Archive.org’s preservation of inchoatus.com, a dead website that used to publish conservativish, libertarianish, Christianish reviews of science fiction and fantasy. Orson Scott Card is lazy. The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant is deep and profound. Michael Flynn’s Firestar series is brilliant (it really is). Cryptonomicon is more gold than gold. If you like those, you should read all of the Gene Wolfe reviews. Then you should read all of Gene Wolfe.

Nice to see Texas is getting into the micro-distillery game…
Like that logical fallacy poster; I’ve downloaded one, and passed the link along to some friends doing a study on reason.
Like that defunct magazine; I’ve always been a fan of sci-fi, but in recent years, I’ve come to particularly appreciate Christian sci-fi writers, e.g. Cordwainer Smith, Walter J. Miller, Jr., and others.
Great mix of links, Matthew!

Thanks for that last link. I recently thought about Thomas Covenant’s Land being a mirror image of Narnia: the world itself is fundamentally corrupted, but its inhabitants are not fallen. To think I avoided picking it up for years because of there being a ring on the spine of the books.

Cordwainer Smith is one of my favorites. Psychological Warfare, his magnum opus under his real name, Paul Linebarger, was recently republished. I bought a copy, but found it was less instructional than historical. To someone skeptical of democracy and the two 20th century wars against the Germans, the book came across as extremely creepy. I should offer to buy Moldbug a copy.

I have Smith’s collected works; I would be interested indeed to read his non-fiction, like Psychological Warfare.

Pecan rum sounds like a fruity drink. Have you tried it, Matthew?

Svar, I have disposed of many a bottle. I’m sure that lesser drinkers than myself might be tempted to mix the rum with something fruity, but it is just fine for sipping on its own. The pecan adds a hint of bitterness that offsets the usual rum sweetness just enough that I can enjoy it.

Ahh, I see. So the pecans actually make it a tad bit bitter. Hmm… I thought this pecan rum was a sort of sugary flavored rum, but hey, if you recommend it, then it’s probably worth drinking.
I’ve never been much of a rum or gin drinker. Usually whiskey, tequila, and vodka for me.
