Greg Johnson began a five-week course on Plato’s Gorgias on the latest broadcast of Counter-Currents Radio, which will continue for the next four Saturdays (July 1, 8, 15, and 22). The first lecture, which both introduces the dialogue as a whole and also examines Socrates’ argument with the great Sophist Gorgias, can be heard at the following link: https://counter-currents.com/2023/06/counter-currents-radio-podcast-no-538-greg-johnson-on-platos-gorgias-lecture-1/

The theme of the course is “Might vs. Right.” Every educated person should be familiar with Plato, but higher education today is usually a barrier to understanding the great thinkers of the past. Hence the need for Counter-Currents, which Jonathan Bowden described as an online university of the Right.
The Union Jackal pays us his monthly visit with the story of Cambridge University's Department of Anglo-Saxon, Norse and Celtic deciding that Anglo-Saxons don't exist; a scandal erupting in a school because one of its students identifies as a cat; whether the Empire Windrush, a ship that brought more than a thousand blacks to the UK in 1948, was really the result of Britain looking for cheap labor — and more. https://counter-currents.com/2023/06/the-union-jackal-june-2023/

The chances of white men becoming J-woke increase in proportion to:

1. IQ
2. Education
3. Socioeconomic status
4. Time

No wonder the ADL is deeply concerned.

Thomas Steuben's essay on George Friedman's 2009 book The Next 100 Years, looking at what the 14 years since have shown us about what he is getting right and wrong and how it might explain some of the strange decisions that the Washington elite has been making, has been paroled from the paywall. https://counter-currents.com/2023/05/george-friedmans-the-next-100-years/

LAST CHANCE to pre-order The Trial of Socrates at the sale price!

The trial of Socrates is a pivotal event in world history. Before Socrates, philosophy had put society on trial. Now society was striking back.

The Trial of Socrates first presents the case for the prosecution based on Aristophanes’ comedy Clouds, which mocks Socrates as a preacher of atheism and moral corruption. The case for the defense is drawn from five of Plato’s dialogues, which explore the permanent tensions between intellectual freedom and social order, as well as how they might be harmonized.
