[Main Blog Post] Understanding Spengler's Decline of the West, Bit 6 - Odds and Ends

[jprussell]

Well, I am late in posting this, as things got a bit hectic this weekend and I failed to ready myself for that by getting this done sooner. This brings me to 2 late posts for the year, I think, out of the five I'll allow myself and still say I've met my boast. At any rate, here's what I think will be the last in my series of posts on Spengler, which pulls together a grab bag of sayings, thoughts, and links to other things I've read. You can read it here.

I have not "solved" it... ;)

But, I am finding this series of posts from 2017 rather instructive... https://samzdat.com/the-uruk-series/

[jprussell]

Yes! That series is fantastic! I find it pairs well, if depressingly, with Zvi Mowshowitz's series on "Immoral Mazes".

Since you know the Uruk series, perhaps you know something about its author, Lou Keep? The thing is his posts seem to peter out in 2019 or so... Is he still writing somewhere else? Has he gone silent? passed on? Do you know?

[jprussell]

Unfortunately, I do not know. He started a <a href="https://loukeep.substack.com>substack</a> about history right before he went silent, but I think he only posted once or twice there. And he hasn't posted anything on Twitter since 2020. @deketmoisont also read sam[]zdat and followed that space somewhat - maybe he knows something I don't?
