"A Look to the Heavens"
“Sculpted by stellar winds and radiation, a magnificent interstellar dust cloud by chance has assumed this recognizable shape. Fittingly named the Horsehead Nebula, it is some 1,500 light-years distant, embedded in the vast Orion cloud complex.
About five light-years "tall", the dark cloud is cataloged as Barnard 33 and is visible only because its obscuring dust is silhouetted against the glowing red emission nebula IC 434. Stars are forming within the dark cloud. Contrasting blue reflection nebula NGC 2023, surrounding a hot, young star, is at the lower left. The gorgeous color image combines both narrowband and broadband images recorded using three different telescopes.”

“Strange”
by Chet Raymo
“In a review in the “New York Times” Book Review, Daniel Handler writes: “And strange? Well, let’s get this straight: All great books are strange. Every lasting work of literature since the very weird “Beowulf” has been strange, not only because it grapples with the strangeness around us, but also because the effect of originality is startling, making even the oldest books feel like brand new stories.”
Strange: Out-of-the-ordinary, unusual, curious. “The strangeness around us,” says Handler. There is a paradox here. What could be less strange than the world around us? It is the same world that was here yesterday, and the day before that. More to the point: It is a world ruled by law. Inviolable causal bonds. That’s what makes science possible.
And yet, and yet. I walk wary. Strangeness lurks on ever side. Strangeness leaps out of every pebble in the path, every wildflower, every spider web flung between weedy stalks. In the midst of the utterly ordinary the extraordinary abounds. Nothing is so commonplace as to be common. The strangeness of the world, as in literature, has its source in the head, in the convoluted interaction of mind with world. Strange, that we should be here, strangers in a strange land, pilgrims on our own yellow brick roads where nothing is ordinary because everything is perceived through the filter of a unique consciousness.
And strange? Well, let’s get this straight. I hope never to lose the capacity to see the strangeness in the familiar, the curious in the everyday, the exception in the unexceptional.
“I do not expect a miracle,
or an accident,
to set the sight on fire...”
wrote Silvia Plath. Just being here is enough. Just being here is surpassing strange.”

Delta King's Blues,
"Ain't Wasting What I Got Left"
"We don’t have to stay young… just stay together. “Ain’t Wasting What I Got Left” is a soulful Delta blues song about growing older, protecting your peace, and refusing to spend the years you have left on pointless arguments, fake friendships, and unnecessary drama. Told through the eyes of a seventy-year-old bluesman, it’s a reminder to call the people you love, take the trip, enjoy the sunset, and live while there’s still time. A gentle acoustic guitar carries the melody like an old man’s slow walk at sunset. The harmonica sighs soft and low, like memories drifting through warm southern air. The rhythm moves slow and steady - the kind of blues made for porch swings, fading sunlight, and hands that still find each other after all these years. Because sometimes the real blues isn’t about heartbreak... it’s about a love that stayed. Grandpa’s been around long enough to know: the best love story isn’t the loudest one - it’s the one that keeps going. Growing old ain’t so bad… if you ain’t doing it alone."
"We Never Know..."
"We never know when our last day on earth will be. So, love with full sincerity, believe with true faith, and hope with all of your might. Better to have lived in truth and discovered life, than to have lived half heartedly and died long before you ever ceased breathing."
- Cristina Marrero

“'Law' As A Mind Trick"
“'Law' As A Mind Trick"
by Paul Rosenberg
"About half the time it is used, the word “law” is fairly close to a mind trick, and there is nothing noble, righteous, or even ‘conservative’ in that. More or less all of us were pushed into the trick, which complicates things because people don’t like to admit anything that smells like a mistake.
Having been taught, repeatedly, to “respect the law,” nearly all of us have decided certain things must be right, simply because they were “the law.” We decided this, not because we understood the benefits that would follow certain actions, but because of repetitive prodding. And so it’s important to be clear on this: To uncritically, reflexively obey is not respect. Respect requires understanding.
