No, we're not trying to get on the naughty list or call out Santa (who is literally real).

But Santa is a springboard for talking about "myths we live by" vs. the "myths we must believe are literal truth" frame of Christianity.

Parents around the world bring the myth of Santa to life every year for their children in a ritual fashion.

(I'm 50 years old and my mom still sends me packages marked "from the Elves")

Santa shows how powerful and inspiring a myth that is (some people say) not "literally true" can impact and enrich our everyday lives.

Curtis Yarvin has been a provocative thought leader in a number of dissident spaces, and co-host ‪@caffeineandphilosophy‬ has been following his work for years.

In this week's show, we'll be discussing themes from Yarvin's new book, Gray Mirror: Fascicle I, Disturbance, from Passage Press.

CB Robertson has cited statements by Yarvin in various shows. Some of Yarvin's ideas seem smart and extremely reasonable and some are a hard pass.

Gray Mirror promises—in its title—to disturb us.

So we both ordered copies from Passage Press, and we'll kick around some of the disturbing ideas in this new book from an influential contemporary philosopher.

Some have called Trump's election a "bro-revolution." Football players and MMA fighters doing the Trump dance, Trump going on Rogan and walking into UFC to cheering crowds...

After decades of tolerating a hen-pecked mainstream culture, there's been a palpable vibe shift toward a return of the bro. When I asked ‪@caffeineandphilosophy‬ what we should talk about this week, he thought I should explore what happened to the bros over the past several decades, what changed, and what is happening now. So that's what we're going to do.

When I was writing The Way of Men in 2011, I started by reviewing the conflict between masculinity and feminism and the various attacks on masculinity and "bro" culture at that time. I decided to pull that section out of the final edit of the book, but I published it as a free e-book titled "No Man's Land" in 2012. You can read it for context on my website.

No Man's Land - by ‪@JackDonovan‬

https://www.jack-donovan.com/sowilo/2...

I'll also be watching ‪@millerman‬ 's video on the bro-revolution before the show, so we may refer to it.

I'm Witnessing America's BRO-REVOLUTION and It's Shocking!

This episode closes out our read-through of Homer's Odyssey with books 21-24, which include the climax and the aftermath of the tale. Jack will be in Tasmania with members of The First Men, so one of our top men, Mark, will be sitting down with CB Robertson to discuss the final chapters of the series and then talk about the works of Homer as a whole. Mark is part of CB's ongoing Homer study group, so the two of them have a well-established rapport and an in-depth knowledge of Homer.

The Hero and the Man: Language, Truth, and the Homeric Origins of Western Idealism

In this short episode (recorded in advance as our normal time was Thanksgiving night in America), we go through Books 17-20 of the Odyssey. Most of these chapters, as CB Robertson says, are "one long string of dramatic irony." The real "bro" moment is in the "bum fights" chapter, where the suitors encourage two beggars (one secretly Odysseus) to duke it out for their amusement.

Jack Donovan will be in Tasmania for next week's LIVE show, so CB Robertson will be having one of the other members of the First Men, Mark, on to discuss the final chapters of the Odyssey and the works of Homer in general. Mark is a leader in the First Men and he's involved in CB Robertson's masters level Homer study project, so they should have some deep takes.

Finally! Asleep in ITHACA... After years of struggle, Odysseus has returned to his homeland, but the battle is far from over.

Books 13-16 show that returning home is not just about arrival—it’s about reclaiming order, forming alliances, and confronting chaos. Odysseus reminds us that patience and loyalty are as essential as strength.

James Lindsay made a persuasive case for why "wokism" is a kind of gnostic Marxist religious movement, and we've incorporated his thinking into many of our discussions on and offline. Recently, Lindsay has been talking about the "woke right" and we had to go watch his video about it to see what he was talking about. He seems to see "woke right" as a descendant of the "alt-right." Lindsay warns that the "woke right" may undermine the progress of some of the good things that are happening in American politics right now—and some of his concerns are valid.

You can watch Lindsay's on the Woke Right video here:

Since ‪@JackDonovan‬ wrote for alternativeright.com in its first year and knew many of the key players in the scene, and ‪@caffeineandphilosophy‬ has been tracking and interacting with related thinkers for more than a decade, we thought we could provide some relevant context based on our experiences.

How did the alt-right start, how did it change, and what does it mean now?

Is "woke right" a term that makes sense?
