    Counter Currents - Jul 18th 2025 7:11am EDT

    2,415 words The confluence of the Trump administration’s sudden reluctance to release the Jeffrey Epstein files and the MAGA base’s understandably hostile reaction has sadly brought out the worst in Donald Trump. His response so far has been to double down, deny that there is anything of interest in these files, and then lash out […]

  • Heidegger, Hegel, and the Completion of Western Metaphysics

    Counter Currents - Jul 18th 2025 6:51am EDT

    5,218 words All parts here. Introducing the Clearing As we discussed last time, Heidegger’s major objection to Hegel is to identify his philosophy as “ontotheology.” In other words, Hegel confuses the “ontological difference,” the difference between being-as-such and beings, the things that have being.

  • On Sluts, Shame, and “Slut-Shaming”

    Counter Currents - Jul 17th 2025 7:19am EDT

    2,419 words Maritornes One of the great constants of the human condition is that women complain. If there is a heaven, we can count on women to complain about the accommodations, for it would not be heaven to them if they could not do so. Men must learn, therefore, not to take female complaints too […]

    2,654 words Part 1 That the Hamidian Massacres of the 1890s resulted in up to 300,000 Armenian deaths and did not spark either a civil war or a widespread Armenian exodus from the Empire is evidence that the Armenians had been a diaspora for so long that many of them had lost the will—or forgotten […]

    2,465 words I intensely dislike the neologism “incel,” a portmanteau term for involuntary celibate.
