Entry: Slaughterhouse '73 Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/slaughterhouse_73#14846 Post contents: I wish that Oswald Spengler wasn't right. I wish that Julius Evola wasn't right. But they are. In the summer on 1914, the western culture, light of the world, put a gun to its head and puled the trigger. Since that time, the world has been headed into a very, very dark place, and there is precious little that you can do about it. Read Epictetus, read the New Testament, read Count Evola's works - "Men Among The Ruins" and "Ride The Tiger" are probably the best ones to help survive these times. Realize that the world as it is now doesn't want to be helped - like a heroin addict who wants only to be left alone to die in a filthy alleyway with a needle sticking out of their arm. It's horribly depressing, and difficult to know how to deal with without lapsing either into Count Evola's uncaring elitism or into boundless despair. If you can, ride the tiger. If you can't, drink and cry. I do some of both. Sent at: 2008 05 12
