ex cathedra: A tourist in my own land

A tourist in my own land

Spent the afternoon at the American Museum of Natural History. I do believe I have not been there since I was in my 20's. On a Saturday, full of families and their kids. Lots of noise and energy. The life size replica of a blue whale dominating the Ocean Animals wing is amazing. Twice as large as I would have imagined.

And all those dinosaurs. And a dodo.

Walked down CPW a while and then took the subway to the West Village and had myself a

chocolate mousse and coffee at the Sant Ambroeus cafe, corner of W 4th and Perry.

A cold but bright and clear day in Manhattan.

Toward Our Future

What the sons of Europa need is a new religion: one that is as tribal, portable and survivalist as Judaism, as masculine, terrestrial and tough as Islam and as intellectually and aesthetically creative as Christianity...with a dose of the unflinching realism of the ancestral ways of the Greeks and Romans, Germans and Celts and Slavs..And for the larger Indo-European frame, something of the Indian capacity to combine an ultimate and philosophical realization of The One with a robustly mytho-poetic religion on-the-ground. Oh, and some of the psychological acumen of Buddhism.

Liberalism's Basic Flaw

Liberals believe that the chief role of the State is to force everyone to be equal, (ie, take vengeance on the successful). So when they are confronted with any group that they deem less well off than themselves, they are morally disarmed, completely and utterly. Any group that can achieve Victim Status is on their way to power and the (White) liberal's only job is to give them what they want, no matter how much that damages him. And nothing may ever be expected, much less demanded, of them in return. It's a recipe for suicide: no other outcome is possible.
