Exploring the connection between the black pill (resigned mindset) and embracing or rejecting "the flesh." Why scientism is an embracing of the flesh. Why the black pill is a demonic lie that should be rejected and protected against.

Exploring Jews in the role of Girard's archaic scapegoats: magical outsiders who blend in and either bless the community with white magic or curse it with black magic, and how Jews react and act in this role.

George is back with Virgil for Season 3 of the enchanting, enlightening Boreas Podcast!

The episode was recorded around Christmastime 2023. We discuss the katechon, one of the concluding topics in our new book, The Modern Malaise, available all over the internet February 7th, 2024.

Katechon ("he who restraints / that which restrains") is a term from St. Paul's second letter to Thessalonians and a mysterious concept much discussed over the centuries. We talk about how the katechon may be getting permanently removed by our current culture, which may lead – finally! – to the Apocalypse.

George closes out the season with a meditation on low self-esteem. How can this increasingly common affliction be explained by a failure in the relationship with our mimetic models? And especially the most decisive mimetic models of our lives – our parents ? How is low self-esteem connected to things like homosexuality, transgenderism, transhumanism, and in general a desire to transcend and transgress everything? How is it related to "scientism" and even science itself? Tune in to find out.

George rushes were respectable scholars fear to tread: the mimetic-theory hypothesis on homosexuality. The idea is that homosexuality arises when the sexual attention and appetite shift from the instinctual object of desire – i.e. a person of the opposite sex – onto the rival. George elaborates on the theory and applies it to the next-level sexual nonconformity we're seeing today: gender fluidity, multiplying types of sexuality, gender transitioning, etc. The phenomenon is explained as resulting from hyper-sexualised culture, but also from individuals trying to differentiate through authentic desire.

Virgil is back to talk to George about living the good life. We've done a lot of critique on the frogs and the snowflakes. Now it's time to discuss how to tell the right path and pick role models that will lead us to a good place. It helps to learn what "deviated transcendence" means, as well as the difference between internal and external mediation. Virgil and Charlie touch on some famous names as examples of true heroic exceptions.

Charlie is out for this one and George has a head on reckoning with the whole culture of pickup artistry. How PUA doctrine stacks up against the mimetic understanding of desire, why PUA doesn't work, and why you should stay away from it.
