GK Chesteron, if you would no nothing else about him, wrote as the late nineteenth century’s and twentieth century Bronan (RIP). Sarcastic, sardonic, a clever wit, and an astute observer.  One could fill weeks and months reading and rereading the cleverness of Chesteron and be greatly blessed for having done so, yet in a single post a discriminating judgement can present only so very little, a penance of prose for your edification.  Chesterton wrote at the precipice as a conscious observer of the maladies that transpired to tarnish the West. Here from What Is Wrong With The World which contains an entire section of commentary of feminism.

But in this corner called England, at this end of the century, there has happened a strange and startling thing. Openly and to all appearance, this ancestral conflict has silently and abruptly ended; one of the two sexes has suddenly surrendered to the other. By the beginning of the twentieth century, within the last few years, the woman has in public surrendered to the man. She has seriously and officially owned that the man has been right all along; that the public house (or Parliament) is really more important than the private house; that politics are not (as woman had always maintained) an excuse for pots of beer, but are a sacred solemnity to which new female worshipers may kneel; that the talkative patriots in the tavern are not only admirable but enviable; that talk is not a waste of time, and therefore (as a consequence, surely) that taverns are not a waste of money. All we men had grown used to our wives and mothers, and grandmothers, and great aunts all pouring a chorus of contempt upon our hobbies of sport, drink and party politics. And now comes Miss Pankhhurst with tears in her eyes, owning that all the women were wrong and all the men were right; humbly imploring to be admitted into so much as an outer court, from which she may catch a glimpse of those masculine merits which her erring sisters had so thoughtlessly scorned.

Now this development naturally perturbs and even paralyzes us. Males, like females, in the course of that old fight between the public and private house, had indulged in overstatement and extravagance, feeling that they must keep up their end of the see-saw. We told our wives that Parliament had sat late on most essential business  but it never crossed our minds that our wives would believe it. We said that everyone must have a vote in the country; similarly our wives said that no one must have a pipe in the drawing-room. In both cases the idea was the same. “It does not matter much, but if you let those things slide there is chaos ”  WE said that Lord Huggins or Mr. Buggins was absolutely necessary to the country. We knew quite well that nothing is absolutely necessary to the country except that the men should be men and the women women. We knew this; we thought the women knew it even more clearly; and we thought the women would say it. Suddenly, without warning, the women have begun to say all the nonsense we ourselves hardly believed when we said it. The solemnity of politics; the necessity of votes; the necessity of Huggins; the necessity of Buggins; all these flow in a pellucid stream from the lips of all the suffragette speakers. I suppose in every fight, however old, one has a vague aspiration to conquer; but we never wanted to conquer women so completely as this.  We only expected that they might leave us a little more margin for our nonsense  we never expected that they would accept it seriously as sense.  . . .

Washington Irving’s Sketch Book
The other evening I was reading from Washington Irving’s Sketch Book, a collection of travel ruminations recorded by Irving before, after, and during a trip he took to Europe.  The work includes little anecdotes as well as his more well known stories of Ichabod and Rip Van Winkle. The anecdotes are the meat of it and what I was more interested in reading. The first to catch my full attention was a little tidbit about crossing the Ocean at the start of the 19th century. Irving describes himself staring into the waters as they sailed and his wondering about the creatures that he had read about and all their world below. 

I could not help but smile as we now have Planet Earth and other video recording an accurate picture of all the goings on in the deep blue. But then one must wonder if Irving had the advantage in such a case. As interesting, as fascinating as having such knowledge can be is there not something lost in not imagining what is under the crashing waves of the ocean.  Moreover, in flying and not sailing the sea, one is taken across the pond so quickly they the opportunity to wonder is hardly afforded.  The question becomes then does having this certainty, this assumption that one knows what is in the ocean, or that one knows what a cloud is, what causes the wind, or the nature of man for instance; does this certainty destroy the ability, or even the incentive, for questioning and for wondering about such things.

