extensive response to my last domain query... Today, I write to you on behalf of my friend, we'll call him Z. Z asked, with respect to the Pajeet Code phenomenon, whether or not Indian culture raises its men to be more gamma than the Anglosphere does. And I see his point: the act of Pajeet coding - to shortcut code that sort of works for now - is how gammas deal with every problem. As one of the few men who understand both Indian culture and the SSH, what do you think? Is Z onto something? Are Indian men more gamma than the Western norm? Since I intend to relay your response to him, I would strongly prefer something that can be easily shared as a response. Thank you again for your time, for all your work, especially that on the 404 War. In Christ, MK
I am certainly happy for this response to be shared, though keep in mind that a lot of blue-pilled types will probably find it off-putting. I cannot help that, the truth is what it is, but we must not shy away from it. In this Domain Query, I explain where this particularly awful phenomenon comes from, its consequences for the Indians who suffer from it, and how it can potentially be fixed. (Spoiler alert: it's not likely to happen anytime soon.) As always, many thanks to my readers for writing in with questions and suggestions, I am happy to answer queries from my readership, so feel free to reach out and ask if there is something you would like me to unpack.

The Domain Query series is BACK after a little bit of a hiatus, with a long broadcast answering a set of very interesting and quite wide-ranging questions from LRFotS Randale6. This was good fun to talk through, but I think I might have pissed off Satan's butt-gremlins in the process, because my laptop (running Linux Mint 20.3, no less) blew a fuse somehow and refused to recognise input from either the mouse or keyboard. So I was rather worried that I'd lost the entire podcast, which was over an hour in length. I sure as shit didn't want to re-record the whole damned thing, but fortunately, Audacity was able to restore the cached version.
That being said, if you hear something off during the podcast, or the sound goes squirrelly, let me know, because I have no idea whether the original audio stream is intact. It SEEMS to be, but I really have no way to be sure, short of listening to the whole damn thing myself, and I don't like the sound of my own voice THAT much.
So here is the original question list:
- Is homosexuality innate, "conditioned" or a mix of the two?
- Is the FBI ride [sic - "raid"] on Mar-A-Lago a sign of establishment power...or fear?
- Having just done modern art history for elective credit filling...what exactly happened? It seems from approximately the 1850s to 1929 half the art became crap, from the 1929 on the art became a steaming pile of biden****.
- What is the line between nationalism and fascism and where do the Pinochet (Chile) and Franco (Spain) fall on this continuum?
- Relating to the above, are some countries only suited for the "great man" style of leadership (characterized by a highly charismatic, capable leader with at the minimum an authoritarian streak)? Latin countries in particular come to mind (along with Russia).
- Having listened to Adam Piggott's recent podcast I have a curious question, as backward and barbaric as Islam can be...is their approach to women and their management the correct one?
I've gone through them one after another, with varying amounts of time devoted to each answer. Be warned, this does get controversial and I do discuss some very icky subjects when answering all of this, so if you don't like listening to based commentary, well, go back to your safe space. Otherwise, listen on.
With respect to the question about Franco and Pinochet, I have to beg ignorance about their specific policies, but I would say that Pinochet, in particular, was merely a nationalist, and was assuredly not a fascist, given the market-based reforms that he pushed through in Chile. My understanding of Franco as well is that he was much more market-oriented than Hitler, Mussolini, or Tojo ever were. As I stated in the podcast, the best way to understand fascism is that it is a SUBSET of nationalism, and that nationalism in and of itself allows one to embrace either socialism or capitalism.

I reference a lot of different sources and books in this podcast, and I can't quite remember them all, but if you have other sources to suggest, stick 'em in the comments, because this is a very broad set of questions and ideas for discussion.

The latest podcast episode is all about the evolution of a new world order, based on nation-states acting in their own interests, rather than the extraordinarily arrogant, foolish, childish, reckless, and outright stupid globalist approach taken by the collective West these days. I look back at an old article that I wrote some years ago, in which I used a HALO analogy concerning the Forerunners and compared them with the American global empire, and look at the accuracy of those claims compared with the modern day. And I note that a bit of competition in terms of ideologies is actually a VERY Good Thing, by discussing how the world will look as the American Empire fails and falls.

In this latest episode of the Didactic Mind podcast, I discuss the rather curious phenomenon that we see today of the Eurasian nations being led by (largely) competent, capable, sensible people who are well-suited to their specific positions, versus the completely imbecilic and childish idiots leading the West. I posit a theory that the people in Cabinet-level positions in Western nations are not only miseducated, but MALEDUCATED - that is to say, deeply unqualified for their roles, and totally incapable of learning enough to become qualified for them. I talk about the differences between Western and Russian/Chinese/Indian education systems, and talk in particular about the very different levels of emphasis on mathematics and science in those systems.
While I believe that no one can be truly educated without having a comprehensive understanding of other humanities disciplines, I argue that the lack of a firm analytical foundation, created by studying mathematics, science, and engineering of some kind, makes the elite graduates of Western universities highly incapable of dealing with the real world.
Finally, I discuss how the current Western educational environment is DEEPLY incestuous, in the sense that it creates elites who basically just sniff each other's farts and live in a thoroughly delusional bubble that is totally disconnected from reality.
The table that I compiled in my discussion can be seen down below, and as always, you are free to examine the data for yourself to see if my rough working theory has any foundation.

LRFotS Randale6 wrote in earlier this week to request my take on a very important, indeed fundamental, question about the human condition - and he did it by quoting Spaceballs. Now, when a Christian nerd gets a question from another sci-fi nerd phrased in a way that references one of the silliest, yet somehow most classic, comedy movies ever made, he cannot help but answer it. So here's what our friend asked me:
Now for thee [sic] oddball request, remember Dark Helmet from Spaceballs saying "So, Lone Starr, now you see that evil will always triumph, because good is dumb." Why exactly is that? Are morality and common sense at cross-purposes? It just feels like the parable of the scorpion and the frog, and the frog never seems to learn that it can't trust the scorpion.
It's a very good question, which cannot be properly answered from a secular perspective, because secularism is not capable of coming up with a proper definition of evil. In this Domain Query episode, I look at how Man's rebellion against God, who is the definition of good, is at the root of our continued inability to deal with evil. We do not learn the lessons because we CANNOT, since we constantly rebel against the very thing that is trying to bring us back over to the right and sensible course. Furthermore, our refusal to "get with the program", as it were, leads us to forget the lessons of the past and insist on repeating the same old mistakes. On top of that, normal people DO have a spark of innate goodness in them, which makes them really incapable of understanding how evil works and thinks - and to explain this, I discuss what and how psychopaths act, and why evil in this world is a genuine manifestation of psychopathic intelligence. And finally, I discuss how our turning away from that which is by definition good, has left us unable to understand the absolute need for discipline and punishment for bad behaviour, which is why we keep making the same stupid mistakes repeatedly.
Here's the original quote from Spaceballs that inspired the question. And here's the great speech from Julius Caesar, starring Marlon Brando, that inspired the title. (Alternative version with Charlton Heston.)
And, in keeping with my own personal character...

The Didactic Mind podcast is back with a new episode based on a very interesting livestream from The Duran, in which the Greek gents interviewed the esteemed Robert Barnes. In that livestream, he pointed out that there are three factions of the Deep State, engaged in a major internecine and fratricidal war, due to the total failures of the Evil Empire in fighting the 404 War against Russia. In this episode, I take that idea and run with it, explaining where these three factions come from, who controls what (roughly speaking), and, toward the end, which faction is likely to win that war and why.
Here is the livestream episode that sparked off the episode - do take a look, and be sure to subscribe to Alex, Alexander, and The Duran.

Friend and LRFotS JohnC911 had a very interesting follow-up to Episode 100 of the main Didactic Mind podcast on a related but separate topic:
Didactic I do have a question and it relates to the immigration into the west from countries like India and the Middle East. When major problems of the west start to happen and living in the west becomes unbearable for many of the non Europeans, how will the countries that receive them be affected?
I am thinking for example such as Arabs that were brought up in the west returning to countries such as Saudi Arabia, Indians returning to India from the west.
Would the western liberal influence infected the countries or the opposite? Would there be religious and ideological problems cause?
I answer this question by breaking it up into two parts with two subsections each. Essentially, I take the view that the wealthy and internationally mobile elite immigrants will return to their old countries, and will bring with them some of the GloboHomoPaedo disease. Those not capable of moving, will stay in the West, and become ever more radicalised and angry and difficult. There will be inevitable reactions and pushbacks against both types. I go into the details at some length in this podcast.

LRFotS Randale6 and I had a long conversation via email on a number of topics, stemming from his idea that someone like me should start up a successor site to the old Return of Kings platform. He mentioned that I had said something along these lines in the past, which I do vaguely recall doing at some point, I just can't remember exactly when or where. From there, he asked why Roosh had become such a fanatic and a hardliner, and lost his sense of humour. I pointed out that this is a direct consequence of Roosh's personality, which shows a strong tendency to go to extremes too easily, and that we shouldn't be too judgemental about him, because even someone like me would be considered "fundamentalist" by most normies.
Randale6 stated that he has a hard time believing in any religion or ideology precisely because of the hardliners, as he perceives Roosh to be. But it seemed to me that, given his lack of overt hostility to Christianity and Christ, he had a number of questions on the subjects of religion, faith, and Christianity, and I invited him to ask me anything he might like on these subjects.
Here is the list of questions that our friend wants answered (slightly edited for spelling and capitalisations, but otherwise exactly as sent to me):
- How does one reconcile Man's free will with God's omniscience?
- What is your thinking on the Masons/Deists and their various offshoots (most prominent being the Mormons)?
- Is Heaven any better than Hell? (To be honest with you, adoring God for all eternity kind of sounds like a mental Hell to me…)
- Why is the Bible so scant on descriptions of Heaven? (Islam by contrast tells you explicitly what your getting, sounds like one of the best afterlives I've ever heard of…at least if we go by the 72 houri version)
- What is the fate of those souls Christian missionaries never reached? (e.g the Native Americans pre-Columbus, the Chinese pre-Marco Polo would be another example)
- Why does Christianity cuck so readily? (Particularly when compared to its heretical child known as Islam, which for all its faults seems to understand that some behaviors should just not be tolerated.)
- Must a Christian truly forgive all sins against him or can he put to the sword those who have gravely wronged him, his family and his people? (e.g were the actions of someone like say Vlad the Impaler justified given the threats and trespasses of the Ottomans against him and his kingdom)
This is a very comprehensive and important set of questions, and I am very pleased to have an opportunity to answer them. I did my best to do so in a manner that is both informative and precise, but inevitably, since I'm only human, I'm sure I got a few things wrong. As such, I welcome my wiser and more informed Christian brothers to provide their comments and views on what I have said, in the chat.
Reading List Here are a few of the books and references that I discussed in the podcast, plus a few others that I think make for very useful additional reading:
- The Irrational Atheist by Vox Day
- The Unseen Realm by Dr. Michael Heiser
- The Syro-Aramaic Reading of the Koran by Christoph Luxenberg
- The Critical Quran by Dr. Robert Spencer
- Did Mohammed Exist? (Revised & Expanded Edition) by Dr. Robert Spencer
- Mohammed and Charlemagne Revisited by Emmet Scott
- The Impact of Islam by Emmet Scott

The Domain Query series is back with another interesting question from a reader, which I figured deserved a proper and thoughtful answer. This is probably my longest Domain Query episode yet, and I probably do get a bit carried away in my enthusiasm for the topic, but it is an important subject and an interesting one.
New reader Baltbuc sent me the following query via the email form on my site:
Hi Didact,
I found you linked up on the normalamerican news feed. You have a top notch website and Telegram channel. This is a good article that discusses the problems that Russia faces against the Fake and Gay™ onslaught from America. Russia must be the beacon in the East that holds form and resists. Countries like Hungary show promise but frankly aren't all that important geopolitically. What do you think is the Russian future?
Put simply, I believe that Russia has a very bright future ahead of it, thanks to its immense reserves of mineral wealth, and its increasingly clear near-total victory over the GloboHomoPaedo forces that have tried, for thirty years, to break the country and bring it to its knees. Those forces have failed, thanks to the hard work and efforts of the Neo-Tsar. The Russian yoot are, in view, the great hope for the future - they are turning HARD away from GloboHomoPaedo, and are rapidly rediscovering love for their Motherland and for the promise that it holds.
There are two significant problems that Russia must address. The first is its birth rate, which remains far too low to promote social growth and stability. The second is the proper distribution of its mineral wealth. Both problems are entirely solvable, though they are also interconnected and cannot be separated. I believe that the Russian people will figure them out over time, and I believe that Russia might just turn its demographics around fairly quickly if it acts in a sensible and well-thought-out fashion.
Be sure to check out Episode 100 of the main Didactic Mind podcast as well, in which I go into greater detail about the economic potential of Russia and how it will evolve over time.

