The old formalism dies because it does not change, because it does not see a reason to change. “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.“ Instead, it becomes brittle, reactionary and vulnerable to collapse.
Our pastoral forebears proclaimed that there was a season for everything. But then the electric light banished the night, the train and the auto banished distance, the plane and the radio banished time, and now, month by month, it becomes more clear that our accelerating technological advance is on the verge of obviating classical social evolution.
Historians will describe forces opposing the new techno-reality as resurgent Luddism.
Excellent. And for those of us who are storytellers, exhausting. What indeed. Rather changes the lens for a woman who would just as soon write of broken hearts and an artist's isolation by very identity from the world at large.
Makes me think how Italy’s Renaissance was such an anomaly. City-states constantly at each other’s throats, foreign armies everywhere, chaos the default. Yet somehow, out of all that mess, you get Michelangelo, Leonardo… Maybe it’s just me, but it doesn’t fit as neatly as other examples.
And in the age of reforging hopefully there will be a use for us artists, philosophers and writers. Honestly, am tired of being on the margins. We need new art, not re-worked stuff of the past few decades, we need a renewal of culture not a micro-waved one.
Spring-time will occur after deep suffering, and will occur I would argue when people want it.
Though I'd argue that a strong leader isn't a bad thing, as democracy is itself a bad thing. What Augustus Caesar offered was however the best parts of democracy and of monarchy fused together into a system that worked very well, so well in fact it guaranteed the average Roman a decent life for the next 200 years. So we shouldn't knock what might come next. Isn't peace, and stability better than the ravages of our current atomized period? I'm just commenting this because the present period of chaos and anarchy and endless murders isn't worth it. We need Remigration, we need stability and peace in the streets, to build something lasting.
I must confess that I'm seeing Europeans more willing to come together in recent days as left and right become bygone concepts there. What shape will the nations take there I do not know. I only know that they historically tend to turn towards strong monarchies and rulers in times of duress. They also tend to become more artistic at such times.
If we choose out of fear, we'll repeat patterns. If we choose out of courage, well open portals to something new.
let's do it out of courage.

I hope whatever answer we find will lead to positive change, but that is far from guaranteed.
We do have hope.

Any world.
But yes. To return the vision...
Because once it was there...
