This Week in Reaction

I guess “This Week in Reaction” is not going to be a very good name, because there’s just too much stuff going on to wait a whole week. But as my old HS math teacher, Mr. Toland, used to say when asked why is it called an hyperbola, “It’s like they call a cow, a cow!”

This “week” in reaction….

Bonald, professional scientist and non-profit traditionalist, deftly swings both axes to cut a wide swath through modern psychology.

Jim Donald notes that Richwine, sent by the “conservative” Heritage Foundation to a TBD Reeducation Camp for desecrating “science” by using it for insufferable bigotry and being a racist asshole, probably low-balled the net costs of low IQ immigration.

Raptros is in a bit of a hurry.

The prolific Sharlach, linguist and neoreactionary, has some great stuff on language (also here) and the power of bowdlerization via critique.

Another reliably and absolutely fantastic issue 2.6 of Radish Magazine on the radical traditionalism of modern prophet Julius Evola. As it is written in Deuteronomy 18:18-22 (Douay-Rheims)

I will raise them up a prophet out of the midst of their brethren like to thee: and I will put my words in his mouth, and he shall speak to them all that I shall command him.

And he that will not hear his words, which he shall speak in my name, I will be the revenger.

But the prophet, who being corrupted with pride, shall speak in my name things that I did not command him to say, or in the name of strange gods, shall be slain.

And if in silent thought thou answer: How shall I know the word that the Lord hath not spoken?

Thou shalt have this sign: Whatsoever that same prophet foretelleth in the name of the Lord, and it cometh not to pass: that thing the Lord hath not spoken, but the prophet hath forged it by the pride of his mind: and therefore thou shalt not fear him.

That’s it for now… til next “week”… The Reactivity Place, Over and Out.