Protect Yourself From Big Tech I make some pretty incendiary statements in this podcast, and in most of my podcasts. I can only do so because I take steps to protect myself from the Big Tech companies, and preserve my identity. You need to do the same – this is no longer optional, because if you don’t, the gatekeepers WILL come for your head.

The 100th episode of the podcast is finally here! I actually had the time to sit down and record this whole thing, and it is quite long, clocking in at close to 88 minutes. It took me a while to get around to making this episode, simply because I wanted to find an actual guest, but ended up being both too lazy AND too busy, with a variety of other things, to figure out whom I wanted to invite. I hope to be able to invite guests onto the podcast for later episodes, but we shall see how things go.
In the meantime, this very special 100th episode consists of looking back at how the Western powers managed to squander their opportunities so completely and thoroughly, how they managed to create such a colossal mess out of their economies, and where and how the Eurasian powers - Russia, China, and India - will be able to supplant them. I also examine the great weaknesses of these countries, which are real and substantial, and explore how they will prevent these great nations from reaching their full economic power and potential in the coming years.
Overall, I believe that we shall see a secular shift of power away from the over-indebted, over-extended, rapidly deteriorating Western economies, which have played out their usefulness and their power games, toward countries that produce real things using real inputs, not merely making money from money.

LRFotS Randale6 had an interesting and detailed set of questions for me about being a "stranger in a strange land", as it were, when looking at where to go, where to live, and how to adapt to a foreign culture after getting the hell out of the dying and degenerate Western world. There are several questions in this set, which I answered in order, more or less, and at length:
Better off an outsider in Asia then a White man in America? Looking at the way things are going I'm also going through the process of getting a degree, thankfully on a vastly decreased timetable owing to degree hacking (thank you degreeforum.net). The plan is simply to go teach English in Asia and either go through a cheap Master's in ESL to teach at the university level or found my own school/study room. As for what is making me leave rather then stay for the fight in the USA, I will be honest, I prefer to live life on easy street...and not having to play divorce roulette in the USA. It is easier to have a family when you live somewhere that actually gives a damn about the institution. Judging from your writings you have been an outsider for the majority of your life, what have your experiences as an outsider been like? Particularly within the context of East Asia and Southeast Asia?
So here's a podcast in which I answer all of these questions. With respect to the specific idea that I raised toward the end of this episode, here is one possible place to apply for teaching positions at an international school. I think that is one way to get the best of both local (South-)East Asian cultures and one's own roots. As always, like, comment, share, and subscribe.

A subscriber to my private (as in, not publicly visible or searchable) Telegram channel - join up if you haven't already, all the cool kids are there, to include my friend and fellow shitlord, Last Redoubt - had a very interesting comment to offer in response to my daily voice message updates. These are updates that I give the readers and subscribers (almost) every day, unless I'm in a particularly tired, lazy, or grumpy mood. (The latter happens even more often than one might think, actually.) In them, I offer up some thoughts about the latest developments in geopolitics and news, though at the present time, most of what I have to say concerns the Banderastan War.
Yesterday's voice message update started out talking about May 9th, which for the Russians is basically a sacred day of reflection and celebration of their victory in the Great Patriotic War. Here is what subscriber R T had to say on the subject:
History has a sense of irony. As someone born in a former communist country I remember celebrations of May 9 where Americans could not be mentioned although everybody knew they liberated western part of the country up to Pilsen and perhaps could reach Prague but were not allowed by political decision. Today western leftists are busy to cancel the Russians.
It is not to say we had no love for our Russian liberators. I remember my grandfather telling a story about him walking with Soviet soldier looking for Germans that were hiding in apartments. Once my grandpa, a young boy back then, opened door of an apartment and was welcomed by a bullet. Fortunately, the German guy missed and the Russian shot him dead. Only after the Communists came to power we started to hate Russians.
Another historical irony is, although more hated, fascism is probably better than communism. Right wing governments tend to rule their countries better and our historical experience is there were less casualties during Nazi period than during Bolshevik rule.
Last but not least, I consider likely the Suvorov's theory that the German operation Barbarossa in fact saved Europe from communism as Stalin was prepared to flood Europe with his own troops and the Germans caught him by surprise with their Drang nach Osten. It's not to diminish heroism of Russian people during the war just to point out that history is a little bit more complicated and Russian understanding of it stinks of propaganda, partly at least.
This is a very important set of points, and I agree strongly with all of them. I expand upon them in the latest entry into the Domain Query series, as given here.

Happy Easter, brothers! Christ our King is Risen indeed! This week's podcast concerns the nature of the Word, and how we should treat Easter as a time of renewal within our lives. I go over the ways in which the Scriptures can affect each and every one of us, and how going over them, and putting ourselves into the stories that they tell, can help them speak to us. Let the miracle of the resurrection of Jesus Christ renew and strengthen you in these dark times, for His story is universal, undying, and quite simply true.

I got an interesting query from LRFotS Randale6, asking about what kind of dictatorship we can expect in America. It's pretty obvious that the USSA is, indeed, headed straight toward dictatorship of some kind, but the precise kind is hard to figure out. Here's his question in full:
Periods of extreme leftism and subversion (at least in Europe) have previously heralded the rise of such figures as Hitler, Mussolini and Franco. Given that the USA is currently undergoing leftism far worse then anything Germany, Italy or Spain went through where exactly is our dictator and are we going to be unlucky and get a Hitler or lucky and get a Franco (or just be stuck with Mussolini, who to be fair wasn't initially an idiot).
I break this down by looking at the three phases of government - rule by one, rule by few, rule by many. I point out that there really isn't a parallel at any time in human history for what the USSA is doing to itself right now - we've never seen THIS level of decadence, corruption, evil, sleaze, and indebtedness before. I then point out that, based on the video evidence from that White House do from a few days back, where the Fake President wandered around like a doddering old grandpa that no one wanted to talk to, I reckon that Obarmy is going to be the next great power behind the throne.
In my view, the most likely scenario is that the Daemoncrats will take an absolute thumping in the midterms, and then use that as an excuse to jettison Fake President Greenscreen McNappyFace so that he can go do battle with Corn Pop in his retirement home while he drools into his oatmeal.
Obama's power base will then displace the Clinton Faction and install Cameltoad Harris as the next Fake President. Remember that Cameltoad has no power base of her own - EVERYONE hates her. So she will be completely subservient to Obarmy. And his narcissism and vanity will not permit any rivals for power.
His tyrannical rule will almost certainly be along the lines of a Hitler, Stalin, Mao, or Pol Pot - he is a globalist and a Pharisatanist to the core. And he absolutely will overreach. He will become the Left's version of Lincoln. Eventually, this will lead to the chaotic breakup of the USSA along familial and territorial lines, into at least two and as many as four countries, in an orgy of blood and fire that will make the Rwanda Genocide look tame by comparison.
That, of course, is nothing more than my view and my prediction. I would love to be wrong about ALL of this. But I suspect that at least some of it will be spot on - unfortunately.
This week's episode is about how the turmoil and madness that we see in the physical world, mirrors the Great War between Heaven and Hell. I discuss how the concerted, extremely over the top, push-back against nationalist leaders and peoples in Russia, China, and now Hungary and Serbia, is a straightforward manifestation of spiritual evil that dates back to BEFORE the Flood (no, not the HALO kind, the Book of Genesis kind). Looking back at history, Scripture, and Biblical exegesis courtesy of Dr. Michael Heiser, I explain the manner in which the powers and principalities of Hell manifest themselves into our world and influence us. I close with a call to prayer and spiritual arms, to fortify ourselves to fight for the truth, which operates like a relentless, unstoppable battering ram against evil that confronts us.

In this latest episode of the podcast, I analyse the current geopolitical situation by starting with the Russian strategy in the special military operation (or invasion - take your pick) in Ukraine. I talk about the misconceptions and outright lies told by Western analysts and presstitutes about the war and the way it is going, and point out that the way the Russians are fighting is fundamentally and completely different from what the West expects, because the Russians think and act very differently about war than the West does. I then zoom out and look at the broader macroeconomic and political picture, and note that the Russians, Chinese, Indians, and Saudis have now effected an economic and political encirclement of the Western world. Sanctions against Russia have failed, catastrophically and almost completely. China now knows what it needs to do in order to break the Western hegemony. The petrodollar is in danger of outright collapse. And all of this leads to a complete reshaping of the world order in the next few years. It's going to be a wild and bumpy ride, so buckle up, lads.

In this latest episode of the Didactic Mind podcast, I talk about the current strategic situation in Ukraine, to the best of my knowledge, and point out that, regardless of the Western propaganda and nonsense on the subject, Ukraine is DOOMED to lose this war. I predict that we will see the partitioning of Ukraine, which would be a tragedy of epic proportions for all concerned, but probably a necessary measure. I then look at the wider geostrategic picture and point out that we are looking at the epic collapse of American economic and political hegemony, within our lifetimes, as countries shift away from the petrodollar and sanctions continue to backfire spectacularly in the faces of the Western nations. I note that the drive to rebuild Germany's military, and NATO's in general, is doomed to fail, because military rebuilding takes about ten years or more, these days. And I make special note of the fact that desperate regimes resort to desperate measures, which is why I suspect that a false-flag bioweapon attack, instigated by the American Deep State, is not only possible, it is actually far more likely than anyone wants to admit.
I close with an exhortation to all of us to understand who and what we are, starting with God, continuing with family, and concluding with community, and to be willing to dig our boots into the soil of the land we love, and bleed and die for it if necessary - because only then will we win the war against the globalists.

