Jacobinism

JACOBINISM
Friends, in French Jacobinisms maps exactly to my nightmare: a centralized nation-state w/IYIs running it, coupled with a monolithic national identity (anti-localism, anti-minorities, anti-multiculturalism).
What would be the corresponding English term? pic.twitter.com/0hnG3ijKvZ

— Nassim Nicholas Taleb (@nntaleb) August 13, 2020

However, the lamentable nationalist trends did not start with the Jacobins, even if the French Revolution further consolidated state power.

As for "anti-minorities," I am not sure what Taleb means by this.

The America Mind

The second concept is anti-fragility. Being anti-fragile means setting yourself up to flourish and thrive in times of chaos, to come out of bad scenarios even stronger. A good question to ask when mapping out your gloomiest scenarios is:  What is the opportunity in this? How could I benefit from it?  Preparedness, in other words, is both offensive and defensive. It’s about capturing upside opportunities as much as it is about managing downside risks. Maybe your doom-and-gloom scenarios aren’t as dark as you think.

The Problem Is Not the Method

The problem is the lack of accountability in transmitting and receiving an interpretive tradition. Institutional "integralism" would have even less success in obtaining results, because integralists wouldn't be given positions of power to begin with.

If you find yourself saying things like this, maybe it’s time to rethink the reliability of the method itself:

With the arrest of @JimmyLaiApple in HK today, it seems appropriate to highlight this excellent interview with him by @littleredpods a couple of months ago, in which he accurately foretold the awful consequences of the Security Law. https://t.co/PHR5VdRP7j

To understand the significance of @appledaily_hk and how China controls Hong Kong’s press, look at the front page of 13/11/2019.

Very cool. In "The Murder of Jesse James", an episode of the TV series Timeless (season one, episode 12).

S. Trifkovic on the Atomic Bombings

The decisive factor in Japan's decision to surrender was the Soviet entry into the war and the Japanese elite's fear of Soviet influence. The enduring myth of the effectiveness of the atomic bombs, however, birthed the ideology of deterrence.https://t.co/s4njYRO6pj

Pope Francis on Faith

Having faith means keeping your heart turned to God, to His love, to His Fatherly tenderness, amid the storm. Jesus wanted to teach this to Peter and the disciples, and also to us today (Mt 14:22-33). #GospelOfTheDay

— Pope Francis (@Pontifex) August 9, 2020

It looks good but is it what St. Paul means by pistis? Should the scholastic account of faith as a theological virtue of the intellect that is nonetheless motivated by an act of the will be modified?

"E.F. Schumacher was right: small is beautiful. On that score, conservative stewardship should include an emphasis on localism, craftsmanship, and the principle of subsidiarity." https://t.co/n58ZTDy2is

I agree with the excerpt but I think subsidiarity needs to be re-thought.