Our habitual obedience, as it happens, came largely from intimidation: Obey, or else teacher will shame you; the other kids will laugh at you; important people will criticize you in public. Please note all of these are primitive, degrading reasons, but they were thrust upon us as children and they very often stuck.
The really damaging part, however, comes after you obey out of fear: when you justify your past actions. Again, not many of us enjoy admitting our errors, but if we want to become honest, conscious adults, that is precisely what we need to do.
There’s Law, and Then There’s Law: In the modern West, particularly in the US, there are two different kinds of law (common law and statute law). Unfortunately they are usually rolled up together and placed under a single tag. That’s a major part of this problem.
If the early days of Western civilization, law was simply the process of determining what was just. Law was considered good if it were reasonable, fair, and had stood the test of time. And that’s all. Law, in the old days, was developed locally, and judges were simply trusted men who reasoned well. The form we in the English-speaking world know best was the common law of England, and it was precisely this type of law. In fact, the historical record shows early English kings having to adopt customary law.
To understand how law based on reason and experience turned into what we have now, this needs to be grasped: Until recent times, law was not legislation. I know this is contrary to what you’ve understood, but it’s true all the same. Legislation is primarily a modern invention. Law in the old days was not made by politicians or even by princes (those were edicts). Law was, as we said above, the process of determining what was just. The common law was created and updated by judges, not by legislators.
To buttress this point, consider that when English philosopher Jeremy Bentham died in 1832, he was revered as “the founder of modern legislation.” I won’t belabor this point, but consider these two statements, please:
Legislation displaces law that is based upon reason and experience.
Legislation is the edict of politicians.
Under legislation, reason and experience are not required. Politicians create this type of law and can change it on a whim.
So…Is it sensible to worship the words of people we also condemn? And if we hold those words above critical thought, are we not holding them above reality? Is that not a kind of idolatry? We idolized law because we were trained to, of course, but we’re adults now; we should correct the errors of our youth. The law of reason and experience always stands, simply because it is reasonable and useful. An uncritical respect for legislation, on the other hand, requires us to bypass our minds and sacrifice our will."
"The Twilight Zone"
"The Twilight Zone"
by Jeff Thomas
"Imagine if you will, a situation in which the economy of a nation is overdue to experience an economic collapse of epic proportions, but remains endlessly at the brink. Every day, a collapse is more likely, yet the economic house of cards remains in a state of suspended animation. Some people become increasingly edgy, while others become more complacent. Only a few choose to actually prepare for what’s coming. An impossible situation? Yes. But we’d be well-advised to recognize that it couldn’t only occur… in the Twilight Zone.
For those old enough to remember "The Twilight Zone," the quirky "what if" American television program, this episode introduction by host Rod Serling would seem to fit right into the show’s format. The program ran from 1959 to 1964, presenting somewhat unreal twists on the normal world we live in. Each episode would examine how people would deal with the episode’s situation and generally end with a moral lesson from Mr. Serling as to the nature of mankind. Strangely, the above episode, as unlikely as it might have seemed a mere decade ago, is playing out in real life.
Stocks are climbing in price, whilst dividends are in decline or, for some of the fastest-growing companies, non-existent. Bonds are a worse bet, yet a bond bubble of epic proportion exists. The world’s governments are dumping US debt, yet the Fed is buying billions of dollars of debt each month. Indeed, debt is now growing at least twice as fast as the economy that must pay for it.
Quantitative Easing was invented to bail out banks in 2008, but continues to this day, long after the problem was claimed to have ended. Benefits from Welfare and Social Security programs are at an all-time high, yet they’re underfunded to the point of certain collapse in the near future, independent of the other impending economic calamities. Meanwhile, multiple unnecessary wars are being waged at a staggering cost to a nation that’s already insolvent, yet additional countries are being threatened with possible warfare if they don’t "behave."
We’re in the extraordinary situation of being in the longest boom period in history, yet there’s no real boom, only the illusion of one. At such a time, it would be predictable that those who have become worried would flood toward precious metals, as they have done for thousands of years, whenever the economic situation became untenable. Yet only a tiny portion of the world’s population are doing so.