This week's podcast concerns the lies that we have been told about the war in Ukraine. I examine the roots of the war, unpack some of the lies being told in the course of fighting it, and point out where this endless stream of nonsense and bullshit is taking us - and it is nowhere good. In the course of all of this, I hope you will get some new perspectives on Russian history and thinking, and about the extraordinarily dangerous times that we find ourselves trapped in, simply because of the sheer stupidity and venality of the liars who lead the Western world. Those who think that Putin is the Hitlerest Hitler who ever Hitlered across the Ukrainian Goose-Steppe, are likely to find the last bit of the podcast particularly illuminating. Be warned, I do NOT hold back in this one, especially when it comes to my opinions about whorenalists and what should be done with them. Not one for the faint-hearted, this one.

This week's podcast is even more... ranty than usual, mostly because it concerns the horrible war in Ukraine. As those who read my work will know quite well, I am firmly on Russia's side in all of this, but I hope and pray for this war to end quickly, with minimal bloodshed and loss of life on both sides. I never wanted to see Russians and Ukrainians taking up arms against each other, and I pray God that He will let this end quickly. A great heaviness has settled upon me over the past few days as I watch these awful events unfold, but the rage that I feel at the misinformation from the whorenalists and presstitutes is much greater. Given all of the lies that they have spread thus far, I feel it is incumbent upon me to try to correct some of that misinformation, wherever I can. This is my attempt, however feeble, and with probably outdated information by the time you hear this, to do precisely that. You might want to lower the volume in a few places, I do get QUITE exercised, especially where the presstitutes are concerned.
Background * Full text of the Neo-Tsar's speech, translated into English, announcing the special operation (read: DECLARATION OF WAR); * Here's video of his actual speech - watch it all the way through, he is a master at weaving history, politics, and economics into a single coherent narrative, and I've never seen him as angry, yet controlled, as he is here; * An explanation of the Euromaidan Revolution and its quite catastrophic results; * Understanding the "Putin Doctrine", which is basically Russia's version of the Monroe Doctrine, but with much bigger teeth; * Some very useful background on the Ukronazi "paramilitary groups", such as the Azov Battalion (or Brigade, depending on whom you ask), who are literal White supremacist ultranationalist loonies intent on slaughtering anyone who doesn't agree with them; * More of the same, from a more Russian perspective;

This week's podcast is all about how you can add value to people's lives, and finding those people who bring value to yours. I break it down into 7 basic principles, as enumerated in the podcast itself, and take you on a journey to achieving your own telos, or potential, as I wrote about in a post from some years back.
Those steps are, essentially:
- Understand that time = value;
- STFU about yourself and stop wasting the valuable time of others;
- Learn how to add value back to people;
- Build deep connections according to your strengths as an introvert;
- Figure out how to find people - women and friends - who add value to your life;
- Seek out and uncover your Sacred Purpose, and thereby find your telos;
- Charge what you're worth;
It's that simple - and that hard.
Shout-out to LRFotS Pat Himself/TechieDude, who - being a card-carrying member of Ye Grumpye Olde Phartes Clubbe, like yours truly - expressed his annoyance at the fact that I took so damn long with the previous episode. Sorry, mate, hopefully there won't be too many such delays in future.

Protect Yourself From Big Tech I make some pretty incendiary statements in this podcast, and in most of my podcasts. I can only do so because I take steps to protect myself from the Big Tech companies, and preserve my identity.

The podcast is back, finally! This episode is all about the modren state of the medical industry, and consists of an examination of the career of Anthony Fraudci, one of the greatest servants of evil that we have ever seen, and his complicity in some of the biggest medical scandals and cover-ups of our time. I talk about the excellent new book, The Real Anthony Fauci by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and I discuss the flawed nature of the medical system and the ways in which it leads to terrible outcomes for patients. I close with an exhortation and a warning to all of you - DO NOT TRUST YOUR DOCTORS. Always get a second, and these days, a third opinion if necessary. Ultimately, we are all responsible for our own health, and the Western medical system is clearly in severe need of a major overhaul if we are to recognise this fact and take accountability for and ownership of our own lives.

We're back with a new podcast, this time answering an interesting query from LRFotS Robert W. He asked me for my thoughts about inter-cultural communications, based on a particular book, in light of my 2021 reading list:
RE Five Love Languages By Gary Chapman: My wife and I read this as part of a group study within the first two years of our marriage. It was a useful read but seems like it was a 24-page brochure puffed up to a 120-page book. The core concept of people experiencing incoming love in different ways and express outgoing love in different ways has a broad application beyond romance. In any type of customer-facing context, it’s good to pick up on how people respond. Just listening to the problems (quality time) or taking charge immediately (acts of service) or just a replacement latte (gifts) or a statement of appreciation for bringing it up (words of affirmation) all come into play. Chapman (author) has made a real cash cow out of this whole thing though, there’s a half dozen different variations on this book that are all, years after release, still in the top sellers of relationships book. It makes me think people are looking for quick and easy fixes for handling people, and this promises quick and easy without having to do any work on one’s own self, at most just changes in how to respond to other people.
I would find your perspective on it interesting, in particular on how applicable (or not) it is in cross-cultural (eg USA/India) dynamics.
The book itself is called The Five Love Languages by Gary Chapman, and it is in fact pretty good, if somewhat puffed-up and overlong, given the subject matter.
I endeavour to answer his question by first providing an overview of the 5 languages themselves:
- Words of affirmation
- Acts of service
- Quality time
- Gifts
- Physical touch
(I almost surely referred to them out of order, but never mind that.)
Based on that, I then provide some cultural context for the cultures with which I am most familiar, and explain how differences in the ways in which we receive, and express, affection and respect, then create gaps in communications between different cultures.
The astute listener will note that I spend a lot of time talking about Russian culture. This is not accidental, since I know a lot more about it than the average Westerner (who knows basically nothing). If you know any Russians, run through what I say with them, and see if they agree - I'll be interested to know your thoughts.
As always, let me know your thoughts in the comments, and don't forget to like, share, and subscribe.

HAPPY NEW YEAR, everyone!!! May Our Lord's blessings and peace be upon you in 2022, in the name of Christ Jesus! Let us look forward to the new year in hope, faith, and love, as we strive always to give glory to the Almighty. Here is the New Year's podcast, as always, and today is a special day indeed, for it also happens to mark the 9th birthday of the Didact persona. (Well, my version of the Didact, obviously - the HALO character had been around for a little bit longer than that.)
As always, I will start off the year by giving an update on traffic, and I expand on these points in the podcast itself:
- Total pageviews of about 270K when adding up both the old Didact's Reach Blogger site and the current shared-hosting WordPress platform;
- A total of 37,402 unique readers from all over the world;
- Readers posted a total of 825 comments on 332 posts in 2021, and posts averaged about 1,750 words in length;
The geographical distribution of my readers is also something to behold - check this out:
As you can see, the site and podcast reach quite a wide range of people from around the world, which is genuinely fascinating, and quite inspirational.
Furthermore, as I state repeatedly in the podcast, I do all of this for myself, and no one else - but it is YOU, the reader and the listener, that makes it worthwhile. I have been really amazed and humbled by the feedback that I have received from many of you in the past year, and have taken great comfort and inspiration from the fact that I was able to provide guidance, strength, and hope to some of you going through really harsh times.
I am extremely grateful to all of you who read, comment on, subscribe to, and share my work. You guys have kept me going for 9 YEARS and running now. I look forward to raising a glass of good whiskey to you all, this time next year, as I celebrate the 10th anniversary of this work.
This podcast covers all of the above, and also talks about three major megatrends that I see emerging in 2022:
- The collapse of Islam and the dangers present therein;
- The increasingly obvious moral vacuum of atheism and the rise of explicitly Christian nations;
- The destruction of trust between people and their governments, which will likely lead to catastrophe later this year;
I anticipate that I will be spending a lot of my time in 2022 discussing and expanding upon these topics, for the stress fractures in our societies are becoming more obvious by the day. Some of them will widen to the point where the fissures will swallow whole entire sectors of society, and we need to prepare ourselves for that eventuality.
So prepare yourselves, brothers, for the coming year is going to be one of reckoning and action.

Merry Christmas, everyone! May the Lord's peace and blessings be upon you and your family. The Didactic Mind podcast returns for Christmas with reflections upon what the day means, and why it is so important. I talk about the reasons why this day matters, how its significance translates into our everyday lives, and where the Christmas tradition of gift-giving comes from. I also talk about how things have changed, particularly in terms of trust in institutions, since the time of Christ, and how His life and times serve as both a template and a warning for our own. I finish off by discussing the great Arian Heresy, and how St. Nicholas straight-up JAP-SLAPPED A HERETIC in the face at the Council of Nicaea, and why this matters for our present day.

Here's the second of the day's Domain Query series, based on a very interesting long comment from LRFotS Kapios on my post about resilience:
It gets worse before things get better. Knowing that intellectually and feeling it to every last bone in your body is a big difference as I’ve realized.
There is one subject that I would like to see you tackle in a post sometime in the future, and that is overcoming the fear of death. Not the YOLO I’m taking cocaine and partying kind, but the one that you hear about warriors in the past who had a lot to lose, their lands, properties, families, etc. and yet they were still able to fight as if they were not attached t those things.
How do people do that? I have been thinking about this a lot with the recent trend of mandatory vaccinations.
Someone who had lived in a monastery for more than a decade told me this about a week ago: ‘The threat to lock me up and starve me to death if I don’t put the vaccine will not change my mind. I would rather die of starvation if it comes to that, because it’s my choice’.
My country has not introduced mandatory vaccination like Austria (probably because they are waiting to see what happens with other countries), but I believe the person who told me that. He is not perfect, but he and a few other people who live there have been threatened and harassed by the police, unjustly criticized by others in the past and yet, they haven’t changed their conviction.
I answer this question from the straightforward point of view of a Christian (an extremely bad one, mind you), and why Christians might fear dying - I certainly do - but not death itself. I unpack an answer rooted in Scripture, starting with Matthew 10, and drawing on references within the texts, and come to the conclusion that the way to avoid this problem of fear of death is to find something bigger than yourself, which you believe in and love enough to give your life to protect. That is the way out of this dilemma.
The Domain Query series is finally back with a new episode - two of them in one day, actually - with a very involved and interesting question from LRFotS Randale6, which I quote in full below:
A request for one of your next episodes, I suppose you could call it "hope for a hailmary woman or just grind on". I was walking in the park one day and noticed something, all the couples walking the paths had muscular men...and half the women were fat, another quarter overweight and only the remaining quarter was thin.
Simply put, even if I achieve the body of Adonis all I'm going to get is a fat, worthless whore. This makes me wonder, is it a better idea to simply grind onto an early retirement via stock market investment (Nikolai Vladivostok's The Poor Man's guide to building wealth is my bible for this)?
I know that in latin america a gringo with even just 1 million (equating to 40k at a 4% withdrawal rate per year) would be living at the minimum a middle class lifestyle if not a fully upper middle class one. I would live well...and courtesy of latin america's poor social safety net for women I would have a fairly wide selection of mujeres.
If I go that route though...how do I keep myself functioning in the meantime? I have to live long enough to enjoy the benefits of early retirement after all. What do I do to keep my body from aging into a broken, dottering corpse? Your advice would be greatly appreciated. In this podcast, I go over the following points:
- Red Pill 101 conditional logic that dictates which option to take - women now, versus money now (oh yeah, I finally remembered the name of the Pacino character from Scarface - TONY MONTANA);
- What to do about the scarcity of attractive women in one's area, and where to go to get past the issue;
- Why the "poon/payola" dichotomy is actually a false, and indeed dangerous, one from a Christian perspective;
- How to avoid boredom and dissipation as a man in a foreign country;
- Potential dangers and issues with moving overseas, and emphasis on fitting in and acculturating;
On a related note, the Limitless Living course will, at some point, be spruced-up, re-branded, and re-released - at a MUCH lower price than it was initially. By that point, there should be enough people interested in getting out of Western hellholes to generate some actual sales, which would be nice.
The Didactic Mind podcast is back, finally, with a new episode dedicated entirely to the Coof. Yes, I know, it's kind of old hat at this point, but the emergence of the new so-called "Omicron Strain" has stretched the credibility and gullibility of the Sheeple to, and in many cases well beyond, the breaking point. The result has been protesting and anger on a massive scale across Europe, and that is glorious to see. In this week's podcast, I unpack the supposed "African" origins of the virus, ask whether a coronavirus is even responsible in the first place for the Coof, discuss the uselessness and danger of the vaccines, point out the utter ineptitude of the RT-PCR test regime, and finish with a serious broadside directed at the entire medical establishment. This is one of those righteous venom-spitting episodes that you won't want to miss.

