  • The Internet is Driving us Crazy

    July 3, 2026 · 51 min

  • things are very bad now....

    April 22, 2026 · 53 min

    My civil war prediction was RIGHT—both sides now openly discuss violence, leftists advocate murdering opponents, and every historic indicator points to collapse. But we haven't erupted because something VASTLY WORSE is happening: Mouse…

  • The Ten Great Macro-Cultures

    April 21, 2026 · 1 hr 10 min

    At 18, hiking the Appalachian Trail, I mapped humanity's cultural origins—discovering nearly ALL world cultures stem from just 10 historic events. These shared formative moments continue shaping nations' motivations and borders today. From…

  • Is the Woke Right Real?

    March 10, 2026 · 51 min

    James Lindsay's "woke right" concept claims far-right ideology loops back to radical leftism—collectivism, racialized worldviews, totalitarianism. After witnessing unprecedented right-wing radicalization since COVID (topics once completely…

  • the next ideology isn't what you think.

    November 21, 2025 · 1 hr 34 min

  • this entire reality is a lie

    November 1, 2025 · 1 hr 17 min

  • Modernity's Two Mythologies

    October 22, 2025 · 55 min

    Gustave Le Bon revealed that history runs on dreams, not logic—90% of humans merely rationalize their emotions. Every civilization projects fantasy ideals (Christian Heaven, Marxist Utopia, Valhalla) that animate their entire existence…

  • The Rise and Fall of California

    October 19, 2025 · 55 min

    Living through mythological events, we've lost the eyes to see them. California represents history's cautionary tale—a society blessed with EVERYTHING (perfect geography, unprecedented wealth, human capital) destroyed by a single variable…

  • why empathy is the meaning of life

    September 21, 2025 · 57 min

    I correctly predicted both woke tyranny AND the ugly right-wing backlash that's consuming online discourse today. Living through human "mouse utopia," people rationalize cruelty as anti-left revenge while lacking tools to distinguish…

    September 17, 2025 · 1 hr 2 min

    August 22, 2025 · 1 hr 3 min
