      I'm conflicted to some degree about how we on the right, as rhetorical realists, use T-correlated traits to our advantages.

      It's connected to the paradox of paleo-reaction: how can you praise elitism and caste society? Seems like a contradiction

      Wanting a true ἄριστοι (where none exists) implies a demand we put a h i g h e r value on excellence

      But the nature of caste society (in the loosest sense: hierarchy + intergenerational status) is to d i s m i s s excellence

          I could dig deep into that, but to bring us back to the analogy: ultimately a meritocracy of the body is worse than "caste"

          Example: women bloom like flowers to get a honeybee. Then they ought to pop out babies; & likely, go plump, then wrinkly

          That's okay. Natural. A man who would rather have his wife barren and gym-toned into her twilight is worse than a pedophile

          People (ideally) need to recognize the value of physical discipline without vanity. Everyone ends up ugly; some always were

          It's a question of dignity: the difference between dignity and status. A strictly loyal butler has a dignity Figaro lacks

          We can't unilaterally disarm in our death-struggle vs Cathedral, but I'm uneasy fueling the very vanity that fuels it. (fin)

          The original and proper idea of caste is not strictly hereditary. See: Laws of Manu

          Historically: Indian varna system was always hereditary. Conceptually: no, but hereditary part is what is hard to accept in TCY.

          In my understanding it was not always hereditary though the degeneration to that happened long ago.

          In its ideal form the Four Fold Social Order is a matter of typeology. Ppl classified by ability to be self-directed.

          (a) Are we talking history or vedic cosmology (i.e. going back to 100kya)? (b) ...and you claim varna still earned in which year?

          it seems to me that trades/crafts allowed for individual excellence to be recognized + rewarded without breaking caste

          Yes, sort of. Mixed feelings about fetishizing obsolete production techniques, though - seems like grasping at the reflection