Never in history have the major economies of the world been in an economic bubble that includes virtually everything. And yet, incredibly, this situation has existed for over a decade. Technically, we’ve been in a depression since 2007 and yet the bubble that should have burst back then simply keeps growing.
So, does this mean that the age of crashes is over, that the bubble can expand forever without bursting? Well, no. The bubble will most certainly burst, and the more inflates, the worse the eventual debacle will be. We’re therefore in a state of suspended animation, waiting for the shoe to drop.
Some of the best economic minds began to warn about the coming crash as its causes began to take shape decades ago. And almost to a man, they predicted that it would have taken place already, at least five years ago. But how might they have estimated a possible date for such an event? Economic crashes are notoriously difficult to pin down as to timing.
Well, all of them (and here I must include myself) made the assumption that conditions would have become so economically unsupportable by now that surely a collapse would have been a virtual certainty. And in this we were conceptually correct. Where we were mistaken was that all logic supported the assumption that, once conditions had reached that point, money would begin to exit the system, ensuring a crash.
Historically, this is always what happens. When a crash is near, the smart money makes an exit. Yet, this time around, whenever money has left the system, it has been replaced by dramatically increased debt, obscuring the fact that the smart money has begun its exit. Therefore, we’ve continued to appear as though we remain in a boom – the longest boom in history. Unfortunately, the vast majority of people are unable to recognize the plethora of signs that are indicating that the economy has been hollowed out. In addition, stats like inflation and unemployment have been fudged ever since the Clinton administration, to mislead the population into believing that they’ve not risen to depression levels.
The icing on the cake has been that the media – 80% of which are owned by the same six Deep State corporations – deliver a daily message that the economy is on the rise and the public should "buy, buy, buy!" Not surprisingly, those who provided an early warning to the coming economic crisis are regularly told, "You’ve been crying, ‘Wolf!’ for years. The crash hasn’t happened. You were wrong." And this criticism is not unearned. There’s no question that the timing has been prolonged beyond all expectations. However, the fundamentals remain the same and, today, are far more pronounced than they were in 2007.
Back then, we expected a small crash, which did occur, followed by the "eye of the hurricane," a quiet period of three to five years when a false recovery would take place. That "eye" proved to be artificially expanded by the Deep State’s diverse players, to the ultimate detriment of virtually all people. The second, major crash – predicted prior to 2007 to occur several years after the 2007 minor crash – is not only still looming; it’s more certain than ever before. The fundamentals remain the same and will reach their logical conclusion. To be sure, this has led those economists who have been tracking the pending economic debacle for decades, to have the sensation of suspended animation for several years.
Not surprising then, that the present state of affairs seems like an episode of The Twilight Zone, with the unfortunate twist that this is not a television show; it’s an artificially delayed reality. Whether it’s groceries, medical care, tuition, or rent, it seems the cost of everything is rising. It’s an established trend in motion that is accelerating, and now approaching a breaking point. At the same time, the world is facing a severe crisis on multiple fronts."

"The Reckoning of 2028: Civilization’s Ledger Is Bleeding Red,
and the Global Economy Is Closer to Collapse Than Anyone Wants to Admit"
by Milan Adams:
Excerpt: "Walk through the financial districts of London, New York, or Singapore at six in the evening, and you’ll catch the last act of a performance that grows harder to maintain by the quarter. The tailored suits still stream from glass towers into black cars. The conversations still touch on market adjustments and projections. But watch closely, and you’ll notice the strain. There’s a tightness around the eyes now, a rehearsed quality to the optimism. The numbers on their screens say one thing. The price of milk, rent, and diesel say another.
