    Let Truth and Falsehood Grapple

    Let’s get one thing straight right out of the gate: John Milton’s Areopagitica, published on November 23, 1644, is the single most important prose defense of free speech ever written in the English language. Full stop. Nothing else comes close. Not Locke’s Letter Concerning Toleration, not Mill’s On Liberty, not even Holmes’ Abrams dissent. Those are all brilliant, but they’re footnotes to Milton. Areopagitica is the headwaters.

    Here is a **150-word introduction** specifically tailored **for the outline** you’re building, keeping the tone sharp, skeptical, poetic, and grounded in your frustration with Congress. No em dashes. Proper paragraphs. --- The story begins on the island of Pharos, where Menelaus sat stranded with treasure in his hull and no wind in his sails. He discovered the reason for his misery only when the old sea god revealed the truth. Menelaus had been so focused on gathering wealth that he forgot the sacrifice owed to the gods. His neglect trapped him. His arrogance stalled him. His failure of duty held him in place. That ancient lesson fits our moment with uncomfortable precision. While Menelaus wrestled for a way forward, our own leaders seem content to count their gold on the shore. Two modern politicians have enriched themselves while forgetting the tribute owed to the Republic and to the people who sent them to serve. Their actions reveal capriciousness, not duty. Today we will explore why this keeps happening and whether the nation still deserves better leadership.

  • The Most Beautiful Islands in the World

    The Most Beautiful Islands in the World
    2025/11/22
    I first learned about the Juan Fernández Islands from a documentary so spectacularly awful that it almost looped back around to brilliance. It was called Apocalypse Island, a kind of budget fever dream that promised ancient secrets, apocalyptic codes, and a stone monument that was supposed to point to the end of the world or something equally profound. The “history” in it was a wreck. The claims were laughable, the scholarship was nonexistent, and the tone landed somewhere between late night infomercial and campfire ghost story. As a historian it made my teeth hurt. But here is the problem. It was gorgeous. The cameras lingered on steep green mountains that rose straight out of the ocean, sea mist curling around basalt cliffs, clouds dragged low across knife edged ridges, and tiny boats nosing into emerald coves that looked like they had never heard of the twenty first century. For all the nonsense, the setting got under my skin. I walked away from that ridiculous program not convinced that the islands held prophetic secrets, but absolutely convinced that I wanted to go there one day. I wanted to see the real place, not the fantasy version. The Juan Fernández Islands do not need invented mysteries. Their actual history, and their fragile present, are more than enough.
