I really enjoyed writing the last piece I did on the Marvel Cinematic Universe and philosophy, so I’m doing another one. This one will be focusing on the villain Ronan the Accuser and the conflicts that he’s involved with in primarily in the first Guardians of the Galaxy movie (though he appears in the movie Captain Marvel as well), and using that as a jumping-off point for exploring the ethics of warfare.

The Two Christianities
A Satanist Reads the Bible is getting big enough that I’m starting to get requests for topics, and one of the requests I’ve gotten a few times now is to do an examination of different denominations of the Christian religion. I think that this is an excellent choice for a topic.
Iron Man and the Ethics of Weapons Technology
The following is an introduction to a project I’d like to attempt: an in-depth look at the philosophical implications of the Marvel Cinematic Universe movies, and in particular their villains.
Dialectics
I’m going to start delving back into the theoretical underpinnings of my Satanic philosophy, but I need to do it better than the last time I attempted such a thing, and that will require laying some groundwork. When I started this project last year, I dove right into the philosophy, but didn’t spend much time at all covering the underlying concepts, and the result was some obscure, muddy writing. So I’m going to spend a few weeks here and there covering some of the foundational concepts upon which my philosophy is grounded. I’ve already covered Nietzsche at length, so at least that’s out of the way. Here, I’ll be exploring the nature of dialectics, and the Hegelian approach to dialectics in particular.
