A culture without the Strong God of Honor...
Has no Elders.

And a culture without Elders...
Will surely die.

Having traveled and lived in about 50 countries for 16 years, I believe this is true.

@jordanbpeterson Whereas for the Other, Jordan Peterson is Q3 and the Other is Q4. Both sides are "one-sided" & blind to the humanity of the other side. This blindness increases the likelihood of more misunderstanding, escalation of threat, violence... & in this case WW3. @JonHaidt @BretWeinstein

The only thing that stops violent men from raping you and your society are other men who are equally willing to be violent in stopping the rapists. The West has decided that the highest virtue is to quietly comply with the destruction of your civilization because to do otherwise is bigoted toward the rapists. It really is that simple.

[Kyle Becker @kylenabecker]

Western Civilization didn't flourish because "white males" stopped other groups from succeeding.

The West thrived because of rational thought, individual rights, and free enterprise.

"White males" that invented the steam engine, electric generation, the combustion engine, flight, and space exploration did not do so because they "stole" the ideas of minorities.

These inventions helped lift mankind out of ignorance and hardship, improving the quality of life for all of humanity.

"White males" didn't oppress the entire world, they helped make it a better place.

"White males" didn't oppress everyone's rights, they invented the idea of rights and paid in blood to liberate tens of millions of people.

"White males" didn't invent slavery, they ended it.

"White males" didn't invent tyranny, they devised a form of government to end it.

Destroying Western Civilization isn't about empowering groups that were "oppressed." It is about tearing down civilization itself so that globalist parasites can rule over all of us.

@StefanMolyneux I imagine... She knew and felt your judgment, which cuts deep because you know her intimately, and are her son. Strangers have not yet judged her, and she desires to keep a good image with them.

@OwenBenjamin A courageous acknowledgement. What if you now apologize to Rogan, genuinely? 2 alphas learning together (in front of the world) how to do strong patriarchy better (something great to model for your many fans). Imagine a restoration of that friendship, evolved to a higher level.

I have no doubt this is a significant factor explaining the precipitous drop in male testosterone.

But a man's training to compromise himself starts young and is all encompassing. He learns he can find peace and comfort if he simply avoids conflict, avoids facing reality, avoids discomfort, etc. These leave a man with less and less authority and agency as well.

[Freedomain - with Stefan Molyneux, MA @StefanMolyneux]

The drop in male testosterone is simple to explain.

Governments bully men as taxpaying serfs, stripping them of authority and agency.

This creates helplessness, which raises stress levels, which lowers testosterone.

Slaves with low testosterone survive.

High-T slaves don’t.

MASSIE: “They tried to buy my vote for 14 years and it was never for sale. Now they're trying to buy a seat here in Kentucky. I'm talking about the Israeli lobby, AIPAC, Republican Jewish Coalition, Miriam Adelson, Paul Singer, and John Paulson.”

Massie just dropped names.

As a paramedic I will not pretend to see spiders when a patient is hallucinating about spiders. I will also not pretend you are a different gender than what you actually are.

It is ethically and morally wrong to play into someone’s psychosis.

Thats just fact.

It’s also wrong to put anyone who has mental problems in positions of authority. Anyone who believes men can be women should be removed from those positions immediately. For everyone’s safety.

God bless

The most dangerous pandemic of this century may not be a virus.

It is the “One Child Pandemic.”

One child carrying the pressure of two parents, four grandparents, and an entire bloodline’s expectations.

One child growing up in silent homes instead of noisy childhoods.

No sibling fights.
No shared secrets.
No built-in best friend for life.

Just screens, perfection pressure, loneliness, and emotional isolation dressed up as “modern comfort.”

Earlier generations grew up with less money but more people.
Today’s generation grows up with more gadgets but fewer human bonds.

A single child becomes the family’s hope, retirement plan, emotional support system, and legacy all at once.

And when that child breaks mentally, the whole house collapses quietly.

Human beings were never designed to grow up emotionally alone.

A society survives not only on economy and technology.
It survives on cousins, siblings, chaos at dinner tables, shared responsibilities, and people who stay after the parents are gone.

The real tragedy is not declining birth rates.

It is declining human connection.

