Here's Why Reading Old Books Is More Important Than Ever:
“Every age has its own outlook. It is specially good at seeing certain truths and specially liable to make certain mistakes. We all, therefore, need the books that will correct the characteristic mistakes of our own period. And that means the old books. All contemporary writers share to some extent the contemporary outlook—even those, like myself, who seem most opposed to it. … None of us can fully escape this blindness, but we shall certainly increase it, and weaken our guard against it, if we read only modern books. Where they are true they will give us truths which we half knew already. Where they are false they will aggravate the error with which we are already dangerously ill. The only palliative is to keep the clean sea breeze of the centuries blowing through our minds, and this can be done only by reading old books. Not, of course, that there is any magic about the past. People were no cleverer then than they are now; they made as many mistakes as we. But not the same mistakes. They will not flatter us in the errors we are already committing; and their own errors, being now open and palpable, will not endanger us.”
— C.S. Lewis, On the Reading of Old Books

Yes. Low-agency and low-originality voters act as an unbalancing force on the political process.
""If you have enough voters who believe things simply because others believe them, democracy becomes irrelevant.""
No, she does not realize anything.
No, she will not realize anything.
No, she will not change her belief system.
Because she has none.
Only high-testosterone, high-IQ heterosexual males speak and act as a result of their mental model of the system as a whole. Everyone else just says and does whatever they think will keep them safe, and maybe get them a pat on the head.
Her mental model is not "Diversity is good for France."
Her mental model is "if I say diversity is good for France, others will approve of me".
If you have enough voters who believe things simply because others believe them, democracy becomes irrelevant.
Actual opinion no longer matters, only the illusion of consensus. Because the people who are swayed by the illusion of consensus become the swing voters, and everyone who actually needs to be reasoned with becomes irrelevant.
That's what women's suffrage is really for. That's what immigration is really for. That's what government school systems are for. They are all for generating a critical mass of voters whose opinions are formed outside their heads.
That's why the entire Western political class appears to hate high-T hetero White men suddenly and all at once.
Western high-T hetero White men are the demographic that advances civilization at all, but they are also the greatest impediment to managerial rule. And guess which one the political class actually cares about.
So, no, women are not going to suddenly wake up and reverse course.
You are not going to seize power by changing women's minds.
You must change women's minds by seizing power.

The mermaid and the siren symbolically teach us of a certain kind of femininity, that is, weaponised beauty - the invitation which is a trap - this usually takes the form of striking poetic intimacy, candid disclosures, acts of divergent brilliance or revealed yearning and hunger which have no aim other than to mesmerise, and feed off the awe of the transfixed.
It is the woman who says “notice how special I am so you can want me enough for me to nourish myself with your desire” - except of course she is neither so honest nor so direct to expose her mechanism in such a way, but this is what it is tantamount to - it is a type of spiritual feeding.
Even though she does possess some measure of greatness, the song is a corruption, for she has no intention to give you anything. She invites you to desire her so that she may nourish herself, even though she has no intention to serve you. That is the entire scam of her. Her very real beauty and brilliance is a hook so that she may feed on you, revealed to you only so that it may trap you.
She shows herself without giving herself, intimating depths you are invited to enter - but the doorway exists solely so that she may capture you through your gaze - Medusa would be a siren then - you see she has no intention to permit you entry, only to feed on you in her corruption, for not even her purity is pure in its recruitment of trapping souls, and therein lies her ugliness - the ugliness is not beneath her beauty, but in the purpose to which it has been subordinated: counterfeit surrender.
To realise this is what she is doing is to become immune to what she is doing, for in revealing her beauty’s corruption it renders her performance plain, but most men lack this perception, for they hear her sultry contempt or curated ache, recognise her deliberately coy brilliance, and are led astray like a young Hansel, but the discerning man - not the cynic - sees the “gimmick” - laughs, and pulls up a chair on the deck to watch the various crashing ships swirl to their doom, all because a pretty rock sang to them for little more than its own selfish pleasure.

Elon Musk explains his 5-step algorithm for solving any problem:
“The most common mistake of smart engineers is to optimize a thing that should not exist.”
“I have this very basic first principles algorithm that I run as a mantra.”
Elon breaks it down:
Step 1: Question the requirements.
“Make the requirements less dumb. The requirements are always dumb to some degree, no matter how smart the person who gave you those requirements. You have to start there, because otherwise you could get the perfect answer to the wrong question.”
Step 2: Try to delete it.
“Try to delete the part or the process step entirely. If you’re not forced to put back at least 10% of what you delete, you’re not deleting enough.
Most people feel like they’ve succeeded if they haven’t been forced to put things back in. But actually they haven’t; they’ve been overly conservative and left things in that shouldn’t be there.”
Step 3: Optimize or simplify.
“The most common mistake of smart engineers is to optimize a thing that should not exist. So you don’t optimize until after you’ve tried to delete.”
Step 4: Speed it up.
“Any given thing can be done faster than you think. But you shouldn’t speed things up until you’ve tried to delete it and optimize it; otherwise, you’re speeding up something that shouldn’t exist.”
Step 5: Automate.
“And then the fifth thing is to automate it.”
Elon explains why the order matters:
“I’ve gone backwards so many times—where I’ve automated something, sped it up, simplified it, and then deleted it. I got tired of doing that. So that’s why I have this mantra.”

