Morning in the Bay of Naples (1873) by Ivan Aivazovski
A descriptive constitution of the modern regime
An insanely long but rewarding essay by Curtis Yarvin. He talks about how the U.S. constitution actually operates in American society. Yarvin will red pill you hard.
In the essay, he presents what an alternative constitution can look like:
“The mission of this chapter is to write America’s descriptive, unwritten constitution; or give at least a rough outline. Since this outline is very different from the parchment in the glass box, even with all amendments, it will use its own labels that no one uses. These labels will describe the actual patterns of habitual and professional command, obedience and trust that define the power structure of an operational regime.”
This is a compilation of posts from an internet forum called the Salo Forum, written by a man who goes by the name Thomas777 online. On a bunch of forum topics, he lays out his own takes, each of which are original and thought-provoking. I learned A TON from this. It’s an amazing collection. Reminds you how some of the greatest thinkers of our time are probably not in the public spotlight.
Below is just a treat. The energy of the 1920s and 1930s conveyed through music. Instruments are played energetically and wildly, the musicians are having loads of fun and the singers are bringing their heart and soul into it.
