The sacred character and inviolability of "nation" and of "people" are merely the transposition of features attributed to the Great Mother in ancient plebeian gynecocracies and in societies that ignored the virile and political principle of the imperium.
I have spent 23 years documenting the global LED transition of city lighting from space.
Across my 4 missions to the ISS, I have photographed every major city on Earth, building a data set of the gradual replacement of sodium vapor lighting with LEDs.
The warmer, yellow-orange of gas discharge lamps has been phased out worldwide to multi-colored LEDs, citing energy savings and environmental reasons.
Widespread adoption has markedly changed the way our cities look from orbit, and as many have pointed out, how they feel to those on the ground!
Here is a collection of the most striking before-and-after photos I have observed:
@psychotakes@odo387k@cloneristic I get that you are wanting to be unbothered by that, and affirm it. I am pointing out that it is destructive of the things you hold dear, more so than I suspect you realize. There is no way under that worldview to give an account for any ethics but the crudest darwinianism.
@psychotakes@odo387k@cloneristic Indeed. But that means that race and nation are now your God/ultimate cosmological truth. You do not want to go down that philosophical road, fren, because it leads to materialism, atheism, and nihilism, and is destructive of everything you hold dear.
@psychotakes@odo387k@cloneristic Implicit in that statement is the belief that religion is a mere practical matter, rather than one pertaining to cosmological, ultimate, truth.
@IchbinHussite > Charlemagne? Otto the Great? Constantine? Alfred? Ivan? Wilhelm? Your entire immediate patrimony?
I sleep.
> Faggotty DIY "religion" with no objective strictures, content or source in which you can set yourself up as your own spiritual father and prime heresiarch.
Real shit.
@IchbinHussite It is so awfully cringe. Perfect communion with the platonic lolcow EVROPA of their LARP mind, and complete disconnect from actual and recent history and people. No true initiation rite, no true revelation, conception of Thor halfway derived from Marvel comics.
just smh.
@EduardHabsburg Wholesome content on the TL. You love to see it. Many years!
(... throne, crown(s), and Empire restoration project when? Would back a kickstarter!)
@Babygravy9 The wider point being that anything approaching a measure of "more or less utility/happiness/good" hinges on a pre-existing answer to the question of what the good is, which is precisely what moral philosophy is intended to provide an answer to, leaving utilitarianism circular.
@Babygravy9 Felific calculus utilitarianism is the gayest brand of academic philosophy there is, and can be used to argue in favor of precisely any position.
