from the last whitepill thread

>> No.16549212

is there a pessimistic whitepill? i don't think things will get better, or even worse, but that people simply will not change. no utopia is possible or even humane, peoples evil impulses will get stronger. all you can do is be kind in your life and thats enough

"Those who might be tempted to give way to despair should realise that nothing accomplished in this order can ever be lost, that confusion, error, and darkness can win the day only in appearance and in a purely ephemeral way, that all partial and transitory disequilibriums must perforce contribute toward the greater equilibrium of the whole, and that nothing can ultimately prevail against the power of truth..." (Rene Guenon, "The Crisis of the Modern World")

But what truth are we converging towards?

>> No.16549312

>>16549304
there is no convergence towards something, time is cyclical and circular, the truth always remains the truth regardless of the conditions of any one era