We’ve built an elaborate choreography around the idea that currency holds its value. Yet somewhere between 2019 and now, that assumption quietly fractured. A dollar doesn’t travel as far as it once did. It buys less bread, less time, less security. Central bankers have their explanations ready - inflation is transitory, supply chains are healing, the economy is resilient. But walk through a supermarket in Stuttgart, a gas station in Phoenix, a pharmacy in Manchester, and you’ll feel the truth your paycheck already knows. The purchasing power hasn’t just eroded; it’s evaporated, and official metrics barely capture the half of it.
The arithmetic is brutal when you look at it directly. Global debt has climbed to roughly $315 trillion. That’s not a percentage point on a chart. That’s a claim on future labor so vast it would take several generations working at full capacity just to service the interest, never mind the principal. In Washington, the federal government now borrows about $5 billion every twenty-four hours to keep the lights on. Weekends included. No holidays. The interest alone will swallow roughly $2 trillion this fiscal year. That’s more than the entire defense budget. More than all discretionary spending combined. These figures come from the Treasury Department itself, buried in reports that few bother to read.
Since 2008, and with terrifying acceleration during the pandemic years, monetary expansion has become the silent thief in everyone’s pocket. The Federal Reserve’s balance sheet hovered below $1 trillion in 2008. By 2022, it had ballooned to nearly $9 trillion. Even after some reduction, it sits above $7 trillion. This wasn’t money earned or produced. It was conjured through digital ledger entries, diluting every existing dollar in circulation. Official inflation numbers - those seven to nine percent figures you see in headlines - exclude the categories that actually determine whether families make it to the end of the month. Add housing, energy, and food back in, and you’re looking at fifteen to twenty percent erosion of purchasing power over five years. Ask any wage earner. They’ll tell you the official numbers feel like fiction.
Energy tells its own story, and it’s not the one politicians prefer. Despite all the transition rhetoric, the global economy still runs on hydrocarbons. The investment required to maintain current production simply hasn’t materialized. In the United States, the Strategic Petroleum Reserve has been drawn down to levels not seen since the 1980s - not for emergencies, but to manage political optics and prevent price spikes that might trigger unrest. Meanwhile, the easy oil is gone. What’s left requires more energy to extract, more capital to process. Major fields discovered decades ago are declining faster than new discoveries can replace them. By 2027, conservative estimates suggest demand will outstrip sustainable supply by several million barrels daily. Renewable infrastructure cannot scale fast enough to close that gap. The physics don’t care about our timelines.
The Portrait in Numbers: Let’s try to make $315 trillion concrete. If each dollar were a grain of sand, you’d fill about 120 Olympic swimming pools. That’s the debt sitting on balance sheets worldwide, earning interest, demanding service, compounding while we sleep. Every second, it grows by roughly $350,000 in new obligations. Every minute, $21 million. Every hour, $1.26 billion. The mathematics doesn’t negotiate. It doesn’t respond to political will or optimistic speeches.
Velocity matters too. In 1999, a single dollar of monetary base supported about $12 of economic activity. By 2023, that same dollar supported barely $3. Currency has grown sluggish, accumulating in asset markets where it inflates real estate and equity prices without building actual productive capacity. The wealth effect central banks tried to engineer - rising asset prices stimulating consumption - instead produced a split economy. Asset holders watch their portfolios swell while wage earners watch their real incomes shrink. In the United States, the top one percent now holds more wealth than the bottom ninety percent combined. We haven’t seen concentration like this since 1929. Economies need circulation. When capital pools at the apex, it stops moving. It stops working.
Look at the banking sector, supposedly fortified after 2008. Regional banks in the United States carry massive exposure to commercial real estate, a sector facing structural decline as remote work permanently reduces office demand. Estimated losses exceed $400 billion, concentrated in institutions without reserves deep enough to absorb them. The Federal Reserve’s emergency lending facilities see increasing use - not for routine liquidity management, but for solvency support that masks deeper problems. Liquidity issues are cash flow mismatches; time and bridging can fix them. Solvency issues mean your assets are worth less than your obligations. That’s permanent impairment. And we’ve been papering over it with accounting flexibility and regulatory forbearance.
