Finding Consolidation with Boethius: Navigating Injustice in a Modern Age
In the early 6th century, Boethius, once an esteemed Roman statesman and philosopher, was wrongfully imprisoned and stood on the precipice of execution. Amidst this profound injustice, he composed a work contemplating the nature of fortune in a world where the wicked often thrive and the virtuous are mercilessly punished.
Today, many dissident right-wingers in the West resonate with Boethius's ordeal, recognizing that the righteous are often sidelined or maligned, while those with harmful intents and evil views seem to gain undue recognition and favor.
Join us as we:
- Dive deep into this impactful text, drawing parallels between Boethius's dire circumstances and our own, seeking guidance and understanding.
- Engage in thorough, thought-provoking discussions, merging the sagacity of the past with the challenges and perceptions of today.
- Foster a community bound by resilience and unity, drawing strength from shared experiences and convictions.
We are in search of members who are ardently committed to rigorous exploration, thoughtful dialogue, and a genuine engagement with both the literature and the complexities of our contemporary landscape. If you're not prepared for such depth and commitment, this may not be your group.
Schedule:
Meetings will be every Sunday, for seven weeks, at 7:00 EST in a private Telegram chat to discuss Boethius' Consolation of Philosophy.

Amidst the vast tapestry of trees that graces da U.P., the tamarack stands out as a testament to the region's beauty. Often referred to as the "American larch", this conifer has a special trick up its sleeve - it's deciduous! Unlike most conifers, tamaracks shed their needles in the fall, joining deciduous trees in displaying gorgeous fall colors.
With slender, flexible branches and soft, bluish-green needles, the tamarack paints a serene picture against the backdrop of Yooperland landscapes. Come autumn, these trees undergo a spectacular transformation. Their needles turn a brilliant golden yellow, creating an enchanting contrast with the evergreens and adding a burst of color to Superior's already breathtaking fall foliage.
Whether you're hiking in the Porcupine Mountains, kayaking through the wetlands, or just taking a scenic drive, keep an eye out for the tamarack. This tree is a reminder of the beauty that can be found in every corner of Yooperland.
