This is great. I think you should do follow on post the events of July.

To build on J Burden’s point on the simplicity and accessibility of technology, the only way it could have become so wide spread is by making it useable by people with no prior insight. Video games did give people experience in computers back when you had to code them yourself or needed to know how to navigate files to add mods, the earliest game magazines came with a page of code so you had to program the game yourself before they switched to sending you game CDs. Modern children gain no skills whatsoever from modern games or tablets because they are design to not need any skill to access.

England's greatest problem right now is not the immigrants themselves as such, it's actually the English who cheer on their own nation's demise. I mean, maybe I just wasn't paying attention, but I simply wasn't aware there existed just so much self-loathing in this country. Another insidious myth that's emerged recently is that England was built by immigrants. I cannot tell you how much I despise this idea.

Can we not do the brainlet ZOG slave morality thing?

I'm 47, and when I first heard about libertarianism in the 90's I was already a "National Socialist." And it seemed to me that it was one big constructed way to hide the fact no one wanted to keep funding the bottom feeders reproduction rate, or pay taxes for bombing people into democracy. It never came off to me as a hoodwink or catch-basket, just a way to covertly convey some obvious truths without greater scrutiny or attachment to Nuremberg condemnations. Cheers to all you fellows breaking out.

I was screwing off at work and every time the teams notification sound went off i jumped.

Racists report in.

Thanks Gentlemen

I was a progressive/liberal and now I’m here. Gamer Gate kick started my move over to the right.

Thanks for the show

We attended the conference, we plan to attend next year as well.

Preordered my copy of Xenosystems a couple of months ago. Looking forward to seeing it soon.

Overrated writer who killed himself because he realized he had NO TALENT!

I was writing a long comment from 25:27, but you covered it ten minutes later... 30:36 is really important. Current historical market forces are on course to create an AI that will subsume humanity (it's going to be more useful and cooler every year... up until it kills everyone.) Land calls it the "natural" course of history. Accelerationism is saying that there's nothing we can do, and we should welcome extinction. Humanism is fighting against that, and saying: screw the current historical market forces. We *can* set up coordination to stop AI development.

I find Nick to be much more compelling as a philosopher than the snarky bibliography spewing antics of Yarvin. I appreciate both and reading both has been very revealing of a philosophy that has been denied to me as a classic liberal in my past.

Great convo. I really like Lomez.

1:16:55 that's why your community needs to read wendell berry.

59:24 bingo boys

Good stream.

video about revolutions doesnt talk about revolutions great waste of time

Our favourite russian SVR shill :)

On the topic of video games, as an undiagnosed autistic child they were kind of a refuge for me, and I think they helped me greatly develop problem solving skills. Unfortunately a lot of newer games do have this designer drug problem and are slop-ified in such a way that they dont teach skills anymore either. Another thing to consider about the zoomers that get absorbed into video games too much is that arguably video games are the last domain in which men are allowed to cultivate excellence anymore without facing social backlash.

On the topic of screens and screen exposure, I feel like we should bring back the concept of the family computer that stands in the living room. That way you can monitor what your kids are doing, they don't get conditioned by the instant internet access of phones, and they will associate outside with face to face interactions.

for good modern fiction with sound themes, i would strongly suggest the SunEater saga. Pastiche of Wolfe and Herbert, from a reactionary catholic pov

The Anglo American Empire is what's preventing reenchantment of the world thus allowing the Hebrews to continue ruling like the do.

The Republic long died. It cannot be rehabilitated. It's gone. You could not keep it. Trump is a lantern to cast a light upon the path and your enemies. He is not a hammer. But a hammer may come along that path before him. One does not take power and leave the old regime actors in place. They must be replaced with your own. Not everyone can be bought off.

Cringe? Reducing a writer like him to a idiotic term like that is very reductionist

See you at the Conference!

Trump forever! Leftists never! All leftists are fascists!

I am starting my Catholic homestead. I have had a garden since 2017. Seed saving and composting. Got ten chickens this year (2024). Already getting to see to the benefits of having domestic animals.

Thanks

Thanks

HYDRA has been in Marvel comics since 1965.

awkwaaard anyway, thx for the stream gents

Quality stream. Thank you.

Characters don't grow because adults and adult problems aren't allowed, it must be peter pan forever

The funniest thing about StormFront in the Boys was how the character’s physiognomy undermined the southern nazi narrative. Short. Brown eyes and hair. Roman nose. This is not Galadriel. This is not the tall blonde German maiden of legend this is not Frei. And then you see it. Perhaps unwittingly the casting director has put an Israeli in the place of the German aryaness. Her NYC mannerisms read more bagel than schnitzel. And ironically it gives the boys narrative more coherence. Stormfront is the shtetl golem turned Israeli superhero who is brought down by her inability to let go of her old grudges. It all fits. Short. Brown eyes and hair. Roman nose. It’s right there in front of us.

nice

If you are interested in Catholic SciFi and Fantasy writers maybe you should interview John C Wright. He is a grandmaster of the genre and still alive. Also, his conversion to the faith is interesting.

I'm sure most of the "have you converted yet" comments are just ribbing, but I would just add - Chesterton dabbled with the faith for 22 years before finally converting, while being one of its strongest advocates at the time

Yeah, I think I think writing schools TV television writing school. They don’t teach kids people as a hero journey anymore and they don’t teach like godly views, godly godly they teach his ideology.

I kinda agree that herbert made paul to be a sort of danger, but even herbert prefered paul to the harkonen, so the thing about paul is that he's the liberal king of the dune universe, so in herberts progressive worldview, paul was one step further into progress, even with all the bad stuff. but there's another thing, herbert thinkgs this jihad is "the worst thing ever" but it's violence that happens to people outside the readers view, so why would the reader feel bad about it? if the violence had happened to the fremen then his message would had hit home, he kinda fumbled that one.

28:40 it's kinda left open in the book, is paul the actual Lisan al-Gaib??? you have all sort of little excuses explicitly laid, like the missionaria protectiva, but it could easily be that the Bene Gesserit are unwilling pawns of destiny that just helped bring about a thing design by a greater power, after all paul is some sort of weird predestined superhuman that has humungus consequences for humanity, is it all just a normal thing? just another warlord, it's never made clear.

I liked the Expanse books, sure it is leftist, but I could believe that those characters, and that the setting, was a possible reality. The casting and translation to TV removed the few things I enjoyed about those characters.

Nice. Isaac has become a favorite follow recently, so I'm listening to this now.

David was a great thinker and author……

'Accusations of fascism', Lol I mean at the time yes they were silly, but look how they played out. I feel like unless you are against democracy, its clear to see how the 2020 election played out is extremely dangerous for the peaceful transfer of power and the future cohesion of the United States as a democratic nation. Very thought-provoking video.

1 timothy 2:11-15 (The Bible)

Love the video. Just a note on the mythology part. Hercules got some help from his friend Iolas, who cauterized the wounds of each head which was de capitulated. This stopped them from growing back, like they had before. Finally Hercules decapitated the seventh immortal head and buried it in the ground (still hissing). 🐍 The body was left to rot. I think the great man will need to have a great many helpers running around boldly cauterizing wounds!
