The Faust wannabe threw himself at Latin grammars to unearth lyrics to curdle the soul. He hadn't reckoned with the Desert Fathers.

- [Books Aren't Rational. They're Tactile.](https://thedailyeudemon.com/books-arent-rational-theyre-tactile.md) - Back in the greasy, disco-lit haze of the 1970s and the dawn of the Reaganite ‘80s, the publishing world churned out a billion paperbacks. They were dirt cheap, some even free, handed out like girlie pamphlets on the Vegas strip. But there was a hook: they were riddled with ads, mostly from the cig…
- [Books Can Shield You From Cults](https://thedailyeudemon.com/books-can-shield-you-from-cults.md) - Role models are great. We all oughtta have a few. But don’t underestimate the anti-role models. These cautionary wraiths of consequence are more often the true educators in this carnival of folly called “modernity,” whispering not “be like me” but “For God’s sake, be anything but.” That lean 60-yea…

Weeping for Anna Karenina and being terrified by Hannibal Lecter, entering the heart of darkness with Mistah Kurtz, having Holden Caulfield ring you up--some things should happen on soft pages, not cold metal." Harper Lee to Oprah Winfrey
- [The Scrolling Blog: Earlier Entries](https://thedailyeudemon.com/the-scrolling-blog-earlier-entries.md) - Sucked into Twitter I clicked on my Twitter tab so I could navigate to Gmail to contact my IT guy.

- [The Way of the Cobblestone](https://thedailyeudemon.com/the-way-of-the-cobblestone.md) - Smooth makes things rough. Ease makes life more difficult. Soft makes us brittle. We lost something when asphalt replaced cobblestone. Every step on those old, gnarled stones forced a man’s body to shift, recalibrate, and work. The more cobblestonish the surface, the more micro-exertions. The more…
- [Albert Jay Nock, the Remnant, and Our Need to Read](https://thedailyeudemon.com/albert-jay-nock-the-remnant-and-our-need-to-read.md) - Picture a man, tattered coat flapping, rummaging through a dumpster in an alley. You wince, don’t you? That flicker of disgust ripples through your gut. But hold on. Don’t judge him too harshly. He’s not much different from a stray dog, sniffing for scraps. That’s not my line; it’s Albert Jay Nock’…

After Bernard's death, an assortment of men…
- [Twenty 20th-Century Books for Young Autodidacts](https://thedailyeudemon.com/51741.md) - (Actually, there are 33, if you count the honorable mentions) Joseph Epstein is arguably the best essayist alive. He’s urbane, funny, self-deprecating. He’s a fine stylist, and he’s remarkably well-read. I remember William F. Buckley marveling at Epstein’s erudition and wondering how Epstein could…

- [Escaping the Cocooned Mind](https://thedailyeudemon.com/escaping-the-cocooned-mind.md) - We’re all wrapped up in rationalist cocoons, spun not by our own hands but by the sticky threads of a world gone mad with reason. Our spit’s in the walls, sure, but we didn’t design the daggone things. We were born into them, raised in them, schooled in their claustrophobic embrace until we forgot…

