This week I\u2019ll finish up reading Larry Correia\u2019s \u201cMonster Hunter Seige\u201d and post a review.\u00a0 The hard cover version came out back in July but I buy the paperback for convenience and that version just got issued.\u00a0 The site has been a little slow because I\u2019m putting together a sort of \u201cbest of\u201d post on my southwest landscape trip for a link that Captain Capitalism is providing me and it\u2019s a time-consuming endeavor.\u00a0 It\u2019s like eleven hundred files and I\u2019m still learning how to use Capture One.\u00a0 So bear with me.\u00a0 That post should be pretty interesting for the photo enthusiasts.\u00a0 As I mentioned earlier I\u2019ll get those rental lenses on Friday the 11th<\/sup> and that will spawn some interesting posts on the viability of using Sigma lenses with Canon mount on the Sony A7 cameras.\u00a0 That may be interesting to Canon shooters with Sigma glass who have been interested in switching to Sony and anyone who is still constrained by Sony\u2019s telephoto and macro lens choices.<\/p>\n

The other thing I am interested in writing about is the direction of right wing movement.\u00a0 I am trying to formulate my own particular spin on what makes sense going forward.\u00a0 There is a lot of confusion and undirected anger that doesn\u2019t seem to be producing much in the way of results.\u00a0 And there seems to be a certain amount of opportunism and charlatanism that makes it difficult to know what is solid and worthwhile.\u00a0 Sometimes it seems that several people have each latched onto a different piece of the puzzle needed to reform the current situation but like the blind men and the elephant they only \u201csee\u201d a small part of the reality and are missing the big picture.\u00a0 And because of that, they diagnose that small part of the problem and their solution doesn\u2019t address the broader situation.\u00a0 And some of the \u201cwise men\u201d are too extreme.\u00a0 They would throw out the baby with the bath water.\u00a0 The more I think about solutions for the social disintegration the more I think that restoring the common-sense institutions we used to have is the solution.\u00a0 Stopping unlimited immigration is neither impossible nor radical.\u00a0 Restoring respect for the traditions and institutions of our forefathers is important and relatively straight forward.\u00a0 And replacing social justice and reverse discrimination with actual justice is so rational that it shouldn\u2019t even require explanation.\u00a0 I think some of the emphasis on race reality is a response to the absurdity that occurs when racial and sexual protectionism and intersectionality tactics are used to attack the American white middle and working classes.\u00a0 If you eliminate these irritants then the rules of American society should be competent to allow different types of people to function relatively harmoniously.\u00a0 Anyway, that is what I\u2019m starting to think.\u00a0 I\u2019m definitely interested in other opinions.\u00a0 And I read around to hear what other people are coming up with.\u00a0 For instance I\u2019m going to read Gregory Cochran\u2019s \u201cThe 10,000 Year Explosion: How Civilization Accelerated Human Evolution\u201d and David Reich\u2019s \u201cWho We Are and How We Got Here: Ancient DNA and the New Science of the Human Past\u201d to see if there\u2019s anything in biology that rules out my optimism for a functional multi-ethnic America.<\/p>\n

And finally, I\u2019d love to get more feedback from the readers.\u00a0 Even if it\u2019s negative.\u00a0 It\u2019s useful to know what you like and what you don\u2019t.\u00a0 Or even to just say hi.\u00a0 It\u2019s definitely appreciated and part of why I made this site.\u00a0 I am interested in hearing other points of view.\u00a0 And if you find something interesting on-line pass along the link.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
