A book to let you know you’re not alone: the wisdom of the ages can guide us through the struggles of the present. The fate of our civilization depends on whether ordinary people internalize the truth and beauty conveyed in the masterpieces of Western culture. Spencer Klavan, classicist and podcaster, defends that culture and explains why and how we must hand it on to the next generation.
It has been proclaimed many times, but perhaps never more convincingly than now, when every news cycle seems to deliver further confirmation of a world gone mad.
Is this the endgame? Have we come to closing time in the West?
Author Spencer Klavan is a classicist, with a Ph.D. from Oxford, and a deep understanding of the West. His analysis: The situation is dire. But every crisis we face today, we have faced before. And we can surmount each one. Today’s “five essential crises” are:
• The Crisis of Reality: Is there such a thing as objective truth—and even if there is, can “virtual reality” replace it?
• The Crisis of the Body: Not just the “transgender” insanity, but the push for a “transhumanist” future
• The Crisis of Meaning: Evolution—both biological and cultural—is a process of endless replication, of copying. But is there an original model that gives us an aspiration to aim for? Do our lives and actions have meaning?
• The Crisis of Religion: Science has not eliminated man’s religious impulse, but rather misdirected it—and wrongly dismissed the profound philosophical plausibility of Judeo-Christian revelation.
• The Crisis of the Regime: Has America reached a point of inevitable collapse? Republican government was meant to end the destructive cycle of regimes rising and falling—but can it?
Klavan brings to the West’s defense the insights of Plato, Aristotle, the Bible, and the Founding Fathers to show that in the wisdom of the past lies hope for the future. That wisdom can improve our own lives and the lives of those around us—and ultimately save the West.

Banks carshing. Obviously we need the Wall-E future where robots and drones feed us til we pop, and I have heard that mentioned seriously.

Apparently, Black Lives Matter and Me Too movements are Nazi/Fascist/Stalinists because saying ‘elevate black voices’ or ‘believe women’ is a demand that one’s “personal outlook be accepted as the baseline reality against which all other claims should be judged”.
And then I belatedly realize the book was uploaded by rmoor. But of course.

Yes because women can’t lie and BLM’s founders aren’t communists who’s stated goals have nothing to do with black people but rather to destroy capitalism and the nuclear family. BLM aren’t even as smart as the Nazi’s or Commies.

An intellectual white supremacist. The dog whistles get through to his audience though, see above comments.

Supposedly “BLM’s founders” (whatever that is supposed to mean) are both communists but at the same time they’re “aren’t even as smart as the Commies”. The doublethink is strong here.

> Is there such a thing as objective truth—
Yes. If you fall out of a window at height h metres, you will hit the ground at roughly sgrt(19.6 x h) metres per second.
> and even if there is, can “virtual reality” replace it?
No. If h is big enough it will hurt, for real. If it’s even bigger, you won’t feel a thing.

“granular” (above) is using the classic “Motte & Baily” fallacy/trickery.
BLM and Antifa aren’t about that at all, and they know it. They’re hiding in the Motte. People now understand the Bailey.
Such a pathological level of dishonesty and gaslighting is really boring now. But it is a useful indicator for identifying people who are not to be trusted. Saying obviously stupid and false crap like that just marks you with a red flag.

If there are woke folks hissing in the comments, you know it must be a good book. Lol.
Thanks for sharing!