- [The Third Way Fever](https://thedailyeudemon.com/the-third-way-fever.md) - This modern world’s got a fever, and it ain’t for more cowbell. It’s for third alternatives. Everybody’s itching for that elusive other option, like it’s the last ticket out of a burning city. Ray Oldenburg lit a fuse back in ’89 with The Great Good Place, preaching the gospel of “third spaces”: no…
- [Documentary Review. Join or Die](https://thedailyeudemon.com/documentary-review-join-or-die.md) - America’s crumbling civic soul gets a hard look in Join or Die, a documentary riffing on Robert Putnam’s Bowling Alone (2000). It’s a 100-minute dirge for the death of social capital, that invisible glue of community that once held this nation together. But for all its otherwise-excellent hand-wrin…
- [And Now We See that Trump is a Gaslighter](https://thedailyeudemon.com/and-now-we-see-that-trump-is-a-gaslighter.md) - Paul Kingsnorth nailed it in 2023 when he said the pandemic response rewired his brain. He saw the unholy trinity of power (Big Government, Big Business, Big Media) weave a narrative so tight it could choke a nation, the kind of thing you’d expect from a dictatorship, not the world’s beacon of libe…
- [Five Reasons to Drink at the Bar](https://thedailyeudemon.com/five-reasons-to-drink-at-the-bar.md) - In the twilight of Western civilization, where the sterile grip of the left hemisphere has throttled the soul out of our culture, the pub stands as a defiant outpost of human connection against the gnostic tide. The churches once held the line too, but many—mainline Protestants, Jesuits, and their…
- [GKC and McGilchrist](https://thedailyeudemon.com/gkc-and-mcgilchrist.md) - I ain’t got a shred of hard proof, but I’d wager that G.K. Chesterton’s noggin was rigged with a hulking, boisterous right hemisphere that steamrolled the left like a runaway freight train. That jovial giant’s right hemisphere didn’t just outmuscle its analytical counterpart. It hog-tied and stuffe…
- [Hand Me that Loaf of Nothing](https://thedailyeudemon.com/hand-me-that-loaf-of-nothing.md) - America’s gone and lost its knack for wasting time, and we’re paying a butcher’s bill for it. Young folks, especially, ain’t lingering with each other, not in the aimless, sprawling way that used to stitch souls together. The fallout’s grim: depression’s up, suicide’s high, and a sour malaise hangs…

- [Thomas Sowell's Hemispheres](https://thedailyeudemon.com/thomas-sowells-hemispheres-2.md) - Picture Thomas Sowell, that old warrior of the mind, sitting at his desk, sifting through the wreckage of human folly. His right hemisphere? Hell if I know how it hums. Does he commune with the Tao, feel the pulse of the cosmos in his bones? Not my place to say, but if you sift his work, you’ll be…
- [Reading: Kicking Against the Left Hemisphere's Hegemony](https://thedailyeudemon.com/reading-kicking-against-the-left-hemispheres-hegemony.md) - Few things are more degrading than being a child of the modern age. “Prison wife” comes closest.

The trick is knowing what you’re escaping from, lest you just…

- [Edgar Cayce: Sleeping Prophet](https://thedailyeudemon.com/edgar-cayce-sleeping-prophet.md) - Edgar Cayce, the “Sleeping Prophet” (1877-1945), was a peculiar figure, a lanky Kentuckian who slipped into some kind of trance-like stupor and spouted answers to life’s mysteries like a backwoods oracle. Over 14,000 of his mutterings were scribbled down by diligent stenographers, responses to ques…

Sad, pitiful, and comical. Until he gets so frustrated that he smashes the window with a hammer. Fresh air rushes in but so do shards of glass. Bust up the Tao and a breeze of clarity hits the brain bu…

- [More Snoring, Less Beltway Whoring](https://thedailyeudemon.com/more-snoring-less-beltway-whoring.md) - The Hemisphere Hypothesis won’t teach you how to wrench a lug nut off a busted tire and it won’t tell you how to deal with the beard in your daughter’s locker room. For all its highfalutin talk about brain wiring and reality, it’s about as useful as a paper towel in a hurricane when you’re staring…

- [Benedict in the City](https://thedailyeudemon.com/benedict-in-the-city.md) - My Kindle’s a cluttered attic, stuffed with a few books I pick at like a vulture when the mood strikes.