We are slowly creating generations who know how to use every device…
but do not know how to share grief, tolerate differences, protect relationships, or carry family together.

A crowded house was never poverty.

Sometimes, it was civilization itself.

[Michael Strong @flowidealism]

The whole notion of adolescent rebellion dates from the 1950s. Rebel without a cause. Juvenile delinquents. Before that, young people worked. They milked cows, took care of business, were responsible. Adolescent dysfunction is closely tied to the history of mass public schooling.

[Michael Strong @flowidealism]

People cite Thomas Jefferson when defending public education. What Jefferson actually said is we need an educated populace. His proposal was small town private schools with scholarships for the poor. Top-down state control of schools came later, with Horace Mann.

[Michael Ivan Skye @michaelivanskye]

@flowidealism Super impressive!

@MikhailaFuller Me too! What a great man.

Suicidal Empathy, indeed. The West shows endless "compassion" to outsiders to avoid the shame and guilt of WWII, but in doing so has lost its Honor and ability to stand up for itself and take care of its people.

[Gad Saad @GadSaad]

There you go. "The West is a woman to be mounted."

Suicidal Empathy is such an enlightened ethos. You give up your children, your time, your heritage, your culture, your women, your religion, your civilization to folks who mock you as they urinate on you.

Scam Altman and Greg Stockman stole a charity. Full stop.

Greg got tens of billions of stock for himself and Scam got dozens of OpenAI side deals with a piece of the action for himself, Y Combinator style. After this lawsuit, Scam will also be awarded tens of billions in stock directly.

The fundamental question is simply this:

Do you want to set legal precedent in the United States that it is ok to loot a charity? If so, you undermine all charitable giving in the United States forever.

I could have started OpenAI as a for-profit corporation. Instead, I started it, funded it, recruited critical talent and taught them everything I know about how to make a startup successful FOR THE PUBLIC GOOD.

Then they stole the charity.

What the Romans called mos maiorum, the custom of the ancestors, was part of the living heartbeat of what it meant to be Roman. The dead still stood behind the living as a source of order, example, and obligation. In the home that was concrete. Families kept a lararium, made small offerings, and lived with the lares, the guardian spirits, and the di manes, the honored dead, as part of ordinary domestic life. Among the elite this could take the form of ancestor masks and lineage display, but it was not just an upper-class thing. Ordinary Romans kept the dead near too, in the house, in family rites, and in daily memory. A Roman did not experience himself as a free-floating individual. He belonged to a line stretching backward and forward in time.

Christian Europe changed the theology, but it kept the dead close. From the Middle Ages onward, graves sat right near the center of communal life. The churchyard, the parish, the village, and the family grave all belonged together. People worshiped near the dead, walked past them, tended them, and remembered themselves through them. That pattern held for a very long time, through medieval Europe, through the early modern world, into colonial America, and in many rural places well into the early 1900s. The dead were still part of the moral and social landscape. People understood themselves less as isolated selves and more as members of a people extended across generations.

Then that whole world started thinning out, but not all at once and not everywhere. In the 19th century, growing cities, overcrowded burial grounds, sanitation fears, and the rural cemetery movement began pushing graves away from the old center. But in many small towns, villages, and rural communities, the dead still remained close to ordinary life well into the early 20th century.

Then came the wider twentieth-century turn. Bernays mattered here because he helped supercharge hyper-individualism through a culture of desire, image, and managed wants. Mass advertising, consumer culture, suburban life, mobility, and the shrinking of life into the nuclear household all pulled in the same direction. People were taught to see themselves as free-floating individuals chasing present satisfaction and private wants instead of living as links in a generational chain with any duty to the dead. The grave moved outward, and the ancestor moved outward with it.

You can still see traces of the older world in places like Appalachia. Decoration Days, grave cleanings, dinner on the ground, homecomings, singing, and family returns to the cemetery kept alive the sense that the dead still belonged to the people and the living still owed them something. In a lot of white Western life, that world has plainly grown thin. Younger people move away. Fewer come back. Some old mountain cemeteries are mostly kept going by the older generations. What fades is more than a custom. It is a way of seeing oneself as part of a living chain of generations instead of just an atomized present-tense self with a private past.
