    Read the first few paragraphs.

    The Olympics are on and they prove that even given the same training and opportunities that some people are faster, can jump higher or can throw longer. Good on them.

    People are different. Society should allow them to succeed to be the best they can be. As a parent one of the first lessons is that each child is different and requires a different approach.

    To assume that anyone can achieve the same performance is to assume we all have the same physical side. Patently its untrue. And as all elite athletes know 90% of performance is mental. People have a higher diversity of mental performance within themselves and between others then physical. In short we cannot all perform
    The same. This is a bonus not a weakness as diversiu is an advantage... After
    All the easiest AI to beat is the one that is always the same.

    So whoever this dude was he was wrong and full of bulldust. Find another hero, better still be your own hero.

    Our genes maybe in the basement but it does not stop us chosing our point of view from the top.

    Took a moment to look the author up. Yikes!

    "Evola believed that mankind is living in the Kali Yuga, a Dark Age of unleashed materialistic appetites, spiritual oblivion and organised deviancy. To counter this and call in a primordial rebirth, Evola presented his world of Tradition. The core trilogy of Evola's works are generally regarded as Revolt Against the Modern World, Men Among the Ruins and Ride the Tiger. According to one scholar, 'Evola’s thought can be considered one of the most radically and consistently antiegalitarian, antiliberal, antidemocratic, and antipopular systems in the twentieth century.' "

    No wonder every paragraph reads like an upscale version of GET OFF MY LAWN!

    Also note that whenever a writer moans about the decline of morals and standards, I want to direct them to the graffiti of Pompeii. People are no more or less wicked now than they've always been.

    Being a jaded man is the easiest thing
    There, but for the grace of God, goes John Bradford

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    The graffiti of Pompey - isn't that a bit of cherry picking? There's viking graffiti in Hagia Sofia too, but does that make it a less impressive monument to great architectural achievements, compared to concrete deserts that we see today.

    As for decline of culture, here's a nice picture:
    http://www.friatider.se/joda-visst-f...-kulturmarxism
    The top row of pictures illustrates European high culture, the bottom row illustrates multi-cultural and communist culture.

    I can give more examples ad nauseum, about decline especially in architecture. Cracow and old city of Waraw:

    versus communist Warsaw:

    Or Fontana di Trevi in Rome:

    I KNEW IT

    As soon as I saw the Socrates name drop, my brain started to turn.

    Then old Lyndons name gets dropped.

    Ladies and Gentleman, I am pleased to introduce a Larouchite, live and in color

    A Larouchie is fine, but I still wish we would get a flat earther.
