Temples, … are the soul of the countryside: they mark the beginning of its settlement, and have been passed down through many generations to the men of today. In them the farming communities rest their hopes for husbands, wives, children, for their oxen and the soil —Libanius

There is no question anymore that the only goal of leftist censorship is to keep intelligent young White men from talking to one another. This will accomplish nothing except for making good little boomerbrained schoolslaves.

What do children in bustling urban areas even have left to do other than entertain themselves with technology? I think I would’ve gone insane if I wasn’t raised at a walkable distance from forests, but if they don’t have that, at least let them enjoy vidya.
The iPad kid epidemic is going to be looked back on as one of the biggest parenting mistakes of the 2010s and 2020s....

You can laugh at quirky chūnibyō-type behaviour, but is is not useful to practice using advanced language from a young age? I respect silly attempts at impressing people more than zogcattle who repeat the same formulaic phrases over and over again.

Whenever I think of Italian poetry I think of this.

I don’t know if I can call any anime op “the best” but this is definitely the one I loved the most as a teenager.
A rather boring, though very well-animated series, that I have never seen referenced anywhere, basically, but it had some good songs.

There is something I find pure about how this guy posts photos of pretty much every book he owns. I have this great sort of sympathy for people so brimming with excitement that they almost superfluously document things. It recalls the feeling of being a curious child.

I decided to go through some Italian poetry, namely Dei Sepolcri by Ugo Foscolo. It’s a nice work, and I like taking copious notes about poems even if it’s just something to occupy my mind. I have an Italian edition of Foscolo, along with Dante and Petrarch, on the way too.

It’s actually because you literally can’t “just do things” anymore because there are endless bureaucrats, wokescolds, etc. in the way, so people end up latching on to knowledge. Same reason people do architecture in Minecraft rather than real life.

There is a certain type of person everywhere now, especially online.
He consumes endless information every day: philosophy, psychology, productivity, spirituality, neuroscience, business, self-improvement, history.
He knows a little about everything and deeply experiences almost nothing.
His entire identity becomes built around understanding instead of living.
He watches videos about confidence instead of speaking confidently. Reads about discipline instead of becoming disciplined. Studies relationships instead of learning how to love. Consumes motivational content instead of taking action.
He feels intelligent because he is constantly mentally stimulated. But stimulation is not transformation.
Most of the time, knowledge becomes emotional protection. Reality is unpredictable. Reality humiliates. Reality exposes weakness. Books and ideas do not.
Inside information, he can continue imagining himself as intelligent, deep, insightful, different from ordinary people. So he remains trapped in preparation.
He constantly feels as if he is "becoming" someone, while his real life remains strangely untouched. He develops sophisticated language for problems he never confronts directly. He can explain human behavior beautifully while being unable to handle ordinary discomfort, rejection, uncertainty, loneliness, or risk.
He slowly turns life into observation instead of participation.
The internet rewards this personality heavily. He receives validation for sounding aware rather than becoming capable.
Eventually, he begins confusing self-analysis with growth and information with wisdom.
But beneath the intelligence usually exists the same thing: fear. Fear of failure. Fear of embarrassment. Fear of reality answering back.
Because action destroys fantasy. The moment he truly acts, he can no longer hide inside potential.
