How to Make the West Great Again | Video

Westerness is a set of innate values and an instinctive inclination to a certain way of life; an inherent mindset, an inborn mode of being and expressing oneself in the world. Will we let the house our fathers built fall into decay?

For just as a tree will fail to grow to its full potential if transplanted into foreign soil, so too do we suffer if we try to build our identity on the traditions, or ways of life, of another culture.

This video explores the values of Western identity that the Last Man has forgotten, and why our well-being as a society requires that we once again follow the life path upon which this identity was built.

“No wonder the Western world feels uneasy. . .It has lost its moral and spiritual values to a very dangerous degree. Its moral and spiritual tradition has collapsed, and has left a worldwide disorientation and dissociation.”

— Carl Jung, Collected Works Volume 18.

The Academy of Ideas always provides abundant food for thought. How profound is this?:

“Another fundamental element of Western identity is its strong emphasis on individualism. Perhaps more than any other civilisation in history, the West understood the importance of allowing men and women to unfold the idiosyncratic side of their personality. As Westerners, we are naturally pulled in this direction, and any blockages to this process manifests as addictions, neuroses and anxiety disorders.”

It only requires a minority to “follow the Daimon” [defined as a guiding spirit, tutelary deity]. Jung explored this in “The Development of Personality”.
