Didactic Mind

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:

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:

1. The most effective rhetoric is always couched in truth.

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.

See also this video from OBADSDL(PBUH) Vox Day's Voxiversity series about the SSH, to understand how and why it operates. And see this video about Gammas to understand why rhetoric is so effective against them.

Lastly, here is a video examining rhetoric from Vox Day himself.

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;

... 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;

... 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:

1. The will to act - simply put, the willingness and the ability to take action even when we are afraid of the outcomes;

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.
