6:22-6:47 the difference between clearing out mold by scrubbing it with bleach vs. cultivating it as a bonsai.

Charles… damn.. it’s good to see you shifting from purely analytical work to constructive proposals. This is good. It’s really good to see constructive proposals after the last few years that have brought the decline of Conservative Inc, the disappearance of neoreaction, and the collapse of the alt right.

Charles is a brilliant man, those are pure reasonable and right-minded thoughts

Wow. Im not sure what to do with this, but interested. Im not nearly as read as you, so some of this isnt clear to me. But, I remember hearing you speak somewhere about your rate of book reading. I cant match that, but I can start now, and rapidly listen to your massive library of talks here, while im working. Ill revisit these once ive caught up, but a fraction lol 👏👏👏

If men aren't allowed to chose not to form families, how will monastics take their vows? Not being cheeky here, legit question. This sounds like a great place to live, a great alternative to what we have today. Is there a way to create this nation privately? If you could sell this idea to enough millionaires and billionaires, they could throw money behind building this somewhere from scratch.

If division of labor is a key to the industial revolution, requiring men and women (the most foundational division of aptitude) to be equal and interchangeable seems likely to be counterproductive.

Interesting pillars, and I see your logic here. Some particulars evade me though. For example, how is it this would be implemented outside major top-down central control? For example: "Men will not be permitted to choose not to have a family...without significant penalties", there necessarily will not be a 1:1 parity of the numbers of men and women able to pair up (i.e. 60% women to 40% men nationally, etc.). Shall there be a "forced" pairing up of couples, if so, how will that be determined? What of those unable to conceive, or are mentally deficient? Surely some of that will be solved via the Church locally, but as you mention, not all will be Christian, and that still doesn't address my other points. Another example, art and architecture. You say "design great architecture", and for the new elite to "exuberantly patronize high art", but how can their cooperation be insured? What prevents a foundationalist neo-Gates from funding neo-Pollacks? And will the new central government dictate central planning architectural guidelines to never be diverged from? Lastly, you say there needs to first be a collapse for this to be ushered in, to clarify, if that of just the US, or the West as a whole, or even the entire globe?

I think all in all what you say makes sense, I am simply failing to see how this would be practically implemented outside of the abstract.

it sounds to me like you've rediscovered fascism. I don't mean that as a slur
