In this week’s episode, we review the past year on DarkHorse, recalling stories about Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (the former president of Harvard, Boeing, Kamala Harris, Secret Service, tortillas); food (seed oils, tallow, and types of fat; the food compass; microbeef sushi; the perfect potato); pharma (vaccines and the CDC, Ozempic, Bovear, sunscreen); the Earth’s magnetic field and pole shifts; the WHO; the need for natural history museums; gender ideology (WPATH, pup handlers, the Olympics, Imane Khelif); immigration and the southern border; Julian Assange’s release; the First Amendment and the Supreme Court; the election, Rescue the Republic, and Unity; and some cool biology (octopi have old sex chromosomes; fish with “legs” that can taste; an orangutan who heals wounds with leaves; and frogs in saunas). Then: predictable fissures are arising in the MAGA – MAHA – Unity coalition. How should we think about them, and how can we protect MAHA from a battle between food and pharma?

Title: Failure to Launch
Subtitle: The end of playbooks
Have you ever seen the episode of The Simpsons where Homer Simpson becomes a boxer? Moe discovers that Homer has an unusually thick skull, so he puts him in the ring. Homer keeps winning, not because he’s skilled, but because his opponents get exhausted punching him in the head. Eventually, they wear themselves out, and Homer just pushes them over.
That feels analogous to what I see happening to the American public over the last few years.
In my opinion, the United States was supposed to have a full-blown revolution during the BLM riots of 2021. The conditions were there: widespread anger, media and institutions providing what looked like unconditional support, political support, and a fog of war that had most white people reeling, even today.
After Occupy Wall Street, for example, several journalists noted a dramatic shift in media and institutional reforms, pointing out massive spikes in Google Trends for words like slavery, racism, and ...
Leviathan’s Mal-adapted Immune Response
I think what I see in society, and in individuals, including myself, is a kind of hyper-sensitized moral immune system: one that reacts aggressively to certain forms of bigotry while remaining apathetic toward others. For example, I see open hostility toward Muslims or Somalians while the U.S. Attorney General, Pam Bondi, delivers a speech addressing the expulsion of a student at Florida State University for verbally attacking another student who was wearing an IDF shirt.
What I think may be happening to our society is that we have been given social vaccines repeatedly throughout our lives. Our moral outrage has been trained, or conditioned, to be hyper-focused in some directions and largely inactive in others. And, to be honest, if there were a button that many of my friends could press that would instantly remove every Russian from the planet, I think some of them would press it without hesitation.
So why do I bring this up? Because a maladapted social immune ...
Title: Melisandre the Red Woman
Subtitle: How she captured my imagination
At first, I hated Melisandre, the Red Woman, an ominous priestess demanding blood sacrifice and using dark rituals in service of Stannis Baratheon, whom she believes to be a prophesied savior. Early on, I thought she was the devil: willing to burn the innocent, convinced that her god’s will justified any atrocity.
But her character became interesting to me once the threat of the White Walkers became known. In that moment, she spared the life of Davos Seaworth, Stannis’s Hand. That moment really struck me when, the pragmatism behind her decisions and how she completely recalculated everything upon learning of the threat of the north.
From then on, Melisandre became one of my favorite characters. As much as I hated her, it became clear that she wasn’t acting out of emotion or hatred, but out of an ideological belief, and at a level that I will never understand, that at some level, she believed she was doing what had ...
