Civilisation and Its Opposite (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As a philosopher, I’m intensely interested in discovering true knowledge. That is, knowledge which has the potential of leading men towards goodness – be it good thinking or good conduct. In this respect, some matters are tougher than others. True knowledge of, say, mathematics, is relatively easy to come by. Political truth, on the other hand, often leaves one at a loss: hiding behind half-truths and semi-metaphors, modern political discourse feels specifically designed to make us semi-sentient
The Test of Civilisation (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As Albert Jay Nock once remarked, cleverly paraphrasing Goethe, the test of civilisation is conversation. Nock himself was a journalist, a professional man of letters whose treasure-trove of written word I cannot help but scour for ideas, insights, and sharp, imaginative observations.

Time for Rebirth (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Today, we were lucky to be delighted with yet another Tucker Carlson masterpiece. His is a uniquely gifted mind which, coupled with a silver tongue, delivers us directly to what matters.

Secondly, this truth has a quality of universal validity.

Read excerpt
Deceiving a man is the most profitable and effective way of disarming him. It is profitable because a deceived man disarms himself – you don’t have to waste time and resources on doing so through force; and it is effective because, just as a deceived man disarms himself voluntarily, he likewise voluntarily remains defenceless for however long you want him to. Hence, the purpose of this essay is to continue the job started previously, the job of disentangling important sociopolitical concepts and
Community, Society, Nation - Part I (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Keeping up with the general ideas of my previous missive, I decided to spend some time dwelling on words and meanings that are bound to crop up in any sociopolitical discourse. Words like “community”, “society”, and “nation” are routinely recruited for spectacles of public speech, and just as we are taken by the spectacles, we pay little to no heed to those unnatural twists and contortions those words are bound to perform. When a word is commanded to tie itself into knots in a show of verbal acr
