Blood & RainBlood & Rain Episode 93: An Intro to F. Scott FitzgeraldIf one is to understand America in the evolution it’s in now, the iteration of which will remain until America is destroyed or evolves once again, you’ll read “The Great Gatsby.” New York is a microcosm for the health and psyche of the nation, and the author of America’s magnum opus is a man who places his soul into its titular character. Fitzgerald wrote in a time of the American identity crisis masked with glitz and glam that was known as the Jazz Age. Aristocratic families fell out of...

Blood & RainBlood & Rain Episode 92: Ius Public Europeaum Pt 3 Featuring: MercatoresThe most fantastical period of European history is rooted in the events surrounding one man, one Caesar of his age embodying both Julius and Augustus as a general and political operator respectively. He moulded Europe to his will for better or for worse often times for worse fueled by his ambitious and precise tactics, his “living off the land” logistical strategies, his consolidation of legislature in his Napoleonic code, his theatrics in war and in coup, his crowning himself Emperor without any attempt to legitimize his power before God, his countless beatings of Central-European foes...

America’s obsession with the flawed protagonist not always operating in the interest of upholding the highest morality standard is a reflection on its idleness as a nation in the post-Cold War Era. No clear enemy and Godlessness lead to fascinations in behaviors that point downward. We grew bored with heroes as they should be. We grew bored with flawed heroes who eventually conquer their one fatal flaw. We only wanted the ones who plunge into indulgence of s...

Blood & RainBlood & Rain Episode 30: Escaping the Teenage WastelandFar too much has been held hostage by entities that were ultimately just wearing shrouds of deception.Words of the English lexicon have been demonized, distorted, and deteriorated for all of the wrong reasons.To define is to limit, but limitations placed upon language are placed for the sake of clarity. The clarity is the foundation. To throw away the original meanings of words destroys any foundation for the poetic realm to flourish.

Where did man go wrong?
Which sections of our primal nature are we meant to fully embrace, and which are meant to be left behind in our attempt to grow closer towards enlightenment?
It’s an ongoing, surgical, trial and error process to say the least.

It's astonishing how a man can find memories in a place he has never preciously set foot in.
Some places could be mistaken as a home, but in truth are places of pilgrimage.

For every force is a counterforce? Some things have no true equal however. Some first movers can never be “outworked.” The greatest grand strategist truly “has no shadow due to change.” Some counterbalances aren’t counterbalances at all. They’re simply the same entity with the truth of conflict simply being in far distant perspectives. Is time linear? Is it cyclical? Is it both? How does one navigate this as a man of a polytheistic faith? How does one navigate this as a man of an Abrahamic faith? How does one navigate if he’s not...

We know of our parents, and we know of our homelands. We know of our affinities, and we know of our nature. Much of this has been attributed to either our parents or to ourselves.

THE SUBCONSCIOUS IS THE BACKGROUND WORLD.
Everything is fractal.
Not just the aforementioned narratives making or breaking your mind and life.
There are many tools at our disposal.
Darker forces know this better than most
This dynamic will be changed.
Wisdom can no longer be hidden in the name of man not being ready yet.
Sometimes being ready is accepting that we're not ready.
It's either take the path or get picked apart.
These paths are many and are all the same path.

Yet we suddenly assumed in its latest and greatest trial that the equation had changed.
Modern warfare made us believe the lie that the cycle had been broken.
But Shakespeare warned us of this in one of his final works.
Shakespeare broke his own rules, so we would not break ourselves.
One grand war told once more
In exchange for our Great War.
Yet we couldn't seem to shake it for a hundred years.
The psyche of the world is healing now.
