What Next?

There are three paths I can go down with respect to the next book I write.

NAZI MOON (linked) is now available at least in the US and CANADA and should be available soon in other countries too.

Do you Prefer I next write:

I have been asked to do the relationship book by friends and men in general for years; at least 20 of them. I resisted the impulse* for at least a couple of decades, primarily because, as one of my alter egos/nicknames —given to me by friends in Italy over 20 years ago— said in one of the graphic novels he appears in: “Any man that says he has understood all there is to know about women, is either a liar or insane.” And it’s close enough to the truth in some ways. Nevertheless, I feel that after two divorces, a lot of women in between, and finally a proper Catholic marriage, not to mention 4 children I fathered, I have probably made —and persevered!— and (one hopes), learnt enough that it is probably acceptable to pass on a few pointers to younger men; at least on those issues I feel I have now got enough experience to retroactively note when I did the right thing (regardless of outcome), and when I did the wrong thing (again, regardless of outcome). I mention this, because as I say, there have been a lot of people asking me for this for a long time.

With regard to my non-fiction, each book I have written so far, is really mostly a compilation of my theories and conclusions formed with many years of experience.

The Face on Mars was the result of a lifelong interest in Astronomy from very early childhood. I understood what a light-year was at age four, thanks to an uncle who was, and remains, a total geek to this day. He also sent me a telescope in my early teens, with which I observed the mountains of the moon, and how the moon itself moved. I also saw Haley’s comet with it, from our home in Africa at the time. And to this day the concepts I put forth in that book were then, and for the most part continue to remain today, unique. Some have badly plagiarised aspects of it (hello Graham Hancock) but the overall main issue had not been understood by anyone I am aware of before I saw it. And most remain totally ignorant of it, despite the predictions and theories I made back in 1995, playing out as correct in the intervening time. The update in 2014 also added a new dimension to the reality of my ideas, which is partly expanded on a lot more in my fiction work.

Systema was similarly, a book I wrote after I had personally spend decades in the martial arts world. And I wanted to demystify a LOT of the nonsense that goes with many martial art “concepts” and their related egos, and which —in particular— seemed to have a vortex of “mystic ninjas” concerning the Russian system. Which is an impression many martial artists might have if they have not experience of it firsthand. By merely watching YouTube videos or hearing “fantastic” stories of almost magical ability, they are most likely going to assume it is some woo-woo nonsensical “martial art”. That thought is disabused within minutes of confronting any of the top exponents of it. Unfortunately, as always, along with the really good practitioners, there were also a lot of “mystic ninjas” and some of the practitioners did nothing to demystify the situation, so I did it. I have been doing martial arts since I was a very small child, thanks to my dad, so I had pretty extensive knowledge of it before I put hand-to-keyboard after almost four decades of it.

Reclaiming the Catholic Church was in some ways the “odd man out” because I had a road to Damascus Event in 2013 and the book came out in 2020, that is, only 7 years later. However, I had been reading different books on all the main religions, mysticism, “spiritual” and even New Age stuff, again, since my teens, and literally infiltrating various cults as a hobby, in order to see if anyone had anything that was demonstrably true, real, or worthwhile. I had settled on a basic Zen-Agnosticism, with a clear understanding there must be an intelligence behind creation (the math, astronomy, biology and physics, as well as logic, pretty much confirms it many, many, many times over) but no sense of a God as such that was specifically interested in us mere mortals, much less me specifically. That changed in a radical, unexpected and utterly surprising way, that while “subjective” in the sense that I cannot prove it to anyone else, was absolutely objective and very much so for me. The other part that helped was that because the Catholic Church has ALL of its rules and dogmas written down, it was fairly easy to follow the thread of its history and see the astonishing truth it is founded on. As it was, to see that the current inhabitants of the Vatican are, without putting too fine a point on it, flat out Satanists.

BELIEVE! Instead, published a year before RTCC, was a much smaller work, putting out my new, or updated, basic outline philosophy. For those who have read both books, you will notice that BELIEVE! is not even a fifth of the size of RTCC, at just under 100 pages, and is a lot more open with respect to overall views and concepts. RTCC was the follow up that basically said, “OK, so that’s sort of where I am with respect to religion as a whole (BELIEVE!) now let’s take a look at this one path that I state is the best one I can see so far, and in this book, (RTCC), I went full autist, covering every aspect of Sedevacantism (i.e. the actual, current, only Catholicism left) and demonstrating it in a manner that no one has so far even attempted to refute, much less succeeded. The result is that RTCC is the foundation on which BELIVE! is really sitting on, which is probably why even if a much smaller and less detailed book, BELIEVE! has resulted in now over 100 people converting to Sedevacantist Catholicism (aka simply: Catholicism).

