My favorite quote from Curtis Yarvin is this:
You can teach yourself not to have limbic reactions to history.
And politics, I want to add.
By limbic, Yarvin means gushily emotional. He’s correct in that we have slopped over the entirety of the public space with our emotions. Dignity, discipline, and self-control are but a distant memory.
We’ve prayed at the altar of everything that liberates and empowers for so long that now it might be a good idea to step in the opposite direction.
I know my comment may be perceived as invidious [careful choice of words here], but I cannot help observing that this decline into emotional gushing seems to be coterminous with the advent of women entering public life.
And it has been spiralling out of control ever since, into ever-growing circles of delirious sentimentality and neurotic virtue signalling. Many men now seem to be infected with similar amounts of hysterical irrationality.
Exactly. Some eager housewife on Twitter invented phone calls that Nuland, Obama and a bunch of other people supposedly made to Zelensky on his way to meet Trump. Some dumb, overheated nobody. She immediately acknowledged that she invented it. She’s bored and wants to feel important on social media. But guess what? Many people I expected to be a bit more discerning are spreading the dumb idjit’s story like it actually happened. And this is after that same pouty idjit lady created one hoax after another for years.
It’s the perfect illustration of what you are saying. An emotionally deprived woman makes mischief out of boredom and nobody has the discernment to see her for what it is.
