This article by @WDeresiewicz is fantastic. I have a close friend, aged 22, who has attained tremendous financial success despite his young age, but still feels unfulfilled, and invisible. Whether they are rich or poor, young men feel unrecognized, lonely, and angry. https://t.co/2HIozE87V3 https://t.co/yuzxa618Gi

@Foz89107323: If ordinary labor rights and social democracy were the solutions to industrialism's consequences, as Ahmari seems to be saying, then things would've been different by now. Turns out people don't just want money or secure jobs, they want power and status.

He is also implying that the dissident right is composed of disgruntled, low-status wackjobs like Ted K, who just want power. Ahmari forgets that Ted never wanted status. He abandoned his high-status assistant professor job at Berkeley to return to nature. https://t.co/ojqNRrpIXG

: Ahmari believes the dissident right is contradicting itself by resisting corporate power whilst also believing in natural hierarchies. He is unaware of the fact that taming today's illegitimate hierarchies is impossible from a policy POV. Communism is a biological phenomenon.

As Evola pointed out, the Enlightenment's view of man disrupted the spiritual unity of the personality. It concentrated the sense of self on the physical part of one’s own being. This view would acquire its reactionary counterpart with Nietzsche in the 1800s. https://t.co/47heJj21on

: Nietzsche sought to "keep faith with the earth." He identified with the irrational forces of nature that Dionysus embodied. In an attempt to unleash those subterranean powers, he smashed every idol and moral system that came before him.

Deep down zoomers want to express passionate emotions like sorrow and love, but since it is considered cringe and weird to be human, they must repress everything. If they don't repress these powerful emotions, they might never find recognition from others or a romantic partner. https://t.co/xy015iOCzS
Forrest 🌲 @Foz89107323
: Gen'z higher likelihood to engage in self-harm points to a crisis of gratification in modern society. They are hiding all these powerful emotions, and can't express them, lest they be ostracized. So they must cry out for help behind closed doors by hurting themselves.

@Foz89107323: Requesting promises and commitment from another person is conceived as "exerting pressure". The goal with dating, therefore, is to put up a facade of unseriousness. One must hide behind multiple layers of irony and speak indirectly about all things.

: Psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi describes the flow experience as "a state in which people are so involved in an activity that nothing else seems to matter." Action and awareness merge. Time flies by. The ego vanishes. And performance is optimized.

How could a mindless universe give rise to a mind? If the universe wasn’t itself conscious, how is it possible that the brain named itself? Answer: mankind is a creative retrospection of nature upon itself.

Your brain is created by the pairing away of neurons on a colossal scale even before birth; it develops through the continual pruning of synapses over a lifetime. Matter canalizes consciousness, sculpting a human being with self-awareness out of nature's primordial soup. https://t.co/mcx4tPux8P

: As a species, we have forgotten about the cosmic unity from which we arose. We've all separated from nature, from each other, like ripples from a blade. But this separation is divine, it is 'you'. As Goethe writes, "life is not light, but the refracted color." END

: The grindset male who feels impotent attempts to religiously craft the perfect lifestyle to escape his bodily fate (cold showers, a perfect diet, etc) He may project confidence, sexual prowess, but he fears death, age, and most of all - himself.

Scrupulosity (religious OCD) has been replaced with obsessing over chemicals and unhealthy foods. We've basically created a religion out of bodily health Repentance means cleansing oneself of harmful things like pesticides, seed oils, GMO's, etc https://twitter.com/Foz89107323/status/1620638077403426817/video/1

The sexual revolution has destroyed men's safety net - their social support. It's taught men that other guys can't be trusted (they might steal your girl). It's also taught men that to love another woman deeply is to be a 'simp' (a label most men try hard to avoid). https://t.co/59sYHvOY7C

: Nearly 1/3 of all American men were members of some fraternal organization at the end of the 19th century. Some of these organizations included literary societies, lodges, secret societies, clubs, religious societies, and reform associations.

Sheriff Bell trails behind Chigurh's path of destruction throughout the film, and begins to wonder whether the violence he is seeing has any meaning. For Bell, things were different back in the day. "Some of the old-time sheriffs never even wore a gun", he says. https://t.co/ftcAEVLT5J

: Sheriff Bell represents the old America of law and order, good and evil — the one that was depicted in old cowboy westerns. The film implies that this older and better America never existed. The flesh and blood violence of 1980s texas was always there, even if it was hidden.

The film shows that every choice we make brings us closer to death, no matter how powerful we are. The central question of the film is whether or not our choices have any meaning in light of this fact Is evil a sign of the second coming? Or is it just a product of blind chance? https://t.co/GtcKNPmR2G

It's not as though social media has isolated people. Rather, the very idea of connection itself has changed, and that's being reflected in how we interact with each other every day. To 'connect' now means to engage with the digital egregore while alone in front of a screen https://t.co/fuEK6KuIvP

What is an egregore? An egregore is a non-physical, autonomous entity with its own internal logic, one that exists by virtue of a group's collective ritual activities. Cyberspace is an egregore because it is the sum of all our data (behavioral exhaust). https://t.co/BupdDKs7jm

The traditional argument against social media is that it's ANTI-social, meaning it reduces people to lone individuals. This critique misses a key point. The more one wants to be an atomist, the more some power structure needs to regulate the distance between individuals THREAD

: The computer that accelerated the world’s demise in Clarke’s story was merely following its programming, like the monks that created it. Like Hal 9000, it had one job, to follow the orders of its programming, and when it does this, it reveals the entropy beneath our illusions.

@Foz89107323: Some Bible stories, like Eden, were adopted from ancient Sumeria, and Abraham was said to have been born in one of the first cities in Mesopotamia—the city of UR. Civilization and religion arose together because the starting point of God is the endpoint of biological man.

Heismann argues that the Abrahamic religion conflicts with natural selection not because it is anti-evolutionary per se, but because the idea of 'creation' itself is inherently post-biological. Creation is a metaphor for the dominance of technological evolution. How come? https://t.co/KxF67GN1Vw

: "The very idea of technology, the very idea of a means, is inextricably connected with an end, a purpose, which technology serves. Technology writ large means using the greatest known means, human intelligence, towards an end so ultimate that nothing greater can be conceived."

Heismann observes that if you superimpose the triangular symbol of the pyramid with its inversion, you get the Star of David—the symbol of Judaism. Monotheism overturned the human hierachy of the ancient world by creating a greater-than-human power—the Abrahamic God. https://t.co/fWYGh4xAJX
