“Whoever does not turn his back on the contemporary world dishonors himself.”
2024-05-07: apart from occasional typos I may come across when reading some of what I wrote on here, I don’t want to waste any more time on this. Aside from one email—whose body consisted of a single escolio by Gómez Dávila—, I did not get any response. And don’t need any either, since I have the great thinkers and reactionaries of the past on my side. As I think I have shown on here; after all, I tried to quote other authors of note to cement my position.
Instead, I will focus on becoming even more of a recluse, seeing how the West is going under, and spend time reading great works of literature and philosophy, which is more important and certainly of higher quality than what you get to read on the ’net, filled with vulgar people addicted to money, fame and sex.
New domain (2020-12-26). I might try to update some older posts that got too long. Some of them I wrote while angry about the trite trash people force down your throat on the net. It is a horrible time to be alive for sure.
Who I am is of little importance. An ugly loser, a no status male. Those not affected by mental illness should keep their mouths shut; instead, they often enough wax poetic about how beautiful it all is.

Gómez Dávila:
“Engaging in dialogue with those who do not share our postulates is nothing
more than a stupid way to kill time.”
“Modern man defends nothing energetically except his right to debauchery.”
“Civilization always consists in dressing oneself, not undressing.”
“What we discover as we age is not the vanity of everything, but of almost
everything.”
“We spend a life trying to understand what a stranger understands at a
glance: that we are just as insignificant as the rest.”
“Our misery proceeds less from our problems than from the solutions which
are appropriate for them.”
“Capable men accept degrading themselves in order to triumph.
And eventually they fail because they degraded themselves.”
“The being one finds oneself to be is also in the end a stranger to us.”
“We live because we do not view ourselves with the same eyes with which
everybody else views us.”
