[…] Michael Anissimov posted an Evolian excerpt in which Jim detected the odor of Communism. Land loved Jim’s response. (And even if you disagree with Jim, you gotta admit he’s pretty lovable.) I thought Fuimus […]

To be single for a long period of time fills one with a kinetic madness, removing all check on strange heterodoxy, building abstraction on top of abstraction with no earthly considerations to drag on one’s attention, an involuntary priesthood.

I’m waiting for an Evola advocates to say something true I haven’t already thought of. Or: can I tell someone’s read Evola without them saying so? So far, no. (Aside from the Hyperborean thing, which is pretty sketchy on truth.) By contrast, I can very easily tell if someone’s read, oh, I don’t know, Nick Land say.

From what I’ve gathered, Islam primarily increases in size due to fertility, and it is mostly the Catholic church which manages to convert people in IQ-challenged countries. With the current Pope and increasing latinization of the church it isn’t hard to see why it would be increasingly appealing to such an audience.

I wonder whether crusades will return once the center of power of the Catholic church has moved southwards, towards Africa in particular.

“human beings, not copies of information running down a complex program”

Wait, there’s a difference? I thought transhumanism was heresy for nonmaterialists. I like to imagine (as in imagination land of childlike speculation, not religious prophesy or evidence based prediction) that my mind might continue in an altered state, subsumed as part of a much larger mind, or copied and thus part of many larger minds, a part of me, not myself but of my essence, may yet continue for a time, and see wonderful things. Much as how as a fetus I had a brain and awareness but very different than what exists today. The end of history? That seems like a solipsistic thing to say.

Neoreaction is Anglo (duh!) and Evola is utterly marginal to it.

It’s good to see there’s at least one other serious reader of Evola here. The hamfisted and idiotic treatment Evola has gotten by some supposedly serious neo “reactionaries” has led me to believe NRx is just cynical progressivism. Here be Anglos, after all…

It doesn’t worry me in the sense that the future you describe would be the end of history; I would not be part of it and would have no evaluation of it until I witnessed all of it being melted back into prima materia. Given that, I’m more interested in possible histories that involve human beings, not copies of information running down a complex program.
