Last night I had occasion to contemplate beauty for awhile. Hours, as it were. I ended up binge watching videos by this female violinist named Lindsey Stirling. Turns out I have her discography up to like 2017 in my MP3 collection, but I don’t listen to a lot of music and as far as I was […]
There’s plenty in the news today, and I am inclined to recycle some social media and blog posts I’ve made in the last couple of days. For example, this email to my PO, and this detailed demonstration that Google and Microsoft are abusing their spam filters for political purposes. There are also some pretty troubling […]
In the practice of Realpolitik, it is typically considered ill advised to go out of one’s way to antagonize the greatest possible number of political participants with one’s speech.

We live in, interesting times, as goes the curse. The member chat this came in advance of has been published. Logged in subscribers can access it here. Toward the end of Monday’s public show, a caller brought up recent indictments in Charlottesville, Virginia, in which a Soros backed prosecutor has fulfilled his campaign promise by […]
The Wednesday night SurrealPolitiks members only video chats have been a lot of fun so far.

These can be viewed on our Entropy Channel, or listened to through our live audio player. We will aim to do this every Monday going forward, though we encourage you to stay tuned to our newsletter and […]
We would like to begin by thanking those of you who became members right away, even when there was not much in the way of benefits to this. Your support means the world to us, and as we have worked to produce content for the general public, we have also quietly been working on ways […]
Tonight at 8:00pm Eastern we will do our first live airing of the SurrealPolitiks Podcast! Stage One, Episode 2 (S01E002) is titled “Choice Architect” and the opening monologue will feature a short review of “Nudge” by Cass Sunstein and Richard Thaler. (Ad Disclosure) You can watch live video on our Entropy Page, and chat with […]
Not long after the SurrealPolitiks shop went live, we discovered a problem with our shipping calculator. Some shoppers were quoted shipping rates that ranged from overpriced to outrageous. This problem has been fixed, and below we’ll tell you what happened and how we will deal with this going forward. SurrealPolitiks does not mean to profit […]
