@unseenseer Join the club! (lol) But, the truth may not bring you joy,

but it will set you free. Good luck on your journey.

Or perhaps when these corrupt lies do not work, intellectuals start to notice?

Interesting subject, poor sound quality. Someone should learn to set up a microphone properly or our whole civilization may collapse.

Caught in a static view where emotionality is more important than clarity

[unseenseer]

It's interesting to watch my emotional attachments to buddhism flare up while watching this video. I wonder if everything I ever thought is a misconception. I am utterly caught in my own prison I think.

This is very astute stuff. I hesitate to call it stuff. Memes then, Mythocracies.

Phantasmagarchies.

Kudos.

ive read like first 150 pgs of decline of the west and i then i stopped because its pure non-sense. spengler's philosophy is a mix of postmodernism, hegelry and nietzsche. its truly empirically unverifyable. the things that truly outraged were his criticism of kant's main critique and his views on math and science. for spengler, differential equations are just a product of our age, and math of ancient greeks is just a true, but for THEIR AGE. dont even bother reading this depressing nonsense
