> All over the world, in churches, libraries, universities,
streets, homes, and bedrooms, white ladies and gentlemen cherish
the sacredness that comes from being quiet. The darker races
wallow in noise. Their churches are energetic and boisterous,
their libraries are places for conversation and argument, and
their universities are scenes of conflict and clamor. In the
streets at all hours, they speak with vulgarity and crudeness,
they blast repetitive cultural anthems from cheap speakers,
flip-phones, and touchscreens. From their personal headphones
come obnoxious and high-pitched sounds, and when they are not
listening to music they are singing rudely in the street or
humming audibly.

--- Quote ---
> In 1854, in England, Thomas Bartlett made and then patented
(1855) a rock drill, the bit of which was connected directly to
the piston of a steam engine. In 1855, Bartlett demonstrated his
drill, powered by compressed air, to officials of the Mount
Fréjus tunnel project.[12] (In 1855, a German, Schumann,
invented a similar pneumatic rock drill in Freiburg,
Germany.[13]) By 1861, Bartlett’s drill had been refined by the
Savoy-born engineer Germain Sommeiller (1815-1871) and his
colleagues, Grandis and Grattoni.[14] Thereafter, many inventors
refined the pneumatic drill.[15]
> ...
> The sound of the hammer blows, combined with the explosive air
exhaust, makes pneumatic jackhammers dangerously loud, emitting
more than 120 dB SPL near the operator’s ears.[21]
Sound-blocking earmuffs and earplugs must be worn by the
operator to prevent a form of hearing loss, of which tinnitus is
the main symptom. Although some pneumatic jackhammers now have a
silencer around the barrel of the tool, the primary noise source
comes from the chisel striking the object being removed.

> Aircraft engines are the major source of noise and can exceed
140 decibels (dB) during takeoff. While airborne, the main
sources of noise are the engines and the high speed turbulence
over the fuselage.[6]
>
> There are health consequences of elevated sound levels.
Elevated workplace or other noise can cause hearing impairment,
hypertension, ischemic heart disease, annoyance, sleep
disturbance, and decreased school performance.[7] Although some
hearing loss occurs naturally with age,[8] in many developed
nations the impact of noise is sufficient to impair hearing over
the course of a lifetime.[9][10] Elevated noise levels can
create stress, increase workplace accident rates, and stimulate
aggression and other anti-social behaviors.[11] Airport noise
has been linked to high blood pressure.[12] Aircraft noise
increases risks of heart attacks.[13]
> ...
> The German study concluded that aircraft noise clearly and
significantly impairs health.[14] For example, a day-time
average sound pressure level of 60 decibels increasing coronary
heart disease by 61% in men and 80% in women. As another
indicator, a night-time average sound pressure level of 55
decibels increased the risk of heart attacks by 66% in men and
139% in women. Statistically significant health effects did
however start as early as from an average sound pressure level
of 40 decibels.[14]

