General posts that are not about any topic in particular.
I want to illustrate something with some comments that you might have seen. The first set is here from Jack @ Sigma Frame (emphasis added): The second is from Sharkly here on this blog (emphasis added): Both of these are answered in this comment: Simple and elegant. Irony.
This is the follow up to “A Decree to Rebuild.” I read a lot of Bruce Charlton’s writings and frequently quote his work. He’s very good at getting at the root of problems, rather than dealing with the surface-level distractions. I apologize in advance for this lengthy quote, but it …
The Death Cult I’ve been writing about bureaucracy for years. I have an index of this in “The Decline of Society.” Indeed, in December, 2019, I wrote this: The point of this comment is that the institutions—all of them—are not there to help us, but that inherent evil that is …

In my “Review: The Path is Very Long” I made some claims about Radix Fidem that some of my readers might question whether or not they are accurate portrayals. Fortunately, Catacomb Resident published “Academic Faith” only a few hours after I published that review. Perhaps it was even a response …