The reason I point all this out, is because in these last two non-fiction books, it becomes obvious that even my overall looser and more generic ideas, as expressed in BELIEVE!, for example, clearly have had a lot of genuinely positive effects on people who read them. And we know it was this that sparked the results, because BELIEVE! came first, and yet, even without all the details (presented in RTCC), it had a serious impact on people’s lives.

I see a LOT of confusion, struggles and heartache among young men today concerning intimate relationships and finding the right woman.

I literally get questions, emails, or messages on the topic to a frequency that is starting to become hard to keep up with. And as anyone that reads my blog knows, I have a rather low opinions of PUAs, and would very much hate to be mistaken for one. That said, I know for a demonstrable fact that my advice benefits these younger men, because they are getting married, having babies, and resolving issues they had for many years of their lives. I have literally had everything from friends, neighbours and even strangers, asking for advice, on an ad hoc basis, to hypnosis sessions with people that were under clinical care as supposedly paranoid schizophrenics under medication that went on to stop the medication (yes with doctor approval and full knowledge of my sessions with them) and go on to have a productive life with a functioning relationship, when prior they were 29 year old virgins. And I have been doing this for at least 15 years, with positive results.

So, perhaps, there is some utility in putting together some of the baseline concepts concerning male-female interactions and so on.

The other options (SF saga continuation) or YA SF books are, respectively, more a divertimento for myself and, a less fun, but I think helpful addition to the current dearth of adventure stories for boys mostly. I am not aware of anything like the Hardy Boys and so on coming along anytime recently, which is why Castalia House is doing well printing old classics. I would not enjoy writing such books as much as my own adult Science Fiction, but it would not be too difficult to do and they should be able to be produced fairly quickly. Although, I am not likely to be acclaimed as a children’s author anytime soon, or even long after I am dust, so the effort might not be worth it.

Anyway, I’d appreciate your thoughts on the matter, so please feel free to leave comments after you vote, thanks. 

* Vox, on this post, referring to someone else, Taleb, in this case, said something that holds true for most of us. Personally I have always genuinely tried to resist the temptation, and often people have been quite “deflated” when trying to make me their “guru”, when, after being asked something I know little or nothing about or at least I don’t feel qualified to take a stand on, I simply say “I have no idea”. Some were quite insistent nevertheless and I always consciously dissuaded that, as I explained in some detail in my book Systema: The Russian Martial System.

    The Benefits of Systema

    I know that those people who have never trained with the likes of Vladimir Vasiliev, Konstantin Komarov, Sergey Ozhereliev, Vadim Dobrin, or the recently deceased Mikhail Ryabko, or some of their best students, all seem to think that Systema is fake and nonsense, but the reality is that I do not know of a single human being, regardless of their prior knowledge of martial arts, that has trained with any of the people I mentioned above that did not leave there thinking something like: “How the fuck did he just do that to me?!”

    And I don’t know of a single person that has trained with them that thinks Systema is fake, or ineffective, or not able to kick the hell out of pretty much every other martial art I am familiar with given a comparable level of training in a comparable student. Yes the videos all look absolutely fake, but that’s because you don’t understand what you are watching. Systema drills are NOT meant to be realistic attacks. They are supposed to generally be either realistic movements in super slow motion, that can gradually progress in speed and intensity but only as long as the practitioners do not go into a state of “tension” that is fear, or desire to win, etc, as such emotions translate in telegraphing movement and stiff/tense movements that become easy to counter or take advantage of, or, drills meant to give you some discomfort and train you to breathe and move through them retaining a relaxed mental and physical posture, while performing whatever move is required to evade or overcome the drill.

