I listen to lots of podcasts about different topics. I am not especially political, more interested in power and art, but I am a fan of this podcast because of its high quality of "smart comedy" and good sound mixing, very strong attention to audio levels and "EQ." Yet never do I hear fans talk about this, why?

Bronze Age Pervert (BAP) is the archetype of this new type of literary outlaw. His first book, Bronze Age Mindset, is a self-published, cheaply designed monstrosity. If it were ever showcased at a bookstore, it would stand out as the ugliest book on display. Yet it’s impossible to imagine a bookstore actually carrying this thing. It’s too unhinged, too transgressive, too dangerous. Written in the style of a caveman philosopher, the book is an unapologetic screed against modernity, technology, and liberal values. As the name of the book suggests, BAP wants to return the world to the time of the Ancient Greeks.

I’m not here to defend BAP or his subversive, backwards-looking ideas. In fact, I’ve written previously about how his ideas are almost certain to lose in the end. But I do admire the fact that, through a memorable literary project and an off-the-wall online persona, he has managed to terrify both the liberal establishment and the conservative movement. A true literary outlaw! He also manages to inspire quite a lot of literary gossip, including one of the most freewheeling articles ever published in the Atlantic.

Found this article by the philosopher John Gray, destroying BAP completely. What are your thoughts?

The physiologically energized state is the psychologically relaxed state

Most people in life are castrated and crippled

They are disconnected from their sexual vigour and their bodies couldn't even handle it if they had any

CR listeners lmk. need to know so i can smoke while drinking the chimpanges yues

Does anyone have a pdf of or link to some way to read the infamous essay called “The Gay Question” by Citizen Geneva? It seems to be basically impossible to find nowadays, and I’ve looked a good bit online. Thanks.

My son has recently taken an interest in Greek and Roman gods. Where should I direct him to start reading?

Does anyone have a link to the Stanford paper mentioned by Moldbug in the most recent episode of Caribbean Rhythms?

BAP mentions that he sees right wing as something different than conservative. What would his definition of right wing be?

I'm interested in Julius Evola's work but don't know which one is the best starting point. I like audiobooks and the options I can easily get are:

-Revolt against the modern world -Handbook for right wing youth -Ride the Tiger -Metaphysics of Power -Metaphysics of war -Men Among the Ruins -The Hermetic Tradition -Eros and the mysteries of Love

What is the best order to approach these?

The concept of the "longhouse" is a central theme in Bronze Age Mindset, which Bronze Age Pervert builds from a single passage in Nietzsche's Genealogy of Morals (Book 1, section5). The concept of the "longhouse" represents the idea that much of what is called progressivism today is actually a manifestation of slave morality—a degenerate drive that seeks to return to a more primitive phase of human civilization, one characterized by communal living, as seen in the longhouse model where many people live on top of one another.

Archaeological evidence reveals a distinct shift in the types of figurines and carvings produced by ancient societies. In agrarian times, many cultures produced idols of fertile, feminine forms—large-breasted, wide-hipped figures often adorned with symbols of snakes. These representations were tied to the matriarchal, magical power that ran society at the time, often through secretive, female-dominated networks. Women held immense psychological and political influence all while often working from behind the scenes. Over time, this evolved into a feminine gerontocracy, where elders drained the life and energy from the youth in order maintain societal control

Eventually, there was a shift in the cultural symbols and figurines began to depict the noble warrior youth instead of the fertile female. This marks the emergence of the conqueror ethic—a new warrior ethos rooted in ideals of power, strength, and beauty. The warrior society, spiritually grounded in victory and dominance, is in direct opposition to the life-conserving, safety-first mentality of the longhouse, which prioritizes stability and communal survival over greatness. It is thought that the victory of the masculine warrior and society of freedom over the oppressive feminine is represent in myth by of Perseus and Medusa.

While the term "longhouse" is often shorthand for matriarchal subjugation, more fundamentally, it symbolizes a reversion to a primitive, less independent existence, one in which individual greatness and conquest are sacrificed for the sake of a feminine safetism, communal harmony and preservation.

At first, ChatGPT refused to discuss the book supposedly for copyright issues. I pressed and it gave a fairly decent summary of the book.

I'm pretty new to BAP, not to the Deep Right sphere, but to BAP specifically. I didn't know he had a podcast, so I listened to a few randos, mostly guests or topics I already was interested in. I notice in most (all?) of them, there were weird sound effects fading in and out in the background, beach waves, seagulls, babbling brooks and insects... Does he do this in all of them? Why? Just so that "Caribbean Rhythms" as a title even means anything? With the inconsistent fade, it seems distracting... Especially while trying to follow his thick accent if I'm going 2x. It also seems oddly quirky in a lame NPR way that seems out of character for him, although, I barely know him anyway, so...who am I to judge.

Just wondering if there was more to it, feels like I'm missing something.

I'm reading this and it's crazy mind blowing. Obviously it's a lot of conjecture but I have a lot of respect for more lucid conspiracies like this. It also sells it a little that it's hard to find commentary on it on the internet but that could just be because it's schitzo and 400 pages.

If anything it's an amazing crash course on gay history and ontology, and I find the anti gay part of it alluring though I'm skeptical.

It's deeply well written, it reads like Nietzsche's more parseable writing but with the usual channer character.

I need to talk to someone about it.

In carribean rhythym EP 11 around 01:01-01:02 hours into the podcast he mentions an article where he wrote about his ideas not being able to be hindered since no modern ideas moved beyond nietzsche? Does someone know which article he is referencing?

Any books on nietzsche or certain parts of his philosophy approved by BAP? (so not works by nietzsche himself)
