At the beginning of the month, I unsubscribed from all political channels except Roosh's, Forney's, Aurini's and one or two others.

< Frankly - you don't even have to check the news to get your politics.

Listen to Alan Watt's show on cuttingthroughthematrix.com - especially if you have read Carroll Quigley, Reece Foundation docs, Antony Sutton, then some predictive programming content as shown by Charles Galton Darwin, Orwell and Huxley, then you are golden.

The rest is just running through the big plan with some added bonus points that you were not in on of course - like the increase of mass migration or the transgender push. But everything else is progressing nicely for the globalists.

[GreenManaleshi]

I also try to keep my political subs to a minimum on YouTube. About the only two left I routinely watch are Sargon of Akkad and Black Pidgeon.

As I get older, I feel more and more detached, and I find myself feeling heavily nostalgic and looking backwards. I'm 50, and it feels like I'm living in a parallel world lol. I drive around and listen to mostly 70s and 80s music. Rewatch old movies and TV again and again. All my cultural touchstones are fading from the world it seems. Young people stare at me with confused looks on their face when I casually mention cultural references "everyone" knew when I was younger.

In a lot of ways, it feels like I'm taking crazy pills with all this SJW bullshit and what not. My tolerance for political news shows on TV has dropped to zero. What I grew up with as normal self-evident common sense is now seen as radical Nazism by far too many millennial dumbshits who rot their brains on Facebook and Twitter all day. No fucking way would I last a week on most college campuses. I'm grateful I went to high school and college when I did.

As far as culture goes, seems all things I loved as a kid are being remade, rehashed, neutered, infused with leftist politics, etc. I suppose every generation goes through these changes, but it's weird to witness the mainstream world transforming into "history" as new things become popular and mainstream. But I can't help but feel most of it is shit. TV is really good these days, and all the Marvel movies are something I never thought I'd see growing up, but I be happy to see this gutting of my youth finally burn itself out.

And that's really all they have nowadays. At the gym I am constantly forced to hear bad remakes of old 70s, 80s, and 90s songs. Feels like real pop music somehow stopped in 2000 and now it's just a never ending cycle of rehashing old material. And for good reason I may add: The current political climate does not foster or even encourage original thought and combined with the willful destruction of art, music, and architecture what remains is nothing but vapid ephemeral crap devoid of any soul or meaning.

I was at a Starbucks and they were playing a James Taylor song. I told the barista I hated James Taylor, she was like twenty, and she said, "I love James Taylor."

First off, my parents listened to James Taylor. How does she even know who he is? Shouldn't someone have supplanted him by now for younger people?

She stared at me like she couldn't believe I hated James Taylor, and I said to her, "Yeah, but you haven't been listening to the same three James Taylor songs for 40 years either."

Ok, did it, deleted most of my Youtube subscriptions, over 200. A lot of the channels had already been deleted, many more were political, conspiracy, manosphere channels that were useful once, but won't be missed.

Down to about 20, and trying to keep it mainly to hobbies, music, spiritual, funny type channels.

Felt good deleting one after the other and feeling nothing.

Noticing how negative a lot of the Youtube channels were, or subscribed to just to laugh at the people, or subscribed to channels where I found the person's demeanor objectionable despite the useful content.

Got rid of any total time waster channels that are related to internet gossip, blood sports, any of that.

Feels good, I feel lighter all ready.

Facebook is next. I looked over all the people I followed and felt like I could delete most of them and keep in touch with the ones that mattered in another way.

[nomadbrah]

It's not the Youtube channels that will fuck your mood up people. Don't listen to the radical centrists.

It's the cancer in the mainstream art and media. I know people get really angry when I say this. When you're watching modern cinema, series or documentaties, you are being force fed trannies, marxism and anti-white propaganda.

"It's not so bad, there was only one tranny"

"Ah ok, maybe the vikings weren't black and maybe women weren't fighters, but it is still ok"

Sure, whatever fits you.

Just don't scream at people who let you know, that you're being indoctrinated by people who hate you. I know it's tough to give it up. That's why they do it. Again, if you feel entertained and not bothered by "strong lesbian minority woman who don't need no white man", then go for it.