    I did karate-do in a very hard dojo for years and I was already a second Dan when I met my first Systema exponent in a training context, Val Riazanov, and I couldn’t touch the guy at all and he could do what he wanted with me. Similarly, after I became a Systema instructor I had everything from Boxers to ex-SAS to active soldiers asking to take me on in a more “realistic” way to test if it was all nonsense. Although I do not profess to be anywhere near the level of the exponents I named above, in every case, they very quickly decided I was absolutely not full of shit. This also included a couple of guys that had 20-30kg on me and worked as bouncers or bodyguards and had serious training in wrestling or other martial arts, I forget which, I think Krav Mama and some karate etc.

    Anyway, the point here is not to try to brag, not about my skill, nor about Systema itself. The point is that the benefits of Systema go far beyond merely fighting or combat.

    In some 3 decades of karate and delving into other martial arts from time to time, to test them, and myself, I had accumulated a variety of relatively permanent injuries. Impacted joints, an injured sternum which had also caused a semi-chronic stiffness in my spine on one side, various scar tissue that had accumulated from various muscle tears and so on. In my mid thirties I started to do Systema and by my early 40s I was healthier and fitter than I was in my thirties. Many of the injuries I had sustained re-presented themselves as I trained Systema then healed, almost miraculously.

    Besides all of this, it had a profound effect on my psychology. It is a little know or acknowledged fact, that our connection between mind and body is far deeper and more important than literally any doctor has ever imagined, never mind spoken or written about. The training that you do in a martial art has a profound psychological effect too. Karate-Do is a hard style, and while the romantic theory behind Shotokan Karate-Do is that there is “no-contact”, the reality is that even in competitions, body shots are permitted and head shots are supposed to be “limited” but I had events where the opponent’s fist went past my head to the elbow, meaning if I had not dodged the punch he was trying to put his fist through my head. And in dojo kumite (the “friendly” sparring that happens in the dojo outside of any competitions) pretty much anything goes. You can literally bite a guy’s ear off if he doesn’t submit and no one will chastise you for it.

    As a result, the mindset it fosters is a very rigid one. Flexible perhaps in how to go after a target, but the very idea of giving up is anathema. The ruling principle of Karate is: Failure is acceptable, but giving up, never.

    In short, you can succeed or die trying. Nothing else.

    Systema philosophy instead can be summarised as: Do the impossible, and survive.

    Hence in Karate your value is zero. The mission is all. Honour is all. Death is irrelevant. Surrender or giving up is simply not an option.

    In Systema your value is total. Win, achieve your goal, overcome impossible odds, but above all, survive.

    After I had trained a few years I went to visit my brother in South Africa, and he noted in me a chance that surprised him to the point that he mentioned it out loud after a single day with him.

    “What did you do man? You’re like a different person. A lot calmer, even if no less intense.”

    I told him about Systema and as a result he went to do some of it with Vadim Dobrin, and I dare say that what he learnt with Vadim, saved his life at least once if not more times.

    But now that I have passed the half-century mark, I do not burn with desire to lay out random street thugs, as I did in my youth, when I purposefully would walk around at 3 am through the parks and supposedly dodgy areas of London hoping for some unfortunate thug to pick me. That all said, if trouble comes looking for me, I am not exactly at the wheel-chair section of the “old-fighters” line.

    However, I have realised that my lack of Systema specific drills for the last few years is something I need to change again and get back into training my body with those same drills and so on, because the benefits far outweigh the mild discomfort or time it takes to do them. In part I realised this thanks to rather strenuous pruning activity by climbing up and down trees for over a week. While stiff at first, thanks to doing the movements in a Systema way, several aches and pains have left me, and the more serious ones, the result of an injury from my stupidly lifting/shoving a 200kg or so stove into and out of a car by myself, have become more prominent. Which means either I need to see a good chiropractor first and then do the Systema training, or at least do the training. Again, the benefits I highlight are physical ones, but the psychological ones are really probably far more important.

    Sylevester, the young guy who came to help me for a week has read my Systema Book and he was explaining to me how doing so had already helped him level up in his jujitsu class in a way that his training buddies couldn’t make sense of. It’s also helped him begin to understand his body and a muscle injury he had in his leg and shortened fascia he has in his feet. It was genuinely a pleasure to see a young man, learning such things so early in life and noticing how beneficial they are to him, but too the attitude he has fostered, which I am sure had its own inborn talent of course, but can only have been helped by the Systema training he learnt from the book, was really quite rare to see in someone that is just over 20 years old.