or more generally:
HTML https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise_pollution#Health
--- Quote ---
> Noise pollution affects both health and behavior. Unwanted
sound (noise) can damage physiological health. Noise pollution
is associated with several health conditions, including
cardiovascular disorders, hypertension, high stress levels,
tinnitus, hearing loss, sleep disturbances, and other harmful
and disturbing effects.[6][11][12][13][14] According to a 2019
review of the existing literature, noise pollution was
associated with faster cognitive decline.[15]
>
> Across Europe, according to the European Environment Agency,
an estimated 113 million people are affected by road traffic
noise levels above 55 decibels, the threshold at which noise
becomes harmful to human health by the WHO's definition.[16]
>
> Sound becomes unwanted when it either interferes with normal
activities such as sleep or conversation, or disrupts or
diminishes one's quality of life.[17] Noise-induced hearing loss
can be caused by prolonged exposure to noise levels above 85
A-weighted decibels.[18] A comparison of Maaban tribesmen, who
were insignificantly exposed to transportation or industrial
noise, to a typical U.S. population showed that chronic exposure
to moderately high levels of environmental noise contributes to
hearing loss.[11]
> ...
> Noise pollution can have negative affects on adults and
children on the autistic spectrum.[22] Those with Autism
Spectrum Disorder (ASD) can have hyperacusis, which is an
abnormal sensitivity to sound.[23] People with ASD who
experience hyperacusis may have unpleasant emotions, such as
fear and anxiety, and uncomfortable physical sensations in noisy
environments with loud sounds.[24] This can cause individuals
with ASD to avoid environments with noise pollution, which in
turn can result in isolation and negatively affect their quality
of life. Sudden explosive noises typical of high-performance car
exhausts and car alarms are types of noise pollution that can
affect people with ASD.[22]
>
> While the elderly may have cardiac problems due to noise,
according to the World Health Organization, children are
especially vulnerable to noise, and the effects that noise has
on children may be permanent.[25] Noise poses a serious threat
to a child's physical and psychological health, and may
negatively interfere with a child's learning and behavior.[26]
>
> Wildlife
>
> Sound is the primary way many marine organisms learn about
their environment. For example, many species of marine mammals
and fish use sound as their primary means of navigating,
communicating, and foraging.[27] Anthropogenic noise can have a
detrimental effect on animals, increasing the risk of death by
changing the delicate balance in predator or prey detection[28]
and avoidance, and interfering with the use of the sounds in
communication, especially in relation to reproduction, and in
navigation and echolocation.[29] These effects then may alter
more interactions within a community through indirect ("domino")
effects.[30] Acoustic overexposure can lead to temporary or
permanent loss of hearing.
>
> European robins living in urban environments are more likely
to sing at night in places with high levels of noise pollution
during the day, suggesting that they sing at night because it is
quieter, and their message can propagate through the environment
more clearly.[31] The same study showed that daytime noise was a
stronger predictor of nocturnal singing than night-time light
pollution, to which the phenomenon often is attributed.
Anthropogenic noise reduced the species richness of birds found
in Neotropical urban parks.[32]
>
> Zebra finches become less faithful to their partners when
exposed to traffic noise. This could alter a population's
evolutionary trajectory by selecting traits, sapping resources
normally devoted to other activities and thus leading to
profound genetic and evolutionary consequences.[33]
>
> Underwater noise pollution due to human activities is also
prevalent in the sea, and given that sound travels faster
through water than through air, is a major source of disruption
of marine ecosystems and does significant harm to sea life,
including marine mammals, fish and invertebrates.[34][35] The
principal anthropogenic noise sources come from merchant ships,
naval sonar operations, underwater explosions (nuclear), and
seismic exploration by oil and gas industries.[36] Cargo ships
generate high levels of noise due to propellers and diesel
engines.[37][38] This noise pollution significantly raises the
low-frequency ambient noise levels above those caused by
wind.[39] Animals such as whales that depend on sound for
communication can be affected by this noise in various ways.
Higher ambient noise levels also cause animals to vocalize more
loudly, which is called the Lombard effect. Researchers have
found that humpback whales' song lengths were longer when
low-frequency sonar was active nearby.[40]
>
> Noise pollution may have caused the death of certain species
of whales that beached themselves after being exposed to the
loud sound of military sonar.[41] (see also Marine mammals and
sonar) Even marine invertebrates, such as crabs (Carcinus
maenas), have been shown to be negatively affected by ship
noise.[42][43] Larger crabs were noted to be negatively affected
more by the sounds than smaller crabs. Repeated exposure to the
sounds did lead to acclimatization.[43]
> ...
> Another study that demonstrates a stress response in
invertebrates was conducted on the squid species Doryteuthis
pealeii. The squid was exposed to sounds of construction known
as pile driving, which impacts the sea bed directly and produces
intense substrate-borne and water-borne vibrations.[49] The
squid reacted by jetting, inking, pattern change and other
startle responses.[50]
> ...
> Boat-noise has been shown to affect the embryonic development
and fitness of the sea hare Stylocheilus striatus.[52]
Anthropogenic noise can alter conditions in the environment that
have a negative effect on invertebrate survival. Although
embryos can adapt to normal changes in their environment,
evidence suggests they are not well adapted to endure the
negative effects of noise pollution. Studies have been conducted
on the sea hare to determine the effects of boat noise on the
early stages of life and development of embryos. Researchers
have studied sea hares from the lagoon of Moorea Island, French
Polynesia. In the study, recordings of boat noise were made by
using a hydrophone.[52] In addition, recordings of ambient noise
were made that did not contain boat noise. In contrast to
ambient noise playbacks, mollusks exposed to boat noise
playbacks had a 21% reduction in embryonic development.
Additionally, newly hatched larvae experienced an increased
mortality rate of 22% when exposed to boat noise playbacks.[52]
> ...
> The anthropogenic noise produced by human activity has been
shown to negatively impact oysters.[54] Studies have revealed
that wide and relaxed valves are indicative of healthy oysters.
The oysters are stressed when they do not open their valves as
frequently in response to environmental noise.

