Today we review and discuss an article from our own Harrison Koehli examining supernatural evil and its nexus to ponerology. Does evil have a physical manifestation? If so, what is it? How is good differentiated from evil? Is evil a pure biophysical issue or is there something more? Read Harrison's thought provoking article and join us for a discussion! https://ponerology.substack.com/p/supernatural-evil-and-ponerology

In this episode, the Tonic 7 discuss N.S. Lyon's recent essay on the convergence of Chinese and American systems, using this as the starting point for a discussion about Evil and its relationship to the managerial state.

This episode we talk about an article by Billionaire Psycho entitled Pygmalion and the Anime Girl. It is a very long article (or rather Poem, or perhaps a Collage) examining a feature of the current state of civilization which then expands to confront many challenges society faces and the dearth of viable solutions. https://billionairepsycho.substack.com/p/pygmalion-and-the-anime-girl

Extended discussion of national divorce, this time with more Doc Hammer!

An animated discussion about the prospect of national divorce as a means of resolving seemingly irreconcilable differences in the current American political environment.

Today we discuss Raw Egg Nationalist's short essay on art in the modern age and resisting the desire to merely "RETVRN" to the past. See essay here: https://asylummagazine.ca/FAIL-BETTER-TACITUS-AND-ART-ON-THE-DISSIDENT-RIGHT

Today we discuss the article "Complex Systems Won't Survive The Competence Crisis" by Harold Robertson. https://www.palladiummag.com/2023/06/01/complex-systems-wont-survive-the-competence-crisis/

The interdependent complex systems giving us our push-button economy in the developed world evolved under conditions where diversity was not a primary concern. Robertson argues that there is a fundamental conflict between prioritizing diversity and prioritizing competence. Will this conflict be enough to unravel the complex systems upon which our modern civilization depends? Join us as we discuss this and more!

Are we in the midst of a spiritual/religious war? If so, how can we delineate the sides in this conflict? More importantly, how do we pick a side? Join us as we discuss an article written by John Daniel Davidson in The Federalist entitled "Corporate America Has Launched A Religious War. It's Time To Choose Your Side" that explores these questions so that we may align ourselves with Tao against Machine.

Another tonic discussion, this time about education. Is the Prussian model the western world mostly inherited valuable, or should it be discarded into the dustbin of history? That and MORE!

Some months ago John Carter wrote an article about how the U.S. can't win WWIII. This prompted us to discuss that topic on this week's episode. Is another global conflagration inevitable, or are we already in the midst of a fifth generation war of wars? Obviously this is a complex topic, but we do our best to scratch the surface.