This week's podcast is undoubtedly going to be a tad... controversial, because I go over a very wide range of subjects, ranging from Catholic doctrine and how some of it doesn't make sense, to recent events, to eschatology and the End Times, and finally the corrupted nature of the Word-Faith and NAR movements. I start by talking about the Catholic doctrines of Purgatory and the immaculate conception of the Virgin Mary, wherein she is presumed to be sinless herself. I then talk about what it means to be part of the Church Militant, and why it is such a difficult burden. Moving on to the Great Enemy's strategy, I talk about what Jesus's resurrection meant in terms of significance to Satan, and reference Dr. Michael Heiser's videos unpacking Satan's temptations of Christ. After looking at the strategies involved on both sides, I provide some tips and hints on how to endure the Long War, and how to take heart and hope from the little victories that we win - such as with the NOT GUILTY verdict rendered upon The Hero Kyle Rittenhouse.

This week's podcast is all about strategic thinking and design, and is inspired by the life, work, and thought of Col. John Boyd - "40-second Boyd", the fighter pilot without a single kill to his name, who single-handedly revolutionised the art of war and changed the way that we think about warfighting. Col. Boyd used to have a standing bet with the other pilots around him - they could start on his tail in a perfect kill position, and if he did not have the tables turned on them in 40 seconds or less, he would pay them $40 on the spot.
Col. Boyd never, ever lost that bet - not once. The closest that ANYONE ever came to cashing in on that bet was a young Marine pilot, who taxed Boyd to the very edge of his immense talents. But Boyd ultimately won - and that Marine spread Boyd's gospel throughout the Corps.
Today, Boyd's work is largely forgotten, and his immense contributions to the field of warfare are dishonoured and disregarded. But the core lessons behind his work dictate everything that we see around us in both war and business - and the lessons apply in life far beyond these things as well.
This week's podcast tries to tie all of that together, to help you understand how design and strategy are inseparable, and how to leverage this insight for your own benefit. I talk about why absurdly expensive and stupid weapons systems like the F-35 "Turducken Plane" are so utterly stupid and so badly designed, and why they consistently fail at their stated purposes. And I close by discussing how to apply this philosophy of design to your life as an individual.

Hammond - slightly more cerebral and academic, but a brilliant contribution to understanding Boyd's way of thinking and impact upon strategy * Boyd: The Fighter Pilot Who Changed the Art of War by Robert Coram - superb biography of John Boyd * On War (Vom Kriege) by Karl von Clausewitz - probably the second most important text on military strategy ever written * The Art of War by Sun Tzu - probably the most important text on military strategy ever written

This week's episode of Didactic Mind is all about embracing the conflict that we find ourselves embroiled in - physically, mentally, and most importantly, spiritually. I talk about the world we are living in right now, built on lies as it is, and I walk you through the best ways to fight against it. This one is not for those who need fainting couches every time they hear something that they disagree with, so put on your big-boy (or big-girl, in the extremely unlikely event that you are a woman listening to my hour-long rants) pants, because if you haven't chosen a side yet, you WILL be required to do so in very short order. And it is far better to choose the winning side of your own free will, than to be forced to play for the losing side.
Welcome to the war. Let's get started.

At long last, the Didactic Mind podcast returns! This week is all about the parallels between Ayn Rand's (in)famous magnum opus, Atlas Shrugged, and the daily realities of life under governments that hate us and want to see us persecuted and destroyed. I talk about "Going Galt" in terms of the way that Rand herself looked at the idea, and in terms of how it can be done in a proper Christian context. My conclusion here is that simply walking away from it all is not a solution, at all, and is certainly not in line with what we are called to do as Christians. Instead, I offer alternatives and solutions to help you get away from governments that clearly want you ground down, and which lie to you on a daily basis, just like the government bureaucrats in the novel do.

This week's podcast about the current mess we find ourselves in with respect to governments around the world arrogating to themselves powers that they were never supposed to have in the first place. I look at the core reasons as to why this is happening, and I provide you with some ideas about how to fight back, in a wide-ranging discussion that covers a number of different topics. I specifically spend a lot of time looking at Romans 1, which explains rather well exactly where and how this long series of disasters has come from.

The Didactic Mind podcast is finally BACK - after a 3-week or so delay, much to my regret, due to various (quite pleasant, actually) circumstances in my personal and professional life. The elapsed time has, however, proven fruitful, because a number of crazy things have happened in the past few weeks that provide us with PLENTY of material for discussion.
In this week's podcast, I talk about:
- What the Fall of Kabul and the catastrophe in Afghanistan mean for the American Empire;
- Why the USA is now essentially an empire at odds with a nation, with a Jewish-dominated ruling class that does not represent the core interests of the people of the nation;
- How the Scamdemic and fake Coof Crisis may well have been manufactured to cover up a massive economic collapse;
- Roughly how the American economic collapse might occur;
- What the future holds as the world splinters into different factions;
- Where Russia's and China's different interests lie;
... and much more.

The Didactic Mind podcast is back to something approaching a sort-of-regular schedule again, and this week's episode is all about the sudden and quite dramatic collapse of America's failed Syracuse Expedition in Afghanistan. I talk about the roots of its failure, the lessons to be learned (which of course the American military will utterly fail to heed), the folly and stupidity and arrogance of Wilsonian interventionism, and the likely consequences for the Pax Americana. This episode is a bit shorter than usual, due to time constraints on my part, but hopefully by next week we will be back up to a full-length episode.

The Didactic Mind podcast is BACK!!! And for this week's episode - the first in 2 months - I have a highly relevant series of topics lined up to discuss, including:
- What it is like to have the Coof, or something like it;
- How to confront the lies of this world;
- The core attribute that sets Christianity apart from all other religions, which are based on works and not faith;
- What the Scripture actually means when it says that our righteous deeds are as "unclean garments" to the Lord;
Most importantly and critically, I tell you the precise truth, the reality, that you must confront in order to deal with the soul-crushing heaviness that we all feel as Christians. Be warned, I go full-on fire-and-brimstone here with respect to obeying the lies of the world and valuing the world over the Word, so you might want to adjust your volume during those bits.
The key takeaway from all of this is:
Shut up, quit whining, and get in the fight.

In this week's podcast, I talk a bit more about the hive-mind nature of evil, the ways in which evil seeks to control us, and the manner in which the work of Dr. Michael Heiser can help us to explain and understand the motive force behind the madness we see in the world today. I talk about why the plans of the Luciferians continually fall apart, and how you can do your part to ensure that those plans continue to fail.

This week's podcast is quite a bit longer than usual, because it goes DEEP into the subject of historical criticism of Islam. I unpack much of the latest evidence that we have about the very obscure origins of Islam. Following the data and evidence that Dr. Jay Smith from Pfander Films has collected, I unpack the issue of Islam's origins through 5 specific polemical lines of attack - as he calls them, the 5 Qs:
- The Qiblas;
- The Qira'ats;
- The Qur'an;
- The Coins;
- The Quest for Muhammad;
There is a HUGE amount to explore here, and I've barely scratched the surface. For the full details, check out the previous podcasts, readings, and links down below.

We're back this week with a new episode of Didactic Mind, after a week off. Today I discuss the ways in which questioning the standard "Narrative" will get you labelled as a heretic, and why that is no bad thing. I talk about how many of the narratives that we take for granted are, in fact, absolute lies, and I discuss ways in which you can unpack those lies and get to the truth.

Today I wax philosophical again about the nature of our tests and the reasons why we are tested to, and often beyond, our breaking points. I go through Biblical prophets from the Old Testament and examine how they were tested and broken, in order to do what God needed them to do. (I didn't have time to get to the Big Cheese Himself - probably should have arranged things a bit better there.) I weave in a bunch of Greek mythology about the forge-god Hephaestus (or Vulcan, for brevity's sake), and explain the process of forging that God uses to turn men into weapons. And I conclude with some brotherly advice and some exhortations for the men among us to do what is necessary in order to short-circuit that process of pain and suffering.

This week's episode is all about game theory and its profound and powerful application to politics. I use the lens of game-theoretic understanding to provide insights into why the Right keeps losing against the Left. As I point out in the podcast, the reason is basically because we of the Right refuse to act in accordance with optimal and sensible strategies for beating the Left and maximising our own gains. Cuckservatives do so consistently and constantly because they are terrified of being called "-ists" and "-phobes" of any kind. This leads them to act in ways that consistently favour the Left. Once you understand these patterns of behaviour, and you know what to look for, you can find ways of overwhelming the Left's formidable intelligence, cunning, and fighting skill through stratagems and methods designed specifically to wipe out their defences.
Learn and understand some basic game theory, and you will prosper significantly.

In this week's episode, I talk about the strange and terrible power of real, material, physical evil, and its lasting effect on all of us. I explain why it has such power and how its power persists for so long - and why and how it fails, each and every time. And I examine the ways in which we can all stand up against evil. This is probably one of my more unusual podcasts, in that I pull in references from all over the shop - Stranger Things, books, movies, history, and so on. But I had a lot of fun talking through it, and I hope you enjoy it as well.

A very happy and peaceful Easter to you all, my brothers and sisters in Christ. This week's podcast is all about tying the veracity and historicity of the New Testament together with the Old, to show us how we can be confident that Jesus Christ our Lord was indeed who He said He was. I look at the historical narratives given in the Book of Acts, the Gospel of Luke, the Gospel of John, and other parts of the New Testament, and tie them back to the narratives of Exodus and Genesis. I make particular reference to a film that I cannot recommend highly enough. And I conclude by offering some advice to those struggling with that very last, and scariest, step into the Christian faith.

This week's episode, on Palm Sunday, is all about pointing oneself toward the three things that ultimately lead to a happier, simpler, and fulfilled life. In other words, this is all about refusing to bend the knee before the lies of this world, and instead look at the truths that go far beyond it. In the process, I talk about some of the greatest lies that have afflicted us, such as the literally Satanic evil of Communism, and the great lies that sustained that evil ideology. And I talk about how you can begin to untangle yourself from the lies of a broken and Fallen world, and instead look to the world as it was meant to be - not as humans imagine it, but as the Divine sees it.