Don't shoot the messenger.

Am I allowed to not want to watch blatant and hateful cultural marxist propaganda or am I a despicable person who should clean my room? I can't keep up with radical centrism.

As for me, I am trying to stick to pre-1994 cultural production. Some throwbacks are ok, like Retrowave when I am lifting. Presently I have discovered pre-WW2 literature.

I am currently reading "The Lost World" by theosophist famous author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

Here is one of the first paragraphs of the book:

Quote:

She sat with that proud, delicate profile of hers outlined against the red curtain. How beautiful she was! And yet how aloof! We had been friends, quite good friends; but never could I get beyond the same comradeship which I might have established with one of my fellow-reporters upon the Gazette,—perfectly frank, perfectly kindly, and perfectly unsexual. My instincts are all against a woman being too frank and at her ease with me. It is no compliment to a man. Where the real sex feeling begins, timidity and distrust are its companions, heritage from old wicked days when love and violence went often hand in hand. The bent head, the averted eye, the faltering voice, the wincing figure—these, and not the unshrinking gaze and frank reply, are the true signals of passion. Even in my short life I had learned as much as that—or had inherited it in that race memory which we call instinct.

Don't hate me for thinking this is what we should be reading again?

Fantastic points, but are you certain that you don't need Jordan Peterson to tell you how to wipe your arse and put on your trousers?

Because if you say no, you'll need to be send to the gulag for some self authoring and that's no joke.

Who can forget such haunting lines such as:
"There is a thin line between diarrhoea and solid stools that runs down through the centre of every human's magnesium and potassium balance."

"Be careful not to stare too long into the toilet bowel, because what's in the abyss will stare back. And what is that stares back? Well it depends on your definition of shit..."

"Speak the truth to the plumber and he'll find a way, god our society is a miracle when you think about it and we're so bloody ungrateful"

[Simeon_Strangelight]

Nomadbrah says how it is.

The argument that it's not so bad is very disconcerting.

Let us look at a movie like Black Panther - most of the time it was just the usual moronic action flic. But then you had the few moments barking at colonizer, forbidding White men to speak, claiming that Whites "stole it all" from the noble blacks and the subsequent underlying realization that if the colonizers did not came to Africa around 1850-1875, then they all would have had spaceships despite not even having a wheel in most cases.

Nah - propaganda in entertainment is even more toxic, because it bypasses the conscious awareness and lodges into you.

The same goes for academia, because their crap comes with the shine of respectability - see it's peer reviewed! Nah it's not bitch! They have entire courses like gender studies out there which are compriesed of 100% fake studies based on cultural marxism. In addition you have huge fields of research that scientists must not go into or they get banned. When nobel price winners claim somehow that women are less able/interested in STEM, then they are fired. The same happened to scientists who co-created the concept of the DNA and who claimed that races/human tribes also evolved differently intellectually. No sir - he did not say that! Fired! Racist!

Both academia as well as entertainment are highly toxic in our times. Youtube and the alternatives are actually far more closer to a free exchange of ideas - even while the globalists are doing their best to de-monetize and ban it all.

I refuse to even look at it sometimes and when I do its out of curiosity as to where the mainstream narrative is. For the UK it would be knife crime, anti-semitism, child refugees, murder-rape of women and children and what the government, social services and the police are up to to name but a few.

They are always filling the airways with lies and half truths so its best to not get too involved and wound up inside. You can't stop it really and reminds me of a certain Disturbed music video where the family at the start become inhuman after absorbing the evil being broadcast to them.

[uncledick]

Nomadbrah has got it absolutely right, youtube, if anything is a balance to our present pop-cultural depravity. The shit thats actually melting your brains is on the radio, tv, the cinemas, and almost everything written since the mid 60s, ficton or non fictionwise that deals with soceital issues. But hey, that isnt easy to give up eh, not like canceling various youtube subsrictions that increase your blood pressure because they detail certain truths.

I hope individuals like Peterson begin to rail against modern entertainment, as its certainly one of biggest heads on the postmodernist marxist snake.

Definitely, there's a thread-worthy topic in your post. Think of influential bands or artists...they just don't happen anymore. I don't think I listen to anything genuinely breaking new territory that's been made since perhaps the late 90s (and that's being generous to Eminem). Millennials were the first generation to actually agree with the status quo.

