For Homer, Athena is the coming together of every force necessary for heroic action to conquer the moment at hand. She is an ethical approach to life, one unburdened by a necessarily moralistic conformity to Form and Tradition.

The Revolt? No, ma’am. I’m Revolting.
Drunken Exposition on Imperium Europa On October 30, 2013 Dana Roccapriore hosted me for an episode of his radio show Imperium Europa. Dana asked some familiar questions about my time in Rome and my essays published at Counter-Currents, but also allowed me space to expound upon my current work and its relation to the revolutionary… Continue Reading
A sickness, perhaps
A sickness perhaps In the wake of my last paper published by Counter-Currents, a funny thing happened: I needed to get outside, to leave the books and computer, to allow my instincts something beyond toil. I suppose this is only funny in the context of my last paper (“Nietzsche, Physiology, and Transvaluation”), which was an… Continue Reading

Coming Soon: Overcoming the Bourgeois Mind and Body
Having just submitted part three of my series on vitality to Counter-Currents, I have two minutes in which to reflect upon my achievement.

Still,… Continue Reading
Recently published: Lycurgus and the Spartan State
Counter-Currents has published the second part of my series on vitality. Sparta is of interest to men like us for obvious reasons. But, while 300 has made it’s warrior culture a central romantic narrative of the New Right, little is actually known about the content of the Spartan warrior state. Although this paper primarily seeks… Continue Reading
Comments as Ochlocracy
This morning provided yet another example of the depth and beauty of life in the company of Nietzsche. Even though I have a small-fortune in books – grad school was just another way to feed my voracious appetite for reading, you see – none of them provide a gratification as instant and profound as I… Continue Reading
Recently Published: Mussolini’s New Fascist Man
Counter-Currents has agreed to serialize the paper I have been co-writing with Nick Fiorello on the links between bodily and conceptual vitality. Part One, examining the ideas of the Fascist ethical and organic state, is now available. Part Two, which details the lengths to which Lycurgan Sparta went to ensure the nobility of its citizenry,… Continue Reading
