The rich should leave their wealth to their children, not to charity.
Mick Jagger’s announcement that he would not leave his fortune to his children caused much controversy. A chorus of celebrities have announced the same:
"I've told them the same thing my dad told me. My dad…
What if you want to believe in God but can't?
You want to believe in God but your intellect prevents it.
First, let me relieve you of a burden: you cannot force yourself to believe. Faith is a gift, not a work of man.
But know this: the insurmountable gulf which you imagine…

The destruction of systems and the rebirth of man

Only elitism can save the high arts
I have a close friend whose life’s work has been a failure.
She is an accomplished art historian and a liberal. Her great project has been, for decades, to get minorities interested in the old masters of European painting.
She’s a leading…

Colleges are progressive indoctrination factories, and worse value for money than ever. So why can't we abandon them?
A short essay on initiation rituals.
Our understanding of the college system is incomplete. Until we correct this, we won’t be able to fix or replace the…
The Vitalists are right: marriage domesticates too many Trads, and prevents them from achieving boldness and greatness.
The Trads are right: marriage and fatherhood are necessary.
But there is a third path, one that achieves both distance and intimacy, potentiality and…
My friend Kevin Dolan - featured in this video shared by Elon - has delivered a complete masterclass in how to capture the attention, imagination, and support of sympathetic elites.
Essential for the rest of us to learn from this.

These don't work because sacred space has to be distinct from profane (unreligious) space.
By imposing secular design language on sacred spaces you are failing to achieve the separation necessary for man to recognize that he is entering existentially different terrain.

In the medieval mind, being and truth were one.
Joseph Ratzinger on the Scholastic equation verum est ens (being is truth):
"For the ancient world and the Middle Ages, being itself is true, in other words, apprehensible, because God, pure intellect, made it, and he made it by…
Some parts of my wife's mind I know and love deeply. Some parts will forever remain mysterious and inaccessible.
I'm grateful for that. My journey towards her has infinite space to continue.

It's in the comments. I don't search and have adult filtered turned on. A porn bot literally replied to the post you're replying to.
@Ascendant4Xp
I think there's definitely something there. The very public announcements they make are definitely designed to frame them as superior and others worthy of condemnation/shame.
@martyrmade
A big problem is that the platform is trying to walk an untenable line in which some porn is fine but not others. Obviously this doesn't work and it spills all over the place.

Yes, but my point is that this a crude and at times actively destructive form of struggle. There are more natural and healthy ways of teaching the value of discipline and fortitude when raising children.
@kalezelden
Interesting to consider which are posturing and which are true believers, of which I think there are quite a few.
Thanks for the response Kale

If the Ivy League is the only place that can allow them to realize their full potential, then that's where they'll have to go for now. It's important that we have sympathetic and capable counter-elites. But we have to think about how to buttress their beliefs. As you say -…