culture seriously. It is a conflicted tribute paid to their
chief adversary. Against Christianity it makes two related
charges. Beginning with the claim that Europe effectively
created Christianity—not the other way around—it argues that
Christian teachings have become socially and morally poisonous
to the West. A major work of alt-right history opens with a

intellectual circles of the alt-right. As with all cultures, a
single idea permeates the arts and sciences of the West. Its
distinctive mark is an intense striving for “infinity.”
According to Spengler, our culture has uniquely sought to see
all things in relation to the highest or most distant horizons,
which, in turn, it seeks to surpass and extend. The vaults of
medieval cathedrals, the discovery of perspective in painting,
the exploration of the New World, the development of orchestral
music, the invention of the telescope and calculus—in Spengler’s
story, all express the Faustian drive

himself into infinity. Of this aspiration, Spengler maintains,
“the Gospels know nothing.”

> Benoist is the leading theorist of the European New Right, an
intellectual movement that began in France in the late 1960s and
took its inspiration from the failed “conservative revolution”
of Weimar Germany. Carl Schmitt, Ernst Jünger, Arthur Moeller
van den Bruck, and Spengler were its chief figures. Most of its
members, including Spengler, took sides against the Nazi regime,
but they also sought a path for the West beyond the twin evils
of American democracy and Soviet communism. Benoist comes from
this anti-liberal tradition, and his many books, which blend
extreme right-wing and left-wing ideas, attempt to envision a
post-Christian future for people of European descent.

(It goes without saying that National Socialist Germany was
pro-Christian, aiming to purify it back to Gnosticism.)

> There is no better introduction to alt-right theory than his
1981 work On Being a Pagan. Its tone is serene, but its message
is militant. Benoist argues that the West must choose between
two warring visions of human life: biblical monotheism and
paganism. Benoist is a modern-day Celsus. Like his
second-century predecessor, he writes to reawaken Europeans to
their ancient faith. Paganism’s central claim is simple: that
the world is holy and eternal. “Far from desacralizing the
world,” Benoist tells us, paganism “sacralizes it in the literal
sense of the word, since it regards the world as sacred.”
Paganism is also a humanism. It recognizes man, the highest
expression of nature, as the sole measure of the divine.

expression of this “Faustian” vitality. It does so by placing
the ultimate source of truth outside of humanity, in an
otherworldly realm to which we must be subservient.

In other words, Benoist dislikes in Christianity only the
potentially Gnostic parts.
--- Quote ---
> And here we reach Benoist’s remarkable conclusion. The
decadent West has never been more Christian. Christianity
imparted to our culture an ethics that has mutated into what the
alt-right calls “pathological altruism.” Its self-distrust,
concern for victims, and fear of excluding outsiders—such values
swindle Western peoples out of a preferential love for their
own.
--- End Quote ---
I agree academically with Benoist. The Counterculture era could
have been the bridge to Gnostic revival if it had only lasted
longer! And even now I have not given up on Gnostic revivalism.
But to achieve it we must first identify Homo Hubris as the
explicit enemy to first be eradicated from existence.