Energy requires looking through thermodynamics, not just economics. A barrel of oil extracted in 1950 yielded about 100 barrels of equivalent energy for every barrel spent getting it out of the ground. Today, conventional oil manages perhaps 20-to-1. Shale and tar sands run below 5-to-1. That surplus energy - the energy available beyond mere subsistence - is what built modern complexity. As that ratio declines, the complexity it supports becomes harder to maintain. Renewables help, but they cannot replicate fossil fuel energy density and storage at the scale our economy demands. Transition, if it happens, means less energy available. Less energy means less economic activity. The conversation rarely acknowledges this trade-off."

"The Troublesome Ten"
"The Troublesome Ten"
by Arthur Silo
"One of the most significant societal factors of social media is that it tends to amplify voices that are far outside of the mainstream and creates the mirage that those voices are the mainstream. That has been on full display with the Lindsay Clancy obscenity that has been playing out on Instagram and TikTok and Twitter. Women have been getting weirder, both from the perspective of men and non-crazy women, for a long time but something seemed to snap with women siding with a mother that not only murdered her three kids but planned it out ahead of time and then carried out the murders by strangling each child one by one.
Most of us, including yours truly, haven’t killed anyone apart from the former military/LEOs in the audience. I have thought about what it would be like and it isn’t a generally pleasant prospect (with some notable exceptions) but even then it usually is something you expect to do with a firearm.
Stabbing someone or beating them to death with a club is more up close and personal than a firearm. To quote Arnold in "Commando": "Come on Bennett, throw away the chicken shit gun, you don’t just want to pull the trigger, you want to put the knife in me, and look me in the eye, and see what’s going on in there when you turn it. That’s what you want to do, right?"
But strangling someone to death, wrapping your hands around their throat and of necessity looking at them as you kill them, watching their life drain away at your hands, is something very different indeed. When the people you are strangling are not just helpless little children but your own helpless little children, dying at the hands of the one person above all others in the world that they should trust without hesitation at that age? It is monstrous beyond anything I can imagine and the people who clamor their support for Lindsay Clancy on social media are every bit as monstrous, with most looking exactly like you would expect.
I don’t have much more to say about Clancy that hasn’t been said already and better than I could. What I do want to look at are the broader applications that we can draw from the fact that a not-insignificant number of people, far fewer than you would think based on social media but real nevertheless, who can justify or excuse the most brutal possible murders of three small children by their own mother.
I am an unabashed advocate for my people, my people being actual White people. Nevertheless, I am also a realist as being a realist is one of the foundational principles of being on what, for lack of a better term, is called the “Dissident Right” (see: "The Essence Of Dissident Politics").
As a result of being a realist, I recognize that there is a percentage of my people that are hopelessly, irredeemably lost. Not in a soteriological sense but in a practical sense. These are people that have not simply been programmed by propaganda for decades and have a hard time shaking it, the ranks of the irredeemable Whites are those who have welcomed and embraced the propaganda, guzzling the anti-White poison and asking for seconds. These people will never be persuaded of the wrongness of hating your own people, your very family. They don’t simply accept the anti-White bigotry, they wallow in it like an animal in their own filth.
As I pointed out at the beginning, social media gives people with loud opinions a platform where their voice is amplified in ways unthinkable when most of us were younger. There were plenty of fools, maniacs and self-created retards of course but you didn’t hear much from them, just as there were men who dressed like women but unless you were hanging around seedy parks in big cities you just didn’t see them. Now we see them. Oh boy do we see them.
Even still, it is really a pretty small percentage. I have arbitrarily decided that ten percent catches the worst of the worst among Whites, the irredeemable types, what I have dubbed The Troublesome Ten.
But…There are around 196 million Whites in America. Ten percent is still nearly 20 million people. We can further reduce that number by assuming a lot of Whites are either children or the elderly but even with that I would estimate that there are north of ten million legitimate White people in this country that cannot be redeemed and many of them, should the expected collapse happen, would not only not side with Whites but likely against us.
