few related thoughts I’ve been struggling to make cohere:

—“that vitality and not intellect or imagination is the most reliable measure of fitness,

Fitness for what? Do you mean physical fitness?

—“as the latter are ancillary to it and will inevitably exhaust themselves without it; “—

Physical fitness is reliably testable, although it is more important to not be unfit than it is to more than adequately fit.

Reproduction is the only reliable test of genetic fitness.

Eugenic reproduction is the only reliable test of the agency.

Caloric conversion is the only reliable test of group fitness.

So I don’t understand.

—“that attacks against vitality are therefore the greatest existential threat faced by the living, “—

I don’t have any idea what that means. If you mean sugar, corn syrup, carbs, no mandatory exercise in school that creates a life long habit, and no mandatory military service in exchange for retirement funds to maintain it. sure.

Otherwise, I don’t know what that means.

—“And so would form the nucleus of an optimally serviceable conception of Evil among the Life-affirming and productive, and of Good among the Life-denying and destructive; that escapist fantasies of non-biological/supernatural life are irreconcilable contradictions born and harbored in the minds of the maladapted and weak and thus rightly fearful, but overcome heroically by Western man; “–

I think you mean that to have great ambitions for great projects and to be aware of the condition of your people and to fight for it requires physical fitness?

I would buy that. True as far as I know.

—“that the high tragicomic works of Western Art represent the constituent elements of an adaptive, scalable native polytheistic religion, the central message of which is reducible to a single three-letter word- not GOD, but YES, in affirmation of the Good, the creative, the true, the beautiful, and the vital, but also of the Evil, the destructive, the false, the ugly, and the dying, with a sharp distinction nevertheless maintained between these two classes, the former recognized as the source of all Life, and the latter as the source and great revealer by way of contrast of Life’s value; “—

Ok , agreed if we have no aesthetic reprsentation of our heroism and our excellence and no inpsiration to match or exceed it then we can die off … yes.

—“that the focus and highest achievement of Western Art in the Modern Age was to celebrate the value and richness not of Life merely, but of the Living Moment at ever higher resolutions, just as it had celebrated and deified the individual living form in preceding ages;”—

I don’t think that’s true, and I’m pretty well versed in the arts across history. I can’t even think of where that idea would come from if it wasn’t the past century.

—“that the tendency of Western Art has been to judge the quality of Life higher than its quantity/duration,”–

That’s definitely not true. It’s to celebrate prosperity, plenty, excellence, beauty, heroism and most of all power. Even the submissive heroism of the devoted was for power.

—“the underlying assumption being that Life not valued is hardly worth living and is wasted regardless of duration; and that Western Art is strongly linked with the philosophy of hedonism and serves as a means of mediation and reconciliation between masculine and feminine biases.”—

Ok I can’t really figure that out, i think that the undermining by the jews, marxists, postmodernists is to destroy heroism and power, and willingness to defend that aesthetic.
