I discovered you yesterday. Themes of speaking for truth, sacrifice and being killed for the truth (tale of 2 cities). With the horrific killing of Charlie Kirk, you have prepared me to be of truth even to the point of death. Thanks for reviewing books that are relevant for truth from Dostoevsky, Dickens, Orwell, Solzhenitsyn and many more. You are timely and right on. Western civilization needs a voice and a few guides to embrace so much truth, beauty and goodness

Thank you Dr! I’m glad you’ve found these posts helpful amongst such unfortunate times. Dark as they are, we can rest assured the True, Good, and Beautiful are always pointing us back home 🙏

Life is defined by contention. It’s only by that contrast can one appreciate the positive from the negative. Contention of various degrees is through which one grows and life is enriched.

Strange. I reread Brave New World from here within the war and I was more glad to be here within it. We can see what is happening outside and our reality has shown us how feeble it all is. Great review and insight. Try Berdyaev, you might like his insights