Georgia. In his search of the Northwest Passage, he mapped the

But let's get back to the enemy article:

> There are too many great European cartographers to suppress.
Francis Beaufort produced in 1792 the first map of Ireland, as
the great hydrographer of his generation. He instructed map
-making explorers that "the height of all headlands, isolated
hills, and remarkable peaks should be trigonometrically
determined...The nature of the shore, whether high cliff, low
rock, or flat beach...the material of the beach, mud, sand,
gravel or stones" (John Noble Wilford, The Mapmakers).
>
> I wont say anything about the men who started mapping the
interior of India, and only a few words about the ones who began
land surveying and mapping the United States. One has to start
with the mapping explorers Lewis and Clark, who conducted one of
the most renowned journeys in history crossing the uncharted
American West from August 1803 to September 1806, reporting
about in detail about the geography and wildlife and producing
about 140 maps of the area. They were followed by John Charles
Frémont (1813-90), the first presidential Republican candidate,
mapping explorer of the country between Missouri and the Rocky
Mountains, Oregon and Upper California, and the "still and
solitary grandeur" of the Great Salt Lake. And Almon Harris
Thompson, the mapper of Colorado through the Grand Canyon,
southern Utah, part of Arizona — topographical maps to
illustrate rivers, canyons, mountains, with a geological
perspective.

It goes without saying that they never asked permission from the
existing inhabitants before doing any of this.
--- Quote ---
> For all this, it has been estimated that in 1885 less than
one-ninth of the land surface of the earth had been surveyed —
which should not surprise us since the rest of the world
remained asleep without much cartography other than the
knowledge percolating from the West. The rest of the world was
compelled to accept the cartographic directives of European men.
In 1884, the West told the world to adopt the Greenwich meridian
as the prime meridian of the world, dividing the Earth into the
Eastern and the Western hemisphere. The prime meridian is the
line of 0° longitude, the starting point for measuring distance
both east and west around the Earth. The prime meridian set by
white men over the world separates the eastern hemisphere from
the western hemisphere, and it is the International Date Line,
the imaginary line on Earth's surface defining the boundary
between one day and the next.

And we are supposed to be grateful for this?
--- Quote ---
> With the merger of the white technologies of aviation and the
camera, including aerial photogrammetry, cartography was
revolutionized yet again, leading the to the rapid mapping of
the globe through the 20th century. From this point on, we are
no longer speaking of trailblazers and mapping explorers as much
as institutionalized cartographers assisted by scientists
sitting on desks, who would go on to develop newer technologies,
automation techniques, electronic distance-measuring
instruments, inertial navigation systems, high resolution
radars, remote sensing, and computers — revealing great
geographic details at long distances These technologies allowed
radar imagery to be converted into maps of impenetrable regions
like the Amazon, including geologic and seismic mapping of the
earth beneath. They also began to map the mountains, chasms, and
plains beneath the oceans, with the use of deep-sea echo
sounders, magnetometers, and underwater sonars. And the
universe. Europeans had began mapping the moon back in the
seventeenth century with the lunar cartographer Johannes
Hevelius producing his famous Map of the Moon in 1647. Today,
hundreds of teams of scientists are working with complex
technologies, such as the Hubble and Spitzer Space Telescopes,
mapping everything from the far reaches of the universe to the
most infinitesimally small particles within it. This Faustian
drive for mastery of the unknown has now produced (as of 2010),
based on the ground-based telescopes of the 2MASS Redshift
Survey, 3D images of 43,000 galaxies.

This is the most fundamental problem: Homo Hubris will never be
satisfied. There will never come a point when they will say,
"OK! We've done enough maps! We don't need any more maps! Let's
finally stop!" Because to them it was never about needing the
maps themselves. It was always and only ever about the
self-gratification associated with doing something no one else
had done before (without concern for how much violence had to be
initiated along the way). The only way to stop them is to
eliminate their bloodlines.
--- Quote ---
> Don't let them suppress these incredible achievements away
from white students for the sake of "increasing the self-esteem
of non-mainstream students"!
--- End Quote ---
I am reposting Duchesne's article, so I can hardly be accused of
suppressing the information; if anything I am spreading it.
However, I want people to see it as evidence of Western
inferiority. By understanding what Homo Hubris is, the more we
read about how they chose to spend their time and energy, surely
the more we will despise them.