If the Sex Pistols came out now, the teenagers would no platform them and call them nazis. I mean, university students call Jordan Peterson a nazi. Well, they think the original Sex Pistols are Nazis because John Lydon came out in support of Brexit and Trump.

Very, very shit being a teenager these days, there's no rebellious spirit, just Fortnight, sanitised sport, and internet porn ... and that's for the apolitical ones. People say Generation Z are going to be conservative... they might not be SJWs, but what I see from extended family is apathy. Complete apathy.

[nomadbrah]

I didn't get that idea.

I don't know what you guys are watching on Youtube. I don't watch the political stuff. I watch benign stuff like "womens beach volley argentina" or "why you shouldn't buy real estate in thailand". As far as I'm concerned, Youtube is an excellent place for media, but you got to know where to dig.

I think the real issue is not feeling represented in mainstream media. It can give a really nagging unpleasent feeling. Like you're being unpersoned.

Don't fight it, feel it! You are getting older brother. It comes to all men. Well, the lucky ones anyway.

I don't want to be that 'Dad' trying to appear cool and down with the kids. But it's difficult when you work in the field of music and the 'arts'. I hope I get around it by not actually giving a shit what the kids think of me, but at the same time playing a kind of elder statesman, offering advice and mentoring. Maybe that is somewhat grandiose of me. But it's better than trying to be 'hip' or 'still relevant'. Fuck 'em.

You are generation X. Your generation, and your time while you were in your prime was experiencing all the great music they made. And they did. But you are getting older, as I and many others are and the cultural sands are shifting. They wait for no man.

Exactly. It all ended in the 21st Century. Not a single genre of music 'invented' since then. By the end of the 20th Century new genres and movements were being made every few years. That hasn't happened for some time now.

You make two other excellent points.

The music today is a re-hash of what sells, what 'works'. What is proven. Nothing new remember? Just tried and trusted formula. Name me one genre of music invented in the 20th Century. You can't.

When Punk came along, the dinosaurs of the day like Genesis and Pink Floyd (and they are on record saying this) were shitting themselves. Their arguments were pretty much one and the same: Jesus, we are buried, the kids don't want to listen to our poncey 20 minute keyboard solos in G#minor, they just want to spike their hair and gob on each other while listening to that 3-Chord-Trick that Chuck Berry invented! It's an outrage! No, it's worse than an outrage, the kids don't want to listen to our music anymore and they will stop buying our records and coming to our concerts.

Which they did to a certain extent. They knew it would be laughable to die their hair pink and wear safety pins through their noses (maybe, just maybe, Davide Bowie could have got away with that, but he went a totally different direction. He was proto-punk anyway in some of his styles). So they were a bit fucked. Ironically, they never stopped selling albums and selling out concerts, they had a bit of a dip for sure, but it wasn't the great death they had envisioned. Who's ever heard of The UK Subs or Sham 69 these days? Oh, a few, but how many records have they sold?

The point is, they knew they were getting old. Just like I know I'm getting old. Like anyone with half a brain realises when they hit this point in life. Don't fight it, feel it. It's ok.

Today, I don't feel outclassed or intimidated by the kids making music. I just get fucking annoyed when they stole the music that I and my generation made, and claimed as their own. It's galling. Brb, got to take a blood pressure tablet. Ah.. better now. Where was I? Oh yeah, the kids.

This I can let go. It's frustrating, but c'est la guerre mon petit amis!

And now your second point. This is where it becomes downright sinister and we enter full on conspiracy mode.

Look, I get it that everyone is out for themselves and even the hippies and the boomers only took everything that was dear and sacred and bottled it and sold it back to us. For profit, more than fun, most the time. People are mercenary. That's ok.

What is not ok is the full-scale destruction of meaningful artifacts such as music and art and architecture, just to mirror the three important ones you mentioned red pillage.

