On etiquette:
Romanticism demands esotericism. It demands a break from the norm. Knights were romanticized because of their chivalry, what sorely lacked then - but it was a form of politeness. Most of the population was direct and vulgar. Chivalrous knights were subtle and meek. The knight has in contemporary times been replaced by the thug, the criminal. Why so?
It is Chivalry all the same; Chivalry of a different sort. Where before vulgarity were in abundance; now a covert, subversive, insidious politeness reign. Subtlety and avoidance reign supreme in the common man, and a direct approach to anything is shunned as "simple minded."
Find and extreact these wisdoms, to be subtle but also direct. To be polite, but also honest. To be a Knight - but also a peasant.Forwarded from Corpse World Monologues
On Osmosis and Cultural Influence:
It is said you are what you eat but most likely, you are who you eat with.
Many of you expect to find wives or husbands (for the women of this channel) who are immediately interested in the same things. That is not how it works. Cultural osmosis means that with time, the 2nd party, be they stronger or weaker, take up the traits and interests of the first.
This is why wives of blacksmiths know a lot about good steel, wives of barbers know a lot about patient care. Why queens can strategize and lead armies.
Help your spouse learn to love you.

On solving problems:
The propensity of contemporary man to discover new problems isn't due to some inherent evil, it is rather because of man's need to solve. Where problems lack, man will quickly create new ones out of thin air, for no other reason but to have something to solve, to have a purpose.Painting by Jules Breton
It is in the world without problems that man feels alienated the most.
On Steel and the Men within it:
Many in this World seek and secretly wish for the destruction of it; many who are envious of the strong. Yet it is the strong who always, without fail, wish to protect the World, rotten as it may be.Protect the strong against the weak.
Though it may be rotten it was given to us as its Jurors and Owners to cultivate it. Only those who are Men, truly Men and not unmen, can do so. This is why they often incur the wrath and envy of the weak.
On Sleight of Hand:
As the end of the astro turfed pandemic comes to a close, the ruling class is growing weary. They're sweating bullets. On one side, their voting base will not allow them to ease out of a pandemic - they're aware that not everyone is vaccinated. On the other side, the opposing tribe will celebrate victory; an end to a pandemic that they survived. So, what is to be done?Do not let them think that we forgot.
The situation in Ukraine is very much manufactured, if not locally then in the Media. Expect warmongering for the next month, and once the warmongering is done there will be not a single mention of the pandemic, ever again. Already the media is barren regarding c0v1d.
