"Any power struggle is preceded by a verification of images and iconoclasm. This is why we need poets– they initiate the overthrow" Ernst Jünger, Forest Passage
Like the smell of old books? A chemical analysis found the paper breaks down into chemicals that emit smells similar to vanilla and grass. Smelling an old book elicits the same memory response of having been in a story as a memory of being in a field or smelling something from
“Steve Sailer says that blue-eyed guys tend to be more cold-blooded, less excitable, less quick to decide upon fight or flight reactions than brown-eyed guys, which is advantageous at quarterback but not at most other football positions, so Travis’ brown eyes are actually a plus”
Reading in the Digital Age: Books Vs. Screens.
Have you ever read a something on a screen and come away feeling like you couldn’t remember anything? There’s a neurological reason for that.
Your brain processes text on screens differently than paper, resulting in disparate

“The US military tests for IQ?”
“Yes, they’ve found IQ correlates with future performance. Units with an average IQ of 110 fix jet engines faster, and shoot themselves less often, than units with sub-90 IQ. In fact, IQ correlates with actual behavior over and over…”

Today we are thrilled to announce our new imprint, Passage Classics, and the acquisition of the Mystery Grove catalog. This includes all of Mystery Grove's bestselling titles such as Always With Honor, Storm of Steel, Mine Were of Trouble and many others.
I've read through the article. A few pages anyway.
Please carefully consider what I have to say: you should not be writing. This is not good. This is, in fact, very very bad.
I am tempted to believe this

Many are asking... No, we did not pay Will Stancil to run a guerilla marketing campaign for Noticing by Steve Sailer.
But we thank him for his efforts.
In honor of his heroic efforts the last few days, for a limited time only you can get free shipping on the paperback of Noticing by Steve Sailer by typing in the promo code STANCIL at checkout
Moldbug claims in the Open Letter that the concept of IQ is sacrilegious, and that the Cathedral holds its belief in Human Neurological Uniformity (HNU) as absolute. He frames the IQ “debate” as a theological dispute
Sydney Sweeney reads from Nick Land’s Xenosystems, now available for pre-order from Passage Press:
“We are a minuscule sample of agonized matter, comprising genetic survival monsters, fished from a cosmic ocean of vile mutants by a pitiless killing machine of infinite appetite”
DEAR CUSTOMERS: we have received multiple complaints that our Xensosystems hats are "too small."
However, our manufacturer confirmed the hat blanks are "standard" size.
The problem is that Xenosystems readers have exceptionally large heads.
Make of this fact what you will.

Thusly Nicky Land characterizes Accelerationism. But what is deterritorialization, and what does it look like?
Land himself elaborates: “A negative feedback circuit – such as a steam-engine

Journalists can buy a ticket like anyone else. They will discover a room full of normal people, discussing normal topics, and enjoying Steve's avuncular wit.
Most terrifying of all, they might even discover a renewed interest in the free and open exchange of ideas.

Moldbug’s Political Theology:
The framework for Moldbugs philosophy can be found in Carl Schmitt’s book “Political Theology.” Many of the key concepts therein inform Moldbug’s perspective. We may even call Moldbug an updating of Schmitt, applied to American politics 🧵
This is another often ignored factor in why book sales are declining among men: Cover art.
Publishing started swapping out flashy, splashy covers for generic ones, to cut costs, and because focus groups claimed it made books appeal more to female readers.