I received a very interesting question from reader Sean, which went as follows:
I'm a new reader on your blog. I'm interested in your views on Christianity, religion, faith, and atheism as I'm currently mired in sorting those things out for myself. It seems from old posts (ca. 2013) you had at least rejected atheism, recognized a Higher Power, and held to a certain faith. In more recent posts, it seems your faith has evolved over the years. I'd be interested to hear you describe how your thinking has changed over the years or what it is now. Maybe you could point me to particular posts that lay out your thoughts?
That's exactly the kind of question that I enjoy answering. So I took a shot at it. In hindsight, I probably should have split this into two pieces, as "only" the first 20min or thereabouts talks about my experience. The second half of the podcast concerns arguments and apologetics designed to point atheists and non-believers toward the truth.
I've also included a bunch of references to help Sean and others like him walk the road that I had to - though hopefully with a bit more clarity and a lot less meandering than I did.

This week's podcast is all about r/K selection theory and its ramifications for politics, social trust, and national development. I provide a brief overview of the theory, explain its application to politics through the lens of Anonymous Conservative's superb book, and provide an analysis of the current crises wracking the Western and Asian worlds through the heuristic application of the theory.

This week's episode is all about things that we wish were not true, but are. I examine the basic realities of irreducible differences between and among groups. I also talk about some of the historical inaccuracies that we have had to deal with for decades, such as who was really responsible for enslaving millions of people, and why the conquistadores really behaved so horribly in Mesoamerica. And I close with the biggest inconvenient truth of them all - that Jesus is Lord, and that He really did die for our sins.

I am finally back with another episode in the Domain Query series. This one addresses an interesting question from LRFotS Randale6, who asks:
Could you do a podcast (or perhaps two, one for each form) on verbal and written rhetoric. While there are many books (often freely available as PDFs) I got the sneaky suspicion that it will take more then reading them to turn theory into (effective) practice. I'm happy to oblige with any insights that I can provide. In this podcast, I illustrate five (more or less) principles of highly effective rhetoric, that apply in both verbal and written form:
- The most effective rhetoric is always couched in truth.
- Brevity is the heart of good rhetoric.
- Highly effective rhetoric always attacks what a person does not want to be identified with, OR paints him as something that he is not to begin with.
- Good rhetoric must always respect and be tailored toward the hierarchy in which someone operates.
- Always respond to rhetoric with rhetoric.
That should keep our friend busy for a while. Let me know if you guys would like any follow-ups on this subject, as it is quite a broad and fascinating one.

This week's episode is all about the F-35 Joint Strike Flopter and the epic debacle that it represents. Well, that's only partly true - it is actually all about the legendary USAF Col. John Boyd, the man behind the Fighter Mafia and the force of nature who transformed the very Art of War in the modern age. In today's podcast, I talk about:
- The longevity of stupid and terrible ideas;
- The idiocies of managerial types who come up with cockamamie "solutions" to problems that they then prolong;
- The need for simplicity and effectiveness in weapons design;
- Why the US military never learns from its mistakes;
- Why the USA will lose its next real shooting war against a serious opponent;
- The true principles of effective fighter design;
- The reasons why the F-35 would never have worked anyway;
... and much, much, MUCH more.
Here is the article that inspired this week's podcast from David Axe over at Forbes, and here is a follow-up article at RT about the same issue that laments the sheer waste and ineptitude involved in spending $1.7 TRILLION on an aircraft that "can't climb, can't turn, can't run".
The Turducken Plane has indeed lived up to its name, and we will all pay the price for American military stupidity as a result.

In this week's episode, I explore the fallout from Gina Carano's cancellation by the Twatter mob and Disney, and offer up some thoughts about lessons that we can all learn from the process. I tell you how you can learn to stand firm in the face of madness, and how you can even profit off of the corporate greed and stupidity that drove the decision to fire Ms Carano in the first place. And I explain the importance of keeping your composure, building your own platforms, and seeking out your freedom, in order to minimise the damage that the Blue Checkmark Brigade can do to you in the process.

This week's episode concerns every man's LEAST favourite fake holiday - Valentine's Day. I go over some current events and news, then segue into the times that we live in and the ways in which men and women have failed to live up to our assigned roles in life. I talk about some causes and symptoms, and offer whatever concrete solutions that I can to the young men of today who are utterly confused as to how to deal with the modren world.
Bottom line is, if you want to know how to get yourself a girlfriend or a wife that actually likes and respects you, this is a decent, though not complete, place to start.

This week's episode is all about robots! Specifically, it is about how artificial pleasure robots - or sex robots, if you prefer - will affect human demographics, culture, and development. The podcast was inspired by one of the latest books from the vividly imaginative writer, Gary L. M. Martin, whose work I have favourably reviewed in the past. I go over a number of different topics that are of interest and related to the main subject, including:
- What sex robots will do to male-female power dynamics;
- How they will catastrophically impact human demographics;
- The appeal of such artificial pleasures to humans who want perfection but have to deal with imperfection;
... and much, much more.

In this week's episode, I discuss four ideas that will help us as men to find the will and the strength to move through life even as we face strife and challenges. Those four ideas are:
- The will to act - simply put, the willingness and the ability to take action even when we are afraid of the outcomes;
- Understanding the difference between risk and uncertainty - the two concepts are NOT the same and one must understand clearly the difference between the two in order to prosper under certain regimes;
- Taking Extreme Ownership of yourself and your actions - don't ever hide or cower behind anyone or anything to avoid responsibility for your actions, but own them and their consequences;
- Iron Sharpens Iron - seek out and treasure those men who will tell you, without fear or favour, exactly when and where you are screwing up, and never ever disregard or discount their advice, for they can be trusted while others cannot;
Follow the steps outlined in this podcast, and you will quickly find that your idleness and laziness will disappear. They will be replaced by achievement and momentum, which is what you need in order to get anything done in this world that hates you.

In this week's podcast, I talk about the current, parlous, state of affairs in American politics. The installation of the Fake President and the San FranciscHo has created a moral vacuum and a severely destabilising political crisis. This is the classic symptom of a late-stage empire accelerating toward its final and terrible collapse. I talk about the reasons why are observing the complete disintegration of trust and faith in American elites, and the ways in which the collapse will come about. I also discuss a few other topics in the process, such as the ways in which American foreign policy have come back to haunt it, the fact that the American military is a complete paper tiger, and the reality that Russia is far better positioned to deal with future political and economic challenges than America is.
Oh, and I let fly at the never-to-be-sufficiently-cursed whorenalists and presstitutes too, along with the Daemoncrats and Republicucks. After all, I believe in offending everyone in equal measure.

In this week's podcast, I discuss the financialisation of markets and the extremely detrimental effects that this has had upon the real, productive economy. I go over some of the academic reasons offered up for the "crowding out" of the productive sectors of the economy by the financial sector, and the dangers that this poses based on historical evidence. Then I discuss the reason why we see this happening through the lens of Austrian Business Cycle Theory and show how central banks have lowered interest rates to the point where it actually makes complete sense for companies to jack up their share prices artificially. Finally, I talk about the ways in which this madness will end - i.e. very, very badly.

We're back with another Domain Query podcast. Longtime reader and FotS JohnC911 emailed me earlier to ask the following:
I finished reading the book you recommended, Lost to the West by Lars Brownworth. Amazing reading more on the Byzantine Empire, especially the different leaders that ruled over Constantinople. The number of times that the empire should have fallen and yet continue survive and sometimes prosper [is amazing]. By the way I did have one question on it. What do you think might have happened if [the siege of] Constantinople in 1453 by the Turks had failed? We know about what happened after the fall of Constantinople with the Ottoman Empire taking over. Also before the attack Constantine XI supported John VIII's position of Decree of Union, joining the Orthodox and Catholic churches. During the siege there was also the last service with both Greek priest and Latin ones standing shoulder to shoulder. With the emperor turning to the Italian who were fighting with them, assuring them that they were now brothers, united by a common bond.
As I say in this podcast, I actually don't recall recommending the book, and I definitely haven't read it. That said, I tackled the question as best as I could by looking at the history of the Byzantine Empire and concluded that: a) The fall of the Byzantine Empire was pretty much inevitable; b) If the siege of Constantinople had failed, the Ottoman Empire would have gone into immediate terminal decline; c) I honestly don't know if that would have significantly changed the course of history given the power dynamics in Eastern Europe at the time; Book References * Lost to the West: The Forgotten Byzantine Empire that Rescued Western Civilisation by Lars Brownworth; * BELIEVE!

This week's episode covers a wide-ranging number of topics about science and the misguided faith that we put into scientists themselves. I start off by talking briefly about the Storming of the Hill, move on to Big Tech censorship and the ways in which you can avoid its impacts, and then get on to talking about what science really is. I discuss how the scientific method works, why it is limited in terms of its ability to explain the world, and why it is so dangerous to put blind faith and trust in scientists themselves. Links to all of the references that I provide - and there are a LOT - are given below.

- Darwin's Doubt: The Explosive Origin of Animal Life and the Case for Intelligent Design by Dr. Stephen Meyer;
- The Origin of the Species by Charles Darwin;
Other books that you will probably find useful in this discussion:
- The God Delusion by Prof. Richard Dawkins - it's actually quite a terrible book, with dreadful arguments and appallingly bad analogies, but it's worth reading if you want to get an idea of how Darwinian materialists "think";
- The Science Delusion: Freeing the Spirit of Enquiry by Dr. Rupert Sheldrake - this is a direct answer to and refutation of the most egregiously foolish arguments made by the New Atheists, such as Dawkins;

- The Irrational Atheist: Dissecting the Unholy Trinity of Dawkins, Harris, and Hitchens by Our Beloved and Dreaded Supreme Dark Lord (PBUH) Vox Day;
- Mere Christianity by Clive Staples Lewis - this one is a bit dense, yet very readable nonetheless, and makes clear that there is NO conflict whatsoever between the Christian worldview and the scientific one;
Videos referenced in this podcast:
- The original lecture by Prof. Richard Feynman concerning the scientific method;
- The superb lecture that Dr. James Tour gave at the Discovery Institute about the problems with the materialist views of the origin of life question;

Happy New Year to all. Since it's only a couple of days to Sunday, I figured I would make a podcast today instead of Sunday, similar to the way I did things on Christmas. And today's podcast is all about the need to "tumble and turn" through the darkness of the past year and toward the light.
That phrase, "tumble and turn", was coined by a true Dark Knight, Ivan Throne, whose book, The Nine Laws, is in my opinion essential reading for all men who seek to harness ruthless Purpose and achieve great things in life. It applies perfectly as we go through 2021. In this podcast, I explain:
- How 2020 was the crucible in which lies were burned away;
- Why the Year from Hell was actually a huge gift in a number of areas, and pointed us toward the Truths of our time;
- What YOU can do, starting today, to make the most of this year;
As I stated to my email subscribers - if you have not subscribed to my mailing list already, do so right here - this is how you can get on with your True Purpose this year:
- Create a plan. A goal without a plan is nothing more than a wish. This is useless. You might as well resolve to create a business based on selling fairy dust and unicorn farts. If you want to achieve something, PLAN IT OUT. Setup specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and time-bound (SMART - yes, that's a bizblab acronym, but it works here) goals and set aside time every week to work on them.
- Point yourself unerringly at the truth. You won't get it from the never-to-be-sufficiently-cursed whorenalists and presstittutes of the mainstream (((media))), obviously. But if you look for alternative views where you can find them, you will find the information you search for. By necessity, you will have to filter through lots of nonsense. But, think of it this way: you used to rely on the (((media))) to tell you the truth. Now you have to use your own brain. Which do you suppose is healthier for you?
- Do not bother with the opinions of those who seek to demoralise you. I got into a huge row with a member of my own family just before the New Year over certain inconvenient and unpleasant "alternative facts" that I spread about General Tso's Chicken Pox. I know why it happened. My bias is toward hope and action. That person's bias is toward fear and lassitude. Your bias informs your worldview. Acknowledge your bias. Respect the right of others to hold a different point of view - but don't EVER let that view get in your way.
- Seek out allies wherever possible. If you had told me 8 years ago that I would still be writing and blogging in 2021, and that my writing would reach thousands of people around the world, I would have laughed at you. But I found allies in my journey toward the truth. Some are good friends now. Look for help and you will often find it in the most unexpected of places.
- Pray often and hard for help. Again, remember that you were not given a spirit of fear. But that does not mean that fear has no hold over you. Of course it does. The only way to fight it is to rely on a Power infinitely greater and mightier than you, that loves you beyond your capacity to experience love. You will need help in doing what you want to do this year. Ask for it, and you will find it given to you in strange ways and stranger places. But you do need to ASK.
Above all, never forget that no matter how dark times become, the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. The darkness will NEVER overcome it - not as long as men stand firm in defence of all that is true.

