The Ark

In episode 1 of the Aristos Podcast, I discuss morality and nature in Homer, Achilles' choice of a short life of glory, the meaning of the aristocratic worldview, and the necessity of its revival in the modern West.

The West has a split soul. Historically, this split is represented by the figures of Caesar and Christ. But more broadly, these figures represent the war between two opposing values in the soul of the West: excellence and equality.  * * * MUSIC BY EL MONO MAS GRANDE: https://open.spotify.com/artist/5h7vJmkbbPnOL8IaGrJhze?si=AL4IiO0WQOO1hWAJNasUiA&utm_source=copy-link&nd=1 https://elmonomasgrande.bandcamp.com/album/songs-for-astronauts SUPPORT THE ARK: https://ko-fi.com/heroicideal MERCH: https://heroicideal.store Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/flesh.and.fire/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/heroic_ideal CHAPTERS: 0:00 Ants and Lions 4:18 Pagan Aristocracy and Utopian Christianity 8:07 The Renaissance and Machiavelli 12:43 Excellence Over Equality 17:26 We Are Hyperboreans Other music: Cinematic Adventure Dramatic by Infraction | Everest https://youtu.be/JpnVQ9nKfWs?si=ybpx5aHQgJpde7wh True Detective Soundtrack | The Tiara https://youtu.be/0ngpLHbv3Yw Music by https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcav...​ (by CO.AG) Music by https://www.fiftysounds.com #nietzsche #caesar #ubermensch #paganism #westerncivilization #religion #philosophy #christianity

With pressures of nature nullified by modern civilization, man will soon bifurcate into two species: super-human and sub-human. This is already happening all around us. Your choice is simple: live as cattle and die miserably like swine, drowning in poisons, or dare to steal fire from the gods and turn yourself into a SUPERHUMAN. Your decision will not only define your life, but the DESTINY of mankind. * * * EDITOR: Zarathustra himself edited the epic intro https://twitter.com/ZarathustraPro?s=20 Prometheus voiced by Rodrigo Quercia Prometheus animation: https://youtu.be/FjYc647E24o Directed & animated by Peter Dodd LINKS: Merch: https://heroicideal.store Donation link: https://buy.stripe.com/4gweX02e50NPb60000 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/flesh.and.fire/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/heroic_ideal CHAPTERS: 0:00 The Bifurcation of Man: Ubermensch & Bugman 3:37 The Promethean Purpose of Technology & Civilization 7:00 The Superhuman Project MUSIC: Cinematic Tense Dramatic by Infraction | Diabolus https://youtu.be/eeBpcpjcRMI?si=NczFMbt_P5UyyONV Epic Action Cinematic by Infraction | Heroes https://youtu.be/lpEL1Nt6rJk Cinematic Adventure Dramatic by Infraction | Everest https://youtu.be/JpnVQ9nKfWs?si=ybpx5aHQgJpde7wh Cinematic Sad Orchestra by Cold Cinema | Lost My Way https://youtu.be/1rg8dNLrJno?si=cf0NTaMcDzi6smcp Music by https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcav...​ (by CO.AG) Music by https://www.fiftysounds.com #ubermensch #nietzsche #prometheus #overman #podman #lastman #mythology #philosophy

A war is coming… a war over the very nature of man and the destiny of human civilization. In fact, we are already in the midst of this war. As our technological abilities rapidly accelerates, this war also accelerates.

In the Biblical story of Abel and Cain, we see a record of one of the most important conflicts in the history of mankind: the conflict between the agriculturalists and the pastoralists, perhaps the very same story told in the mythological war between the titans and Olympians, the Aesir and the Vanir...

We are often told to think of the story of Abel and Cain as moral lesson against resentment. But in focusing on the surface level meaning of the story, we miss the fundamentally amoral worldview which underpins it: Virtue stems from having the correct relationship with life and is fundamentally linked with vitality. God does not favor the moral man. God favors the STRONG.

As mankind becomes increasingly integrated with the machinery of economy and state, he will become a mere cog in a giant clockwork. Man himself will become a machine, a worker drone in a vast superstructure which is beyond his comprehension. This mechanized mankind is suffocating vision of the future championed by those like Klaus Schwab’s, a future which Nietzsche predicted more than a hundred years ago.

The interpretation of Genesis which we have received is that of a fall from paradise, in which Adam and Eve enjoyed immortality, into a world of death. This mortality also came with the punishments of agricultural and reproductive labor. We know that the authors of the New Testament took this interpretation, so it was likely the popular interpretation by that time. However, when we look at the original text and strip away the layers of alter interpretation, the text does not seem to support the idea that Adam and Eve were immortal in Eden.

“Man is a rope, stretched between beast and superman—a rope over an abyss.” – Nietzsche The vision which has bound all of western civilization together is the vision of the superman. But now, it seems that the image of the superman is in danger of slipping away from us; in danger of fading forever from our memories and hearts. For many of us, it feels as if we are emerging from a fog. Where are we? How did we get here? On what distant star should we set our goal? This the first episode of my new series, "Bridges to the Superman." In it, I outline the aim of the series.

From worm to man... from Adam and Prometheus to Caesar and Napoleon... you are part of something greater. Our most dire problem in modernity is the DISORIENTATION and DERACINATION which prevents us from seeing clearly and taking action. If we can understand WHAT and WHERE we are, we can find purpose amid the chaos of modernity and seize the future.
