The Dark Side of Progress
Eating AnimalsJonathan Safran FoerNew york: Little, Brown and Company 2009Why do we behave morally? There’s reciprocity and looking out for our genes. For many (most, I hope) of us there’s a natural dislike of cruelty. We try not to be responsible for any extra suffering in the world. Humans also desire approval from others and usually being a scoundrel isn’t good for your...

Why an Alternative Right Is Necessary
In 2009, Human Events named its “Conservative of the Year.” Their choice hadn’t passed an important piece of legislation. He didn’t write a philosophical treatise on conservative principles. His selection had nothing to do with his position on healthcare, the economy, gun rights, immigration, or affirmative action. Dick Cheney became America’s most...

The Last Racialists
The Cleanest Race: How North Koreans See Themselves and Why It MattersB. R. MyersBrooklyn: Melville House, 2010It’s always seemed to me that if human beings were naturally more inclined to buy into a blood based nationalism than some kind of universalistic ideology than this would be strong evidence that racial loyalty had a genetic basis. According to B. R. Myers in The...

Conservatism Means War, Zionism, & Torture
Human Events has named Dick Cheney as their Conservative of the Year. They found John Bolton to write the article, the only person more insane than receiver of the award.How is it, therefore, that someone who has no political ambitions can cause so much angst at the White House and in the mainstream news media? The irrefutable answer is that what Cheney is saying, primarily on...

Answering Objections to Eugenics
Whenever I tell people I favor eugenics they tell me that the state shouldn’t have such power. One thing that’s overlooked is that it already does. As Hernstein and Murray wrote in The Bell Curve:we are as apprehensive as most other people about what might happen when a government decides to social-engineer who has babies and who doesn’t. We can imagine no recommendation...

The Holocaust Industry: Reflections on the Exploitation of Jewish SufferingSecond EditionNorman FinkelsteinNew York: Verso, 2003If you’re like me and have been through the American education system, you as a child may have never learned a word of Greek or Latin, the history of the Bible or been assigned to read a work by a great philosopher. You probably do remember, however,...

A Critique of Ayn Rand on Race
Today I read Any Rand’s 1963 essay “Racism.” I had read Atlas Shrugged as a teenager. It was a little too absolutist for me but I called myself a libertarian for years afterward and still do to a great extent. I find the argument that the vast majority of what states do is coercion convincing, but I can’t completely accept Rand’s morality. Once a person has...

Twilight of the Godless
From Taki’s Magazine, November 3, 2009Feminism is a Darwinian blind alley. In biological terms, there is nothing that identifies a maladaptive pattern so quickly as a below-replacement level of reproduction; an immediate consequence of feminism is what appears to be an irreversible decline in the birth rate. Nations pursue feminist policies at their peril.~Katarina...

Hereditary Genius: An Inquiry into its Laws and Consequences
From The Occidental Observer, October 31, 2009Folk knowledge that “like breeds like” and theories on heredity have been around since at least the time of Plato. People have tended to notice that children look and behave like their parents. It was only after the 1859 publication of Charles Darwin’s On the Origin of Species that the question of where contemporary breeding...
