Can’t watch more than 15 seconds of this video without wanting to blow my brains out. Channel 5 has become the pinnacle of safe edgy instagram reels “Epstein class” political opinion slop
Only Japan apparently figured out that the west's superiority was downstream of its ideas and values before it was too late.
Even today, many non-westerners have failed to make this basic connection.
One of the weird changes in the Odyssey movie is that they add these weird oblique references to "the elders," who seem to dictate when Penelope should be remarried. It's a very telling modern distortion: all ancient states being ruled by an unseen council of geriatrics.
One thing Rand was spot on about is the way the public responds to every new invention by trying to ban it, up until the point where the invention proves indispensibly useful, at which point they demand it be given to them for free.

Startling to think that the societies that invented writing may have already been late, decadent, or second- or third-generation built on top of older cities…