One of the toughest things about being a White racial advocate and a race realist is accepting that many of our people simply won’t be saved. They cannot be convinced and in many cases are likely to side against us. I might even be hopelessly optimistic that the percentage is only ten percent.
What keeps me going is the much larger percentage, at least I hope it is much larger, that is somewhere on a spectrum but heading our way, at a glacially slow pace to be sure but still moving. In our own nation we are already numerically at a disadvantage as there are more non-Whites living here than Whites when you factor in 20, 30 or 50 million illegals, and the non-Whites are on average much younger than Whites and far less hesitant to engage in violence.
That means that we need every White person we can get to wake the eff up and start to think racially. It is taxing and frustrating and rarely rewarding but it is work that needs to be done. All the while we must be equally diligent in hardening our hearts. To save many, we might just have to kill some. When the time comes there can be no mercy for race traitors."

The sandstone arches of the Double Arch were formed from the erosion of falling water. The larger arch rises over 30 meters above the surrounding salt bed and spans close to 50 meters across. The dark silhouettes across the image bottom are sandstone monoliths left over from silt-filled crevices in an evaporated 300 million year old salty sea. A dim flow created by light pollution from Moab, Utah can also be seen in the distance.”

Chet Raymo, “Cosmic View”
“Cosmic View”
by Chet Raymo
“When writing about Philip and Phylis Morrison’s “Powers of Ten” the other day I found I had made the following notation in the flyleaf, perhaps a dozen or more years ago:
Britannica
32 volumes
1000 pages per vol
1200 words per page
5 letters/wd
= 200 million letters. So, 200 million letters in the 32 volume set of the Encyclopedia Britannica. Why was I making that estimate? I can think of several possibilities. Perhaps…
1. I was making a comparison with the number of nucleotide pairs in the human DNA; that is, the number of steps- ATTGCCCTAA, etc.- on the double-helix. If the information on the human genome- an arm’s length of DNA in every human cell- were written out in ordinary type, it would fill 15 sets of the Encyclopedia Britannica. Nearly 500 thick volumes of information labeled YOU. Think of that for a moment. Fifteen 32-volume sets of the Encyclopedia Britannica in every invisibly-small cell of your body. And every time a cell reproduces, all of that information has to be transcribed correctly. Did I say the other day that it took a semester to stretch the imagination to grasp the universe of the galaxies? It could take another semester to stretch the imagination to grasp the scale of the molecular machinery that makes our bodies work.
Or maybe…
2. I was trying to give an insight into the complexity of the human brain. There are something like 100 billion nerve cells in the brain. That’s equivalent to the number of letters in 500 sets of the Britannica! Each many-fingered neuron connects to hundreds of other neurons, and each synaptic connection might be in one of many levels of excitation. I’ll let you calculate the number of potential states of the human brain. We’ve left behind the realm of Britannica. Even talking of libraries would be insufficient. I was marveling here recently about the amount of digital memory Google must command to store all of those 360-degree Street View images from all over the planet, all of it instantly retrievable by anyone with access to a computer and the internet. I imagined banks and banks of electronics in some cavernous building in California. Big deal! I’m sitting here right now in the college Commons and I can bring to mind street views of every place I’ve lived since I was three or four years old.
By the way…
3. The number of letters in 500 sets of the Britannica is about the number of stars in the Milky Way Galaxy.

"We Plan Our Lives..."
“We plan our lives according to a dream that came to us in our childhood, and we find that life alters our plans. And yet, at the end, from a rare height, we also see that our dream was our fate. It’s just that providence had other ideas as to how we would get there. Destiny plans a different route, or turns the dream around, as if it were a riddle, and fulfills the dream in ways we couldn’t have expected.”

The Poet: David Whyte, "Sweet Darkness"
"Sweet Darkness"
"When your eyes are tired the world is tired also.
When your vision has gone no part of the world can find you.
Time to go into the dark where the night has eyes
to recognize its own.
There you can be sure you are not beyond love.
The dark will be your womb tonight.
The night will give you a horizon further than you can see.
