The Cathedral is the new matrix. Anyone familiar with Mencius Moldbug is familiar with this fact. We are trapped, ideologically, by the academic institutions that tell us how to think.

What Germany outlawing bestiality tells us about changing attitudes to sex

Once ‘inconceivable,’ Republican leaders sign pro-gay marriage brief