Let us assume for a moment that we could take Irving from the day he describes in his sketch book and transplant him onto a modern cruise ship. Were he to ponder out loud of the mystic kingdoms that could wait under the sea, or the majesty of the octopus or any other such fantastic rumination, who would not except some herb in cargo shorts to offer up his smart phone and youtube his way to oceanic video; in one sense he clarifies a lack of knowledge and yet in another he destroys a facility of wonder in locking in this certain picture of what under water must be.

All this carrying on must appear to have very little correspondence with the ‘sphere, yet the same thing happens to everyone brought up in the west. It is not only what lives under the sea but all blue pill knowledge that has a locked-in certainty.  All things are certain in the land of relativity and personal irresponsibility.  Is this not a wonder in itself? A culture that carries on about its openness where everyone’s idea are valid–but where all thoughts must fit within certain guidelines.  Who of the red-pilled initiates has not spoke in the moment a red pill truth and found either dumbfound silence, heated disagreement, or outright outrage? The assumption of certainty is foundational to blue-pill thought.

Thomas Carlyle
These thoughts had been in my mind for days, coming to the surface here and there to be toyed with a moment then put back away, when this morning I decided to do a little reading and picked up a copy of the Works of Thomas Carlyle.  I am not one to often read Carlyle for his thoughts, though they are not unprofitable, but his styling, the pure aesthetic pleasure of his wordsmithing, so outweighs the profundity that I often do not expect the weight of truth which is uncovered. This is what I read:

You remember that fancy of Plato’s, of a man who had grown to maturity in some dark distance, and was brought on a sudden into the upper air to see the sun rise. What would his wonder be, his rapt astonishment at the sight we daily witness with indifference! With the free open sense of a child, yet with the ripe faculty of a man, his whole heart would be kindled by that sight, he would discern it well to be Godlike, his soul would fall down in worship before it. Now, just such a childlike greatness was in the primitive nations. The first Pagan thinker among rude men, the first man that began to think, was precisely this child-man of Plato’s. Simple, open as a child, yet with the depth and strength of a man. Nature had as yet no name to him; he had not yet united under a name the infinite variety of sights, sounds, shapes, and motions, which we now collectively name Universe, Nature, or the like–and so with a name dismiss it from us. To the wild deep-hearted man all was yet new, not veiled under names or formulas; it stood naked, flashing in on him there, beautiful, awful, unspeakable. Nature was to this man, what to the Thinker and the Prophet it for ever is, preternatural. This green flowery rock-built earth, the trees, the mountains, rivers, many-sounding seas; –that great deep sea of azure that swims overhead; the winds sweeping through it; the black cloud fashioning itself together, now pouring out fire, now hail and rain; what is it? Ay, what? At bottom we do not yet know; we can never know at all. It is not by our superior insight that we escape the difficulty; it is by our superior levity, our inattention, our want of insight. It is by not thinking that we cease to wonder at it. Hardened round us, encasing wholly every notion we form, is a wrappage of traditions, hearsays, mere WORDS.

-Lectures on Heroes, Thomas Carlyle

And there it is the truth raised up from a century of dead men’s sighs. It is by not thinking that we cease to wonder. It is by an inundation an inculcation of mere words that the blue pill is poured in as an assumption of certainty. The world assumes its rightness by the mitigating chance that it has been told a thing, therefore that thing is true. It is the opposing force to Descartes’ dubito, ergo cogito, ergo sum*.  I hear, therefore I have thought, therefore it is.

Veritas numquam perit,
The Gentleman Poet

*I doubt, therefore I think, therefore I am – From Meditations on First Philosophy, Rene Descartes usually the first word dubito is elited from the quote “I think therefore I am,” this, however, misconstrues Descartes thought as it was only in doubting that he could acknowledge that he did in fact think.

Whenever I find myself nose deep in great writing from a century or more ago, before suffragettes and sexequalist slingers, I am remiss that these truths are made to be learned anew.  It is no longer true as Donne wrote, that no man is an island, for every man is an island as much as he is not.  The bell would toll for you were it to toll at all but it cannot toll when it is smelted for modern bells and whistles and the multitude of other distractions.

