Well met, friend.
Welcome to the notes from the Commander’s Cabin. I am Commander Radix and I use this Substack to post research notes and longer personal musings that are too long for my Twitter or too short/not yet fully developed to become videos on my YouTube channel (though some posts may turn into videos later on).
I am interested in the history of the world as well as other fields under the “humanities” or “social sciences,” especially religious studies, mythology, sociology, anthropology, philosophy, theology, and so on. On my main YouTube channel, I also make videos about the metafiction of the Transformers fictional universe (and related properties including G.I. Joe and more), particularly the 1984-2015 shared “Multiverse” period of work. On my second YouTube channel, I cover history and the lore of the real world including philosophy and mythology.
I am an Orthodox Catholic Christian in the care of the Eastern Church while my own private inclinations and devotions are much more Western due to my heritage — I deeply love all forms of traditional Christianity, especially the Western and particularly English manifestations of it. My understanding of history, other religions and mythology, and the world itself are seen through an enchanted Christian lens in the vein of Saints Dionysius the Areopagite, Justin Martyr, Gregory of Nyssa, Basil the Great, Boethius, Maximus the Confessor, or Nikolaj Velimirović.
I am a born and raised American Southerner with Okinawan heritage. In 2019, I moved to Okinawa.
