       the following woke comment is a simple decolonizing action that
       we should repeat more often:

       This Eurocentric bias appears frequently, therefore needs to be
       challenged every time we come across it:

       "Then we have university to continue destroying the psyche of
       young people. The brain keeps developing until the mid-20s, and
       probably by no coincidence, that is how long it would take
       someone to get a PhD if they went to university straight after
       high school."
       Thankfully I moved out as soon as I graduated high school (at
       the age of 18). Never going back again.
       "Westerners have perfectly honed things so young people's entire
       brain development cycles are riddled with nothing but stress and
       violence."
       And we wonder why we have so many losers and are in increasingly
       depressed and drugged world. Yet Transhumanists like Zoltan
       Istvan (Gentile) advocate extending education to
       college/university. Alhamdulillah, it seems like that is
       thankfully only a minority, since almost everyone (apart from a
       small group of false leftists) doesn't take that seriously, let
       alone extending it.
       How do we advocate people running away from their families, let
       alone make it mainstream?

       Self-Reflection, and Correct way for the muslims on seeing
       Western Civilization
       --- Quote ---
       > Now, everyone must realize that this is an acute problem that
       is endemic in the Muslim intellectual world. This attitude of
       adoption without adaptation is shown by Thaha Husain, an expert
       on Arabic literature from Egypt (1889-1976). In his book,
       Mustaqbal ats-Tsaqafah fi Mishr, he says, "We must imitate the
       Europeans in order to be equal to them in civilization; whether
       it is good or bad, sweet or bitter, and what is liked or what is
       hated from them." No less extreme than Thaha Husain's statement,
       is what Abdullah Cevdet, a leader of the Young Turks Movement,
       has emphasized, "There is only one civilization, and that is
       European civilization. Therefore, we must borrow Western
       Civilization, both its roses and its thorns. at a time."
       >
       > Applicatively, such statements have actually animates Muslim
       students who study in the West equally. Without saying such
       extreme words, they now seem to be very fond of picking up
       Western scientific discourses, concepts, and methodologies, to
       then apply them in dissecting the concepts, teachings, and
       understandings that exist in Islam, by using the Western
       perspective (framework).
       >
       > This irony actually departs from an attitude of exaggerated
       awe towards the West, giving rise to feelings of inferiority and
       blunting of critical power towards the West. So it is not
       surprising, if they are generally of the view that the West is
       superior to Islam in many ways, including in the field of
       religion. From here, they then adopted Western sciences,
       concepts and methodologies as well as their point of view, so
       that they did not leave room for the Islamic point of view to
       participate in making selections, comments and criticisms in
       their study methodology. Ultimately, West would go on to win,
       from the first round all the way to the end.

       This is not the correct argument against democracy, because it
       assumes majority rule is good, and then only argues that
       democracy is bad because it does not truly produce majority rule
       but instead leads to minority (capitalist) rule. Thus it only
       motivates democrats to build a system of democracy that is
       immune to capitalist manipulation. The only correct way to argue
       against democracy is to argue that majority rule itself is bad
       and minority rule is what we want. (But the minority we prefer
       to rule is of course not the capitalist minority.)
