    SHOCK AND CONFRONTATION AWARENESS

    by William L. Benge

    I’m not sure I would describe myself as one of the brightest. Having said that, I still was able to grasp at every point how **Curt is using shock value as a vehicle for confrontation.***

    Of course, I came to the table with an appreciation for these sorts of tools. So rather than be reactionary I found myself aware of the context, discerned the utility in the tactic, and, not seeing need to emote, continued contemplating the content.

    Western adult males cannot be coddled and if the few feel entitled to naps and safe spaces, you can be assured no one here is going to accommodate that.

    Will we eventually drop the shock and awe tactic? Of course. But tthink of it in terms of a test of sincerity for the time being.

    You see, I did pass that test. I asked no one to lower standards in my behalf. But perhaps I am unduly advantaged. You see, I inherited my western ethos from my father, as he did his. I simply come from stock who are strong and willing to tough it out, prove themselves and fight their way through. This do or die persistence, selflessness, cannot help but always prevail to some gain, because it is evidence by action of a man’s fitness for the times, for this time or anytime.

    Can we say the same for those who await coddling and softness?

    WHY DO YOU NEED TO LIE?

    You have to falsify the argument that under the real, ideal, and supernatural orders, the ‘real’ has provided our ascent out of ignorance and poverty – and rapidly – while the ideal and the supernatural have provided either stagnation or regression.

    You have to falsify the argument that western people (which you always conflate to your argumentative advantage without separating the western from the indian, iranian, west-asian) and you can’t seem to identify the very obvious differnce between gods subject to the universe, and gods holding dominion over the universe. THere is NO ORIGIN MYTH per se in the west. There is not a good and evil – only a dysfunctional family of gods and heroes. There is no ideal, only the real. By the time we find rome, there are no ‘priests’ per se, but all aristocracy practices the rituals.

    We still carry the three traditions: real (roman/european), ideal (greek), and supernatural (semitic/persian). And we still practice all three semantic languages. Just as we have practiced three semantic languages in english (anglo saxon, french, and latin).

    No other civilization has done what the west has done common law > reason > philosophy > science. And no other civilization has done what the middle eastern has done: abrahamism > marxism > libertarianism > neo conservativsm > postmodernism.

    Period.

    So you can again, try another lie, (there are at least three in most of your posts) suggestion that the west is perfect, rather than that the result of the western exceptionalism in military orders was dependent upon voluntary orders, which was dependent upon contractualism, all of which were dependent upon truth, and that western civ, like all other civ’s, Anchored on those basic rules of order, just as ever other civlization anchored on those rules of order in the era of Transformation (See Armstrong).

    All you do is engage in lie, disapproval, gossip, shaming, and ridicule in order to preserve your bias in favor of lying. The question is – why do you need to lie?

    The evidence is the evidence. The greatest man to ever live was Aristotle. And the greeks produced socrates, plato and aristotle just as the germans produced mozart, bach, and beethoven, and the english produced locke, smith, and hume: becasue the evidence is that it takes a very long time over multiple generations to produce an innovator of that scale. (See Murray).

    And the reason Aristotle was the greatest man that ever lived is because he synthesized all fields, and mapped out the future of truth for us to follow, and laid enough of a foundation that we have all built upon it.

    Why did he, plato, and socrates do that? Because the old habits had been destroyed by the consequences of democracy, and her great days were behind her.

    Whereas lies enable conflation, truth provides deflation.

    Where democracy creates lies, law creates truth.