    At one point, one of the branches he was standing on in an olive tree broke off underneath him and he simply fell to Earth as naturally as if he had chose to jump instead of been surprised by a suddenly broken branch.

    These are the things you cannot prepare for and that Systema training gives you without you even realising it.

    So, I shall begin to train again regularly, even as I continue to do a lot of physical work on the farm, as is required during spring.

    I hope those of you who read here will also try to take an interest, as it truly is a beneficial system for your body, mind and soul. The recent sponsorship of the trees, forcing me to say more prayers, together with physical training to limber me up more, is truly quite a wonderful and life-affirming thing. I hope you try similar things in ways that work for you.

      What 18-24 year olds need

      A couple of points of reference for context before I address the title of this post.

      1. Commenter Mark left the following on the previous post:

      “If we look at the Industrial Revolution etc, we see mostly low-IQ jobs getting automated… but current AIs are close to being able to automate a lot of ~100 IQ jobs, which will certainly pose more of a challenge to society (something something useless eaters something something depopulation…).

      Because AIs cannot think, however, ultimately humans will be needed to fix them. Care to guess whether our elites will realise this before it’s too late?

      Final thought: trust online will vanish when video AIs are perfected. Imagine both MSNBC & FOX swearing that THEIR version of the interview is the real one, and the other a deepfake. Or for that matter, me watching a Kurgan stream to see “you” declare yourself an atheist, whilst someone else watches the real one.”

      To which I replied:

      Yes, these issues are “REAL PROBLEMS” for people that are about 120 IQ or less. People like me understand something from two perspectives:

      1. Regression to analogue, human face to face, tribal, community systems of communication used by Cold War era spies and retrograding to not using any electronics beyond (maybe) a desktop to browse “current affairs” (current misinformation/propaganda), but in extremis even avoiding that altogether is a way of behaving that the globohomo enforcers will not know how to deal with and will ultimately fail at dealing with. You doubt it? See Vietnam. See Iraq. See Afghanistan. Or for that matter, see the Bundy Ranch when Federale turned up in 8 cars with guns and were faced with hundreds of cowboys with guns.
      Can they “git ya”? Sure. See Waco. See Ruby Ridge. BUT… anyone who has thought this through would be aware of those examples and have planned accordingly. Also, if SHTF to the point of a hot civil war, and that sort of thing going on, the defensive approach will also include offensive misdirections. Is it easy? No. Is it dangerous? Sure. But, can it work? Yes. If 90 IQ people on the other side of the planet can make it work, even 110 IQ people on this side can do so too.

      2. I have spent over 25 years in various African countries, been through at least one or two coups, massive rioting and changes of government, the collapse of Apartheid and lived in areas of extreme levels of crime that most human beings in the Western world simply can’t even imagine, never mind deal with. And guess what. The so-called super hi-tech US trained special ops people NEVER impressed me nor the people I worked with. It’s providential you posted this comment as it was going to be the next thing I address in future posts (as per my Covid Fatigue Post) and this makes a decent starting off point.

      2. This 17 minute video on Replika,

      which highlights even more starkly the current state of play in the AI business, the pit of despair of the young people it affects the most, and is primarily targeted to, and the outright greed and evil of the inventor and the people pushing it. It literally started from a ghoulish premise, launched itself into a parasitic spiral from the get go, and now is in a demonic/crushing the weak dynamic currently.

      3. The Current Zombie Apocalypse.

      I have, of course, discussed this at some length in various posts, but consider that today, the average young adult has been faced with:

      1. Constant social media upbringing, affecting their brain chemistry with dopamine and serotonin highs and lows as a result of purely manufactured artificial “content” online, which though not real, as in not in the flesh, has the same effect as if it were. And this has been by design, as various Faceborg whistle-blowers have explicitly clarified.
      2. They have been lied to on a global scale about not only all the same lies of history, both ancient and modern we GenXers were subject to, but additional super-emphasis on the absurd lies of :
      • Free Speech
      • Equality
      • Tolerance
      • Climate Change
      • Feminism
      • Girl Power
      • White Privilege
      • Endemic racism of Whites
      • There is only one race, the Human race
      • Violence is NEVER the answer (despite the fact that it has ALWAYS been the final answer throughout the entirety of human history, which is why governments try to retain a full monopoly on it)
      • Love is love
      • LGBTQ-Pedos are just like anyone else and their pedophelia is just another sexual attraction
      • LGBTQ-Pedos are born that way and this is why any who convert back to heterosexuality should be shut away and never heard from again
      • The Bible is evil and the Catholic Church is just a hive of Pedophiles (the Novus Ordo fake “Catholic Church’ is indeed, but that’s got nothing to do with actual catholicism, which has created the best conditions for human beings ever, in the entire history of mankind

      3. All of the above has been done to them with an economic situation and prospects for them that are even worse than what GenX was subjected to in our own young adult phase.

