It was a real honor to be asked to participate on C Derick Varn's podcast, 'The Varn Vlog Interviews,' to discuss the origins of German Romanticism and speak about the importance behind F. W. J. Schellingβs Philosophy! Looking forward to March 31st when this episode airs.
Another post that owes a lot to @nieaufgehenderrest.bsky.social & @mattpolprof.bsky.social work on postmodern conservatism. Might be of interest to @matthewshadle.bsky.social followers too. www.erikhaines.org/p/the-lost-r...
I have @nieaufgehenderrest.bsky.social to thank for this one since he introduced me to Shaul's work. That said, it might also be of interest to @mattpolprof.bsky.social & some of his followers.

I have met so many people in Academia, who refer to me as "friend" and who I thought were my friends. I went out of my way to help promote their work and share their ideas with the world only for those same "people" behind closed doors to say some very nasty things about me and even gossip to their
One of the highlights of my academic career was when The Faculty of Graduate Studies at York University featured an expose on my YouTube Series: The Young Idealist Series. In July of 2025, FGS posted a short article in their monthly review of current student academic achievements. #TheYoungIdealist
My series was brought to their attention by the Chair of the Department of Humanities; Dr. Victor Shea, who was impressed by my work & by the series. It was truly an honor to be featured in FGS' Monthly review & to have my series nominated for spotlight in July by Dr. Shea and FGS. #TheYoungIdealist

Ok fine. Sometimes the internet is still a wondrous place. Just found a full PDF of H.E.G. Paulus's unauthorized publication of Schelling's 1841-42 lectures on the Philosophy of Revelation. If you're interested in a copy hit me up. The file is huge but I'll do my best to get it to you.
