I don't have objective qualifications as a judge of literary or artistic merit. My field of study at university was mathematics, and most of my working life was as a government statistician and tax examiner (don't worry, my political sympathies are MAGA and right wing). But to my mind (having been a follower of your material since I read this article when it appeared in The American Mind) you're one of the few (countable on less than the fingers of a hand) whose writing in quality consistently rises above the "soul-sapping ugliness of the modern world".
Love the article, despite having read some poison regarding BAP's sexual relationships with men and his background. I get that his book did some good overall.
Excellent content, as always. One question, though, regarding the “post fizeek” mention and BAP: there’s been speculation on X that his account pic isn’t actually him, but some queer soccer player from England(?). Would you happen to know if that’s true or not? I asked him (since we were mutuals since 2020), and he blocked me.

Well said, Bob.
I would challenge anyone to get their deadlift up and then try to pretend that it isn't much easier to carry their shopping in from the car.

Yeah it’s hard to take all this aesthetic masculine centric advice from an anon who won’t post body.
