. . . at the conversational table of plenty that is the POSTMODERN CONSERVATIVE blog. Mr. Spiliakos, the most able and independent political voice in the blogosphere (check out his contributions at NO LEFT TURNS), opens below on the saddest of supermen (not Obama). Pete has joined Carl (and John) at the exceedingly high page grade of combo pop culture-political expert.
Pete has made the good point that every political thought here should be a separate post, even those that respond to others (that includes, of course, every contribution to such fields as Bachmann studies). With that in mind, I encourage others who think themselves ready and able to make authentically postmodern and conservative contributions on a semi-regular basis to consider contacting me to get the magical tools to make independent posts.
Dear Reader,
Can I be direct with you?
War abroad. Socialists on the rise. AI upending human life. Endless uproar online. The modern attention economy doesn’t want readers — it wants users enslaved to the tyranny of the present.
First Things is the antidote: literary excellence, timeless truths, and a fixed point of reference in a culture that has lost its bearings.
But we can’t do it without readers like you.
Our goal: Raise $150,000 by November 1 to sustain First Things in the year ahead.
Your gift anchors readers in the permanent things.

If you have any questions or would like more information, please contact Giovanni Del Piero, Director of the Editor’s Circle, at gdelpiero@firstthings.com or 212-627-1985.