More Duchesne (remember that I - unlike False Leftists whose
narrative is mostly about crediting non-Western civilizations
for Western characteristics - mostly agree with him academically
about these characteristics being unique to Western
civilization; it is just that I hate those same characteristics
which he loves):
HTML https://www.eurocanadian.ca/2021/11/the-university-is-european-institution-par-excellence.html
--- Quote ---
> let it be said, in the words of Walter Rüegg, that the
university is "the European institution par excellence." In its
past dedication to learning, open inquiry, celebration of truth,
there is no comparable institution. There were about 66
universities in the world in 1500 — all located in Europe. In
1789, the year of the French Revolution, there were about 143
universities in Europe, with only one university outside the
Western world in Turkey. This is the meaning of supremacy.
> ...
> In the thirteenth century, universitas came to mean the
totality of the branches of knowledge, the whole community of
learners, in classical Latin. University teachers came to
acquire the status of a group which transcended local and
disciplinary boundaries in possession of a universally accepted
corpus of knowledge. The fact that this one institution spread
over the entire world, with the bachelor's degree, the master's
degree, and the doctorate adopted in the most culturally diverse
nations of the world, points to its universality.
>
> European civilization originated this universal institution.
No other society conferred the privileges of a corporation to
institutions of higher learning wherein reason could find a
"neutral space" of free inquiry.
--- End Quote ---
This is correct. The False Left is indeed wrong in trying to
give credit to Islam for universities:
--- Quote ---
> This interpretation of the origins of universities was widely
accepted in academia. But the pressures of multiculturalism and
nonwhite immigration are leading some academics to argue that
Moslems should be given precedent for the origins of
universities. They are demanding that the University of
al-Qarawiyyin be identified as the "first university", although
this place was designated as a "university" only in 1963, and
was originally founded as a mosque in 859 (Esposito, 2003).
Other academics are claiming that Al-Azhar University, which was
also founded as a mosque in 970-972, should be designated as
"the second oldest university in the world".
>
> They are maintaining that Islamic centers of learning
originated the practice of organizing foreign students into
associations, and the idea of universal validity of the
qualification for teaching based on the title of the
baccalarius. But according to Rüegg, "the term baccalarius could
not be an Islamic import of the twelfth century because it was
already in use in the ninth century as the Latin designation of
a preparatory or auxiliary status in a variety of social
careers" (p. 8). Even the Islamicist George Makdisi, despite
finding some general affinities between Islamic centers of
learning and European universities, has concluded that "the
university is a twelfth century product of the West both in its
corporate structure and in the privileges it received from Pope
and King" (cited in Rüegg, p. 8). Makdisi himself cautions that
"in studying an institution which is foreign and remote in point
of time, as is the case of the medieval madrasa, one runs
the...risk of attributing to it characteristics borrowed from
one's own [Western] institutions...The most unwarranted of these
[comparisons] is the one which makes of the 'madrasa' a
'university'" (1970). The madrasa was not a high degree-awarding
institution, but a "college of Islamic law" lacking corporate
status and a rationalistic curriculum, supported by an endowment
or charitable trust, that is a waqf, which consisted of a
building or plot of land, for Muslim religious or charitable
purposes.

The True Left argument is simple: which institution - university
or madrasa - has done more harm to the world? The answer is
obvious when we consider that almost everything listed in this
topic:
HTML https://trueleft.createaforum.com/true-left-vs-right/western-civilization-is-a-health-hazard/
exists as a consequence of knowledge introduced by a university.
Thus Islamic civilization is superior to Western civilization
precisely because its academic institutions have done nowhere
near the harm done by Western academic institutions. And let's
not even get started about we would never have had to worry
about any of this:

if only madrasas existed in the world.
