Yes, I know this Arminius. I just view it as a tragedy how the last of the Alemanni succumbed to Frank Christians. I'm of the mind Europe would of been better off staying pagan as I detest Christianity. Thousands of Alemanni women, men, and children were slaughtered for not accepting the Christ god. **

You can teach a child to think logically by teaching it that it's bad, not allowed, punishable to contradict oneself, for example. Indeed, this is how the development of logical thinking always works. At the very least one is punished with not being understood, being considered thick, mad, etc.. **

6104 |
The child matures when he stops thinking in terms of punishment and reward and begins thinking in terms of need, his own and other's. When the need is taught, the child matures more quickly.
Logic is about the need to construct thought and communicate. It is not so much about what one »should do or else«. **
6105 |
Something is not »nonsense« just because it's possible to think deeper, to elaborate on it. **
The child will indeed first have to have learned that »bad«, »not allowed« etc. mean that the kind of behaviour of which that is predicated tends to be followed by experiences that are unpleasant for the child. **
This does mean ethics is preceded by - aesthetics .... **

You said there that you were not a Kantian, but a historian of philosophy. But it's precisely as a historian that you are lacking. Where's your solution to the problem posed by historicism? **
»[T]he full phenomenon of a cow is for a Hindu constituted much more by the sacredness of the cow than by any other quality or aspect. This implies that one can no longer speak of our 'natural' understanding of the world; every understanding of the world is historical. Correspondingly, one must go back behind the one human reason to the multiplicity of historical, 'grown' not 'made,' languages. Accordingly there arises the philosophic task of understanding the universal structure common to all historical worlds. Yet if the insight into the historicity of all thought is to be preserved, the understanding of the universal or essential structure of all historical worlds must be accompanied and in a way guided by that insight. This means that the understanding of the essential structure of all historical worlds must be understood as essentially belonging to a specific historical context, to a specific historical period. The character of the historicist insight must correspond to the character of the period to which it belongs. The historicist insight is the final insight in the sense that it reveals all earlier thought as radically defective in the decisive respect and that there is no possibility of another legitimate change in the future which would render obsolete or as it were mediatise the historicist insight. As the absolute insight it must belong to the absolute moment in history.« (
Straussthus: Nietzsche, »Philosophy as Rigorous Science and Political Philosophy«, with my emphasis.)Nietzsche [duh!] solved the difficulty indicated here, by his philosophy of the eternal recurrence of the world as will to power. **

@ Arminius
I see the reason for the collapse of the West in the weakness and demise within the West itself. **
I prefer the word »Faustians« to describe what Occidentals really are. The words »Europeans« and »Westerners« tell us more about geographical aspects than about what this people really are. Faustians have the absolute will, are absloutely dynamic (energetic), very intelligent, they are by far the best technicians, inventers, designers, scientists, geniuses, artists, poets and thinkers ... and so on; but they are all this in the negative way too, which means, for example, that they can get a very bad conscience, if correspondending circumstances are given: so, for example, in the case of decadence (nihilism) they use their absolute will, their absolute dynamics (energy), their high intelligence and all their other high features against themselves.
So the Faustians are very successful people - by far the most successful people of all times (see above) -, but they are very tragic people too. Maybe that success and tragedy correlate with each other, at least in the long run. It is very likely that the end of this tragedy will really be that the Faustians will have sacrificed themselves. ** **

In the wake of the rioting in Charlottesville, several companies have taken steps to end their relationships with certain websites that promote white supremacy. Go Daddy, and then Google, stopped providing domain registration services to the Daily Stormer site when it mocked a woman who'd been murdered by one of the white supremacists. In the lead-up to the rally, AirBnB cancelled reservations for people using the service to attend. Many have applauded these moves, and many others are now condemning the seeming lone holdout, Cloudflare.
But the people who vocally praise the phenomenon are also often those who take anti-corporate positions, who fight for things like Net Neutrality, who want regulation over Google and Facebook to prevent them from exercising just this kind of discretion. If you don't think that companies should be the arbiters of acceptable speech, if you don't think they should have the right to censor what gets said or choose what events are acceptable to attend, you should be wary of their exercise of exactly those powers here. You may agree with this censorship, but it is still censorship, it is still private companies attempting to use their market dominance to punish speech and assembly that they don't like. **

Actually I had that same stance with Einstein. I had/have nothing against the actual Einstein papers and theories, although the Relativity ontology isnt entirely coherent.

The Franks (Latin: Franci or gens Francorum) were a collection of Germanic peoples that originated in the lands between the Lower and Middle Rhine in the 3rd century AD and eventually formed a large empire dominating much of western and central Europe during the Middle Ages. The Frankish Empire ultimately led to the birth of modern France and Germany and thus the Franks are seen as the forebears of the French and German peoples (in addition to Austrians, the Dutch, Luxembourgers and some other European nations). **

The republican party has been taken over by neoconservatives. What use to be the republican party doesn't exist anymore. There is little difference between communist liberal leaning democrats and neoconservatives. Both groups are controlled by globalists and internationalists. Democrats control the social and cultural narrative nationwide domestically while neoconservatives control Wallstreet along with the military industrial complex in foreign policy, both groups serve the same masters. Donald Trump is surrounded by enemies on both political parties and better be careful as he has very few friends. A man surrounded by enemies is a lonely and vulnerable one. **

There are examples in history and also in the present that show people who hate their country (really or not really - this is often not clear). So it is possible. And everything that is possible can become real. ** **
Do some (and if yes: how many) of the U.S. citizens hate their country, for example because of the unjustice in the world?

