Theodore Beale, who goes by the pen name Vox Day is a writer who shows up on his blog, Vox Popoli. It is there he holds court with his supporters, the "Dread Ilk." He it was who did so much to promote the Red Pill or "Game Theory of Socio-sexual Response" -- it's a body of Social Psychology discovered through testing in the field. Thus, the "game theory" part; you play scenarios repeatedly until you understand the algorithms of the programming, so to speak. He's hardly alone, but did more than any other single writer to popularize it by formalizing the results of this field testing with real human women. He's the one who developed the concept of Sigma Male (along with Delta, Gamma, Lambda, Omega, etc.). His broad theory in general is quite consistent with biblical teaching, but his advice is often pagan.
He's also a libertarian theorist who researches and writes about economics, history, and fairly mainstream Christian theology. He's a very engaging writer and has some profitable fiction out there along with some other stuff that could qualify as philosophy and logic. He's a major proponent of Aristotelian epistemology. He's up there in the genius category of intelligence, but refuses to discuss any research into Biblical epistemology. Some day I hope God touches him and turns him around.

Plenty of what he teaches overlaps what we teach here, at least socio-politically. He uses different terminology and comes from a very different philosophical background, so he can be right about certain things for the wrong reasons.