First, music. Does anyone find it in anyway suspicious that someone that looks like a cock-eyed ginger pervert (you know who I'm referring to already don't you?) is mentioned 4 fucking times a day in the Daily Mail? He's on the BBC 2 times a day. The indy, The Gruaniad absolutely love him to bits dahling. Spare me! For every decent article I see on current/foreign affairs, I have to wade through about 6 about that cock-eyed ginger fucking pervert. His music is shit too. It's a psy-op.

The powers that be can not allow music to take a hold. It's the most important thing known to man next to food. Musicians are the new priests, and psychologists are the new rock-stars. That's something I've been meaning to write about for a while now. But I'll leave it there. There's a reason why the drummer boy and the pipe player lead the charge in to battle. It's rousing. Music also comforts us, and enlightens us. And they can't make it illegal like drugs. So they just found another way to destroy it.

They totally killed of the pub music scene in this country with stupid fucking laws. It even hit the pubs hard and they lost money. That and the smoking ban (I'm very anti-smoking btw, but let's not get in to that here). So they had to cater to people who had the money to buy food. And a new generation of corner-store alcoholics was born (hi-hi). Disenfranchised, alienated from the wider culture.

The music biz is a small world when you get to the top. They don't care if they make 30million a month from the cock-eyed ginger pervert's franchise, or a hundred 'punk' bands. In fact, the cock-eyed ginger pervert is easier to control. He can't believe his luck. "What, how did I get here?"

It's not by accident, it's by design.

Ditto the art world and all that sail in her and her rotten sunken ship.

The biggest crime against humanity though has been the architecture. It's one of my hobbies (Architectural visualisation) that I like to mess with when doing a bit of 3D. I appreciate good architecture. I also hate having to live in a box. We are reflections of our environment.

So yeah, dumbed down, sometimes outright destroyed, usurped, hi-jacked. All in the name of higher control of the vibrational energies present in all humans.

What is allowed is what sells. What can be bottled. Nothing too offensive. Just subversive enough, but not obviously so. Duh!

So yes, we are getting old. Gracefully, disgracefully. Whatever. But there is no doubt there has been a willful campaign from a war room somewhere to break people's spirits, all the while without them knowing they are broken. It's very Brave New World. It's very 1984. It's a bit Animal Farm. It's probably some other things as well.

Welcome to the 21st Century Dystopia kids! It's happening. Whether you like it or not. Whether you realise it or not. We are just merely noting this and voicing our frustration at things. It could have all been so much more. The music, the art, the architecture.

Damn, and now I'm getting old, and the best years of my life have passed. But that one is on me. You see, you can take personal responsibility, whilst at the same time taking an interest in the environment and the world around you. I want to see society succeed - I don't want to see it burn. Even if I fucked up so bad, for my own reasons, I still want to see other people not just happy, but thriving. It's an anti-dote to not becoming a bitter old cunt. The male equivalent to a cat lady.

And I don't want to become one of those boring old fart youtubers making videos about why 'the guitar is not dead', 'rock and roll is not dead' - yes it is grandad - fuck off. And don't call me a bitter old cunt when I'm just observing reality, and I make better music than you ever will in a million years. They talk a good fight, but can they walk it?

Which leads me on to say, I want to set some new things up. I want to make a change. I want to make a difference. I've been called out before on this very forum for making such statements, so let me up the ante a bit again. First, I apologize for coming across as a bit of an arsehole. I am. But if you can take the rough with the smooth with me, then you will get a bit of smooth eventually.

I've been working on a datasheet to set up some kind of music university here at RVF. Yeah, big ambitious project. I'll outline it elsewhere. I've been working on it for a while now. This post is already too long. Maybe I'll put a teaser up at 'everything else' in a bit describing it in a bit more detail, perhaps even getting some preliminary feedback.

Remember before when Trump was just getting elected? And everyone was saying how the right needed to start creating its own media. Well that never really happened. Not in earnest anyway. Not even in jest, it would seem. That needs to change. I'm not actually right wing, but like others such as AB have noted, it's virtually fucking impossible to play in the waters of the music 'industry' these days without having to bite your lip so hard it bleeds. All the while, they just assume that you are one of 'them'. And you have to listen to their pissy little jokes and tolerate the fucking bores. And now their music is boring too.

I know this will resonate with a lot of you (not just those that posted in this thread), but even those that have been mentioned in this thread. I'll try to get to that in a bit.