Hi. 😊 Swedish dude here.
When our children get sick, we have 60 paid days per year to stay home with them.
Per parent.
They're separate from my 25 paid vacation days.
Meaning I don't have to use my own paid sick leave.
If I'm a single parent: 120 days.
If my child has a chronic illness: 120 days
If my child is hospitalized: unlimited days.
These days reset every January.
By law. every year until child is 18.
Follow for more glimpses into life in a social democracy, where dignity is not a privilege.
Peace ✌🏼
Whatever the Salem witch trials accomplished in terms of deterrence seems to have worn off. Might be something to consider again.

A very sad announcement.
I have just been convicted a second time for 'hate speech' and it is only due to a technicality that I could not immediately be sent to jail —to the judge's frustration.
In an ironic turn of events it's actually thanks to my previous prison sentence (for memes in a private group chat) that I am now still free —in a physical sense, at least.
Call me naive but I didn't think they would take it this far, given that this precedent criminalises many of the arguments used by even the most moderate politicians critical of mass migration.
In February 2024 I gave a lecture at Catholic University Leuven wherein I linked mass migration to crime and a deterioration of our quality of life. Every single point I made was 100% the truth and based on scientific evidence.
Cynically, even the judge that convicted me admits as much by writing in his verdict: “Even if all of the statements made by Van Langenhove are based on scientific evidence and statistics, it makes no difference to the criminal intent. Van Langenhove is not charged with spreading false information. He is charged with presenting facts in a way that incites hatred against persons on the grounds of one or more of the protected criteria in the Anti-Racism Law.”
That's a lot of words just to say he wants to send me to prison for speaking the truth.
Even the regime media write: "It did not matter to the court that Van Langenhove was quoting scientific sources. The judge argued that Van Langenhove's main message was that a big part of the societal problems like insecurity, housing shortages and lowering educational standards are due to mass migration."
You may think the regime media are being sympathetic to me in the first sentence, but in reality they are warning people: even if you speak the truth, if you go against our narrative, we will crush you in every way possible.
Both the public prosecutor and the judge did not present a single real argument as to how or against whom I would have incited hatred. So even if I would accept their crazy, dystopic law, I still did not break it.
The only argument they present is that I created a "hostile atmosphere of us versus them” in regards to migrants. But even this silly argument (which is not even a punishable offence) is not true. To me, the deadly disease is self-hatred and one of its worst symptoms is replacement migration. My enemy is thus NOT the migrants themselves but those orchestrating the mass migration.
Sadly, in Belgium, evidence is not needed and ‘vibes’ are enough to put someone in jail.
Given the fact that I have another court case coming up in September and that I have a dozen active criminal investigations for hate speech, time is running out for me. I have already paid more than €420,000 in legal fees and there is no ending in sight. I have been in an intense battle of attrition for eight years and must now regroup to make sure I can still win.
If you want to help me, you can do so via the links below. If you can help in other ways, please contact me via DM.
If you live in a country that still has free speech, never let them touch it, however noble they make the motives sound, because this is where it leads to.

The @ChudTheBuilder shooting seems tailor-made for national attention. Here are some of my beliefs:
- the Magic Word is a loadbearing pillar of the civil rights era and gay race communism
- we will never be free as long as there is a special word that gives blacks social and even legal permission to violently attack Whites
- nobody actually cares about the word. The magic is jealously protected as a means of disempowering, humiliating, and controlling White people. It is a cynical power tool which only works because we allow it
- gay race communism has to be fought on every front. We can’t allow them any untouchable shrines into which to retreat when needed
You can question Dalton‘s methods, his motives, and his personal life, but if you question his courage then I’d like to know what it is that you are doing to give you such standing
When someone is courageously risking his life to fight an important and thankless battle, I’m not about to countersignal him and I don’t think you should either. You don’t have to openly support him. But if you feel compelled to trash him, I don’t think we’re on the same side
Stop ceding them the Magic Word. Don’t be a mindraped slave. Nigger nigger nigger. I wish Dalton the best. Anyone who supports trying to hurt him belongs in jail. There can be no magic words
