📘 Humans versus Politicals: A Summary
Neil Lock’s Humans versus Politicals is a sweeping indictment of modern political rule, cast as an existential threat to real civilisation. Drawing on ethics, history, and evolution, Lock argues that a parasitic, post-human class has taken over the institutions of government—and must be resisted. This is an update to the previous notice of his work. It contains futher updates.

🏛️ Popular Acceptance of All-Male Sex Among the Greeks
