A Right Winger’s Introduction to Boethius’ the Consolation of Philosophy

Perhaps no man has influenced the great medieval writers quite as much as Saint Boethius. His great work of philosophy, the Consolation of Philosophy, inspired the likes of Dante and Chaucer. Dante himself went so far as to place Boethius within the Circle of the Sun and considered the Consolation to be a great sourceContinue reading “A Right Winger’s Introduction to Boethius’ the Consolation of Philosophy”

Biden Will Probably Win 2020 – And that’s Okay… Mostly

I think at this point it’s almost certainly clear that Biden will win the 2020 election. I don’t like that this is the case but the numbers seem to be airing on the side of a massive blow out in favor of the Democrats this election. It’s likely they’ll win the presidency, keep the HouseContinue reading “Biden Will Probably Win 2020 – And that’s Okay… Mostly”
