We discuss Clawson's new book Goonhood! The conversation was wide ranging, covering Evola, paganism, nature, barbarism vs. civilization, Mormonism, how to turn reading into action, and Clawson's demands of BAU. 

We discuss the Iron Prison, rural assemblies, an outlaw mindset, and German Nihilism.

We discuss Venner's works that have been translated into English: A Positive Critique and The Shock of History. 

PhocaeanD reanimates the spirit of the conquistador Cortes through a look at his key speeches and deeds.

We discuss Mishima's beautiful and difficult novel, The Temple of the Golden Pavilion. Themes include: Cripples, Honor, Ingratitude, “World,” Eros and The Fire of Nature. Many good topics in show.

Cerberus discusses Nietzsche's praise of Plutarch as well as Plutarch's "Life of Theseus."

We use Moldbug's review of BAM as a launching pad for a discussion about how to organize vitalism at the local level.
