Arthur Machen is a good example of this - a major writer in the decadent movement, and a high church anglican who joined the order of the golden dawn and ended his life as a Catholic.
David Quinn@DavQuinn
Why did so many self-styled 'Decadents' like Oscar Wilde eventually becomes Catholics? As 'Converts' author Melanie McDonagh explains, their decadence and then their Catholicism were partly reactions against the utilitarianism of the Victorian age. (Full talk in replies).

A historic energy agreement signed today in Tirana 🇦🇱🇺🇸🇬🇷. The 20-year partnership for LNG supply from the United States, with a $6 billion commitment, is an investment in Albania’s energy security and that of the entire region.
Our country, and especially #Vlora, is positioning itself as a hub in the new energy architecture of the Eastern Mediterranean. When cooperation with our strategic allies translates into concrete projects, all of Southeast Europe benefits.

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz stated the Trump administration is being outwitted by Iran's leadership after negotiations in Islamabad collapsed without progress. The German chancellor's sharp criticism is expected to worsen already-strained relations between Washington and European NATO members.
The reality is that Germany’s disastrous economy needs Chinese market, cheap Iranian and Russian fuel as its leadership is incapable of changing course. So it makes sense that Merz would make such comments.

I’m tired of the Aristotelian physics slander. Yes, heavier object fall faster than light ones, all else equal, *when immersed in a fluid* which is every environment Aristotle had access to. Do the experiment yourself. Drop a bowling ball and a same-sized ball of foam.
There’s a great paper called “Aristotle’s Physics: a Physicist’s Look” that demonstrates how Aristotelian physics is a special case approximation of Newtonian physics in the same way Newtonian physics is a special case approximation of relativity and QM.
Aristotle’s physics reigned for so long not because people were unthinkingly dogmatic, but because it was genuinely hard to come up with better models.
Aristotle had to model celestial objects separately from terrestrial objects because his terrestrial model is describing *terminal* velocity and breaks down in the zero-friction limit. So he had two incompatible models. Newton unified them. Now we have two incompatible models - QM and GR - and are looking for unification. The more things change…

As to the shape of a woman's creative potential, Paglia devotes the final chapter of Sexual Personae to Emily Dickinson, "the greatest of female poets," whose writing has a "stupefying energy" and who can "sexualize any situation, even the picking of a flower"
Dickinson is (half) the face of the book cover and Paglia also decides to close the book probing what makes this woman "frightening" and how she makes "sterile with her own desire"
The final sentence:
"Voyeurism, vampirism, necrophilia, lesbianism, sadomasochism, sexual surrealism: Amherst’s Madame de Sade still waits for her readers to know her."

“There is no female Mozart because there is no female Jack the Ripper.” Paglia talks about how women don’t have to prove herself in order feel sense of worth due to our ability to grow life, while many men are driven by an intensity of alienation from nature and a need to assert form against it. She argues how in this way, artistic and scientific pursuits are a form of fetishism, perverted male intelligence, compensatory obsession that leads to extremes. She contrasts this with women, who, as life-bearing, remain more continuous with nature and therefore not compelled toward obsessive overproduction. But what if there was a distinctly female form of creative urgency, not a stemming from compensation, but direct transmission? If women are more receptive by nature, wouldn’t that receptivity allow for a different kind of creation: less driven by anxiety, and more by a sense of attunement, insight, or even duty to the collective to express what is perceived?

"The difficulty is that all art is both abstract and suggestive at the same time. You can’t show everything. If you do, it’s no longer art. Art lies in suggestion. The great difficulty for filmmakers is precisely not to show things. Ideally, nothing should be shown, but that’s impossible...”

Don't lie to those who don't know,
you had and enjoyed full autonomy,
within the Republic of Serbia, the largest in Europe, even the universities in Pristina were in Albanian,
all institutions were bilingual !
Your hypocrisy and arrogance raises the "Price", which you will have to pay.
You are playing a dirty game, because your dream is a greater Albania. ..and that will never happen.
Your "national euphoria", will end with a very painful national sobering up. ..unfortunately.
...and we will listen to "NATO HELP" again.
What do you think, why were so many Kosovo Albanians killed by the same Kosovo Albanians, members of the UCK ?
They were killed because they were loyal citizens of the state in which they lived, (Many of them in high positions).
Why did so many of them have to emigrate to Europe and seek asylum ?
Only because they were members and employees of the Army, Police, Judiciary and other state bodies of the Republic of Serbia.
Your Lie and Fraud, created with Narco-dollars, is short-lived.
Every Serb knows, ..... in the future,
neither NATO nor the Turks will help you,
when the time comes .
