The End Game - Not all of us can be geniuses, but all of us can be loyal, said Marion. Lucian hated the word “genius”. It was gay. This word originated from Latin and originally it meant the spirit of male fertility. Of course men can’t give birth to an actual human, so it meant fertility of the mind. - It’s a bad deal for me, Lucian answered. There is nothing noble in loyalty out of weakness. It leads only to general evil. You forfeit your mind, and you turn into a slave to same Lenin. - No, not Lenin! said Marion, Lenin was not our brother. We will follow a brother, one we know is of the same stock as us. - I’ll tell you right now, answered Lucian, the noble man can never consider mindless followers as of his own stock, even if they follow him and obey him perfectly. The noble spirit cannot bear the submissive spirit. - Spirit? Said Marion. It’s the 21st century. There is no such thing as spirit. There are only genes. Every one of us is merely the vector of the Great Genetic Stock that we bear. Some of us get lucky and we get the mix that makes us brilliant, while most of us don’t get lucky and turn out mediocre. But even the mediocre majority carries the latent potential to express genius in its progeny. Therefore the mediocre are also valuable. - You would make a great ant or a bee Marion, and you really are humble. But I am a human. I am neither a vector nor a transitory form. Something has happened in the distant past, and our animal flesh was stung directly by the Spirit who designed the whole game from the beginning. For this reason you and I are neither the mineral nor the plant, nor the animal creation, but we bear the potential of filiality to the Creator himself. We are called not to evolve like plants and animals, but to decide and make a choice, and if the choice is right we will escape the mortal coil of evolution and ascend directly to become like gods. - You are mad! Look at the vast masses of humanity and the filth and idiocy that is their destiny. You really think that the Creator of this Universe would call each one of them a child, if they only chose? This is arrogance. We are only carriers of filthy genes with gems buried scarcely in the millions of nucleotides, and our task is to retrieve the gems and polish them, and let the filthy and useless stuff sink into forgetfulness, like the forgetfulness of the many transitional forms before history, when our genes crawled in the brine and mud of the Mother Ocean. - Tell me then, said Lucian, what do you imagine the final form to be? You cannot enjoy the simple pleasures of life, like me. I enjoy a good coffee in the morning, and a good beer with a friend, and the love of my woman, and the expressions of human sorrow and hope. This is an aberration to you? If you seek beauty, there are already the beautiful, and they are shallow. If you seek intelligence, there are already the intelligent, and they are autistic. If you seek happiness, there are already the content, and they are idiots. - I don’t know what the final form will be, but I know that we’re not it. - I find your lack of faith disappointing, answered Lucian. Look at yourself and look at the passers by, and behold the man. You will rise above this only by piercing through your animal nature and confessing your grand origin. https://www.georgeboreas.com/blog/the-green-fluted-suit monthly 0.5 2021-06-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef213543e387f4ab80b9c30/1594031105721-2LE2SZV5F9U0ESI7T0DU/21628CFA-D71F-4C60-817D-8F5B6389FB68.jpeg Boreas - The Green Fluted Suit https://www.georgeboreas.com/blog/chapter-2-europe monthly 0.5 2020-07-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef213543e387f4ab80b9c30/1593699219883-GS4S0EWXHE44X1QM1IHP/barcelona.jpg Boreas - Chapter 2: Europe https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef213543e387f4ab80b9c30/1593698751482-7V7RS9EPVSYKFKM9UGYU/rome.jpg Boreas - Chapter 2: Europe https://www.georgeboreas.com/blog/alternatives-to-patriarchy monthly 0.5 2022-07-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef213543e387f4ab80b9c30/1593147799529-RFC35HGSV1JN4MN71JOM/6361717183_2fc5a4cdd2_b.jpg Boreas - Alternatives to Patriarchy https://www.georgeboreas.com/blog/chapter1 monthly 0.5 2020-07-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef213543e387f4ab80b9c30/1592957527031-LPRS2NI8V400JR5N3TUP/bschool.jpg Boreas - Chapter 1: North America https://www.georgeboreas.com/blog/category/Mimetic+Theory%3B+Fiction%3B+Short+Stories monthly 0.5 https://www.georgeboreas.com/about daily 0.75 2023-09-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef213543e387f4ab80b9c30/1601343773063-00FTYY7RLCL7DJQ5KGZ3/magiccarpet.jpg About - Hello, I strive to make my path with reason, honesty, and focus on our shared experience. I write short stories, novels, and essays on applied mimetic theory of René Girard. I send newsletters and record a podcast. Get in touch!

A remedy is proposed in the end. Find out what's making the frogs gay, why a lot of philosophy is sadomasochism, why homosexuality is a humiliation fetish, why paganism is not a good eugenics program, and why Christianity is better than all of these things. Plus countless other insights. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef213543e387f4ab80b9c30/b8f6ce6f-b5df-4cc1-b664-c49103368936/D-3.jpg Books Recession: Millennial Short Stories Twelve short stories capture the gloomy zeitgeist of the Millennial generation. Protagonists are mostly young men confronted with a failing society, with its crumbling cultural norms, failing economy, underemployment, unfeasible family life, debauchery, globalist agendas, climate change, technological apocalypse, etc. The author balances the often sombre tones with a heavy dose of humour and reveals many of the absurdities of the early twenty-first century prejudices. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef213543e387f4ab80b9c30/7a578abe-675d-4084-a447-633b2cf20624/B.jpg Books Catharses: Essays in Applied Mimetic Theory This collection of twenty-three essays brings into one volume two years of studying, researching, and writing on René Girard’s mimetic theory. The author applies the theory to popular questions to reveal the hidden but fundamental role of mimesis in our lives and to give the reader new and empowering perspectives. The aim is to reproduce the catharsis that Girard’s own work provided to so many of his readers: expulsion of the ignorance of imitation in our desires, origins, and culture. Girard’s rigorous theories are brought to bear upon current and popular topics in the spirit of affirming and building upon his legacy. Each essay was written to stand alone and be accessible even to readers with minimal familiarity with Girard’s work. Yet, each ventures unique analyses and many offer original takes on new questions. The essays were originally posted online in a series, receiving an enthusiastic reception. Here, they are presented after being extensively edited, expanded, substantiated, and organized into a coherent whole consisting of five parts: philosophy, history, sociology, politics, and psychology. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef213543e387f4ab80b9c30/8b99e9e9-dc24-4582-b9c1-42108753b947/Cover+Final.jpg Books - The Woke Iliad Helen, America’s Ambassador of Woke, has been abducted on the orders of the Moldovan President Bagrayev, the most politically incorrect head of state in the world. The outraged Americans, led by the conscientious General Womack, invade his small but nuclear-armed country. To gaslight Bagrayev and avoid triggering the Armageddon, they assemble a coalition of allies and sneak into Moldova overnight with a thousand submarines. Once at war, Womack must avoid escalation of violence at all costs. He must manage his opponent’s volatile personality as well as the bickering identity groups within his own ranks. Both sides must find a way to deal with ruthless social media psyops and with perfidious captives and defectors. Read now to find out how this most modern of conflicts will end, stuck as it is between the hyper-violence of nuclear holocaust and the hyper-sensitivity of wokeness. https://www.georgeboreas.com/podcast daily 0.75 2023-06-30