      4. Ubiquitous Pornography.

      Literally everywhere and a ridiculing of anyone even contemplating remotely the idea of marriage, children and a traditional family life. Why would you want that boring, vanilla life-style when you should be chasing Lamborghinis and a retinue of gold-digging whores right into sex-trafficking jail-time? The situation is dire in that the girls too are just as affected and many, especially in the USA will think nothing of “rainbow lipstick” parties, random hook-ups and so on. In short, the natural instinct for pair-bonding and K-selection reproduction strategy is intentionally, and quite successfully, being pivoted to r-selection version, with all the consequences of Mouse Utopia incoming at breakneck speed.

      Alright then, so WHAT do these poor young men and women need?

      I can tell you in a single sentence, but the problem is that most of them will do nothing about it. Many, if not most are functionally illiterate. Reading comes to them as calculus comes to the average Gender.

      They have very little motivation, fewer resources and they have been lied to on a scale that means they probably ignore most things regardless of who tells them what they can do to help themselves.

      So you still want it in a single sentence.

      Ok then. Here it is.

      You need:

      • To do some meaningful physical activity. Martial Arts would be top of the list for the males and Dancing (preferably of the classical variety, unfortunately the environment of such activities for girls is extremely degenerate, so a LOT of caution is required), learning how to play a musical instrument, long form writing, painting or some other artistic endeavour for girls. For Martial Arts, you can read this and apply the concepts in whatever martial arts class you can find near you. If you can’t afford to pay for classes, go ask anyway, any decent martial arts instructor will train people for free if they speak to him privately and he knows they cannot afford to pay full price. Usually he will ask some other kind of contribution, maybe you go in early to clean the dojo, or whatever. A young man who has taken this advice recently texted me the following:

      Maybe you’ll enjoy hearing this, I’ve been going over the Systema concepts again recently with the help of your book and applying it to my Brazilian jiu jitsu. Peoples takedowns if you don’t flinch/tense like a spastic are awful! I keep being able to take their back. Also keep getting asked if I do extra cardio. So I’m still an extreme beginner at Systema but it’s lending results

