The fundamental flaw inherent in the clamorously contentious phenomenon of identity politics is that the ticket to entry to the Promised Land of its adherents is a label, proudly applied to the self and demanded of others. You may note that this looks a lot like forced conversion as historically practiced by the Catholic Church […]

Today the House of LFM celebrates the eighth natal day of middle Son Lukas! Above you see the strapping lad he has thus far grown to be, and I would offer that image in comparison to this one taken on the day of his birth …

The yardstick that measures such success is made of treasure and property, and the power they represent is the power to consume, […]

Notwithstanding what Tools and technologies we may choose to enable us in a task, First Principles will be the guiding influence in their application.

A Dose of Reality By LFM Who would thrive shall not disgrace His worthiness for Nature’s grace. In service of what needs befall, What he would take, he takes not all. The first he finds, he moves on past, So he will never take the last. In our last conversation On Hunting, I said in […]

As has been made more than amply clear here lo these many years, I have been studying the Nature and use of the Blade, from chisels to axes, pen knives to sabres, scythes to ploughshares, épées to corkscrews; learning, teaching, and writing about it for a very big part of my nearly three score and […]
