Written by a Latin from a Latin Perspective

Would The Lamp Magazine be willing to publish an essay by an Eastern Catholic that disagreed with what Latins take to be dogma? If not, then the magazine shouldn't label itself "A CATHOLIC JOURNAL OF LITERATURE, SCIENCE, THE FINE ARTS, ETC." but "A Roman Catholic Journal."

“As far as I know neither I nor anyone else has any criticism of John Paul I.” One of many great lines in this timely piece from the first issue, now out from the paywall of @thelampmagazine https://t.co/OVPjugo4oA

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.

Small is Beautiful

"Sages and wise people through history have preached the importance of simplicity, or simple living, and appreciating that, as E.F. Schumacher put it, ‘small is beautiful’."

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:

How we recruit, how we educate/train, & how we employ our forces must be aligned along a single identity & culture...it's all linked & all matters.

We can't expect to recruit folks with a cool-guy photo and expect them to suddenly be adaptive innovators, problem solvers, etc. https://t.co/eiX5eW7ZGG
