Geoffroi de Charny wrote in his treatise "A Knight's Own Book of Chivalry" that, "...he who does more is of greater worth."
He repeats this line many times throughout the work, and I believe it is the underlying foundation of what he writes. The good knight ought to be magnanimous, and if he truly desires and seeks after honor and virtue and greatness, he should work harder, sacrifice more, and do better than everyone else.
I have learned two things today: what a kurganing is, and what a tardigan is. Seriously I didn’t know such a creature existed. Very funny description of the perfumed prince. Johann Kurtz is definitely not an English name, I wonder if he fancies himself a Hapsburg prince or a noble man? I find the fretting over fertility rates to be very tiresome, and women simply aren’t going to be nagged or badgered into having more children. The latest salvo in this direction was a few weeks ago when Elon Musk (now there’s a noble prince to emulate!) lamented about Japan and Korea going extinct. Who believes that Elon gave a flying fart about Japanese or Korean fertility? Precisely nobody. It’s obvious that he has an agenda, probably his precious H1B low wage immigration to replace American workers.
He writes anonymously, because... well... he is a coward and a fraud. And can never afford (morally, spiritually, intellectually, as well as financially) to actually say anything even mildly controversial in public with his own face and name attached to it.
There are a bunch of us dissidents who are regulated by organisations who have the power to remove us from our job by law... so no, we are not "easily labelled".
(This has not stopped people connecting my name and job with posts in the past, btw: it is the reason my old blog was nuked. I had offended the pagan theology of the progressive regulators).
We need to think about how to manage this. To quote the Psalmist:
Quare fremuerunt gentes, et populi meditati sunt inania? Astiterunt reges terrae, et principes convenerunt in unum adversus Dominum, et adversus christum ejus. Dirumpamus vincula eorum, et projiciamus a nobis jugum ipsorum.
On topic, you cannot be noble without the ability to protect and provide for your community. I think that is missed: the cursus honorium existed so that by the time a patrician had power he had been under orders. had developed his clients, and had experience in leadership. The Republics of the city states worked because they still understood this. You don't inherit honour and power: you earn it.
Okay he definitely is not a native English speaker, I would guess German but definitely some kind of Northern European. Why’d you have to link to his lame podcast? 😂

This Johann boy sounds like a weenie.
You've outdone yourself on this one brother. Your shiv is deadly.
