Hindu ( ॐ ) Depiction The traditional guru–disciple ( गुरु-शिष्य ) relationship Cultural Appropriation | Wednesday – October 21, 2026 T here has been and there is still quite a lot of talk about the concept of cultural appropriation, particularly within identity discourse , and while some of these people may have certain valid points, my aim with this post is not really to agree with these people as much as it is about attempting to describe a real behaviour. Now, I should preface this post by stating that I do not care for the behaviour of other people and I do not seek to regulate or control the behavior of other people. These points are merely observations about a very real thing in the world, whether or not you like it, or indeed whether or not I like it.

Men have lost their sense of beauty and quality, and so we are left with a world that lacks any true sense of the sacred, which can make it rather hard to even attempt to write about issues of this nature, but my fellow dreamers I have been compelled, f...

Photograph of the Atlas globe Is Diplomacy Worthwhile? Monday – October 19, 2026 T oday the world seems rather more dangerous than what it is, read " The State of Geopolitics ", or rather than what one objectively can assert, relying of course entirely on the still common reference point of history . Of course, the matter of diplomacy seems also rather more important today, and perhaps this is true and perhaps this is why I should write about the subject of diplomacy, but allow me to first attempt to point out the fact that there is an argument against diplomacy today, or rather an argument in favour of more personal and private diplomatic channels. You see, it seems to me that institutions such as the UN (United Nations) work poorly, and yes the argument is and should perhaps be that the UN works poorly because the nations that make up the UN have refused to grant it more power and influence, and I suppose then that the Secretary General of the UN António Guterres functions ...
