Assuming you enjoy this kind of undergraduate humour (as I do); I recommend this as a droll and well-constructed stunt video; heavily featuring one of my local supermarkets and the streets near where I live.

It starts pretty well, but gets better as it goes on - and you need keep watching ...

I may have mentioned a time or two that the sync fairies ain't got no class. This post will contain quite a lot of anatomical vulgarity.

I've never listened to the Sex Pistols. I mean I literally don't think I've ever listened to a single Sex Pistols song. They're not the sort of band that gets ...

In the weird online world, the masculine reaction against feminism and feminization, has often taken the form of men analyzing what women do (in order, supposedly, for men to be able better to understand and manipulate women).

So, men who purport to desire to re-establish patriarchy, are expending their time and ...

Let us contemplate Sartre’s dictum that life begins beyond despair.

​Note the word beyond. Assume it means on the far side of or the other side of. Assume beyond also means far away from and outwith.

With this in mind, two potential paths to living beyond despair become apparent. The first involves ...

It's possible that some readers of this blog who have only come to it recently are not aware of its initiating inspiration, referred to in the title of the blog. I am not saying the writings here have any special authority. For better or worse they are just me but they do derive in part from experiences I had as a ...

I keep documenting these influence-of-adjacent-lines reading errors because I think they're interesting, and because I at least seem to make them all the time. This one is unusual because one line influenced another across a sizable gap:

I've said this several times in several places over the past 10-plus years on this blog; but maybe it deserves stating on it own... When I converted to Christianity, when I became a Christian, it was for the wrong reasons... mostly.

My reasons for believing in first God, and then Jesus Christ, were - mostly, but not ...

A couple of observations...

In geopolitics, it is clear that the Western world is increasingly dominated in its major policies by agents of Sorathic destruction. They have set-up the global situation such that a full-on third world war is little more than a hairsbreadth away.

On the flip-side: at the time of ...

I had another talking dream last night, though I have no sense of who the speaker was or what language he was speaking. It was a discussion about the meaning of the numbers one and forty-four. I've forgotten almost all of the content, but I remember the gist was that 1 represents the Sun and the Living; 44 represents ...

In my November 22 post "They shall take up serpents," I quoted this passage from the Book of Helaman:

Behold, we lay a tool here and on the morrow it is gone; and behold, our swords are taken from us in the day we have sought them for battle. Yea, we have hid up our treasures and they have slipped away from us, ...

My wife recently ordered some new luggage, and it arrived a couple of days ago. She kept the box it was delivered in because she wanted to use it for something else later.

This morning, just before I went out, she asked me about the word caster, which appeared on the box, wanting to know if it was used only for ...

I suspect that, in very general terms, the modern materialist mainstream person - whose attitudes are (unless they are very young) essentially adolescent - sees life as a choice (in practice always a compromise) between the possibilities of order and chaos.

Order and chaos are given institutional form in bureaucracy ...

Step One:

Write a long-winded, sprawling post in which you decry the demonic influence of mammon and declare money to be the root of all evil.

Step Two:

At the end of the post, ask readers to support you and your blog with . . . money.

I had a dream last night consisting primarily of this sentence, spoken in English: "Likeness in anything is likeness to him." The word him was spoken in such a way that it sounded as if it were capitalized and meant God, but the visual accompanying it was of a different "him" -- Mr. Tyco M. Bass from the Mushroom ...

Almost all traditional religion was extremely "high-volume". By this I mean that there was an enormous amount of stuff that the 'faithful' adherent was supposed to know and do...

Rituals to memorize; books to read, learn, and be able to expound; a yearly round of festivals; parable, stories, proverbs; songs; codes of ...

Any Artificial Intelligence ("AI") which is not merely hypothetical and concerned with possibilities - and that is actually being implemented in Western Society on any significant scale - should be regarded as the intentional product of the ruling totalitarian Establishment in one of its manifestations.

AI is - from ...

The supernatural and natural are the same.

The supernatural and natural are separate.

The supernatural is beyond; the natural is fallen.

The supernatural can be approached through the natural.

The natural proves the supernatural cannot exist.

The natural and the unnatural are separate.

The unnatural proves that ...

I have previously described what I regard as the major Litmus Test issues for discerning which side a person has chosen in the spiritual war of the world (i.e. the sides for- and against-divine creation) - things like climate change, feminism, the birdemic/ peck, antiracism, and hostility to the autonomous existence ...

JRR Tolkien's prophetic and historical legend of the Downfall of Numenor (his Atlantis) has increasing relevance with every passing year; as our own world seems to replicate so many of its sins. Last year's The Fall of Numenor volume is a valuable collection and arrangement of Tolkien's major ...

Many writers, bloggers, and thinkers have outlined and continue to outline vast and sprawling conspiratorial interpretations of history. Some more convincingly than others, but I do not doubt that many of these conspiratorial interpretations are true – or at least as close to true as interpretations of history ...

I'm beginning to think that a proper understanding of the Second Creation, made by the work of Jesus Christ, may be the key to what we most need to understand.

There has, at least since the Apostle Paul, been a variety of more-or-less complex ideas related to a Second Creation made possible by Jesus; but my sense is ...

Premise: Leftism is the putrefaction that arises from the decaying body of a once creative and correctly ordered civilisation that has abandoned or lost touch with its guiding principles.

Response: A less harsh appraisal might be to say that leftism is what arises when a society loses proper spiritual understanding ...

Easy to say and to want, but impossible to do fully or consistently...

That structure implies to so-much of Life - we cannot actually do what we genuinely want most to do.

Except things are even worse! Because it isn't really even "easy to say" what is true, good and virtuous - even that usually takes a lot of ...

I've been reading Stowaway to the Mushroom Planet, Eleanor Cameron's 1956 sequel to The Wonderful Flight to the Mushroom Planet. The titular stowaway is Horatio Q. Peabody, a self-important scientist who hopes to make his name by publishing a description of Basidium, the Mushroom Planet, the very existence of which ...

When I got up this morning, I found that the wallpaper image on my phone had inexplicably been changed from an astronomical photograph to one of a coiled rattlesnake -- a photo I had found online and saved on October 18. I guess I must somehow have set it to wallpaper while asleep or half-asleep, but I have absolutely ...

Perhaps the term “psychopath” (when used accurately) is nowadays serving as a materialistic pseudo-medical description of what is actually a spiritual situation: that is, a person with an innately evil nature.

That is, a true "psychopath" would be someone who, by nature, is incapable of love.

Such people have ...

In a hypnopompic state this morning before fully waking up, I was thinking about Jay Leno and how odd that he of all people -- someone in whom I had no interest and about whom I knew virtually nothing -- should have appeared in my dreams. In my hypnopompic reverie, I latched onto the fact (discovered in my post-dream ...
