is a term often used to designate comfort.

|
|
Curiously, increasing "Quality of Life" often decreases the Quality of Life.
|
|
|
|
Because, if organisms do not interact with the world in a significant manner, they degenerate.
|
|
|
|
They do not develop talents and abilities.
|
|
|
|
The people who do not work hard, the cultural producers, team up with barbarians in order to preserve their free time.
|
|
|
|
As Haywood Says: great brutality is required to retain cultural production.
|
|
|
|
The ruling class uses the trifecta of individualism, collectivism, and technology to rule the world and disconnect people from the land.
|
|
|
|
Individualism is the most insidious of all, because they use it as a pretense to make the collective bigger.
|
|
|
|
They say "Look! If you conquer that nation, I will reward you with money and gifts!"
|
|
|
|
And all the while, the collective becomes shorter-term and lower quality.
|
|
|
|
One great big mass.

In Civilization, it is always those at the top who enjoy the most comfort.
|
|
|
|
This is how we began: kings lived richly, as a reward for their proficiency in violence.
|
|
|
|
Those who endure the most strife enjoy the most benefits when they are resting.
|
|
|
|
This is consistent with the negroid lifestyle. For the negroid, violence is sufficient for obtaining food. The man who retains his territory is the man who is rich.
|
|
|
|
For Western man, this may be true, but the lands are less plentiful. This means that new archetypes must form: instead of hunter and gatherer, we begin to see herder and farmer.
|
|
|
|
This domestication of the Earth and the Beast is the beginning of Civilization.
|
|
|
|
It is the introduction of consistency, predictability, and delayed gratification.
|
|
|
|
The motions of a herder snd farmer are less explosive and free than the motions of a hunter and gatherer.
|
|
|
|
By creating a herd or a farm, man is narrowing his focus to a specific pocket of reality. This is the notion of property z
|
|
|
|
|
|
The largest is delayed gratification. Both of these disciplines require more thought and patience than hunting or gathering. However, they are very helpful when food is scarce.
|
|
|
|
They allow man to be more stationary. This is consummate with a winter weather, in which man would rather stay with a fire than run around outside.
|
|
|
|
There are exceptions, but for Western man this is the case.
|
|
|
|
Even for nomadic man in the cold climate, he still must determine how to survive. He still must make clothes and shelter to protect him.
|
|
|
|
This ability to control territory gave rise to an ability to accumulate resources.
|
|
|
|
That is the birth of our society.
|
|
|
|
Over time, resources became more plentiful. Industrialization accelerated this.
|
|
|
|
The newfound offering of material wealth to peasants displaced the landed aristocracy.
|
|
|
|
Suddenly, men who did not receive their credentials from war or the land became powerful.
|
|
|
|
Our current decline, which began in the Enlightenment, is a phenomenon in which the peasants use kings as an excuse to gorge themselves. They use immoral kings as an excuse to abandon morality.
|
|
|
|
The result of this is that the civilization becomes weaker and weaker. Because all the people become weaker. |
