Titles containing words like "the end of humanity" are never taken seriously; when we see them, it's generally safe to conclude that the author is exaggerating, The end of humanity? Really? We assume that the subject is nuclear war, or climate catastrophe, or maybe an errant asteroid headed for Earth…But that's not what I have…
I love sitting in a comfortable chair, watching the snow fall outside as I relax by the fire. But sometimes it goes all wrong, and when it does, there are practical lessons to be learned…
Yes, our ancestors were born, lived, and died in frigid climates. That climate enforced genetic standards that made us White…
Transhumanism is all the rage these days, whether in the mechanistic, dehumanized perspective of Ray Kurzweil - who happens to be Google’s chief of engineering - or the cybernetic, interconnected human web glimpsed in Herzog’s Lo and Behold - Reveries of the Connected World. Over at the World Economic Forum, the coming transformation of humanity…

Timothy Leary was one of the remarkable characters of that era known as the Sixties - a magician/guru/hippie-activist famed for championing the use of psychedelics in general, and LSD in particular.
Not exactly the kind of person you’d expect to find mentioned on this web site…But life is strange…and Timothy Leary would have been the…
The removal of General Robert E. Lee’s statue in Charlottesville a few days ago hit me in the gut. It was one more victory for the “culture vultures” of what has become the Second Reconstruction.
The partisans of the Left won another victory. They want it ALL to go away - no more monuments to…

The Annals of Ulster record that Fergus, son of Nellan, was killed at Emain Macha in the year 563. I know a little about…
Note: This is the second in a series on six runes which I use as special tools of personal transformation. The first in the series dealt with the rune "Uruz," and was posted a few days ago. The idea behind this six-part series is that Odin/Woden/Wotan does not want us to "worship" him or pander…
