[Since I wrote this, in 2018, our slide toward totalitarianism has not only accelerated, but become worse than that which Havel faced. Perhaps, though, as Lenin said, the worse, the better.] Václav Havel's famous essay, born of a specific time and place, resonates decades later in our own proto-totalitarian society. What should be done? Havel tells us. The written version of this review can be found here.

It was as a result of this discussion, of Three New Deals, that my program came to be called Foundationalism.

Of the looming collapse of our own American (and Canadian) regimes, through the lens of the 1989 collapse of similar regimes in Eastern Europe. With plenty of my thoughts on how to avoid the errors made after those earlier regimes were eliminated, which errors allowed members of the former regimes to keep much of their power and privileges.

In these strange days of violent medical apartheid and state-organized hatred directed at those who will not comply with criminally insane dictates, Christopher Browning's classic work on how ordinary men end up participating in mass killing has taken on fresh relevance.

Today’s announcement is my discussion with Professor Edward Dutton, aka The Jolly Heretic! Professor Dutton is an expert on evolutionary biology and related matters, which we mention in the context of civilizational collapse, but that is not our main focus here. Rather, we talk primarily about whether the future is the High Middle Ages with rockets, what our American present is like, the revival of religion, why Orthodoxy is based, and societal enforcement of virtue. And I make a specific prediction of when America will break up. You can find the discussion here in video: https://odysee.com/@JollyHeretic:d/Charles-Haywood-Joins-Us-to-Discuss-Whether-Utopia-is-the-High-Middle-Ages-Plus-Rockets:2 You can find Prof. Dutton’s YT channel here (although this video, and his many other fascinating interview videos, can only be found on his Odyssee channel or his Bitchute channel).

I am continuing my new practice of making “Announcements,” appearing on my main site, theworthyhouse.com, available across all platforms, through brief audio clips that are distributed in the same manner as long-form writings. Today’s announcement is the release of a discussion between Peter R. Quiñones, host of the Free Man Beyond the Wall podcast, and myself. We talk about the fracture of America, putting one’s boot on the neck of the Left, why hedge fund operators are inferior to glass factory workers, and much more.

This famous manifesto, by a man who total rejects technological-industrial society, is a challenge to techno-optimists such as I am—and thus a challenge to Foundationalism.

This is one of my favorite reviews, of a book that is extremely important today. Jünger foresaw both our present moment, and what should be done. You should read this book, and also its companion Eumeswil (and my interpretations of both). (This article was first published October 13, 2018.)

As I discuss in the audio, I am beginning to regularly announce on audio platforms opportunities to view appearances of me, that is to say, Worthy House content, that occurs on the platforms of others. For example, I may have appeared on another podcast, or written an article in a magazine—both of which have happened recently, in fact. So—are you looking for doomer optimism? Look no further. Now available across all platforms is my discussion with Alex Kaschuta, host of The Subversive Podcast. We talk about regime fragility, what is to come, Space, and how good our future can be!
