a good read, recommend.

critique follows downthread.
2/
the language choices made - what do they tell us about the author?

how do they influence which readers will return to revisit the this particular article? Image
3/
a lot of #trad superstructure, and yet none of the keel of #RespectYourElders to be found
4/
a bit of goodhearted fun is poked gently at "skirts, corsets, and flower crowns", and "cottagecore aesthetics" in general.

the missed aspect is, "what kind of problems are *avoided* through pragmatic, tested choices". also see tt#3 above. Image

h/t to @thinkagainer for capturing ten thousand six words with one picture 👌

excellent observation on "extreme complexity".

simplicity allows us to *cut* the proverbial Gordial Knot where applicable. Image

>That the body, nature, evolution, seen by much of rationalist discourse as mere constraints and a flesh armor for the real individual

this needs a subsequent counterpart expanding into the subject of *culture*. risky subject tho.
8/
>That the "Live And Let Live" of free choice is a coordination nightmare. (...)

anti-critique: the passage is probably the best modern take on the *sin* i've seen this year. 👌 Image
9/
>It’s no wonder that in our hyper-cerebral world, these have fallen off the map. (...)

let's cut to the chase:

the hypertrophied language around the formal and cerebral have *instilled* an unnatural aversion to the informal and cultural.
10/
>essentially LARPing an ahistorical 1950s

ah yes, the nebulous risks.
#RespectYourElders and you'll be mostly safe :-) Image

give Alex' article a read, it is a proper #essay of a journey; of a pragmatic choice to seek shared beauty and timeless truth.

reminder, there are plenty of short leftist memes floating around

we don't consider them *memes* because the reward is very alien to us (moral permission to do evil for "greater good")

Daniel implies that strong reactions are propagandized, while natural reactions are weak and need deep deprogramming to surface.

3/
what is leftism?

*destroying social structure*, says Daniel

the whole thread is bad, and Michael should feel bad.

climate change scaremongering? more war mongering? you're out of touch and stuck in 2015.

this one is particularly bad, and not even for the usual reasons

Trump pushed *certain NATO members* (read: Germany and friends) to meet their obligations. including spending 2% of GDP on defense.

mind you, not "sending the money to NATO", just spending on their own defense. buying own gear is fine. follow your commitment. Image

i live at peace with many things.

my 2nd biggest gripe with the society right now is "inform yourself", in the sense of "caveat emptor". #SundayRant
2/
it's a fine sentiment when you trade with 30 people for 50 kinds of things & services, many of which you can reasonably do yourself and have general understanding of.

not when you trade with 300,000 people for 5,000,000 things & services that are mostly opaque to you.
3/
"staying informed" is a lottery. good from society-manager's point of view, miserable from individual's.

which is incidentally the main reason i tend to prefer larger suppliers & service providers over smaller ones. *feels* like less research is needed every time i buy.

>what do i do?

literally the wrong question. the marriage is in shambles primarily because of what *the society* does - and what it fails to do.

for stable, successful marriage, find a community that does support such, and opposes breakups, strife, lack of leadership, etc.
2/
other than finding a good society, focus on doing *your* thing well. all other considerations are tertiary.

while i appreciate Alex' insight from the other side of barricade👍...

...i would first focus on Morlock's experience. he's a lad's lad, and his life's record speaks for itself 👌