[debeguiled]

So, I am looking for new more positive content on Youtube, and came across this video. This will tie in to what Rigsby says about architecture.

A German dude goes to Japan, falls in love with the architecture, and convinces a whole Japanese town to rediscover their vernacular architectural heritage.

Weird and inspiring at the same time.

[Rigsby]

Still got a couple of things to say on the subject. I might have drifted a bit there.

You know, I've not unsubbed anyone. Well, maybe, now and again. But youtube is doing a good enough job of that for me already. They went through and deleted every single fucking sub from my Narc Therapy and Psych Therapy community. Everyone. Uncanny. They left up moly and styx though.

As for Roosh and Forney and Aurini, well, I hope they don't take this the wrong way. But I don't see them as so much 'politics' in the first place. I see them as 'entertainment', maybe 'infotainment' would be a better description. Sure they are serious about what they do, it's from the heart, but they don't have the schmalz and the schmooze to be would be politicians. They are just enough under the radar (whilst having an eye kept on them) to speak their minds for the moment. So they have value. They don't have to pander. And that is entertaining, sorry, infotaining to me. Plus I find them funny. They make me laugh. I like them. I know for a fact I could go for a beer with them. And I think they'd probably tolerate me and be much more polite than all the other rock-star youtubers.

Also, if you follow the chans at all, well, I think I mentioned before that while this forum gets a certain amount of flak, I guess we are tolerated to an extent as well. And Aurini in particular does seem to get a lot of begrudging respect from them because a lot of what he says can not be argued against. Also, not many other people are saying what he is saying.

I certainly don't look to any of them for news or for views or whatever. We already share a lot of that anyway. Believe me, it's nice to tune in to people that can make you laugh sometimes. These guys are serious, but they don't have a fucking rod up their jacksy and one eye on their youtube stats. I also think they realise the way the wind is blowing. If it all ended tomorrow on youtube, there would be plans in place.

I was at a Starbucks and they were playing a James Taylor song. I told the barista I hated James Taylor, she was like twenty, and she said, "I love James Taylor."

First off, my parents listened to James Taylor. How does she even know who he is? Shouldn't someone have supplanted him by now for younger people?

She stared at me like she couldn't believe I hated James Taylor, and I said to her, "Yeah, but you haven't been listening to the same three James Taylor songs for 40 years either."

I'm a massive James Taylor fan.

But like you say, 40 fucking years!

But spare a thought for the man himself. He's been playing those same fucking tunes for 40 years himself! Imagine how he feels. He must be loopy by now. It's not so bad.

(If James Taylor has written any 'new' songs in the interim, please let me know - I'm all ears)

Anyway, poor game spotted. You missed a trick here. The correct reply should have been:

"Oh, Jimmy, sooory, 'James', I forget that that's what everyone else calls him - yes, 'James', I still have the first pre-release demo of Fire and Rain that got him his first record deal"

Then as she stares at you all starry eyed, start crooning:

"There was an old cowboy lived out on the range..."

I guarantee you there wouldn't have been a dry eye or pair of knickers in the house.

Even if not for the reasons some might assume.

Unsubscribe from all but those?

No love for Styx?

I got love for Styx. I don't even think I would personally dislike him in real life. I've known bigger weirdos than him. It's just that I've fallen for all that cult of personality shit, and it doesn't work on me anymore. No other human has ever given me anything in this life. I've got no wisdom earned apart from the reasons for the scars on my face. I've known some very charismatic people in my time that led many on a merry dance as they played pied piper. Didn't do any of them any good. Though shalt not worship false idols. That sentiment, I can get totally on board with.

Styx is just entertainment though. If I want to learn about a subject, I'll research it. I don't go 'ooh, I wonder what Styx would think'. Besides, he is from the same school of 'let's react to what we are supposed to react to today'.

I've got time for moly as well. But you spend a certain amount of time then you move on.

I refuse to even look at it sometimes and when I do its out of curiosity as to where the mainstream narrative is. For the UK it would be knife crime, anti-semitism, child refugees, murder-rape of women and children and what the government, social services and the police are up to to name but a few.

