Greco-futurism: Solution for NRx trichotomy

anon_qoho said in #5194 23h ago: received

Spandrell has written about the three different sides of NRx who are against the Cathedral.

1) Ethno-nationalist
2) Christians (Theonomists)
3) Accelerationists (techno-commercialists)

My proposal solution is to bring a closer unity through focusing in the greeks. The central question is "if the Greeks where here today, and had access to our technology, what would they build? how would they solve our problems?"

1) Convince the ethno-nationalists to put Ancient Greeks above their local petty nationalistic appreciation – to believe that the best civilization to aspire to is the Greeks, and that their own particular nationalism (that be, Anglo, Spanish, Nordic, American, Argentinian, Australia, etc etc) comes second.

2) Convince the Christians that the foundations that made their religion possible is the Greeks, and they are to be admired.

3) Convince the techbros that there are critical insights for tech development in the Greeks - Odysseus crafting his own boat in Odyssey 5, Pelops sabotaging Oenomaus' chariot in the Olympia origin myth, Icarus and Daedalus is not about "technology bad" but "technology good, as long as you don't try to be god", and so on.

I think there's something to explore here. Specially as a current that can build bridges between these three groups + build something that the normies can look up to, and something that is sexy enough that the shitlibs can't help themselves but want to join.

I love the Ancient Greeks.

However, I don't think it's ever a good plan to "Convince faction X of thing Y they don't believe." A much better plan is "Promote Y as best you can, and as one part of that, show how it's also relevant to X."

I see this as asking how do we reinstate apollo, as the current apollo dionysian balance is skewing towards nihilism.

I'm not saying direct worship of apollo, maybe only secular reinstatement of him. At a Catholic highschool I teach at, the head Priest has tons of posters in school of all the greek gods - he tells children "isn't this so cool!" while he tell them how Perseus saved Andromeda.

On the broader public, there's no Hellenic pagan base of normies, like there is with Christians. But there are a few very smart people online who are non-Christians Hellenics who I would like on my side, so I think smart Christians should find ways to build bridges with these small group of pagans.

on the christian angle, I'm interested in this word "πραΰς"

from Matthew 5:5
"μακάριοι οἱ πραεῖς, ὅτι αὐτοὶ κληρονομήσουσιν τὴν γῆν."
- the common read is "blessed be the meek"

But Aristotle describes "πραΰς" as in between two extremes:

- ὀργίλος (irascible, prone to anger)
- ἀόργητος (lacking proper anger)

this is a particular bridge I would like to explore further
