On July 24th, 2024, eleven days after the (first) Trump assassination attempt, I posted the following prediction: 8. There will be a major shakedown of the administrative state in the first 100 days of Trump’s second term. It hasn’t been 100 days yet, but enough has transpired that this prediction has certainly come true. Which… Continue reading Did I predict it?

Five things I did at work last week
So apparently DOGE’s “what are five things you did at work last week” is now an ongoing weekly task, which I am heartily in favor of, at least until the Trump Administration’s reforms to the executive branch are complete. The best counter-argument for this policy that I’ve heard so far comes from Cal Newport, who… Continue reading Five things I did at work last week

Generational Turnings and the Great American Revival
One of the shows that I listen to fairly regularly is Steve Deace, and a couple of days ago he had an interesting discussion about The Fourth Turning and Strauss & Howe’s generational theory. It’s worth giving a listen, if you’re interested in that kind of stuff. What really interested me, though, is how the… Continue reading Generational Turnings and the Great American Revival
Canada is SICK (and so are we)
One of the most fascinating podcast interviews I’ve seen in a long time. Throws me back to A Canticle for Leibowitz, one of the best works of science fiction to come out of the 19th century.
Did I predict it?
On July 24th, 2024, eleven days after the (first) Trump assassination attempt, I posted the following predictions: 3. Biden will be removed from office via the 25th amendment, and Harris will become the 47th President. On this one, I was clearly wrong. I thought that the Democrats would do the right thing and remove an… Continue reading Did I predict it?
The Great American Revival is beginning
Saw this in a news article, thought it was worth posting, especially as it has more than 10k likes only 24 hours after it was posted. I will share more signs of the brewing revival as I encounter them. For more of my thoughts, check out this post here.
A fascinating take on cultural trends from a fashion CEO
I was not expecting to get as much out of this podcast as I did. Triggernometry is a fantastic long-form podcast, and the guest for this one is the guy who made the suits for Jordan Peterson, among other people. He has some fascinating insights into our current culture and where, from his view, it… Continue reading A fascinating take on cultural trends from a fashion CEO
Thoughts on the Israel-Iran War
I know that it’s been just a week since I said I would post less about politics and current events, but the events of the past week are so Earth-shattering that I really can’t hold back. First, yesterday’s 200+ missile strike on Israel by Iran. For me, the scariest footage I’ve seen so far was… Continue reading Thoughts on the Israel-Iran War
What About Ezra’s Eagle?
Several years ago, I wrote a blog post about the Ezra’s Eagle prophecy, which has somehow become the #2 search result for that term on Google. As a result, I’ve been getting hundreds of views on that blog post every weekâand whenever Glenn Beck or some other conservative media commentator discusses the apocryphal prophecy, I… Continue reading What About Ezra’s Eagle?
