Fate of The West: The Age of Disruption

By Jack Peach | December 13, 2019March 3, 2020 by Jack Peach

In both the offline and online world, turmoil is the emergent theme of this century. From cheap drone technology to DDOS attacks; from Brexit to Trump’s election; from Antifa to right-wing trolls, disruption is endemic within modern life. Technology has changed the terms we play on, prompting this upheaval. Birth Control has disrupted the natural tide of sexuality, cars have disrupted the natural movement of the body and social media has disrupted our natural means…

The Power of The Universe

By Jack Peach | December 9, 2019March 3, 2020 by Jack Peach

In the past, when I was an ardent atheist, I regularly uttered the phrase ‘I believe in the power of The Universe.’ I look back on this now with new eyes and realise this declaration is an act of faith. Yet if you had asked me “do you believe in a ‘higher power?’” I would have scoffed at such foolishness. This is a pretty common pattern of thinking in modern life, yet it is entirely…

Symbolism: Myth, Marriage and Meaning

By Jack Peach | December 5, 2019March 3, 2020 by Jack Peach

Something has been growing inside me, bubbling away in my subconscious, for a little while now. I’ve been unaware that I’d been mulling it over, but yesterday the insight broke surface and popped into my conscious mind. What was it? The lack of importance the Western world attaches to symbolism. This trend of trivialising symbolism is linked to the demise of faith and pre-eminence of rationality within our culture; both of which I discuss here.…

Disruption and Destruction: What Comes Next?

By Jack Peach | November 29, 2019March 3, 2020 by Jack Peach

“Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don’t need.” Tyler Durden, Fight Club I recently re-watched Fight Club – a great book which the film does a fantastic job of representing – and was, once again, affected by the poignancy of the themes within it. Dark and destructive with a penchant for mayhem, it strikes a chord with a certain type of man. What is…

Every G has High-T

By Jack Peach | November 2, 2019March 3, 2020 by Jack Peach

Testosterone is something which gets a high-billing in the ‘Manosphere’ and honestly, for good reason. It’s absolutely essential to a man’s health, virility and confidence. Yet the modern man’s average testosterone levels are falling, with guidelines even changing to reflect this decline. There have been many explanations given for this drop-off, including plastics in the food supply, exogenous oestrogen and poor dietary choices. Whatever the reason, it’s absolutely essential that a man dial in his…

Tradition: Bulwark or Bust?

By Jack Peach | October 30, 2019March 3, 2020 by Jack Peach

Is it an obstacle to progress? Or a necessary societal bulwark? This is a position which my opinion has changed over time. I think I’ve mentioned before that I grew up as a Socialist. I was pretty liberal in some of my views – but pretty conservative in others. Believe it or not, I still am. You can probably gather I no longer am hard-left in my views, but I’m not wedded to right-wing views…