This sly jester is second only to the old sage Lao-Tzu in Tao greatness. Chuang-Tzu championed wu-wei—the art of non-doing, of letting the world spin without your sweaty gri…
- [Montaigne: Smiling Skeptic](https://thedailyeudemon.com/montaigne-smiling-skeptic.md) - Montaigne spat on every dogma and system that strutted through the intellectual barnyard of his day. His motto: Que sais-je? (What do I know?) His answer, delivered with a smirk: Not a daggone thing. “There is a plague on man: his opinion that he knows something.” Montaigne Logic? Pfft. He’d sooner…

- [The Everyday Problem That is the Left Hemisphere](https://thedailyeudemon.com/the-everyday-problem-that-is-the-left-hemisphere.md) - The left hemisphere of your brain is a miserable little tyrant, a penny-ante dictator strutting around in the gray matter. Don’t believe me? Look at the everyday modern life that the left hemisphere has given us. It’s one big prick-fest, a carnival of impatience and irritation where every glitch in…
- [Why I Don't Stay Informed](https://thedailyeudemon.com/55813.md) - I'm glad the Establishment didn't succeed in destroying JRE during COVID. It’s pretty much the only way I stay informed to the extent I want to be informed. I agree with Nassim Taleb’s observation that there’s no reason to read the daily news, and it’s not good for you. If there’s anything truly wo…
- [The Stud that Was H.L. Mencken](https://thedailyeudemon.com/the-stud-that-was-h-l-mencken.md) - Every so often, I plunge headlong into a Mencken spree, a vice I’ve nursed since the early 1990s when I first stumbled into Ann Arbor’s Dawn Treader Bookstore and smelled those old books (that odd but pleasing scent, I’m told, comes from vanilla releasing from the aging paper). I fished out three t…
- [The Battle of the Hemispheres](https://thedailyeudemon.com/the-battle-of-the-hemispheres.md) - So, fear’s the new punk squatting in the pantheon of mortal sins.

Bad on me. Sloppy Joe’s was Hemingway’s haunt in the 1930s, back when he was a strutting, liquor-soaked peacock,…
- [I Want My Son to Visit Vegas](https://thedailyeudemon.com/i-want-my-son-to-go-to-vegas.md) - Vegas is Sin City, where what happens stays, except the clap. But that shouldn’t spook a lad with a shred of Catholic spine.
- [AI's Little Victories Add Up to Huge Defeat](https://thedailyeudemon.com/ai-s.md) - A malign pincer grips our weary souls as I peck out these words in the bleak dawn of early 2025.

At the societal level, governments…
- [Why We Need to Meditate](https://thedailyeudemon.com/why-we-need-to-meditate.md) - So, you want to meditate? Here’s the raw deal, stripped down to the studs: 1. Plunk yourself in a chair—or on the floor if you’re one of those types—and shut your eyes. 2. Zero in on the air moving through your nose. Feel it, don’t think it. 3. When your brain starts yammering like a cable news pun…

Their big beef? “The Buddhists kicked it off!” Cue the pearl-clutching and incense-waving, as if that’s a knockout punch.…

Think of it as the nation’s biggest hobby—a manic, soil-stained frenzy wit…
- [A Meditation on Gnosticism Over at Substack This Morning](https://thedailyeudemon.com/over-at-substack-this-morning.md) - The guy who demands that everyone be rational becomes the most irrational of all. That’s an old Taoist zinger. It rang true when Lao-Tzu swayed atop his water buffalo to the misty hills of eternity; it’s true today as we clatter along in our mechanical Jacobins, guillotinely crisp in our rationalit…

- [Minimalists are Hoarders but with Better Hygiene](https://thedailyeudemon.com/minimalists-are-hoarders-but-with-better-hygiene.md) - Few things feel better than disgust. It's the rocket fuel of reality TV, propelling us to smirk and gape at the human wreckage on display: the obese, the addicted, the mentally ill, the hoarders, and that woman who won't eat anything except cheesy potatoes. It's a carnival sideshow for the masses,…
- [Scratching with Modernity](https://thedailyeudemon.com/scratching-with-modernity.md) - Why are some people such jerks? Or, to borrow from our British cousins, so disagreeable? I mean "disagreeable" in the most expansive way possible.