You must learn one thing: the world was made to be free in.
Give up all the other worlds except the one to which you belong.
Sometimes it takes darkness and the sweet confinement of your aloneness
to learn anything or anyone that does not bring you alive is too small for you."

Happy Anti-vernacular Day!"

"Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling
Calling for me to come home."
~ Will Lamartine Thompson
From a roadside cafe, South Carolina - "Driving down from Maryland to Florida, we stopped for breakfast in a small South Carolina town. At 8 am, it appeared almost deserted. But we found a caf̩ in a converted Main Street shop. Its door was so covered with yellow ribbons Рrecalling the local people who had served in various misbegotten wars Рyou could barely see through the glass.
“Hello… welcome. C’mon in,” said a portly man at a table. “Hi,” said another bunch at a different table. We looked around; they were talking to us.
The café was tiny. Maybe that made everyone in it look obese. Or maybe they really were obese. But they were friendly. “Where are y’all comin’ from,” they wanted to know. While we were exchanging basic information, we noticed that two of the men in the restaurant were wearing pistols. ‘Open carry,’ they call it. On the walls were several Bible inscriptions and hats for sale that advertised only “Jeremiah 20-11.” Music played old Christian classics. “Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling…”
They served “One Nation Coffee.” “I’m sorry,” said the waitress, “but we’re all out of grits.” Were these people the ‘Christian Nationalists’ we’ve been hearing about… the people who threaten to take over the country? Were they the “White Supremacists” some say are a danger to our democracy? We don’t know. They seemed nice enough to us. But every revolution needs its enemies – its loyalists, its bourgeois elements, its counter-revolutionaries. And here… we won’t exactly change the subject, but we will come at it from a different direction.
Just and True: Ver-nac-ular is an under-appreciated word. It is usually only used to describe how people talk. They use the local ‘vernacular,’ rather than an ‘official’ or ‘academic’ way of speaking. People speak differently in South Carolina, for example, than they do in New Hampshire. They have different ideas, too.
There is also ‘vernacular architecture’ to describe the way people build their houses. They develop local styles and techniques that are suitable to the area. The Swiss chalet, for example, is adapted to heavy snowfall. The adobe houses of the southwest moderate the extreme temperatures of day and night. And the Irish cottage, with its thatched roof, stays warm through long periods of humidity and cold, but it would be miserable in the ‘low country’ near Savannah.
“Common law” is a vernacular system of law. It does not depend on anyone to figure out what the law is… or to write out a law code. It is merely what has evolved, with the help of courts, lawyers, and juries made up of ‘twelve men, good and stout.’ It’s what we accept as just and true. The full body of ‘vernacular law’ develops over time as cases are decided… and then is used by future courts to guide them to just decisions. It is a kind of ‘law’ that comes from the bottom up, rather than handed down from the top.
No committee designs ‘the vernacular.’ Nobody enforces it. Nobody improves it. It’s just what happens – when it is allowed to happen. There’s not even a good word to describe the opposite of vernacular. “Standard’ could be used. Or ‘accepted’ or ‘designed’. There being no sleek word for it, we’ll invent a clumsy one: anti-vernacular.
Crime and Punishment: Imagine you are sitting down with someone in a bar, and letting him tell you what he’s been doing. That’s the vernacular. Anti-vernacular would be reading his resume. He will use different words in person than on his resume. Shorter words. Words with whose meaning is not obscure. “I’m seeking employment that will allow me to utilize my educational attainments in order to reach my full potential,” it will say on the resume. “I want a job that I can do,” he will say in private.
The vernacular is just the result of people going about their business and making their individual decisions. They develop styles, customs, and rules. They invent. They experiment. They innovate. And they say ‘please’ and ‘thank you.’ Nobody requires them to say ‘please’ and ‘thank you.’ But they do.
People don’t murder each other either. And not only because it is against the law. Most people agree, it’s not a good thing to do. The taboo against murder is so strong that murderers are often overcome by guilt. That was the theme of Dostoevsky’s famous book, ‘Crime and Punishment.’ It’s not the police that the killer comes to fear; it is himself.
