Paleo Picnic

Yesterday at Kirby Cove with B. You cross the bridge, hang a left and hike down a steep mile and there you are, isolated and protected forest and beach, maybe a dozen other people, but with a front row view to this beautiful city. Chicken, avocado and cashews, fruit salad. And good company.

At the risk of sounding maudlin, the Earth really is beautiful. The more I learn about the processes and time that went into making it what it is today, the more in awe of it I am.

Science doesn't always kill the pagans' awe of nature. Sometimes, it increases it.

Anonymous said...: Well, the universe as a whole is pretty incredible too. My interest in astronomy extends as far as staring slack-jawed at pictures of nebulae. I even thought of an aphorism for a Christianity-based thriller novel I never wrote, in which Archangel Michael described Lucifer as "beautiful as a nebula, and as radiant as a neutron star."; 8:08 PM, April 27, 2013

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.
