First English translation of Gottfried Benn’s The Doric World (1934), in which Benn offers a deep aesthetic and historical study of Dorian and Spartan cultures and frames a vision of German renewal through their ideals. Link in the first reply to this post.
Gottfried Benn recounts events that illustrate the view Dorian Greeks such as the Spartans and Argives had of the body: “Doric means the physique, but the active physique: the physique of muscles, of male flesh, of the body itself. The body tanned by the sun, hardened by dust, scraped by the strigil, cooled by cold baths, accustomed to wind, mature and already toned. Every muscle, the kneecap, the joints were treated, aligned, and integrated into each other. The whole form was martial in character, yet highly refined. The gymnasiums were the schools where this ideal took shape, and from there it spread throughout Greece. Plato, Chrysippus, and the poet Timocreon had all first been wrestlers. Pythagoras was reputed to have won the prize in boxing. Euripides was crowned for wrestling at Eleusis. The body served as proof of servitude or of rank. Agesilaus, the great Spartan, once had the captured Persians stripped in front of his soldiers to encourage them. When the Greeks saw the pale, flaccid flesh of their enemies, they began to laugh and advanced with renewed contempt. Throughout Hellas, the Dorian seed: beautiful bodies. Every festival of the gods, every major celebration included a beauty contest. Even elderly men were chosen for their beauty to carry branches at the Panathenaea. In Elis, the most handsome men were selected to bring offerings to the goddess. As for great bodies: in Sparta, during the Gymnopaedia, generals and renowned men who lacked sufficient height or outward nobility were assigned to the secondary rows of the chorus. The Lacedaemonians, according to Theophrastus, fined their king Archidamus for marrying a short woman, arguing that she would bear him not kings but puppet kings. A Persian, a relative of Xerxes and the tallest man in the army, was worshipped as a demigod after dying in Greece. Among the wrestlers celebrated by Pindar were giants: one carried a bull on his shoulders, another held back a moving chariot, another threw a discus weighing eight pounds to a distance of ninety-five feet. Their home cities recorded such feats on statues of honor and remembrance. These were bodies for breeding. The law determined the age for marriage and selected the most favorable time and conditions for conception. They proceeded as horse breeders might. Malformed offspring were discarded. The body served many ends: for war, for festival, for vice, and, finally, for art. That was the Dorian seed, and it became the history of Hellas.” This is an excerpt from Benn’s 1934 essay “Dorische Welt” (“The Doric World”), translated by me.

Hello everyone, so, to the elephant in the room! A couple days ago whilst I was in the process of moving house I quickly checked my phone and saw that my account had been banned for ‘Hate Speech’. Previously all of my videos had been manually reviewed by YouTube and accepted for full monetization. It certainly wasn’t a particular video, and more than likely it was either a spur of the moment employee thing like has happened with some right wing figures on X recently or it was a well thought out political decision, presumably the latter. Either way, I have appealed but find it unlikely that anything will come of it. I’m not silly and obviously I knew I was in somewhat controversial waters, but that doesn’t make it any less annoying. It is, of course, a gigantic hit to me and my young family given that YouTube was my job for the past 2 and a half years, based my life around it and spent about ten hours a day doing it. I even have about 5 years’ worth of books here for all of my future videos and I was just about to hit 270,000 subscribers and obviously, as you’ll know from my lore, I had grown up always wanting to be a YouTuber and it was an absolute pleasure to do it. I loved it and I don’t have a bad word to say about YouTube and even if they don’t have me back on now, I hope they will one day when there is less censorship pressure. Anyway, presuming that my appeal will be denied, I will be carrying on and relocating to Rumble where I’ll be uploading a few of my old videos a day before posting my new ones. I will also, starting next week I reckon, begin streaming twice a week and writing regular substack articles. I am fully aware that going forwards things will be hard and I will need to be far more reliant on your extremely kind donations and subscriptions now in order to survive but already, without me even saying anything or making a statement yet, I’ve been blown away by the support in the past few days. If you have enjoyed my content in the past and have ever thought out becoming a member or donating then please do take a look at the post below, to be completely honest I need it right now and I can’t put how much I appreciate it into words. But yes, TL:DR, I will be continuing on Rumble, uploading all of my old videos (yes, to all of the 100s of messages, I still have them!), streaming twice a week and writing regularly on substack. Thank you to everyone who has supported me so far, it’s been quite a journey, and hello to those of you doing a victory lap right now, I don’t blame you! Please feel free to get in all of your abuse below, it’s part of the game.