If I am not stopped I shall continue ranting into the morning. . . Where did all this begin?

Right. Ralph Waldo Emerson.  If you have been with us from the start you will recognize that the Society is a great fan. Today we bring a snippet from his essay on heroism, as defined by Emerson the ‘sphere is the embodiment of heroism.  I would agree. Enjoy:

“Our culture, therefore, must not omit the arming of the man. Let him hear in season, that he is born into the state of war, and that the commonwealth and his own well-being, require that he should not go dancing in the weeds of peace, but warned, self-collected, and neither defying nor dreading the thunder, let him take both reputation and life in his hand, and with perfect urbanity, dare the gibbet and the mob by the absolute truth of his speech, and the rectitude of his behavior.

Towards all this external evil, the man within the breast assumes a warlike attitude, and affirms his ability to cope single-handed with the infinite army of enemies. To this military attitude of the soul, we give the name Heroism. Its rudest form is the contempt for safety and ease, which makes the attractiveness of war. It is a self-trust which slights the restraints of prudence in the plentitude of its energy and power to repair the harms it may suffer. The hero is a mind of such balance that no disturbances can shake his will, but pleasantly, and , as it were, merrily, he advances to his own music, alike in frightful alarms, and in the tipsy mirth of universal dissoluteness.  There is somewhat not philosophical in heroism; there is somewhat not holy in it; it seems not to know that other souls are of one texture with it; it hath pride; it is the extreme of individual nature. Nevertheless, we must profoundly revere it. There is somewhat in great actions, which does not allow us to go behind them. Heroism feels and never reasons, and therefore is always right  and, although a difference breeding, different religion, and greater intellectual activity , would have modified, or even reversed the particular action, yet for the hero, that thing he does, is the slightest deed, and is not open to the censure of philosophers or divines  It is the avowal of the unschooled man, that he finds a quality in him that is negligent of expense, of health, of life, of danger, of hatred, of reproach, and that he knows that his will is higher and more excellent than all actual and all possible antagonists.

Heroism works in contradiction to the voice of mankind, and in contradiction, for a time, to the voice of the great and good. Heroism is an obedience to a secret impulse of an individual’s character. . .”

-RW Emerson, Heroism

 Veritas numquam perit,
The Poet

. . .Halfway through supper Prince Andrew leaned his elbows on the table, and with a look of nervous agitation such as Pierre had never before seen on his face, began to talk–as one who has long had something on his mind and suddenly determines to speak out.

“Never, never marry, my dear fellow! That’s my advice: never marry till you can say to yourself that you have done all you are capable of, and until you have ceased to love the woman of you choice and have sen her plainly as she is, or else you will make a cruel and irrevocable mistake. Marry when you are old and good for nothing–or all that is good and noble in you will be lost. It will all be lost on trifles. Yes! Yes! Yes! Don’t look at me with such surprise. If you marry expecting anything from yourself in the future you will feel at every step that for you all is ended, all is closed except the drawing room, where you will be ranged side by side with a court lackey and an idiot!. . . But what’s the good?”. . . and he waved his arm.

Pierre took of his spectacles, which made his face seem different and the good-natured expression still more apparent, and gazed at his friend in amazement.

“My wife,” continued Prince Andrew, “is an excellent woman, one of those rare women with whom a man’s honor is safe; but O God, what would I not give now to be unmarried! You are the first and only one to whom I mention this, because I like you.”

. . .

“You don’t understand why I say this,” he continued, “but it is the whole story of life. You talk of Bonaparte and his career,” said he–though Pierre had not mentioned Bonaparte, “but Bonaparte when he worked went step by step toward his goal. He was free, he had nothing but his aim to consider, and he reached it. But tie yourself up with a woman, and like a chained convict you lose all freedom! And all you have of hope and strength merely weighs you down and torments you with regret. Drawing rooms, gossip, balls, vanity, and triviality–these are the enchanted circle I cannot escape from. I am now going to the war, the greatest war there ever was, and I know nothing and am fit for nothing. I am very amiable to have a caustic wit,” continued Prince Andrew, “and at Anna Pavlovna’s they listen to me. And that stupid set without whom my wife cannot exist, and those women. . . If you only knew what those society women are, and women in general! My father is right. Selfish, vain, stupid, trivial in everything–that’s what women are when you see them in their true colors! When you meet them in society it seems as if there were something in them, but there’s nothing, nothing, nothing! No, don’t marry, my dear fellow; don’t marry.”

