Θάρσει νûν, says Apollo to Hector in Book 15 of the Iliad. “Be now of good cheer, so mighty a helper has the son of Cronos sent out from Ida to stand by your side and protect you, Phoebus Apollo of the golden sword, who have long protected you, yourself and the steep citadel stament, Christ uses this same verb, θάρσειν (tharsein), six times: Matthew 9:2 & 9:22; Acts 23:11; Matthew 14:27; Mark 6:50; John 16:33. It also appears in Mark 10:49. It is usually translated as “take heart.”
In Dante’s Paradiso, the poet invokes Apollo at the outset of the heavenward journey, asking that he might prove worthy of the beloved laurel.
The Romans, who later adopted the Christian faith, believed themselves to be descended from the Trojans via Aeneas.

Go to any "selective" prestigious university, and you'll find the same thing. Cultural dead zone. Disgusting boba and ramen and pho everywhere. No late night coffee spots, no scene. Just dead eyed resume builders and spies jabbering in Mandarin
This deserted street is at the center of Boston University, which is supposed to have about 40 thousand students. Most are nowhere to be found.
The students you do see all look completely miserable. Everyone is foreign- not just in origin but in the world they inhabit. way- China, Valhalla, the moon, It wouldn’t matter. it’s not the phone that transports her, it’s her head that’s in the clouds. And she is all of us.
Decades ago, this part of campus had the best parties. Now, unfriendly strivers in fantasy worlds. A Tower of Babel, and the split is more than superficially linguistic

See here’s the thing Vivek, I would rather be a slave to some Chinaman in Giandong Province, toiling among the rocks of the terraced soy fields in the hills below the Three Gorges Dam, than ever act like such a Dalit striver as yourself.

Irish people pay taxes so their leaders can make ads about how hugging your grandkids (who are of course mixed race with arthoe piercings for some reason) is rape. Impossible to overstate how much every Western government needs to be totally purged and rebuilt from the ground up
The latest ad from the Irish Government to the Irish people, who are the font of all problems in the country and desperately need to be stopped from their bad behaviour.
This time, it's hugging your grandkids.

15 of 15 New York Social Adult Daycares audited yesterday showed no record of a single meal, activity, or hour of supervision — just attendance sheets.
These daycares are receiving millions from our Medicaid system and providing NOTHING in return —this is FRAUD!

Yes Sacha Baron Cohen really showed the “white male establishment” by pretending to be a low IQ chavwigger (ie black)
Ali G being "a white imbecile" is a way to mock the "predominantly white male establishment," Jewish actor Sacha Baron Cohen writes in his insufferably self-righteous cover story for Time Magazine.

On a related note, if schoolchildren are going to be taught about Ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia, then they should also be taught about the Yamnaya, Bell Beaker, and Corded Ware populations, whose culture and technological breakthroughs have had far more subsequent influence than those of either of those two places. But of course this would summon the spirit of Hitler so we can’t do that. The Greeks just spontaneously emerged in the works of Homer and then at Marathon, (essentially what we teach them now, at best.)
Underrated how much the invention of the chariot by the Sintashta people in 2000 BC in unlocked the AI revolution

Started "The Zizians" by @MrAndyNgo. Didn't quite know what to expect, but am overwhelmed by the depravity of what rationalistic altruism created. Our thinking culture has simply not thought enough of the damage John Rawls, John Nash, and Peter Singer have done.
