Make sure you've caught up on the latest from The Paradox Press!

We've had a busy week at The Paradox Press.

On Wednesday, I continued my conversation with Dr. Philip Bunn on the great American novel East of Eden. In this discussion we talked about the second half of the book, why Calvinism appears in Steinbeck’s writings, and our anticipation of the new Netflix series.

On Thursday we released our newest essay from Dr. David Deavel on how G.K. Chesterton predicted the modern psychological movement and its power over the State. The essay includes one of the best poems Chesterton ever wrote—it’s a must-read if you want to know why the West is the way it is today.

Also on Thursday we released this week’s Thursday Club Note, in which I discussed why artificial intelligence is, at its core, anti-human. I talked about why the desire of tech oligarchs like Elon Musk and Sam Altman to make our world a workless world is very, very bad. Sign up to read!

The Great If: Being Prophet Pilled

Chesterton’s moral edge is found in his observations about the problems in our civilization. “Civilization has run on ahead of the soul of man,” he wrote in 1902, “and is producing faster than he can think and give thanks.”

Jesus is more than the Son of God; he is God the Son. He is a member of the Triune Godhead who exists eternally in a filial relationship with God the Father.

Redefining Death for Organ Donation

I’ll never forget the long look that doctor gave me over his surgical mask. “Why don’t you give a consciousness blocker…just in case,” he said, and walked away. To my regret, despite my doubts, I did as I was told.
The Freedom to Feed Ourselves

The Freedom to Feed Ourselves

A nation cannot remain free if its people lose control over the necessities of life. Food is one of them.

Disciplines, Studies, and the Flourishing of the Academy

Many such programs can be justly described as Grievance Studies, the aggrieved party lending its name to the enterprise... It is worth considering why this so readily happens.

Chesterton and the Tyranny of the Medical State

Dr. Fell might have been a fictional representation of the doctors claiming total control over a society. Dr. Fauci is not. What joins them is the use of incantations invoking “science” to grasp power over ordinary lives—for our own good, of course. Of course. Right?
