What Is Decadence?

Decadence is the abandonment of standards and the deliberate inversion of value. It is the enthronement of the trivial, the vulgar, and the transient in place of the noble, the beautiful, and the enduring. Where once men sought elevation, now they revel in decline. Decadence is the cult of the common.

At its root, decadence is the loss of character. It prizes cleverness above wisdom, education above experience, and performance above truth. It celebrates the anxious intellect, but scorns the man of action. It rewards those who speak well, not those who act well.

Decadence is softness masquerading as compassion. It affirms pacifism in place of courage, equality in place of excellence, and indulgence in place of discipline. The decadent man does not deny the world outright—he drowns in it. He cannot rise above the present moment because he has severed all ties to the past and all obligations to the future.

It mocks virtue. It sneers at sacrifice. It cannot comprehend why anyone would choose duty over comfort, honor over convenience, or loyalty over gain. It sees self-restraint as repression, hierarchy as oppression, and beauty as a lie.

What decadence detests most is greatness. It cannot bear the sight of anything higher than itself, and so it seeks to tear down what it cannot imitate. It lowers the standard to save the mediocre from shame.

It is materialistic in spirit and iconoclastic in taste. It strips life of grandeur and reverence, reducing culture to entertainment and truth to opinion. In place of an aesthetic of form and proportion, it offers the fashionable and the grotesque. Nothing is sacred, because nothing is believed.

Decadence is not merely a phase in the life of a civilization. It is a symptom of rot. And like all rot, it begins within.

🛠 Manjše države, kot je Slovenija, se pri zagotavljanju digitalne suverenosti soočajo z izzivi, zato je ključen:

🇸🇮Razvoj nacionalne strategije in infrastrukture.
👩‍💻Krepitev stroke in IT znanja.
🤝 Sodelovanje z EU in državami s podobnimi cilji.
🏢 Spodbujanje domačih podjetij in odprtokodnih rešitev. (3/3)

1/ Napoleon said every European war was a civil war.

Pat Buchanan called 1914–1945 a drawn-out suicide. Europe wasn’t conquered. It self-destructed.

What it lost wasn’t land, but memory, nobility, and the right to define itself. Let us discuss the European Civil War. 🧵👇

@MichaelAArouet who is healthier&happier? You cannot compare societal system of US and UE. Fundamentals are different. Using statistics such as GDP can be misleading. US and EU should thrive for complementarity, not competition.

🇸🇮 V Sloveniji imamo problem z izobraževanjem o jedrski energiji. 🧵

Zbiramo podatke o tem, kako napačne so informacije, ki jih dobijo učenci in dijaki v OŠ in SŠ.
Gre namreč za dolgotrajno indoktrinacijo, zaradi katere velik del populacije nikoli ne pride v stik z resnico. /1

This is insane. SpaceX had to do the study to see if Starship would hit a shark. 😂

SpaceX has released some new footage from the tower of the first Super Heavy booster catch yesterday. Absolutely epic shot.

(Interstellar music added by me lol)

ELON: THE PROBABILITY OF MECHAZILLA CATCHING STARSHIP IS ABOVE ZERO

“It'll weigh about 250 tons. 

We'll make that lighter over time. 

So, you got a couple of hundred tons plummeting more than half the speed of sound. 

So, this thing is still coming in really fast. 

Pretty much down in a downward direction.

So then, they light the engines, so it's got to slow itself down very fast and correct any errors.

Whatever the X-Y error is when the engines land, it's got to take out that X-Y error and then drop the velocity to basically zero, come in between the arms.

The arms will be wide, and as it's coming in, the arms will close, go flush against the side of the vehicle, and the vehicle will be descending through the arms.

And those tiny little, you can barely see them, the little knobs, those kinds of lifting lugs will touch the top of the arms, and then it will hopefully not shear off and crumple.

Success is one of the possible outcomes. 

The probability is uncertain, but it is above zero.”

@EdKrassen @elonmusk So you argue that in reality world (since apparently we all can vote) is devided around 50/50? Any credible data?
