I mean i understand that the age of enlightenment had a major role in cultivating these people. And these people became the boon of White excellence. Literally, origin most of our daily culture and knowledge can be traced back to the ingenuity of these people. But that enlightenment came when white people looked into classics and other ancient knowledge. If so then why can't it is so hard to cultivate such revolutionary white people when we have freely available brilliant resources more than ever before?

it's complex. but i found that filtering 4chan posts noticeably raised my IQ by +30 points. maybe it's about who you surround yourself with and what you don't allow to occupy your mind. or at least part of it. another part of course is proper nutrition etc.

These people exist now. You may not believe it but theyโ€™re on the internet. There exist more philosophers, monks, and intellectuals now than at any other point in human history. Never has there existed such a well informed populace exposed and thus educated on everything from science, the esoteric, the classics, law, and just about anything else of intellectual value. But more so than that is the lens of objectivity. People can view these subjects with detachment and thus form rational and realistic attitudes towards them.

The Renaissance and the Enlightenment were two different periods separated by like 200 years. They were similar in that both involved periods of intense intellectual and artistic creaitivity and exploration. The Renaissance was the revival of Greek and Roman classical art, science, and philosophy after centuries of political and cultural stagnation. The Enlightenment was the birth of modern science. Tge Renaissance was a return to the high culture of classical Western civilization whereas the Enlightenment was the birth of modern science and also fed into the industrial revolution to a large extent.renaissance was 1400s-1500s, Enlightenment was like 1690s-1810s.

It's a good question. At least were seeing the emergence of AI now. That feels like it has potential to be something great. It can help you learn and you can talk to it instead of having to interact with women and their emotional thinking which is a major leap forward.

we are cultivating such white people, we exist:
https://pol.foundation/Happening.html

why aren't there more of us? probably because modern civilization is full of distractions making us complacent and lazy. food/water quality also impairs the thinking of most people.

Most "Enlightenment" thinkers are retards. Rousseau is the reason why the modern westerner feels inferior to every naked cannibal in the third world. Spinoza is the reason why religious life collapsed and let's not even mention DeSade.

They were the Dawkinses and Sam Harrises of their day.

There were lots of stupid people back then. Zillions of them. 99% of people in that era never went more than 15km from where they were born, never travelled at all unless they were grabbed by a press gang and forced into the navy or tricked into being hijacked by the army and sent far away to hopefully die of some disease after being exhausted with hard work and shitty food and mistreatment, worse than American slaves. Most people didn't wear powdered wigs and culottes (knee pants). Hence the "sans culottes" jacobins of the French Revolution that thirsted for the blood of their oppressors particularly in times of famine.

Their favorite piece of music was "La Carmagnole" which they marched and danced to.
I read the full 12 volumes of the memoires of Giacomo de Casanova en Francais original. Plon Edition. I'm reading the 3 volume memoire of Barras, head of the Directorate and early patron of Napoleon. Napoleon was his shameless ass kisser. You're looking at the elite. That's like thinking current Americans are all like jet fighter pilots. They're not. They're obese tattooed scum, pro wrestling fans all.

enlightment is the result of renaissance, and renaissanfe the result of humanism, and humanism the result of the european commotion that the plague caused. Each of the big โ€˜stepsโ€™ take betwen 1 or 2 centuries.

Those are the detritus that the real Enlightenment sort of cast off like slag from steel production.
The real englightenment was mathematical. Great minds starting with Descartes and leading to D'Alembert and others.
As Kenneth Clark the historian said; the main thing separating us from the ancient world world is that fact that during the Englightenment the French created more mathematics than all of human history previous to it.

Are we headed for barbarity? Hard to say. We could be headed to a new golden age. It's hard to figure out looking around at your immediate circumstances which admittedly are disconcerting. But if you did live in the Englightenment you'd probably find it unnerving to see mobs parading down the main street brandishing severed heads on bloody pikes.

"Everything south of Rome is Africa"
Well known Italian proverb

Northern Italy was heavily populated by the Langobards a migrating germanic tribe during the collapse of the Roman Empire. The Renaissance is a Northern Italian phenomenon, Despite fruitful soil and beautiful weather the south of Italy produced nothing in the Renaissance.

They seem intelligent because only the greatest speeches, writing, architecture, etc. from their era was preserved to the modern day.
There were plenty of midwits and retards from that era. They just didn't leave anything behind for future generations, or what they left was trash that was forgotten 10 years after they died.
It would be like people 500 years from now thinking we were all geniuses because they read the works of Ta-Nehisi Coates or David Graeber in the Classics section of their version of a library. And not seeing the stupid crap most people consume on TikTok and Facebook.
