What Have We Gotten Done?
Or at least, what has this blog gotten done?
Perhaps the most important thing this blog has accomplished is to help its readers understand – or at least get them arguing about! – the need for a movement that is more than merely political: a movement that is philosophically and theologically capable of defeating progressive postmodernism, physicalism, and nihilism; with new economics that can be defended against both communism and neo-liberalism; with new leadership that can effectuate change; and with cadres organized to do it.

- Why We Must Lay a New Foundation (Oct 18, 2021)
- Why Has Our World Gone So Crazy (Jul 28, 2022)
- The Physiocratic Platform (Nov 08, 2022)
- What is to Be Done (May 10, 2024)
- No, Really – What is to Be Done (May 17, 2024)
- Reenchantment, Rectification, Reckoning (May 24, 2024)

I’ve presented my accomplishments in what I consider their order of importance.