Fertility is collapsing all around the world, not just in the developed West: - Mexico now has lower fertility than the US (even non-Hispanic whites!). - Arab-Israeli fertility is now lower than that of Jewish Israelis. - For first time in 200 years, rich people are having MORE kids than poor. Economist Jesús Fernández-Villaverde (@JesusFerna7026) sat down with me and @pietergaricano to talk about the economics of the fertility collapse, why education can be such a curse for birth rates, why the collapse is happening almost as much in the Muslim and developing worlds as in the rich world, and why so many attempts to address it fail. We also discuss 'no regrets' policies that could help: clearer data for students about the value (or not) of college degrees; lotteries for admissions to the top universities; subsidies for third or fourth children; and, of course, bigger, nicer and more plentiful housing.

"Should you be allowed to make an anti-Semitic remark? Yes, because some anti-Semitism is justified. Just like some anti-Irish feeling is justified. If you can't be criticized, that's very dangerous." — James Watson

Watson was a racist who, "near the end of his life, faced condemnation and professional censure for offensive remarks, including saying Black people are less intelligent than white people" apnews.com/article/james-wat…

One morning around four or five years ago, I got a phone call from James Watson. I was startled. I had met him only once, at a conference at Cold Spring Harbor in the mid-1990s and we hadn't been in touch since. I can remember few details, but I do remember that the call lasted for at least twenty minutes and that I soon realized that my job was to listen. James Watson needed a sympathetic ear. Perhaps he saw me as someone who had experienced on a far smaller scale something similar to what he had experienced. Perhaps he figured (correctly) that I would agree with what pained him the most: He hadn't done anything wrong. He had spoken candidly about his assessment of the evidence regarding the B/W difference in IQ. His conclusion that genetics were part of the story was shared by the majority of specialists in IQ. And yet his professional career and reputation had been devastated. He wanted to live long enough for his remarks to be vindicated. I do remember reminding him of some good news. Since the genome had been sequenced, it had been established that evolutionary change had taken place after the dispersal from Africa and that the change had been mostly local, not shared across continents. The genetic evidence from GWAS studies had already found ubiquitous population differences across all the races, including variants associated with cognition. Vindication would come. But I got no sense that I had done anything to ease his anguish. Now he is dead. In a half century, his reputation as one of history's great biologists will have been restored. People will know that he had the misfortune to reach old age in an era when the academy was lunatic. I hope he realized that before the end.
Interesting. When kings like Charles III of Spain, Catherine II of Russia, or the Habsburgs invited large populations to settle in Spain, the Volga, or the Danube, they did not bring “Christian” Amerindians, easterners, or other non-European colonial subjects. Yet conservatives who promote immigration and multiculturalism under a "trad" veneer insist that the "sin of racism" was invented by the pagan Hitler, the Anglo-Saxons, "o algo," and we have to welcome not only the Amerindians, but also the hindoos and Africans.

Colonists were brought by adventurer Kaspar of Thürriegel and given land. They came from Baden, Württemberg, the Palatinate, Mainz, Trier, Alsace, Lorraine, Switzerland, and Flanders. He also created our flag, rebuilt our cities and expelled the Jesuits. The last great King.

If you stare too long at this map you go insane.
The World Food Programme says it feeds the majority of the 35M people in Yemen. Meanwhile, Yemen has more babies per year than Japan, Russia, or Germany. This seems a bit irresponsible.
