In the former Soviet Union, Yuri Andropov once imposed penalties for tardiness to the workspace and having the work-shy arrested for failing to show up to their workspaces. In the United States, young Americans with university degrees have trouble finding… Read More ›

Update: A (Re)Introduction to the “Economic Calculation Problem” (7 August 2021)
Conceptualizations of the Work-Standard and all of its specifications are going quite beautifully. True freedom and peace of mind only exists from within. No government, no legislative motion, no constitutional or legal code can ever guarantee that. This is where… Read More ›
Neither Utopia nor Dystopia: “Never Forget”
Personally, my patience for any dystopian Utopia and utopian Dystopia can be as dismal as my low opinions of them. Liberal Capitalism promises both at the same time to anyone willing to accept its ideas wholeheartedly. Certain Liberal Capitalist promises… Read More ›
Compendium: Taxation and the Work-Standard (Pt. III of III)

Heidegger ascertained the possibilities of Technology undermining the Dasein of everyday people as Beings-in-the-World. Whereas Spengler was arriving at his conclusions in Man… Read More ›
Ernst Jünger’s Der Arbeiter (Pt. VI of VII)
Just as Technology is an art requiring creativity and ingenuity, so it too does it pave the way for political-economic change. The conditions of Total Mobilization compel the need to alter the conception of the nation-state as a Western polity…. Read More ›
The Deconstruction of American Conservatism
Prior to the presidency of Donald Trump, why is there always something defining American Conservatism instead of nothing? Why believe that American Conservatism is somehow immune to a Heideggerian “Lichtung” (Clearing) that wipes the slate clean of its preconceived perceptions… Read More ›
