Aristotle said that man has two peaks that are accompanied by intense pleasure: sexual intercourse and thinking. The human soul is a kind of ellipse and its phenomena are spread between its two foci that display our tropical variety and ambiguity. This will be no surprise to those who understand sexual transmutation. The great salesman,…

More reasons why I am not a MRA
There is nothing wrong with single issue advocates. The problem occurs when it starts to override everything else. Take the Elian Gonzalez scenario. MRAs, seeing only the boy returned to his father, begin immediately applauding. They cheer the Janet Reno who sent the troops to invade the house for the boy on one side while…
Time to move beyond MGTOW
There is something very wrong with MGTOW. Instead of talking about ‘men going their own way’, we see… -Anti-Americanism (or other rants against one’s mother country) -Declarations of Chicken Little economic/social/cultural collapse. -Religious screeds against a particular religion or against all religions. -Conspiracy theories. -Evangelizing the ‘Deck-Stacked-Against-Us-Have-No-Hope’ view of society (which is unproductive) -Evangelizing that…
The Seduction of the Men’s Movement
Eric Hoffer wrote a brilliant book last century called, “The True Believer.” In the book, Hoffer began analyzing mass movements that ripped apart the twentieth century. Why do people join mass movements? And why are those who most frequently join mass movements tend to be poor or very wealthy? He solved the question as to…
Plato’s Warning About Writing
Our vision of history comes from past writings. But what about the time before writing was invented? And if writing was invented beforehand, could it have been possible for civilizations to ignore writing because they saw it as a vice? Plato, one of the last who knew the pre-writing civilizations (and, hence, the Mill), wrote…
Huxley and Orwell foretold the Matriarchy
There are two political books the ‘masses’ keep gravitating toward of the last century. The books are Brave New World by Aldous Huxley and 1984 by George Orwell. Both books are cited by all political groups from across the spectrum. Each points to the other as 1984 while one group finds Brave New World a…
Why Men Fall into the Trap of Matriarchy
At a time when everyone seemingly dons tattered arrogant souls, when, in order to feast on the height of their self-seen greatness, everyone yields to their usual brainwashed tropes. In the Matriarchy, there are two: the Grand Career and the Grand Household. The Grand Career is not a ‘job’ but something more ‘glorious’. A plumber…
Real Seduction versus Wimp Seduction
It is time for a pop quiz. What, sirs, is the definition of the term ‘Wimp?’ What does it stand for? “One who doesn’t score with women.” “Someone who isn’t macho.” “The lack of coolness.” All these are good, gentlemen, yes. Yet, they are all wrong. I will give you a better explanation of the…
The Adventurer and the Vortex
One day, the magnificent Pook decided to share his manliness (for it would be selfish to contain so much manliness!) with the world. The people rejoiced in this and children ran to greet the Pook when he appeared. However, Pook encountered a band of disgruntled people huddled in a circle. They hissed their frustrations of…
The Difference between the Matriarchy and the Patriarchy
A young man approached the Pook and asked, “Monsieur Pook, tell me, what is the difference between the Matriarchy and the Patriarchy?” And the Pook replied, “What do you think it is?” The young man sniffed and said, “It is power of gender. Matriarchy has women in control. Patriarchy has men in control. Perhaps we…
