The Crisis of Masculinity

Is masculinity itself, toxic?

Back to a familiar theme. It should come as no surprise that the creators of AI, having recused themselves in their infinite brilliance from studying history, philosophy, literature, anthropology, sociology, psychology, epistemology, etc. - i.e. the liberal arts, should themselves have created a technology that has no moral compass, no empathy, no depth, and no charact Read more of this blog post »

“He is the cave in Gibraltar where they found all of the Neanderthal skeletons after primitive man hunted them to extinction. He’s the chasm in Sparta where they threw the deformed infants. He is the nexus of madness and sanity – the amygdala and the cerebrum. And now we find ourselves in his dojo – the dojo of consciousness itself, where it will be won or lost. Forever.”
― R.L. Frazier, The Mike Khepri Mysteries

― R.L. Frazier, The Mike Khepri Mysteries

“down these mean streets a man must go who is not himself mean, who is neither tarnished nor afraid. He is the hero; he is everything. He must be a complete man and a common man and yet an unusual man. He must be, to use a rather weathered phrase, a man of honor—by instinct, by inevitability, without thought of it, and certainly without saying it. He must be the best man in his world and a good enough man for any world.

“He will take no man’s money dishonestly and no man’s insolence without a due and dispassionate revenge. He is a lonely man and his pride is that you will treat him as a proud man or be very sorry you ever saw him.

“The story is this man’s adventure in search of a hidden truth, and it would be no adventure if it did not happen to a man fit for adventure. If there were enough like him, the world would be a very safe place to live in, without becoming too dull to be worth living in.”
― Raymond Chandler
