Thinkers of Loss

[Knajjd]

Plato - ancient Greek democracy will always decline into tyranny.

Aristotle - did not believe in progress due to the cult of youth and it's forgetfulness of the past.

Augustine - "if infants do not injure, it is for a lack of strength, not for lack of will".

Italian Renaissance - despite the art there was beneath it a sense of loss of an old wisdom and beauty.

De Tocqueville - Protestant and Puritan virtues in the USA replaced by rampant self-interest which destroys democracy.

Nietzsche - the glory of ancient Greece was a way for the Greeks to conceal the horror of the brutality of life.

Sengler - The Decline of the West; modern life is a civilization of technical merit and not a culture where art and religion can flourish. In a civilization men lose their identity.

Quantum Physics - I read, I don't recall where, that physics has not advanced since the 1920s, because the work of that period is the peak the human mind can reach.

Physics has seemingly not advanced because the National Science Foundation that was created in 1950 is really just a glow nigger front to suppress scientific discovery, misinform the public and send foreign nations on wild goose chases. String theory is one of it's psyops.

But what if there really is a limit to what the human mind can achieve and it's been reached?

Is the Solvay Conferene 1927 peak human intellect?

There are of course limitations, but that shouldn't stop a smart individual from understanding things from the big picture perspective. Perspective is everything, raw intellect is actually a small part of the equation. For example, Galileo was far more intelligent than Einstein, but because he lacked the perspectives of the 19th and 20th century, he was limited in what he could do. Having the right viewpoint trumps IQ. Henry Ford was of average intelligence, but because he had the right viewpoint he became an extremely successful business man and changed the landscape of transportation forever.

And I think there's plenty of extremely smart, autistic genius-level people alive today. More than the past. The problem is they are refused entry into institutions of higher learning because of the false ideology of equality/equity. Only low-IQ foids and subhumans are allowed into the Ivy Leagues. Instead our brightest people end up wasting their lives becoming video game speed runners or contributing to open source software projects for zero personal gain.

Anyway, I guess this ties into what Spengler is saying in your quote. Men having created modern technological civilization, are resented by the underclass of women, subhumans and soymales, who then conspire to take over the institutions the men created. Ultimately, men are relegated to a life of video games or hobby projects, and the institutions of importance to civilization are run by a managerial class of parasites who have no business doing so.
