On Katechonic Space and the Problem of Naming the Katechon

Written in April and May 2024; Published in March 2026

The problem with using the katechon as a rationalization for action, is that with many parties involved and with a complicated (and malicious) information environment – it becomes harder to know if our countries are the good guys acting in self defense, or are the bad guys using a good-guy mask to gain sympathy while intentionally doing bad actions.

Eric Voeglin’s lesson for us is that it is wrong to immanentize the eschaton. Byrne Hobert and Tobias Huber’s lesson for us is that it is wrong to immanetize the katechon. But these two are not enough, because simply attempting to definitively name the katechon (even if one doesn’t work to bolster it) dramatically increases the risk of immanentizing it. Or, naming could lead to the problem of rationalizing no action in analyzing alternative options to the katechon at hand. Because if...

Palantir and Pedophile detection

Palantir has been around since what… mid 2000s?

And they’ve had access to MASSIVE amounts of data on peoples bank accounts and movements. It’s effectively a privatized version of the surveillance systems that Snowden revealed.

How could they not know about the pedophile control and blackmail systems that are now being exposed?

Why would Shyam or anyone else affiliated with Palantir need to call for an unlimited Schmittian exception right now of all times? Is it possible that their unlimited surveillance and business model collapses if the rules-based order is actually enforced within a country and outside a country, including civil liberties protections in the USA?

If international order is based on international law and country-to-country treaties and alliances, which are always negotiated and very flexible, then there’s no need to declare a Schmittian exception with Shyam’s...

On Undefined Emergency Power

From the very first sentence you can tell this guy Shyam Sankar is an idiot. Ignore Shyam and this “Mobilize” book entirely:
https://x.com/ssankar/status/1976291588524630318?s=46

“Undeclared state of emergency” is Schmittian and even worse, by not declaring the emergency he is declaring some kind of unlimited scope in the first sentence. This is the exact unlimited Schmittian power approach that my essay “Catastrophe of the Soul” breaks.

What does “adversaries circling” even mean? Who are these adversaries?

China has made clear multiple times that they do not wish for war and for America to fall. The press has reported on the recent peaceful collaborations between the two nations clearly:
https://apnews.com/article/us-china-trump-xi-iran-call-441425004d3d695df87f3f7c0b62492e

There is a path for the US and China and all states to collaborate on solving big problems, bringing...

On Wearing a Hat in the Church during Mass as a Woman

Today at Mass I noticed a woman wearing a hat during the service. It was not a veil, it was clearly a hat. I did not know this, but it seems that John Paul II updated the protocol on hats in 1983 for both men and women.

I will never wear a hat in church as a man out of my own choice. Despite it not being against church protocol, I don’t think other men should wear hats in church either since it is ambiguous for now as to what it means. However, I have come to learn that based on this update, for women a hat is viewed as a sign of submission (the same as a veil). Perhaps we could view it as an optional sign of submission for men too when they wear a hat in church until the Pope clarifies the matter?

I almost spoke up to this woman to ask her to remove her hat today, but considered it the place of the priest in the church to provide guidance. It is important for the wider church body...

Poems from June 2025

A few poems I wrote in late June 2025 while traveling in Italy and Japan.

Prayer of Warlords against War

Christ Lord,
May those who consider me an enemy find the courage to fight openly if they find it necessary to fight at all.

May those who consider me an enemy know or find and then keep some love in their hearts, for someone or some place or best of all for you.

May those who consider me an enemy be blessed with good health and wealth.

May those who consider me an enemy have peace of conscience and no anxiety.

May those who consider me an enemy gain the blessings of a holy family and laughing, smiling, learning and healthy children.

May those who consider me an enemy live into old age and have the blessing of seeing their work help others.

May those who consider me an enemy come to understand that the only true human enemy is an unrepentant and unloving self, of which we cannot fix or fight without your grace and the help of family, friends and strangers.

May those who...

Board of Peace is a bad idea

And everyone knows it. Donald Trump should not be Chairman for life, nor should he be chairman even for a day.

There are many more candidates who would be better for a project like this.

Jared’s firm resolve around making sure that Gaza gets rebuilt well (despite financial incentives he may have), with no backup plan, is the right approach. Jared’s energy has been really impressive lately, and he seems well intentioned on listening to all parties and stating the hard truths so that all can hear them. Putin’s firm resolve that it must be a separate full-state is also courageous and the right direction.

I cannot believe I’m saying/writing this, but if there is a board of peace for Palestine, then Jared or Putin would be much better candidates to chair the board, and for a term of 5 minimum and 10 maximum years.

If either of those as candidates angers you, then that should tell...

Moving to Alaska

Change of plans. I’m moving to Alaska for a period. Maybe for a long time. Probably Anchorage, but not sure yet.

I’ve been praying over this today January 12th 2026 and yesterday. In addition to my wide thinking and leadership responsibilities, I will be seeking a simple job for nearterm cash and also as a way to rest my always-thinking brain.

Why Alaska? I don’t know, other than it feels right based on my prayers. I don’t know anyone there, and I haven’t been there before. And maybe that’s part of why it fits. All of my decisions over the last year have been determined entirely by this same prayerful searching method. I’ll get a strong gut reaction that something is right and then I’ll slowly unravel the puzzle. It feels similar to how my music writing would happen many years ago, with an initial hook or lyric or riff expanding into something much bigger.

One new element I feel...

Next Travel Plans January 2026

I am currently wrapping up some next steps in filings and data submissions for my divorce case.

Where historically I have been a very private person, I now believe because of my writing work that my only option moving forward is to be extremely open and non-private with everything possible now and in the future. I am considering publishing my full disclosures / diligence for the court case also publicly.

With my next divorce court dates in late February, I have a few travel plans that I am booking now in the next few weeks before then. Currently in my plans are Rome, Venice, London, Jerusalem and Taiwan. I was not able to visit a few of these spots on prior trips only because of limited time. So I am excited to finally visit each of them. I also need to find time to visit Singapore, Sydney, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Kuala Lumpur, and revisit San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York City...
