@rationalaussie Spengler spoke about this. It’s the “zweite Religiosität” The corpse religion. It’s going to be a mixed bag of old revived forms we can already see that. It won’t work because the western culture killed God.

Been listening to a lot of Alan Watts lately. What a legend he was. It's not clear to me what comes after the Fourth Turning, but I think some type of return to spirituality (call it religion? Or community?) or something new, will be a big part of it.

@ArtemisConsort wtf its me

This is the first (and I think only) meme I’ve made that’s escaped containment.

@themopinomicon shut it down

they turn off the solar news when theres a big flare so i cant claim credit for it

At the beginning of a dynasty, taxation yields a large revenue from small assessments. At the end of the dynasty, taxation yields a small revenue from large assessments. Another banger from your boy Ibn Khaldun

Throughout history many nations have suffered a physical defeat, but that has never marked the end of a nation. But when a nation has become the victim of a psychological defeat, then that marks the end of a nation. Ibn Khaldun

Tony Burke gave a Palestinian family Australian citizenship because he and his wife liked how they played piano

@IterIntellectus i do it as a 42 year old but that is ok since all your culture is downstream from our bullshit on irc and I mean all of it

just heard someone say "mogging" and "-maxxing" unironically at 35yo

No one told me that when you quit smoking you start to eat an ice cream every two hours like fucking clockwork.

@FalseProphet93 @Ausbobsmit you dont sound very Australian to me?

Tony Abbott wanted the camps closed down. He said no child should live like that. He wanted them in towns, in school, in jobs. The lefties cried the house down. Now look. Nowhere to be seen. They make you sick.

@FaceLikeTheSun Dawkins knows exactly what he is doing here, no he does not believe what he’s saying. How do I know? I read every fucking book, essay whatever by the time I was 14. He’s lying!

Guy doesn’t believe there is a God But believes a chatbot it is conscious When men don’t believe in God, they don’t believe in nothing…they believe in anything.

Stoicism is a great self-help tool for extremely neurotic people. It can help you get “back to baseline.” Marcus Aurelius was extremely neurotic. He never wanted to be emperor. He was put into the line of succession by Hadrian when he was a teen because he was seen as the safe choice with no ambition who would protect the small child of Hadrian’s dead friend who Hadrian really wanted to be his heir (Lucius Verus). And indeed, Marcus did just that, naming Lucius Verus his co-emperor. This was the first time in history there had ever been a co-emperor, and obviously that precedent caused a ton of problems. Marcus became addicted to opium (an ingredient of the medicine called theriac that Galen gave him) to cope with the anxiety of being emperor. He also kept a journal where he talks a lot about not wanting to get out of bed, not wanting to talk to people, etc. Try to imagine Julius Caesar writing Meditations. You can’t. Marcus was fortunate enough to have able generals conduct his wars, but he was not a brilliant battlefield commander. The most celebrated victory that he seems to have been personally involved in is one time he got his troops surrounded on a hill without any water and they were all about to die but then it rained. This is called “The Miracle of the Rain.” But a lot of you hate him for the wrong reason. Every emperor named their son their heir if they had a living son. The other “Five Great Emperors” did not have living sons when they died. Commodus was always going to be his heir. Anyway, stoicism can help you with anxiety. But it cannot provide meaning in your life. You don’t believe the woo-woo pseudo-religious philosophical “nature is logos” parts of it anyway. You just want the self-help bits. Which is fine. But once you’ve cured your anxiety, there’s still further to ascend.

@romanhelmetguy @AlexKoenig1 @pmarca No passion, it ain’t for me dawg

@pmarca People will tell you that stoicism isn’t about apathy. Those people don’t know that “apathy” is a Greek loanword that comes to us from the Stoics. Apatheia. It was the Stoics’ highest ideal. And it literally means “lack of passion.”

Many people are (suddenly) saying.
