Robert Greene is a vulgar imbecile.

In a short clip titled Robert Greene: How to LEARN a Language FASTER #shorts YouTube · Brad Carr, Greene says the best way to learn a language is if you are excited.

Nothing to disagree with at first, though the example he used is as vulgar as it gets. Greene compared the effectiveness of learning French at university versus the following (I paraphrase): […] but if you go to France and you meet a French girl, and you want to seduce (sic!) her and do whatever, now you are really motivated — and it is fun …! He even started off by saying that “this is something that happened to me”! Wow! Wow! Wow!

If he wants to be taken seriously, he could have rather used French literature as an example, as there are without a doubt numerous great authors one could then read in their original tongue … but no. It is all about sexuality again.

(This method is useless anyway when dealing with classical languages like Latin, Greek, Hebrew or Sanskrit.)

It is no wonder he and others like him are so popular while those of merit mostly go unnoticed in our vulgar times — which are stupid, fake and gay, to quote Vox Day. Cannot disagree much with him here (I would add vulgar and deranged).

To use an example, during his years in high school already, Panajotis Kondylis learned German because of his interest in several authors he was reading (Marx, Nietzsche.) That is a more mature reason — and at the age of around fifteen!

All this promiscuous dung was not acceptable prior to the horrible Baby Boomer generation anyway.

Gómez Dávila suffers with us:

The modern mentality’s conceptual pollution of the world is more serious than contemporary industry’s pollution of the environment.

It is fine to demand that the imbecile respect arts, letters, philosophy, the sciences, but let him respect them in silence.

The cultural rickets of our time is a result of the industrialization of culture.

In no previous age did the arts and letters enjoy greater popularity than in ours. Arts and letters have invaded the school, the press, and the almanacs.
No other age, however, has produced such ugly objects, nor dreamed such coarse dreams, nor adopted such sordid ideas.
It is said that the public is better educated. But one does not notice.

The majority of men have no right to give their opinion, but only to listen.

We should ask the majority of people not to be sincere, but mute.
