I'm going to bring some educating light to this hell hole.
Here is a picture of what an elite education has historically been considered, up until recent trends of retardation swept the land. You're looking at it right. It is a bunch of books, but these are not just any books. These are the Great Books, which contain the Great Ideas. Previously, this sort of education was reserved only for the world's most privileged. Now, anyone can gain access through online resources.
Any Forums complains about the state of modern society, yet does nothing to fix it, and by that I mean - really FIX it. It takes education. It takes introspection. It takes learning the ideas which took mankind from a state of nature, into the heighest civilization known to man, which is currently not so high, and is instead in a state of decline. Subvert the decline. Read the books.
Errors are in abundance in our society. Look no further than wokeness and the slow creep of Marxism. There is an attempt to fill our society with errors. It bleeds into our culture and our institutions. Everything about it is derived out of the fact that people have turned away from the West's intellectual inheritence. "It's too hard!" they say. Pah!
I do sound kind of gay in this thread, but it's the fucking truth. You want to save civilization? You want to keep it from going to shit? I have the antidote. It's literally right here.

You're a little wrong though. You need Traditionalism. >March of the Titans (Arthur Kemp) >A History of Central Banking (S. M. Goodson) >Decline of the West [vol 1 and vol 2] (Oswald Spengler) >Imperium (F. P. Yockey) >White Power (George Lincoln Rockwell) >Can Life Prevail (P. Linkola) >The Lightning and the Sun (Savitri Devi) >A Handbook of Traditional Living 1: Theory & Practice (RAIDO) >A Handbook of Traditional Living 2: Style & Ascesis (RAIDO) >Metaphysics of War (J. Evola) >A handbook for Right-Wing Youth (J. Evola) >The Crisis of the Modern World (Rene Guenon) >Plato: The Complete Works >The Enneads (Plotinus) >Complete Works of Aristotle >Essays: First Series (Emerson) >Essays: Second Series (Emerson)

This is literally a picture from the shelf of the great books curriculum at one of America's oldest colleges at the beginning of the 20th century. Spengler is actually referenced in the Great Ideas, so he's technically included. If society were still based in the great books, we wouldn't need a bunch of additionally literature explaining how fucked everything is.
>[BUMP] What good are you retards going to do with that 616 hours of reading time otherwise? Reading this shit will even give you some ideas of what to do next. That's the whole point.

One thing to reject are the expressive habituations of modernity. Express yourself through language, not memes. I understand it is hard and seems silly, but these are the kinds of things we must recognize if we are to restore the west. We must live intelligently and with dignity, and we must cast into the flames all which is unbecoming of our great civilization.
Reminder that studying pure mathematics, physics, biology etc. is a part of traditional western education.

How do train society to be present in the moment, and rooted in culture? How do we go from this technological, perverse cyber landscape (Any Forums included) to a literary society which is historically aware, dignified, and productive? How do we turn away from the consumerism and corporatism, and the death the geographic local uniqueness? How do we kill scientific humanism and universalism?
>Reminder that studying pure mathematics, physics, biology etc. is a part of traditional western education. literally pointless if you want to actually save our collapsing civilization. people need to know who we are dealing with. if we somehow manage to take back the reins, we could spend time looking at that. but right now, its a code red emergency. collapse is already rigged to blow.
I understand the desire for making elbow room, but when you study something difficult, particuarly something which represents a pinnacle of thought, it changes you, and makes one better able to confront the world.
