“noted American jurist Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. said that, to be safe, laws must be drafted with the “bad man” in mind, not the good.”

“Some people call reading an escape, but it's not - it's embracing the true reality of the best parts of who we are. It's not running away; it's running toward the thing we wish we could be, the thing we strive to be, the thing we never can be, but the thing which we always must try to become if we want to be something more than we are.”
― Sean Gibson

“The West is dying because of its cynicism, scepticism,
agnosticism, atheism, nihilism, liberalism, political correctness, scientific materialism and capitalism – which all go together as a dreadful, despairing, grim vision of a soulless universe devoid of any value and purpose whatsoever. The West is nothing but a “dark
Satanic mill”, as Blake put it.

As Nietzsche said, we must revalue all values. We can only beat mad religions by replacing them with better, more rational religions ... and that’s exactly what Illuminism provides.

The West will fail totally unless it can regain its spirit, and that means finding religion again, but this time Logos rather than Mythos religion. Forget the old Gods. Humans themselves are the new Gods ... if
they did but know it! Nietzsche said that God is dead. It’s time for him to be reincarnated ... in us!”
― Mike Hockney, The War of the Ghosts and Machines
