Didactic Mind, Ep 85: Going Galt

At long last, the Didactic Mind podcast returns! This week is all about the parallels between Ayn Rand's (in)famous magnum opus, Atlas Shrugged, and the daily realities of life under governments that hate us and want to see us persecuted and destroyed. I talk about "Going Galt" in terms of the way that Rand herself looked at the idea, and in terms of how it can be done in a proper Christian context. My conclusion here is that simply walking away from it all is not a solution, at all, and is certainly not in line with what we are called to do as Christians. Instead, I offer alternatives and solutions to help you get away from governments that clearly want you ground down, and which lie to you on a daily basis, just like the government bureaucrats in the novel do.

Didactic Mind, Ep 84: The Lungs of Hell

This week's podcast about the current mess we find ourselves in with respect to governments around the world arrogating to themselves powers that they were never supposed to have in the first place. I look at the core reasons as to why this is happening, and I provide you with some ideas about how to fight back, in a wide-ranging discussion that covers a number of different topics. I specifically spend a lot of time looking at Romans 1, which explains rather well exactly where and how this long series of disasters has come from.

Didactic Mind, Ep 83: The Scattering of the Ashes

The Didactic Mind podcast is finally BACK - after a 3-week or so delay, much to my regret, due to various (quite pleasant, actually) circumstances in my personal and professional life. The elapsed time has, however, proven fruitful, because a number of crazy things have happened in the past few weeks that provide us with PLENTY of material for discussion.
In this week's podcast, I talk about:
What the Fall of Kabul and the catastrophe in Afghanistan mean for the American Empire;
Why the USA is now essentially an empire at odds with a nation, with a Jewish-dominated ruling class that does not represent the core interests of the people of the nation;
How the Scamdemic and fake Coof Crisis may well have been manufactured to cover up a massive economic collapse;
Roughly how the American economic collapse might occur;
What the future holds as the world splinters into different factions;
Where Russia's and China's different interests lie;
... and much more.

Didactic Mind, Ep. 82: End of Empire

The Didactic Mind podcast is back to something approaching a sort-of-regular schedule again, and this week's episode is all about the sudden and quite dramatic collapse of America's failed Syracuse Expedition in Afghanistan. I talk about the roots of its failure, the lessons to be learned (which of course the American military will utterly fail to heed), the folly and stupidity and arrogance of Wilsonian interventionism, and the likely consequences for the Pax Americana. This episode is a bit shorter than usual, due to time constraints on my part, but hopefully by next week we will be back up to a full-length episode.

Didactic Mind, Ep 81: There Is No Running

The Didactic Mind podcast is BACK!!! And for this week's episode - the first in 2 months - I have a highly relevant series of topics lined up to discuss, including:
What it is like to have the Coof, or something like it;
How to confront the lies of this world;
The core attribute that sets Christianity apart from all other religions, which are based on works and not faith;
What the Scripture actually means when it says that our righteous deeds are as "unclean garments" to the Lord;
Most importantly and critically, I tell you the precise truth, the reality, that you must confront in order to deal with the soul-crushing heaviness that we all feel as Christians. Be warned, I go full-on fire-and-brimstone here with respect to obeying the lies of the world and valuing the world over the Word, so you might want to adjust your volume during those bits.
The key takeaway from all of this is:
Shut up, quit whining, and get in the fight.

Didactic Mind, Ep 80: The Mind Flayer

In this week's podcast, I talk a bit more about the hive-mind nature of evil, the ways in which evil seeks to control us, and the manner in which the work of Dr. Michael Heiser can help us to explain and understand the motive force behind the madness we see in the world today. I talk about why the plans of the Luciferians continually fall apart, and how you can do your part to ensure that those plans continue to fail.

Didactic Mind, Ep 79: The Izzlamic Dance

This week's podcast is quite a bit longer than usual, because it goes DEEP into the subject of historical criticism of Islam. I unpack much of the latest evidence that we have about the very obscure origins of Islam. Following the data and evidence that Dr. Jay Smith from Pfander Films has collected, I unpack the issue of Islam's origins through 5 specific polemical lines of attack - as he calls them, the 5 Qs:
The Qiblas;
The Qira'ats;
The Qur'an;
The Coins;
The Quest for Muhammad;
There is a HUGE amount to explore here, and I've barely scratched the surface. For the full details, check out the previous podcasts, readings, and links down below.

Didactic Mind, Ep 78: How to Start Your Own Heresy

We're back this week with a new episode of Didactic Mind, after a week off. Today I discuss the ways in which questioning the standard "Narrative" will get you labelled as a heretic, and why that is no bad thing. I talk about how many of the narratives that we take for granted are, in fact, absolute lies, and I discuss ways in which you can unpack those lies and get to the truth.

Didactic Mind, Ep 77: The Forge of Vulcan

Today I wax philosophical again about the nature of our tests and the reasons why we are tested to, and often beyond, our breaking points. I go through Biblical prophets from the Old Testament and examine how they were tested and broken, in order to do what God needed them to do. (I didn't have time to get to the Big Cheese Himself - probably should have arranged things a bit better there.) I weave in a bunch of Greek mythology about the forge-god Hephaestus (or Vulcan, for brevity's sake), and explain the process of forging that God uses to turn men into weapons. And I conclude with some brotherly advice and some exhortations for the men among us to do what is necessary in order to short-circuit that process of pain and suffering.

Didactic Mind, Ep 76: War Games

This week's episode is all about game theory and its profound and powerful application to politics. I use the lens of game-theoretic understanding to provide insights into why the Right keeps losing against the Left. As I point out in the podcast, the reason is basically because we of the Right refuse to act in accordance with optimal and sensible strategies for beating the Left and maximising our own gains. Cuckservatives do so consistently and constantly because they are terrified of being called "-ists" and "-phobes" of any kind. This leads them to act in ways that consistently favour the Left. Once you understand these patterns of behaviour, and you know what to look for, you can find ways of overwhelming the Left's formidable intelligence, cunning, and fighting skill through stratagems and methods designed specifically to wipe out their defences.
Learn and understand some basic game theory, and you will prosper significantly.