May the peace and blessings of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you, brothers and sisters. Today's podcast is all about the miracle of the birth of Our Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth, and the meaning and power of that miracle in our miracle-denying modern age. I cover a whole range of topics in this podcast:
- The "Saturnalia" myth, which I addressed in much greater detail in a previous Domain Query podcast (and it was Kapios that asked the question - sorry dude);
- The "impossible conundrum" that God solved through the Immaculate Conception and birth of Jesus;
- My absolute contempt and utter hatred for the lukewarm blasphemies of "progressive" Christianity - you might need to lower the volume a little for that bit;
- Some concepts introduced through my reading of C. S. Lewis's classic apologetic work, Mere Christianity, which I cannot recommend strongly enough despite its evident flaws;
- A look through various passages in Scripture that demonstrate the kind of King that Jesus Christ really was - and is;
- A comparison between Jesus's teachings and The Way of Walking Alone by Miyamoto Musashi to show that Jesus was a hard man teaching a hard path - a warrior's path;
- Looking at waging war in the spiritual realm in a way that we might understand through Dr. Michael Heiser's breakdown of "the Upside Down" in Netflix's hit series Stranger Things;
... and quite a lot more besides. This one is a dense podcast, and deliberately so, since I deal with a lot of serious issues. But the core of it lies in a sincere appreciation of what Christmas is and why it is so important.
By the way, the title of this podcast does not come only from the story of the Three Kings who journeyed under the guidance of a bright star to pay homage to the newborn King. It also comes from the superb novella and short-story collection by the greatest living Grandmaster of science fiction, John C. Wright. Unfortunately, I cannot actually find the book on sale anywhere - I think the author yanked it from publication. I have no idea why, because it truly is wonderful. I would kill for a mere one-tenth of the writing talent that Mr. Wright has.
As always, remember to like, share, comment, and subscribe either at the site or on Podbean itself.
And, most importantly - MERRY CHRISTMAS!
This week's podcast is all about the feeling that many of us have that something really big is coming at us. The past year has been full of immensely difficult challenges, and most of us have felt drained and weakened by the trials that we have had to endure at some point or another. In this podcast, I review some of the many, MANY lies that we have been told over the past year, and I offer up some thoughts about what is coming and why you need to prepare yourself for it. I end on a message of hope and faith as Christmas approaches, so that you can understand how to get through a 2021 that is almost certain to be even worse than 2020 was.
Some links and points of interest:
- If you have never read Mere Christianity by C. S. Lewis, be sure to pick up a copy TODAY, because it really is perhaps the easiest and yet most wonderfully written short book of apologetics that you will ever experience;
- As I mentioned in the podcast, now is a great time to get yourself a proper VPN client - either Goose VPN if you just want a simple and straightforward client, or Surfshark if you want the hands-down best-value VPN package out there;
- Turns out that I was wrong - you CAN find the video of Google's leaked internal video, "The Selfish Ledger", on YouTube itself;
- The Danish mask study that had to be re-written three times to become more suitable for politically correct publication can be found here;
- The original Corman-Drosten paper that made RT-PCR testing popular around the world has now been retracted because it turns out to have been based on a whole lot of bad data and assumptions;
- As if all of THAT wasn't enough, there MIGHT be some reason to think that the Pfizer vaccine is actually REALLY FREAKIN' DANGEROUS;

This week's episode is once again about Islam and Christianity, and the vast contrast between the two on the subject of Scriptural inerrancy. Muslims have long claimed that the New Testament is corrupted and that our Christian revelations are therefore unreliable. This is nonsense and I show exactly why. I then move on to examine the claims that Muslims make about the inerrancy and reliability of their own Koranic scriptures, and I show, based on their own sources and historical evidence uncovered in the last few years, that there is nothing "eternal, revealed, complete, and unchanging" about their Koran.
I cite a number of different videos and YouTube channels that you can use to educate yourself on these fascinating subjects. I will provide a full list of supporting materials - insofar as I can collect them all, because the list of such things is enormous - down below.
This podcast is now live on Google Podcasts, Apple iTunes, Spotify, and now Pandora as well. So be sure to like, share, comment, and subscribe on your platform of choice!
Videos and channels to watch:
- Dr. Daniel Wallace on how much and how badly the scribes corrupted the New Testament;
- Dr. Frank Turek with his brilliant "God's Blockchain" argument about the many manuscripts of the New Testament;
- Dr. Jay Smith explains the huge problems with the qira'ats and the rasm manuscripts that show the complete nonsense of the "inerrancy" claim that Muslims constantly make;
- Pastor Anthony Rogers debates Dr. Shabir Ally - actually he completely DESTROYED him - on, among other things, the supposed "contradictions" in the New Testament about the Christology of Jesus Christ;
- Dr. David Wood shows how Sh. Dr. Yasir Qadhi flatly contradicts himself on the issue of Koranic preservation;
- More videos here, here, here, and here from various Christian apologetics channels showing similar contradictions in Islamic texts and beliefs;
- Unrelated - in case anyone is interested, here is the video that I referenced right at the beginning about a drug called ivermectin which apparently has exceptional prophylactic properties against the Kung Flu;
Put simply, the idea that the Koran was perfectly preserved is arrant nonsense. The challenge to Muslims is straightforward:
If you claim that your Koran was perfectly preserved from 634 AD onwards, then SHOW IT TO US. Show us ONE Koranic manuscript, dating back to the time of Uthman - we'll give you Uthman, we won't even make you go to the time of Abu Bakr - that consists of 114 surahs, that is exactly the same in every way as your current Hafs text.
If you cannot do this - then stop making this absurd claim.
And if you find yourself questioning your faith - come on home. We have exactly what you're looking for. You want a revelation that is eternal, sent down, complete, and unchanged.
We Christians have Him. His name is Jesus Christ, King of Kings and LORD.
So come on back. Come on home. Come to Jesus Christ.
In this latest edition of the Domain Query series, I answer an interesting set of points posed by reader Johnny in a comment on an unrelated post:
Didact,
See here : https://www.unz.com/article/hate-filled-hindu-priti-patel-is-sycophantic-to-jews-psychopathic-to-whites/
While I have come to conclude that Indian immigration to the US is a net negative (I used to think all skilled immigration that earns above the national average income is a plus as long as they aren’t Muslim terrorists), a lot of White Trashionalists have gone further.
The above article is pretty extreme, and goes too far. The author hates even ‘right wing’ Indians like Priti Patel and Nikki Haley, due to their support of Israel (as if almost 100% of white politicians don’t do the same). The author also conflates a lot of other things falsely, by saying that since India is the ‘rape capital of the world’, Indian immigration means tons of rapes in the US.
Muslim Pakistanis in Rotherham are one thing, but I don’t know of a single non-Muslim Indian in the West raping a woman here (and I doubt Indian men are strong enough to overpower a non-Indian woman in the first place). He also thinks that even elite tech Indians are 3 days away from shitting on the streets.
That, of course, goes too far. But I wanted your opinion on the article and comments for an accurate assessment of what is and is not valid. I believe that you are probably the most fairminded person on such topics.
White Trashionalists are the dregs of the white population for sure. No wonder the ‘community’ is 100% male and has a lot of gay men.
So I had a go at answering these points, at some length. There are three major issues to hit:
- Whether Priti Patel is a pleasant person to work for - my guess is, probably not, but I don't have any direct evidence and I think that Mr. Langdon probably goes way too far in his screed;
- Whether the Israel Lobby has too much influence and power in Britain - in my view, they do, and that's not a good thing, and Jews in Europe and the UK need to understand that they are wearing out their welcome very quickly, and they should apply their considerable energies and skills in making the great country of Israel even greater;
- Whether Indian immigration to the First World is a good thing - as far as I'm concerned, the answer is an unequivocal NO, but I provide more context and in a rather different tone from Mr. Langdon;
Here are some other resources to read and consider on these three points:
I referenced an article about a civil servant who left the Home Office under a cloud due to his repeated rows with the Home Secretary, Ms Patel. He's not the only one, as it turns out, and Ms Patel's behaviour is cited as the reason why there is significant turnover at the top of the Home Office. Given the kinds of Swamp Creatures who inhabit those posts, that is not a Bad Thing at all in my view.
I talked at some length about Boris Berezovskiy, the Russian Jewish oligarch who basically said that every Jew's first allegiance is to Israel. Here's a long article about how one Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin - or, as we call him, the Neo-Tsar - rose to power, in which that specific point is raised repeatedly.
Mr. Langdon's article references an article from The Guardian that says that rape is a runaway problem in India and it is the world's most dangerous country for women. That is BALDERDASH. Here's an article from a couple of years ago that puts India in its proper context. India is definitely not a good place for women, but it's FAR from the worst.
Finally, with respect to the point that Johnny makes above about the implication that even India's tech elites are just a few steps away from defecating in the streets... that actually isn't so far-fetched. For reference, check out this lengthy article from Richard Grenier called "The Gandhi that Nobody Knows" - here is the money quote:
When Gandhi attended his first Indian National Congress he was most distressed at seeing the Hindus—not laborers but high-caste Hindus, civic leaders—defecating all over the place, as if to pay attention to where the feces fell was somehow unclean. (For, as V.S. Naipaul puts it, in a twisted Hindu way it is unclean to clean. It is unclean even to notice. “It was the business of the sweepers to remove excrement, and until the sweepers came, people were content to live in the midst of their own excrement.”)
Draw your own conclusions from that, really.
In summary, Mr. Langdon's article does go too far in several areas. But SOME of what he says is indeed valid.
This week's episode is all about ranting against the never-to-be-sufficiently-cursed whorenalists and presstitutes of the mainstream (((media))). I talk about many topics, including:
- Shout-outs to my friends Adam Piggott and Last Redoubt for their excellent contributions to this side of the 'Sphere of late;
- Thanks to Men of the West for taking up my articles and featuring them;
- References to easily the best QUEENSRYCHE album of all time;
- The nature of the (((media))) and why it has always been partisan;
- The evil that the (((media))) currently represents, and why the notion of "impartiality" is so ridiculous;
- My unfiltered and very honest thoughts about exactly what to do with most "journalists" these days;
- Exactly why the (((media))) lie to you and the sinister purpose behind those lies;
- What you can do in an age of (((media))) lies and bullshit to protect yourself from their predations;
Oh, I found that clip via Bill Whittle of that whorenalist on Charlie Rose's show talking about how the (((media))) were biased in favour of John Kerry and gave him about a 15-point lead in the polls just because of their blatant electioneering.