      • Read. And if you don’t know how to, LEARN. The best advice I can give you here is as follows: Dyslexia is largely bullshit and the result of being taught to read one word at a time instead of a single letter at a time to compose words. If you do it one letter at a time you can read anything. If you do it the other way, when you come across a word you never saw before your comprehension goes to shit for the whole page, paragraph or even chapter. One letter at a time is slower but gives you a huge advantage in comprehension. When you can read properly you can always speed up by learning how to speed read. Read a LOT of books. At age 12-19 or so I was reading on average 3-4 books a week. That’s not a lie and not an exaggeration or hyperbole. If you can’t afford to buy the books go to a library and use that. I read all sorts of stuff, from advanced physics and astronomy books to biology, to fiction, history, theology, and pretty much bunch of other topics. I will publish a list of non-fiction top books, but there is already a top list of fiction books here.
      • Interact with human beings face to face. It doesn’t matter how scared you are. It doesn’t matter if you have zero social skills. It doesn’t matter. Unlike swimming, if you try to interact with people in as normal a way as possible and fail, it will rarely get you killed, so you can try again, and again, and again, adjusting each time, learning each time, and gradually, as with anything, you will improve. It doesn’t matter how you start. If you’re an omega shut-in, start with a books club, or a martial arts class, or a yoga class, it doesn’t matter what. Go to a tango class and get really spun out. Just get some face to face time with other humans. If at all possible build friendships and have fun activities with them. I wrote a short but fun role-playing game precisely for this purpose, though most people assume it was some money-making thing. I assure you, the total revenue from selling a dozen of these books doesn’t even buy me a lunch. The cost is because it has a full colour art interior. The first module for those who don’t want to design their own adventure is not full colour interior.
      • Build up some kind of assets. Yes, the economy sucks. Yes, your savings may turn to Zimbabwean dollars from one day to the next. Nevertheless, get some kind of work and try, as best you can, to acquire some kind of property, even bare land is better than nothing. Keep in mind that you can buy run down shepherd huts with some land for under 30k Euro in various parts of Europe. I am sure the same is true in the USA and most places that are not Switzerland. Obviously, the more remote the place, the cheaper it might be, and the more difficult to build something on it down the line. But listen, when I was 26, I wrote the Face on Mars and printed it myself by using the printing machines of a printers throughout the night for a solid week. I only had a 1000 copies because that’s all I could afford to do and then I bust my ass going to sell them door to door at books hops to do signings that lasted a whole day. Carting the books and fold out tables and printing my own posters. Was it hard? Sure. But with he money from that I put a deposit down on a piece of land by the seaside in a remote place. more than 20 years later I sold it for over ten times the money I paid for it and used that money to put a deposit on the current place. And trust me, I am the absolute worst for long term asset planning. If I had given my future 10% of the attention I spent on so many other things, I would probably be comfortably retired now instead of struggling to reach month’s end every month. You can do much better than I did if you start now and keep this in mind.
      • Learn skills. Whenever possible learn a useful skill and try to get practical experience at it. Learn to weld, woodwork, do basic mechanics, basic electrical work, basic plumbing, basic building and farming. Learn to use firearms. And whatever else takes your fancy. I once had a Romanian girlfriend that had been a lingerie model who did not have a driving licence, but she had a pilot’s licence. She literally could fly a private plane, even though she did not have the legal requirements to drive a car, and had never learnt. It might be an odd thing, but she had taken the opportunity to learn when she could. That spirit is worth more than its weight in gold.
      • Learn about REAL Catholicism. Even if you are mostly illiterate, you can still pick up BELIEVE! which is a 2 hour read that has converted over 100 people. It doesn’t matter if you actually believe or not. The model is unsurpassed for creating successful communities, and frankly, also outstandingly heroic men and women that overcome absurd odds. So copy their template at the very least.

      LEARN ALL OF THESE THINGS AND BECOME GOOD AT THEM BEFORE YOU WORRY TOO MUCH ABOUT A LIFE PARTNER.

      The reason for this are multi-faceted.

      • You will prove to be far more attractive and worthwhile once you have mastered at least several of the items above. making it easier to attract and retain the person you find most suitable for you.
      • If you focus on getting a relationship when you have little to offer, even if your intent is good, the process of learning things while trying to maintain a long term relationship will add strain to it. While this can work to bring you closer faster, most women today will bail at the first difficulty.
      • Relationships are a complex minefield all its own and we will try o cover them in a later post in more detail. Besides, as you go about getting the above point into shape, you will invariably meet other people and you can begin to practice your in-person social skills there, even as you learn other things. Think more synergistically (how each skill set helps other skill sets) rather than sequentially (I must do A before B before C… etc)

      That’s it as a primer. The more comments, questions, etc I get, the more I can focus my subsequent posts to address specifics. I have received enough mail and advised enough young men to know what is required in generic terms, but I have no objection in principle to try to answer relevant specifics.

      I hope it helps, generation Zyklon. Now get to it.

        Vox Day, Joe Rogan and fighters vs training

        Vox recently made a couple of videos on his darkstream about fighting and the differences between that and training in a gym as well as some comments of Joe Rogan and Brazilian Jiujitsu practitioners that drew some fire by various offended parties.

        This topic could go on for hours, so I tried to limit myself only to step 1, the identifying of much of the bullshit that unfortunately is present in a lot of the martial arts world and even more so in the commentary on it.

          BJJ vs. Systema (Round II)

          Well, after my first foray into BJJ, I went to another session, this time with a man that had trained with the legend Rickson Gracie himself. His name is Antonio but they refer to him as Tunicão (Not sure of the spelling) and he´s the head instructor at El Greco´s place in Campeche (Florianopolis). El Greco is actually a Greek man called Christophoros Constantinidis and the gym is located in Travessa de Benção 191 Campeche. The sexy outfit of mismatched gi trousers and top, along with the green belt was very kindly lent to me by Christophoros. Read more »