The question remains: »Do some (and if yes: how many) of the U.S. citizens hate their country, for example because of the unjustice in the world?« ** **

Well, let us hope that what happened to Nixon doesn't happen to Trump. If it does it won't go down as peacefully as it did in the 1970's. Certainly the circumstances are much different.
Unfortunately Europe (European Union) is a vassal state of the United States with our military bases spread all over there along with our funding of N.A.T.O. I dream that one day Europeans will be independent again to pursue their own lives in independence without being under American yoke and influence. I dream that one day Europeans will shake off the yoke of the European Central Bank and that the Unites States will become free of the Federal Reserve.

Americans and Europeans must work together to keep the dream of independence alive in solidarity as we are fighting the same enemies. The American and European struggle are one in the same.

I can agree, but I nevertheless think that this trend will be finished or cut off by a catastrophe like a huge war or even a natural catastrophe. After that catastrophe this forgone trend will probably be the most damnable trend and those who will follow it will face the death penalty. But after that period the situation will probably change in the other way again. So the general trend will probably be similar to what is shown in that video.

My wife and I was (!

You seem to think that cultural is some static thing, it isn't, it changes and adapts and modifies all the time... there is no such thing as native culture and custom especially in a country like the U.S.... we are a country of immigrants and those immigrants brought their own culture and customs to the U.S. and we have adapted and modified that culture and customs into our own thing... like Chicken Tikka Masala being the most important dish in England.......is that the native culture and customs you are trying to protect? **

According to Helmuth Nyborg and many others before him (and only few others - I am among them - after him) intelligence is mainly based on genetics and on the landscape, the environment, more exactly said: on the regional climate and some of its consequences. One can say that the northern humans (humans of regions with a moderate and especially a cold climate) are averagely much more intelligent than the southern humans (humans of regions with a warm and especially a hot climate). And indeed, this has already been proven, although some other aspects must be and have been taken in account as well.
Now, if a northern human correctly says »I am more intelligent than the southern humans«, then this northern human will immediately be called a »racist« or an »IQ racist«. But if a southern human correctly says »I am more athletic and have a larger penis than the northern humans«, then that southern human will immediately get agreement and praise from everyone, nobody will call that southern human a »racist« or/and a »sexist«.
One can state with certainty: There are huge differences when it comes to intelligence. These differences were already proven in the 19th century. But since about the second half or the third third or at least the fifth fifth of the 20th century it has been forbidden to say anything about these differences, because they are mostly caused by genetics (averagely about 70% or even 80%), biology, climate, thus only little by sociology. So our rulers are not only against intelligence differences, they are also against genetics, against biology, against climatology. Probably they are also against intelligence itself.
Who are the more real racist: those who correctly say that they are more intelligent than others, or those who incorrectly say that those who say that they are more intelligent than others are incorrect or even racists?
If there are intelligence differences (and there are huge intelligence differences for sure!), then there are also people who correctly say that they are more intelligent than others.
Why is it forbidden to be intelligent? And especially: Why is it forbidden to be more intelligent than others? And specifically: Why is it forbidden to say this?
There is a huge interest in forbidding all this.
When liberalism and egalitarianism come together »fraternally« (
), they have to keep a peaceful distance between themselves: liberalism is for the few rich people, egalitarianism is for the many poor people; and if this peaceful distance is really kept by both of them, then it works like the current globalism works. What does this mean in the context of what I said above? That peaceful distance can only be kept, if there are artificially made differences (for example: »racism«, »sexism« versus »politically correctness«) in order to hide the real differences (such as intelligence differences or the difference between eugenics and dysgenics), because this is one of the means which is used in order to control all humans on this planet - according to the established method and ruling principle: divide et impera. ** **

Globalism is a consolidation period where all nation states are competing against each other for natural resources that are peaking across the planet. It is essentially a technological and military race to see who is left to conquer the entire world geo-politically. The end result of this madness will be a nightmare for every living human being left afterwards, these are my thoughts anyways.
Still, I am hoping that after this global ghetto project fails (which it will sooner or later) there will be opportunity to build something better afterwards from its ruins. I am hoping that remnant European survivors of this global chimera will be able to forge a new society and identity learning from our previous collective mistakes or errors. This of course assumes there will be any survivors at all from the current global calamities that plague us as total annihilation can always knock on our front at any time. **

The Thermodynamic Solar Irradiance Selection (TSIS) Hypothesis:
- The latitudinal reduction in Sun Irradiation and related carrying capacity of cold eco-niches exposed the small bands of genetically quite similar prehistoric northbound migrants to still harsher selection for traits beneficial for survival.
- Among those traits are Brain Size, Intelligence, and Altruistic Sociability, as they all favor in photon-poor, nutritionally bare Northern eco-niches.
- Their heritability will leave modern-day artefacts in the form of North-South gradients in IQ, Brain Size, and Altruistic Sociability. **
Summary:
1.) High Civilization reflects the geo-physics of Cold Ecotypes.
2.) It accordingly will receive little support in Warm Ecotype ereas.
3.) Warm Ecotypes cannot be integrated in modern technological European and Western offshoot countries, except for the few at the high end of the normal distribution of Warm Ecotypes. **
