  • Thor’s Oak

    —“Donar’s Oak (Thor’s Oak) (Donnar=Thundee) was a legendary ancient tree sacred to the Germanic tribe of the Chatti, ancestors of the Hessians, and one of the most important sacred sites of the pagan Germanic peoples. According to the legend the tree stood at a location near the village of Geismar (today part of the town of Fritzlar) in northern Hesse, and was the main point of veneration of the Germanic deity known among the West Germanic Chatti tribes and most other Germanic tribes as ‘Donar (High German: Donner = thunder) and northern Germanics as Thor. It was deliberately chopped down in 723 and marked the beginning of the Christianization of the non-Frankish tribes of northern Germany.”—

  • You Are Not Special

    by Brandon Hayes We instill the expectation of success without the subsequent struggle. When we do this early in children’s lives we set them up for failure; or more specifically with no tools to deal with failure (the inevitable kind). [a graduation speech entitled “You Are Not Special” sounds like the perfect speech and message] Here’s a great book on the crisis in the US:

  • a Heroic Vision of Life

    —-“What is really required to defend ‘the West’ against the sudden rise of these barbaric and elemental forces is the strengthening, to an extent perhaps still unknown to Western man, of a heroic vision of life. Apart from the military-technical apparatus, the world of the ‘Westerners’ has at its disposal only a limp and shapeless substance – and the cult of the skin, the myth of ‘safety’ and of ‘war on war’, and the ideal of the long, comfortable, guaranteed, ‘democratic’ existence, which is preferred to the ideal of the fulfilment which can be grasped only on the frontiers between life and death in the meeting of the essence of living with the extreme of danger.” ― Julius Evola, Metaphysics of War

    TRUMP’S RETURN TO A MULTI-POLAR WORLD

    by Bill Joslin

    Under a unipolar world (US exceptionalism) satellite states, it as I call them vassal states, play an important role. Vassals are proxies for US to do what the US can’t directly.

    Inversely vassals play a role for secondary players for the same reason.

    Trump is forcing a return to a multi-variable world (which is what Putin and China have been advocating – mutlipilar world under international law – internationalist opposed to globalists.

    So in one hand trump is saying to the vassals “we don’t need you anymore, it cost more to retain you then the benefits you proivde.

    And the rest try to poise themselves a soveriegn nations on equal footing when they have never been anything but vassals at the heel of a king – they’ve never really been soveriegn – only had the pretense of it in exchange for fealty to the empire (for Canada, to England first than a shift to the US in 1957 – for the rest under NATO etc).

    Here’s the thing – many nations.may fall in standard of living, but in exchange gain an opportunity to actually be soveriegn nations operating in reality versus vassal states living in pretense.

  • Truth is an adjective not a noun.

    By Bill Joslin Truth is an adjective not a noun. The subtle difference between truth as semantic axioms and truth as an asymptotic correspondence resolves the above. The ability to test a statement against a criteria (correspondence, coherence , utility, meaning or any combination thereof) makes “true” possible (the only time “true” us relevant) – thus “true” exists as a property of speech and thought (not a prooerty of the world or reality).

  • Why Women Live Longer

    By Eric Kristof Reasons women live longer: 1) Genetics: women’s telomeres are longer than men’s. 2) Genetics: women’s XX chromosomes provide a “backup” of sorts in comparison to men’s XY chromosomes. 3) Hormones: estrogen protects women from cardiovascular disease in comparison to men. 4) Hormones: testosterone increases risk taking behaviors. Women have less of it. Women with higher testosterone levels don’t live as long as their peers who don’t (and are more likely to bring a U-haul to their second dates). 5) Men have higher body mass and higher metabolisms. Body mass (people over 6 feet tall tend to die of cancer more often than shorter people). Higher metabolism means that men tend to burn through their stem cells quicker. 6) Social factors: men are more often convicted of criminal activity and incarcerated (men get prison while women get therapy). Higher risk environments and working conditions. Wars and military service. Men are less health conscious and tend to avoid doctors more when their health takes a dump. 7) Evolutionary factors: women have historically been the primary caretakers in societies throughout the world and tend to have more social connections than men . Isolation is the ultimate poison as Howard Bloom likes to point out.