–War And Peace, Lev Tolstoy

Is it any wonder that such plain and good-natured truths are couched under the veil on contextual and literary criticism–these studies and those studies.  Were one to read plainly such things how could the walls of lies remain unbroken. heh.

So fellow ‘spherian reader this week I need your help.  Drop your favorite article this week in the comments; be it your own or someone else it will not matter.

Normally linkage is good for you.  This week make it good for me.

The other day I read this post by Jack Donovan and thought to myself that it was rather funny.  Who was going to pick that Tuesday was the day the banks chose the next president of the idiocracy.

Then this week happened.  I started doing real work for the first time since we moved.  Being off for two weeks to build a new apartment for myself, my wife and daughter, has been enjoyable, yet it was time to get back to the grind for the time.  The last two days have been twelve hours on, then two or three on the apartment and the rest of the week and weekend are looking to go about the same.

So at 8:30 tonight, I remember that the banks had chosen the president. Robomney won. . . how little difference does it make?

Anyway the purpose of this is to inform my fanatic readers that shy of linkage on Sunday this is it for the week.

Go forth and mourn, a nation of sheep have re-elected a wolf to feed them.

Margolis would ask each student to take a special assignment, such as a particular version or commentary and be responsible for its evidence. He told me on my first day in class to handle the Syriac version. ‘But I don’t know Syriac,’ I protested. He looked at me sternly and growled, ‘Where do you think you are? In a kindergarten? Go home and learn Syriac.’

Possibly, talking to Danny the other night spurned the thoughts on.  Whatever the cause I could not help but read this differently:

[He] would ask each student to take a special assignment, . . . He told me on my first day in class to handle [a women]. ‘But I don’t know [Game],’ I protested. He looked at me sternly and growled, ‘Where do you think you are? In a kindergarten? Go home and learn [Game].’

This is the purpose the cause. Some might call it fighting feminism, reverting draconian misandrist laws, counting notches, but what Game comes down to is handling women. Is this not what unites the ‘sphere. Ulysses er. . .Dr. Eric Stratton let me know when you nail down the new nomenclature.

Handling women. It is the bane of the PUA, the married man, the AFC ground through the system and spit out on the far side of alimony and child support.  Handling women. The foundation of Western civilization. Handled women.

This Margolis character hits the other nerve of the ‘sphere. Go and learn. Roosh nailed it. I haven’t the time at the moment to find the post, however, he wrote sometime back a parable of a teacher and his disciple. Go and do 100 apporach. Learn Spanish. Travel to Columbia. Then I will teach you Game.  The disciple returns having learned what he sought to have taught. That is the gist of it–drop the link if anyone knows what I’m rambling on about here. Go. And learn.

This is our strength. Even for those of us not as Fly as FFY, as notched as Roosh, as fastidious as Rollo, or as fucking hilarious as Bronan, those who remain go and learn.

Much garbage comes from Game-speak; the technical language of alpha-beta, AFC, bitch shields, negs, and hypergamy. There is much lost to pedantry, to what is alpha and what beta, to the nature of any number of wanked words aimed to hone precision on the uninitiated inviting them to come and see, as it were; however, who will doubt the prescience after their first bout of confident interaction with the darker sex–does 50 Shades not lend this appraisal of men as the fairer sex?

Were the ‘sphere not aimed at the lackluster half-man, the beta orbiters, the manginas and white knights, we would do without all these silly terms, but most men are very much like children: if they are to come to the light they must be brought to it slowly with words and concepts which they might easily grasp.

Those who love darkness will stay, to those who will, come and see.