This week's podcast episode touches on many subjects, ranging from Robert A. Heinlein's controversial classic military sci-fi novel, STARSHIP TROOPERS, to the Beer Bug, to the nature of rights and responsibilities. I discuss a lot of different points here:
- Why STARSHIP TROOPERS is such a brilliant book, and why everyone should read it;
- The 12 "Juvenile" novels that Heinlein wrote:
- Rocket Ship Galileo
- Space Cadet
- Red Planet
- The Rolling Stones
- Farmer in the Sky
- Between Planets
- Starman Jones
- The Star Beast
- Tunnel in the Sky
- Time for the Stars
- Citizen of the Galaxy
- Have Space Suit, Will Travel
- The truth about the Coof and the statistics behind it:
- Actual CDC mortality statistics indicating that 99% of those under 70 will survive just fine;
- The GIGANTIC and glaring mathematical error, made by CDC researchers, that caused all of this insanity in the first place;
- The latest gold-standard Danish RCT study that concludes that there is no statistically significant effect in infection rates between people who do and do not wear masks;
- The real science behind whether or not masks work at stopping influenza and similar viruses from being transmitted among populations;
- The impact of giving the vote to anyone without regard to who earned it and who didn't:
- How government spending was affected by giving women the vote;
- Cumulative net fiscal impact per capita by gender and age from New Zealand government data from 2010 shows that women are net drains on the public fisc, while men are net contributors;
And yes, I was originally right, the 19th Amendment to the US Constitution gave women the right to vote.
I also wrote a few posts on this subject a few years ago that are worth reading. The most important one is about rights and responsibilities, written all the way back in 2013.

This week's episode is a wide-ranging one, in which I cover a number of different topics:
- The current state of the utterly corrupted 2020 electile dysfunction in the USA and Vox Day's enigmatic yet upbeat response to the current demoralisation and gaslighting campaigns from the traitorous (((media)));
- The powerful forces on the move in the world and outside of it, inspired by a quote from Ronald Reagan's legendary 1964 RNC speech;
- The irrationality of atheism and the lack of any objective atheistic moral code, based on Q&A sessions featuring an atheist named Cody and Christian apologist Dr. Frank Turek;
- The holes in the arguments made by otherwise brilliant thinkers like Bertrand Russel in his essay, "Why I Am Not a Christian", and the issues with his facts and logic;
- Evidence for the actual events depicted in the Bible, as presented in documentaries like Patterns of Evidence: Exodus;
- The perfection of morality that we can find within the Bible through sources such as the Ten Commandments;
- The nature of the spiritual war that we find ourselves fighting right now;
... and plenty more.

Reader ReactionaryTeen had a long comment to add to my recent post about killing your inner Gamma male:
I often struggle with thinking I’m a gamma, even though dogs respect me and I have a (kind of) dangerous blue collar job (cutting feral bees out of walls). I’ve started lifting, and I’m 6’+ and hardly overweight. The main source of my self-perceived gammatude is, as with a lot of guys, my dealing with women. I am what scripture would call “slow of speech and tongue.” I used to have a minor speech impediment as a kid/young teen. I’m over it now, and have taken public speaking classes so now I can talk to customers and platonic friends with no problems, but the instant I think of talking to a moderately attractive female my tongue locks up and I practically run away to avoid embarrassing myself. I honestly think I just need more practice. I was raised in a Christian homeschooling family, and while I have a head start on college (junior at 19) and a $100/hr job working with my father, I have had almost zero experience talking to girls I’m interested in. In addition to this, the church we attend is relatively small and the only girl there who I’d consider a good catch is currently in a very serious courtship with my twin brother (on the plus side, that tells me I’m not physically unattractive). The close second (physically, anyway) is on a prayer list (and meds) for cutting herself. Obviously not wife material. Any suggestions as to how I can improve my social skills with women and also find any I’d consider? I think my problem is legitimately lack of exposure. I thought about going to my college’s Christian group or whatever, but the rainbow flag pins some of them wore obviously nixed that idea.
I provide some ideas about how to get past the fear of talking to girls in this podcast, such as:
- Learning from Adam Piggott's 28 Traits of the Modern Man;
- Gaining insights from Richard Grannon's superb lecture at the 21 Convention;
- Changing or dropping your college major outright;
- Gaining social value and proof;
- Concentrating on your mission, rather than on girls;
There's plenty to digest in this podcast, so be sure to listen all the way through.
Oh, and as I mentioned - this podcast is now available on a number of major podcasting services:

This week's episode is all about the lies that have seduced us and are now destroying us. I talk about the realities of the world around us, such as:
- The fact that Donald Trump WON the election on Nov 3 but is in serious danger of having it stolen from him;
- The reality that the God-Emperor is in some ways his own worst enemy;
- The truths about the Kung Flu and its actual dangers to us;
- The outright lie that wearing a mask at all times will save you from anything related to the Coof;
- Treatments for the Chinese Mumps, which are cheap, readily available, and highly effective;
... and plenty more besides.
Furthermore, I encourage listeners to embrace the hard reality that we, ourselves, are responsible for our current situation. And I provide clear, actionable advice to help you get over the oppressive climate of fear, suppression, despair, and helplessness that threatens to overwhelm us all.

Time for another Domain Query - this time I answer a very interesting question from reader "H" about whether or not there is any hope for apostates. Here is the original question:
Forgive me if this is an annoying question you would rather not answer - I understand if that is the case. If you’re inclined to answer, I wanted to ask what your thoughts are about apostasy and returning to the faith. I was a Christian 10 years ago and said that I no longer believed after believing atheist arguments I read about online. Now, I see that many of those arguments are unsound and I feel like our overly hedonistic culture is empty and I’ve been lied to. I’ve wondered if I can return to Christianity and if God would accept me back... but there is the verse in Hebrews that suggests otherwise and I feel I may be damned and there is no hope. Perhaps you can’t answer whether or not an apostate can return. I wanted to ask a Christian who really seems to follow the Bible, as I have read Christian websites saying that verse in Hebrews is misinterpreted. As you point out on your blog, though, many modern churches and Christians are unbiblical and twist or ignore scripture. I don’t want to lie to myself, and I must accept the consequences of my choices. But do you think an apostate can return to God, or is that not possible?
I answered this at some length in writing, and decided to address the same issue in spoken form here.
Longtime Reader and FotB Kapios had a couple of interesting and thoughtful questions for me a couple of days ago with respect to GETTIN' SHIT DONE!:
Lately, my mind has been preoccupied by thoughts on boredom. I had my head in a cloud for years about the lie that I have to feel like doing something before doing it or the usual ‘follow your passion’ advice. I’m not about to advocate working for a soul sucking finance job, but finding work or starting a business that has 2-3 exciting aspects about it and another 10 boring tasks that you have to go through is the norm. I have to admit, I just started to make serious abstinence from the vices that you mentioned and I feel better.
I have not fully integrated that belief in my mind yet, so I was wondering what would be your advice on propelling yourself towards a desirable belief and outcome once you start cutting off the anchors that hold you back?
As a general rule isn’t it true that passion is cultivated and not something that you already have, with maybe a few exceptions around the world?
I answer this in the latest Domain Query podcast:.
Commenter Sasha Hrongmitts had a rather interesting follow-up question to my last post about the early history of Islam:
Are you sure the Persian Empire used Arabs as troops against the Byzantines? I could be mistaken, but I thought one of the reasons the Arabs were so successful against the Byzantines was their war manual, the Strategikon, did not have any info on Arab armies.
I don't discount the possibility that the Byzantines simply didn't know how to fight the Arabs, but it's worth asking whether the Arabs had made any significant military impact on the world stage before Islam's rise. The answer is almost certainly "no".
In this Domain Query podcast, I explain why, at least based on what evidence we have today:.
Reader and friend JohnC posted a long series of questions about generational differences between the Baby Boomers, GenXers, Millennial(tard)s, and GenZ in a couple of comments on the Great Mondaydact Browser Buster from earlier this week:
Hey Didact what are thoughts on Gen X bosses? Gen X parenting?
I know many blame the Baby boomers on this and that. I myself am a Gen Y.
I have worked with Silent, Baby boomers, Gen X, Gen Y and now Z. I find the Baby Boomers would say a lot of crap on things like SJW things but really not mean it. As long as the company is making money.
Gen X on the other hand push health, safety, anti bully and equality far more often in the workplaces and see it more important than money.
I think what you are seeing in the world today in major companies in the USA is the rise of Gen X bosses. I could be wrong, but I don't think many companies are run by Gen Y at this moment in time. I think Gen X now are taking over the companies.
Also parenting, my gosh the anti racism, anti bully campaign and the push for young girls in higher education by the Gen X's is amazing bad. Gen Y are now parenting but we are still at the early stage since many of us did not kids until we were 30s (I still don't have any at this moment in time). I went to school in the 90s and Baby boomers teachers are the type that will say something but don't care to push it hard. Gen X teachers are the type that if they say it they enforce it.
Gen Y are the type that push the ideas to the limits until it fails hard and then move on to other ideas. That is why Gen Y try Veganism, Atheism, women working high careers and voting to the left at a higher rate when they were young compare to Gen X and Baby boomers.
Again I could be wrong.
Also a thought many of the pastors in the US today are Gen X and what do we see. The stupid anti racism and pro rainbow flags.
This is not to hate on the Generation X but to show that things don't get better just because the Baby boomers are retiring. The Baby boomer were and still are bad compare to the generations that come before them. And it is amazing that many of them still think the world owes them.
Now that Gen X is in charge you would think that they would want to reverse some of the damage but instead they push it into high gear.
I also don't believe that Gen Y or Z will do any better when they get into power.
My prediction is that many companies today will over time give up higher positions to women of Gen Y. They (gen Y women in the positions) will then destroy the businesses.
You can not put your faith in the Generations, since they are people.
Also it sad to think that instead of trying to make positive changes now, many are relaying on the younger generations to fix the problems cause by their generations and the older ones. People had given up on Gen Y but i will tell you, Gen Z can not fix it (at least not on their own) and Generation Alpha will not fix it. It will take all generations to make sacrifices and a turn to God.
Like I said - a LOT of questions all strung together. So I answered them at some length. Here is the embedded podcast.
Commenter Johnny asked a number of questions on the back of last week's Friday T&A post related to Indians in America. They are mixed in with lots of other stuff, so I'll break them down into simple chunks:
- Why are Indians in the West (especially America) so vocally and uniformly left-wing? They vote like 80% or more Democrat, as a high-income group.
- Are they resentful about being weak and ugly, and as such, hate White people?
- Are Jews encouraging them so as to set Indians up to take the heat once the general collapse of the USA happens?
- Why does it make logical sense that Hinduism and Leftism go together very well?
- Building on the previous question, why do Indians in America support both loony-Lefitst Democrats AND the current right-wing leader of India? Isn't this a complete self-contradiction?
I endeavour to answer all of these questions, and quite a lot more, in a Domain Query podcast.
Reader JohnC911 had another couple of questions for me on the back of my post a while back on the subject of race riots in the USA:
If the US President and/or the American congress ask for your advice on how to solve Race relations?
If Race relations can not fix peacefully or the solution will be too resistant and requiring many long term fixes that the president (or the congress) could not achieve what are some temporary (temporary being for the next 4 to 8 years) fixes that you could come up with?
As is my wont nowadays, I answered this via a Domain Query podcast:.
Longtime reader and friend of the blog Kapios posed an interesting set of questions to Monday's browser-crusher:
On another note, do you think the neo tsar has obtained the 'Daddy Putin' status to the Eastern European countries or is this just a front? Sure the countries around Russia are in NATO and they are littered with American military bases, U.N and so on, but Putin seems to have won the culture and religious war. The former communist countries are strengthening their economies, because most of them don't follow the Keynisian economics as closely as the U.S and the Christian Orthodox Church seems to be going strong as well. They have their problems too, with high ranking religious figures being corrupt, but they are not the spotlight of the world and they don't seem too eager to play politics like the Vatican. Maybe these countries are giving Putin a submissive nod given how Western countries corrupt everything they touch.
The West is a sinking ship, so I don't see a reason why they shouldn't side willfully and maybe happily with the Russians.
As is my practice these days, I decided to answer this via a Domain Query podcast.
Reader JohnC posed a battery of queries to me in response to a video in my Monday browser-crusher:
Hey Didact,
In your opinion what would a war between India and China be like?
Also could a small war between India and China had any benefits?
It is a weird question to ask but in regrading to the surplus of men to women in both countries such thing might help the gender divide. Also wake up the average Indian up to the threats.
I was thinking about after WW2 with the Russians. Yes the country was trashed and a lot of family lost loves ones. Millions die. The gender balance change afterwards has affected the men and women. And the war has psychology affected them. This is one (as well as years of living under a communist system) reason why Russians did not sign up for the immigration crisis like Western Europeans.
You have commented in the past on Indian men and women, Indian military ranks and the Caste system is in part why India is what it is. A war might be force them to rework or change. Though this might require such a disaster to force change.
It's an interesting series of questions. I answered them at length in a Domain Query podcast.
Reader MrUNIVAC posed a very interesting question to me in response to one of my comments in a chain from Monday's post, in which I stated that Indian men are generally huge blue-pill Betas and this has a major impact on how they deal with actual problem-solving in the real world:
I always got that vibe just by being around and talking with them, but why is that the case? I think there's a very strong matriarchal bent in their society, but are Indian mothers just that incredibly overbearing?
It's a great question. I answered it in today's Domain Query podcast, which I admit went on for a bit longer than I would have liked, but it's an interesting topic for me:.
Reader JohnC911 asked an interesting question in relation to the Scripture that I posted up on Sunday regarding the compatibility of Christianity and libertarianism:
Is it possible for a Christian Libertarian society to exist if they chose to put Jesus as their King? and could it last?
In my view the only reasonable answer to this question is: "Not possible and not for more than about 3 generations, on average".
The first part of that answer has to do with the fundamental incompatibility between the libertarian ethic of individual as sovereign and the Christian ethic of God as sovereign. The second part of that answer has to do with the evidence on hand, which shows that every attempt to setup a Christian republic where people are left more or less free to live their lives in peace, has always ended quite badly, because of the fact that we are a flawed and broken creation.
Reader and friend JohnC posed a VERY long comment with a question buried in there... somewhere... about whether or not Pontius Pilate was guilty of condemning Jesus Christ to death, and whether he felt any guilt about casting out Our Lord to His death. I decided to take a stab at answering this via a Domain Query.
Longtime reader and friend of the blog Kapios pitched in with some interesting questions to my Pesach post:
Do you follow any particular denomination or do you think denominations is a divide and conquer tactic?
Also what do you make of the Easter and Christmas holidays in terms of ancient pagan customs?Is this a coincidence or some sort of myth to dismiss?
It's been a little while since I did a Domain Query podcast, so here is my answer at length. I do go chase a few rabbits down their holes, but that's pretty normal for me:.
While there is no specific reader question that prompted this particular podcast, I wanted to take some time to give thanks to those who have offered prayers on my behalf and for my family. To be clear - everyone's fine, it's all good, but thanks to the very stupid decisions taken by the government of the country that issues my passport, a lot of people, including my folks, have been left high and dry with minimal guidance on how to get basic needs.
I also wanted to take some time to address the veritable tsunami of bullshit and misinformation that the lying whorenalists of the mainstream (((media))) are putting out there in order to keep us all afraid and compliant. Don't listen to them, because the reality is far better than any of us thought initially.
Most importantly, I want everyone who listens to this to take away a message of hope.
We're going to get through this. Have faith in your Lord, your families, your friends, and yourselves. We will be OK in the end.

