Sorry for the thin content here – we have one week here in Brooklyn till the movers come, and plowing through 40 years’ accumulated detritus, sorting what is to be moved, stored, sold, donated, and jettisoned, while taking care of last-minute medical stuff before we move 300 miles away from where all our doctors are, […]

Gone

I lost a friend last Monday. His name was Alan Chevat. He was 72. I met Alan about twenty years ago when he came to study at the Yee’s Hung Ga kwoon in Brooklyn, where I was an instructor. We became friends right away. Alan was a very interesting man. He was Chief Attorney in […]

Chaos 1, Order 0

Here’s Steve Sailer, writing about this at Taki’s Magazine. Prediction: as this motte becomes indefensible, “luck egalitarianism” will […]

Prime Time!

Tucker Carlson interviewed Curtis Yarvin, AKA “Mencius Moldbug”, for an hour today. That’s quite a development, I think. Back at the end of July, I noted in a Twitter thread that a new and influential troika had taken shape: “Moldbug, [Michael] Anton, and BAP [“Bronze Age Pervert”] have emerged as the three corners of the […]

Crunch Time!

September 8, 2021 – 11:23 am

The lovely Nina and I, having sold the house in Brooklyn that we’ve lived in for almost 40 years, now have about three weeks to clear out of the place before closing with the buyers on or around September 30th. After a fantastic weekend of music in Maine, we are driving down to NY today […]

Service Notice

September 2, 2021 – 2:06 pm

I’m off to Maine for my annual musical retreat. (Used to be on Star Island, but now Maine for logistical reasons.) It’ll be good to push the world away for a minute and just make music with old friends. (These are the same folks I’ve been making those collaborative “lockdown’ videos with, for example this […]
