The vast majority of our analytic efforts are geared towards cultural, political, and racial subjects. However effective our criticisms and polemicizing may be, we cannot be contented with this. The necessity of a positive vision remains. This is not the same as a "plan," like the ones discussed already in threads here and twitter. Rather, I am addressing the question of Worldview. What is real? What is good? These questions lie at the heart of our disputes amongst each other regarding any plans we make. If we do not take this seriously, then we should only expect to fail when it comes time to execute our plans.
It is therefore necessary that each man lay out an orderly account of the world. I am not the first one to suggest something along these lines. Rockies gets the credit for the title of this thread. He uses it as the title of an imagined retrospective memoir written after We Win. Lindy Observer (I am 99% sure it was him, but I cannot find the tweet now) has said that he plans to write a book along these lines eventually. This issue comes up peripherally in many of the other threads too. So far I have not seen anyone really make an attempt to tease out the core issues. This is my attempt.
Nietzsche was and is still the man of the hour. His thoughts regarding the topic of this thread are summed up nicely in this meme. To elaborate, the vast majority of philosophy and theology is ultimately absurd. Nevertheless, humans need a mythology to thrive just as much as they need water and air. Therefore, the men which understand this ought to come up with a mythology which they know is ultimately absurd, but will result have a net positive biological affect on the race and enforce it on the people.
I am guessing that most of that is not controversial among this crowd, but that seems to be at least partially driven by a lack of interest in some of the more radical philosophical implications of Nietzsche's comments.
What are your first principles?
Do you believe in grammar?
Do you believe in the laws of logic? (non-contradiction, excluded middle, and identity)