Longtime reader and friend of the blog Kapios had a very interesting question for me from Monday's compilation of amazeballs awesomesauce:
I wish Trump went after the Central Bank as hard as he obliterated the Demoncrats. Baby steps I guess, but since he pressured the Fed director to print more, I don't see this happening. Unless he plans to print money that actually belongs to the government. Someone did this a long time ago and he 'killed the central bank so hard that it took them 70 years to recover' to quote a documentary about the Fed.
I don't know how informed you are about the inner workings of the Central Banks, but if you have time to research and make a post one day, I would appreciate it deeply. I still never fully understood their system if I'm honest.
I decided to answer it at length using a podcast, as I think my voice is probably rather more animated and less dry than my writing on the subject can ever be.

Reader Sardaukar had an interesting question for me from a few weeks back related to an offhand comment that I made in my post about the possible futures for the Western world:
“Having lived among and dealt with Slavic peoples for a decent chunk of time, I can tell you from personal experience that while they are a fun bunch, and they are quite intelligent, and their women are absolutely stunning, they are NOT really compatible with Western Europeans and their descendants”.
Just curious Didact. Why do you think that the Slavic’s are not really compatible with Western Euros and descendants? Inquiring minds want to know!🙂
I decided to do something a bit different in answering this question, and did so by using a podcast.

We're back to politics full-swing in this week's podcast, and I have to say that the disaster that was the Presidential election earlier on in the week had my blood boiling. Hence my rather trenchant and pointed remarks about the never-to-be-sufficiently-cursed whorenalists and presstitutes of the lying (((media))), Jared Kushner, the traitorous generals and admirals in the military that inhabit the Five-Sided Wind Tunnel, and the spineless Republicucks.
Venom-spitting aside, the outcome of this year's Presidential election was, indeed, a disaster, though not quite in the ways that some might expect. I break it all down in this week's podcast - the failed predictions, the collapsed leads for the Daemoncrats, the utter corruption in the (((media))) and Big Tech, the stench of sulphur from the Biden campaign, and much more:.

This week marks a special milestone - 50 episodes of any podcast are a pretty good collection, especially when they are each an hour long or more. I'm not saying they're ALL gems, because they're NOT - I have at least enough self-awareness to know full well that my rants can be hit-or-miss - but evidently people do like what I have to say. So marking the 50th such podcast would of course require something interesting.
And through a very fortunate combination of events, we have today's 50th-episode podcast, which consisted of an interview with one Tom Kratman.
What you will find here is actually "only" the recorded part of a much longer conversation on Zoom - we were talking for nearly 2.5hrs, I think, and it was a fascinating discussion. I learned a lot of things that I'd never known before about the military, politics, history, and various other topics, and it's my privilege to share them with you through this podcast.
MANY thanks to Tom Kratman for graciously lending a big chunk of his time to allow some random shlemiel on the internet to interview him at such length, and for his continued patronage of this blog. As you will hear toward the end of the interview, he has a HUGE number of writing projects on his plate right now, so do keep an eye out for those books to drop in the near future.

This week is all about economics, politics, and history, and concerns the new Cold War being fought right now between the USA and China.

I view the current situation through the lens of history, looking at the previous Cold War between the USA and the USSR, and I talk about the lessons that we need to learn from the way that St. Reagan Magnus of the Right won the Cold War.

In this week's episode of the podcast, I discuss a wide range of topics spanning Hindu mythology, Christian philosophy and Scripture, red-pill thinking and debates, and current events, in the process of looking at the nature of women and why they have both a civilising and destructive aspect.

In this week's podcast, I discuss the ongoing race riots in America, and I talk about the (awful) spectacle of watching White Americans abase themselves before Blacks, seeking validation and forgiveness of their "sin" of so-called "white privilege".

For this week's podcast I decided to address some spiritual topics that have been on my mind for quite some time. This week's episode is all about the war of spirit and the ways in which that war has manifested itself among us.

In this week's podcast, I discuss the reality, and futility, of higher education, point out that it results in debt-slavery, tell women everywhere to stay away from it and hit them with some very harsh biological and sociological truths, and advise young men to seek fresher pastures instead, with some specific exceptions.

Let's talk about the nature of the Deep State, its insidious methods, its dangers, and how to deal with it.

In this week's podcast, I discuss the rather strange and shadowy Nephilim, or Watchers, mentioned very briefly at various points in the Bible and at much greater length in the apocryphal Books of Enoch, while stopping over various mythologies and points in history.

I look at the very divergent ways in which different countries, cultures, and states have reacted to the Kung Flu, and point out some hard truths about the significance of the red-blue divide. I also extensively reference one of my favourite books, John Ringo's excellent The Last Centurion, which has been extremely influential (no pun intended) upon my thinking on these subjects.

Here I speak off the cuff on predictions for the future. I make 5 specific and testable predictions:
- The reputation of the godless and incompetent elites who led us straight into this crisis will be irretrievably and irreparably damaged, and many of the institutions that they lead will never recover from the loss of prestige;
- The USA will break up as a political entity between 2033 and 2040;
- The God-Emperor of Mankind will be re-elected in 2020;
- The US economy will come roaring back once all of the idiotic government anti-Chinkflu restrictions are lifted - while a large number of jobs will never return, other great opportunities will come up to replace them;
- China will become more isolationist and dangerous as a result of its epic cock-up with the Kung Flu;

The latest episode of Didactic Mind is up, and seeing as how it is Easter Sunday today, I figured that this would be a good opportunity to talk about the meaning of the day, the power of the name of Our Lord and King, Jesus Christ, and the extremely timely nature of the message that He brought to us in the current crisis.
(Note: this is episode 24, NOT 23. My bad.)

In this week's episode, I discuss and dismantle some of the myths surrounding the origins of the Great Depression, the ways in which it unfolded - from the idea that Herbert Hoover was some sort of "do-nothing President", to the even sillier notion that FDR "saved" the USA, to the downright absurd one that the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act made it all far worse than it had to be - and the manner in which it ended.
I also make a bit of a digression into how open market operations work, and the extreme dangers posed by the unaccountable, unelected, uncontrolled Federal Reserve, and the ways in which the Fed affects trade, commerce, and liberty at virtually every level of the economy.

In this week's podcast I address a wide range of subjects, from the ridiculous and frankly overhyped estimates of Corona-chan's mortality rate, to the dangers of taking epidemiological models too seriously, to the different ways in which societies have adapted and reacted and overcome, to the political reality behind the panic gripping us all right now. And I look ahead to what we can expect from the recovery that will take place once all of this is over - and how that recovery could potentially be derailed.

I look at the spread of Corona-chan and try to bring some sober, clear-headed analysis that cuts through the Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt (FUD) that has been spread throughout the world by the mainstream (((media))) through increasingly sensationalised and panicked headlines.