Don't watch this video unless you want to have your piss boiled:

Police intimidation and proto-fascism in action. Anarcho-tyranny at its finest. A couple of black guys (ok, maybe mixed race, who's counting?), getting 'prosecuted' and persecuted by the police, just because they were worried that other people might break the law, so just arrest them instead. The people that were going to attack them? Antifa - the 'Anti-Racists'.

So Anti-Racists attacking black people now. Gotcha! Gonna cross post this in the Tommy thread (and its follow up).

Point being. No, it's not just enough to stop watching the MSM. Even watching youtube will make you feel powerless. It will crush you.

There is no wisdom or knowledge that styx or moly (sorry these two guys have become a bit of a figurehead of the argument - don't mean to single them out - it's not personal) can impart that will make any difference to situations like these. Britain is a police state now in all but name. That video proves it.

This was a demo that wanted to hold a minutes silence for the dead of the Manchester bombing at the Ariana Grande concert where kids got torn to bits. And antifa started shouting obscenities and the police would not allow the 1 minutes silence to take place. The right, even the middle is on the backfoot. Unless you are full on commie red now, you are the enemy. And the police are full on commie red too as are the Manchester council.

I don't comment anymore on these videos. I hardly ever even watch them. Not enough blood pressure tablets in the world.

What this country and this world needs now, is something a whole lot more than watching and commenting on youtube videos. Even not watching the MSM is not the answer. Sorry for the double negative.

It needs people to come together in a very real sense. Form small local communities and take practical steps. Of course, they are doing that. That is why people like Red pill phil are getting shut down. He brings together black and white. He is a family man. Is obviously not a terrorist, yet gets treated like one by the police who take the side of the terrorists doing the bombing.

It's sheer fucking insanity. And if your cognitive dissonance Christmas bells and baubles aren't on full-steam-ahead- alert by now, then quite frankly, they never will be.

Everybody already has all the information they need to see what is going on and what needs to be done.

Watching/not watching MSM/alt media will not prepare you for what is about to come in the next couple of years.

Sort yourself out. Tidy your room if it makes you feel any better about doing it. Look after your family. Try to build some kind of small tribe if you can.

My country is lost. I have very little in common with my fellow man here. I'm on my own. It'll be me vs. them when the bomb drops. I just have the edge for the moment because I realise that. They are still living in la-la land.


Anyway, I get all the news I need from the weather report.

Ok, did it, deleted most of my Youtube subscriptions, over 200. A lot of the channels had already been deleted, many more were political, conspiracy, manosphere channels that were useful once, but won't be missed.

Down to about 20, and trying to keep it mainly to hobbies, music, spiritual, funny type channels.

Felt good deleting one after the other and feeling nothing.

Noticing how negative a lot of the Youtube channels were, or subscribed to just to laugh at the people, or subscribed to channels where I found the person's demeanor objectionable despite the useful content.

Got rid of any total time waster channels that are related to internet gossip, blood sports, any of that.

Feels good, I feel lighter all ready.

Facebook is next. I looked over all the people I followed and felt like I could delete most of them and keep in touch with the ones that mattered in another way.

Let me, entertain you!

Well, not me personally.

These two channels will blow your mind. They will tie in so many different threads of things you always wondered about, stuff you didn't even realise you didn't know, but once you find out...

WARNING. HIGHLY ADDICTIVE. THIS IS YOUTUBE CRACK.

You can not say you have not been warned.

First channel is: Numberphile
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoxcjq-...p3uz647V5A

Second one: The Gresham College lectures
https://www.youtube.com/user/GreshamCollege/playlists

If you are in to astronomy or wondering at the universe at all, perhaps want to know the difference between dark matter and dark energy - it's all here. This lady is an incredible lecturer:

https://www.youtube.com/user/GreshamColl...n+Crawford


The Numberphile channel is just downright intriguing. For example: It explains the difficulty in finding out how many games are possible in chess. Then it explains the square root of two (Pythagoras' constant) and its importance to every day life. It also gives a bit of background on the 'religious' cult that was Pythagoras. It's pure crack, even if you are an innumerate numbskull like me. Never had maths teachers like that in my school.


