The funny thing is, the very fact that we are discussing this subject means, according to John Glubb and other Cyclical/Spenglerian-inclined historians, we are completely fucked and won't solve the coordination problem. Thread:

Religions come about from extraordinary people inspired by great, charismatic men to do great things, something beautiful and beyond the mundane and Immediate world. Scribbling, depressed autists are the death kneel of this.

The best case scenario that internet autists like us could pull off is probably a Julian the Apostate-like scenario. Julian was the original genius, autistic larper.

This is why woke will win. Cynicism is GAY. Machiavelli is GAY. Society as mechanism is GAY. And NrX is filled with a de-spiritualized view of life.

I mean, they're very self-aware of this. Often too self-aware (Spandrell). Which is why it was always a nice change to read ZippyCatholic or Dalrock (a vehement Catholic vs I think a devout Protestant).

Agreed. Analysis kills the spirit and I think the intellect gives you a false and dangerous sense of being "above it all". But inspiration like the Holy Spirit is within and among, not "above"

This discussion is what every conversation on Jim and Spandrell's blog eventually boils down to if it goes deep enough: "Society is declining." Yes. "Spengler and Ibn Khaldun predicted this." Yes. "So we'll recreate social cohesion via new myths within the body politic....."

I'm exaggerating, cyclical history doesn't generally come up, but the point still stands. They often think things can change without the necessary struggle that change entails. However, with things getting crazier, they're getting better at realizing this fact.

Yeah violence is the breeding ground of sacred values

"Sacred values" are the values that let men form cooperative war-bands and those defeat mere institutions (that have long since decayed into committee manipulation skill contests)

#JustAsabiyyahThings But the sort of person who reads Khaldun is probably the last sort of person to actually perform that violent rite, either killing a lot of people, or dying voluntarily, or both. What is really needed is just Ballz uber alles.1 reply 0 retweets 2 likes -

>But the sort of person who reads Khaldun is probably the last sort of person to actually perform that violent rite Nah, that's leftover progressive priestly indoctrination. Warrior leaders aren't stupid or incurious about the world - not bookish but not stupid.
