Who read 'The Forest Passage' by Ernst Jünger?

[Altruist]

It's short, but dense and hard to read. 

Perfectly describes towncel

[Ropium]

youre the epitome of the modern mass-man who is simultaneously highly-opinionated and utterly ignorant.

im 63 I've done and seen things you wouldn't believe. just dont believe in reading and false humility. if i can get to the same point faster than everyone else without needing to read why would i waste time on reading? i am actively ignorant but far more knowledgeable and wiser than most phds because i am simply better at discerning the value of things and their purpose. therefore higher efficiency for understanding reality.

I can detect fundamental truths and patterns quicker and therefore don't need to trudge through the typical discovery process. its like how you can tell when a movie is bad from commercials and astroturfed critic responses. i am able to do this for other media as well as most opinions. Greeks have word for this called noesis. This used to be normal behavior for our ancestors

I don't expose myself to any thoughts outside of alt right racialism because I have done the parsing already and know no other ideas and theories are as robust.. this why i don't bother with modern musics either since they're mostly redundant and inferior arrangements of past works. i almost exclusively listen to 70s and 80s sock songs, all good songs I have already discovered decades ago, i can litrally hear the direct inspirations from mozart and bach in lady gaga that even she probably isn't aware of. the curse of acute perception.

Tldr humans have essentially reached peak IQ, knowledge and perception in the 1700s nothing afterwards is new, everything good and useful you can know by cultural osmosis. The rest is redundant at best and mostly harmful corrupting and demonic

No substance to your critique. Ignored

[MysteriousWeeb420]

substance is relative

[Honest]

in other words, you spent your life as a neet

By choice for principled reasons. 

I have found that is the only virtuous path left to man in the west. All other avenues even crime lead to self debasement. In fact that's what they want, they want to push you towards permissiveness for all manner of vile things one would not contemplate under.normal circumstances

becoming the parasite is the least ethically compromised position available to the free man of the west. Each dollar i remove from the system without giving back is one more dollar taken out of the slushfund for repressing me. To.me it's not much of a sacrifice i have always enjoyed living in austerity. Enticing high schoolers with a few dollars for starbucks or ice cream even if there is no chance of a union can sometimes be even more exciting than a quality prostitute that cost several hundred to a grand here in america