But there are always some people who want to tell other people what to do. And the vernacular gets in their way. They want to put things down in black and white… to make them clear… to codify the rules… and make people obey them. They want to design things for other people as if they were doing it for themselves. What they do for themselves must be good. So, why not make everyone do it.? Some people even invented a new language – Esperanto; they thought it would make the world a better place.
Anti-vernacular Meddling: Like almost all public policy programs to improve the natural, vernacular world, Esperanto seemed like a good idea. Instead of many different languages – each with its own rules, words, grammar and so forth – there would be just one. This was a way to standardize, simplify, and control. Based on Indo-European tongues, and similar in style to Portuguese or Spanish, it was meant to be easy to learn and easy to use. It was more logical than a natural language. And it could easily be adapted by those in charge to boost their political and social agenda.
For example, many people in the 21st century object to an old ‘rule’ of many Indo-European languages: masculine takes precedence. What it means is that when you use a singular, gender-neutral word as a subject, such as ‘everyone,’ you follow up by referring to “him” in the third person masculine singular, as in: ‘Everyone knows that HE is a fool.’
In English, the world improvers have solved the ‘problem’ by changing the HE to a nonsensical, awkward THEY, which sounds ridiculous. Some people even insist that they be referred to in the third person as “they,” as in, “They went for a walk.” Likewise, when Jefferson wrote that “all men are created equal,” he didn’t need to add “and women too.” Because “men” includes “women.”
In natural, vernacular languages, people say what they want… and the language evolves along with the society it serves. But in an anti-vernacular language, such as Esperanto, a small group can determine the rules for everyone. After all, it’s meant to be controlled by the authorities, whoever they are.
Every revolutionary period brings forth its language improvers. During the French Revolution, the old titles – Monsieur, Mon Pere, Monseigneur, Monsieur Le Compte – were replaced by the great leveler, Citoyen. Likewise, in the Bolshevik Revolution, “comrade” was prescribed for everyone, no matter his sex, rank or social status.
But while you can get away with a lot of anti-vernacular meddling, with little lasting damage, there are some areas where imposing a new order becomes deadly. Economics, for example. People depend on ‘the economy’ to live. As we will see tomorrow, you change the rules… and people die."
Joel’s Note: Speaking of ver-nac-ular, allow us to pause a moment, to take a virtual knee, in recognition of International Pronoun Day. You’ve heard about this pivotal calendar event already, no doubt (surely you’ve already baked the cake, hung the balloons and festooned the porch…), but for those just coming to the party…"International Pronoun Day, according to one website we saw, is meant to raise awareness for men and women human beings with feelings and lived experiences who identify as “non-binary,” that is, who choose not to use he/him, she/her pronouns. (Sooo the last 200,000 years!)
Said humans - although-not-exclusively-human-identifying-organisms - might choose, instead, to go by they/them or xie/hir (pronounced “here”) or any one of literally dozens of other pronouns, none of which are set in stone, any of which may change without notice at any given moment. (One list we saw carried the helpful caveat: This is NOT an exhaustive list. Any combination is possible!)
So, for example, an individual who chooses to identify as ve/vis on Monday, Wednesday and Friday might decide that on Tuesdays, Thursdays and weekends, they prefer ze/zir. It’s all about feelz, you see? Just don’t get it wrong. In some schools and colleges, “misgendering” a student, even if they don’t formally identify as a snowflake, can lead to termination. So too in the workplace, where Diversity, Inclusivity and Equity (DIE) training means many heads, one thought.
In this context, misgendering they/hir/yo/vir/viz etc., is actually considered an act of violence. And since words have no meaning anymore anyway, that all makes perfect logical sense. If you’re still confused, just remember: according to the new and approved gender ideology, there’s no such thing as a merely “binary world.” There are only binary people, and non-binary people. One or the other. Which, come to think of it… ah, nevermind. Happy Anti-vernacular Day!"