The Gresham College lectures are amazing. I've mainly been feasting on the astronomy series by Professor Crawford. She bridges that gap between the bullshit entertainment aspect of the paid TV channels with their sensationalism, and the hard core Quantum Physics lectures, that let's face it, someone like me is never going to keep up with.

If you like astronomy or even physics or cosmology in general, this channel is a gem.

I've been working on another data sheet as well to do with buying your first telescope. I'll put that up at some point too. It will cover what you need and how much you need to spend (can do this quite cheaply and well for a few hundred dollars), and how you go about setting things up to see not just the stars and the planets, but also deep sky objects such as other galaxies. (it was pretty cool showing my bro Andromeda in my new telescope, and that light hitting his eye that had traveled for 2.5 million years at the speed of light. Those photons were one-offs. They were unique. No other person that ever existed saw those particular specific sub-atomic particles. I guess you could say we all shared the experience together.)

I'll also cover how you can get up and running without spending any money at all, or if you just want to spend a few bucks. Just to see if it's something that you want to take further.


There may be so much more in heaven and earth than we ever dreamed of in our philosophies. But there's a whole lot that we do have right here and now, at our fingertips. Sometimes we are too busy pointing at the stars to see our fingertips.

If we only look to our fingertips, then that is how we can really see the stars! We have everything we need on this island earth. In this island universe. If we just look within, we will be able to see much further.

So, I am looking for new more positive content on Youtube, and came across this video. This will tie in to what Rigsby says about architecture.

A German dude goes to Japan, falls in love with the architecture, and convinces a whole Japanese town to rediscover their vernacular architectural heritage.

Weird and inspiring at the same time.

Bookmarked to relish later on.

I was being a blowhard again the other day talking about German and Japanese porn. So I need to wind my neck in a bit I think before I draw parallels between that and their architecture!

Fascinating stuff though.

You have to hand it to the Japanese and the Germans. They know how to build with style. As well as efficiency and practicality. Someone told me once that they have toilets seats that stand up when you go to piss in them, and toilets that actually flush! I don't believe it personally. It's not something any house in the UK has (No matter how rich or affluent they are - it's just beyond our general engineering abilities).

Have you ever heard of that meat-eating plant 'the venus fly-trap' - well we don't have those here in the UK, but what we do have, in the form of flesh-eating toilets, is the 'penis fly-trap'! Just as you are ready to give it a bit of mustard, the whole fucking lot comes crashing down on your personal infrastructure. I've said too much as usual.

I'm not in a position to throw rocks at the Germans. I do have much admiration for them though. As I do the Japanese. Not only do they know how to build houses (and flushing toilets), they know how to build cars!

They also lead the world in software design and musical equipment manufacture. Often both in tandem. See Ableton's pairing with Akai on the tech front, but also Yamaha who make some of the best acoustic guitars for the money at the low budget range. I've been researching and finding out more about these big corporations, and also their very humble beginnings.

But yes, Japan and Germany are probably two of the most advanced nations on the planet. One of them I can see surviving, the other one not so much, in the long run. One I see fighting, the other committing cultural suicide. We've been through that a million times. It's nice to have a light hearted break here and there.

Thanks for the link debeguiled. Have a look at the architecture page on the Gresham college link I just gave. Don't know if it's any good. Might be though.


Btw, where is the OP - he went a bit 'dark' didn't he.

Hopefully this thread went in the direction he was hoping for.

[debeguiled]

I am way into Japanese Minka farmhouses. Built with all natural materials, roofs thatched by the whole community, these things are beasts, and can last for hundreds and hundreds of years. Old school timberframe at its finest. The roof structure is lashed together by a kind of willow that stays flexible, allowing the farmhouses to bend with winds or earthquakes, and it is part of the reason these things last so long in one of the most seismic islands in the world.



Look at those insane interiors.



Many are being lost, of course to modernization, although some enterprising souls just disassemble them, sell the parts, ship them overseas and have them reassembled in other countries, good to go for another three hundred years.

Nothing like our modern houses which fall apart the minute the mortgage is paid.

Here is an affecting story of a Western man in Japan restoring a minka. He's a gay dude, but this is only hinted at in the video.

This is a cleaner modern take on the design:
