Nearer to sanity than most. That says more about the culture than me. #BTFSTTG http://discord.gg/vsJb9K6

      We are living at the peak of R-selected civilization. There will never be another liberal empire on earth as great as this one, for when the era of exponential economic growth comes to an end, the right wing will triumph. I may hate the left, but I respect what they have built.

      This era is to the left what the pristine monarchies of the Renaissance were to the right. As those monarchies were the height of what is possible under zero growth, this era is the height of what is possible under growth.

      Sure there is degeneracy, just like there WAS the Marquis de Sade. Yes there is more of it, but there is more of everything. Cookie cutter suburbs are the height of beauty under fast growth, as the Medeval cathedral is the height of beauty under zero growth.

      When you have no money, you build slow, and you build a little at a time, crafting every little detail to perfection. When you have endless wealth and infinite growth, you layout cities like like you lay down carpet. Slow growth cities are like old growth forests:

      Every tree ring is spaced close together. The great cathedrals are not great because the men were great. They are great because creativity was throttled by a lack of income; every penny was squeezed for maximum aesthetic.

      The great cities of Europe are not great because of the men, but because of time. Every generation, the ugliest buildings are demolished, and replaced by better ones. This builds cities like building redwood forests, clearing out the underbrush.

      Build. Demolish. Replace. Build. Demolish. Replace. Repeat for a thousand years to get ancient Europe. In contrast, most parts of Denver are less than a hundred years old.

      What built the beauty of Europe was TIME combined with NEAR ZERO GROWTH. What reactionaries pine for --without realizing it -- is stagnation. I may hate the foolish and delusional mentality of the left, but I do not begrudge them their moment in thr sun.

          It is the best empire they can make it.
