But it isn't, on both accounts. Let's put this in linguistics terms: a referent or sign loses its semanticity if its language community stops using it (in the semiotic world this is simulacra). We cannot regain this meaningfulness, however we can still see that it used to exist and might have been important by deduction. This is the state of modern conservatism. We lack anything that we can hold on to, but we remember that we used to hold on to principles and worldviews. Liberalism is not a worldview, it is the corrosion of worldview. So we create fake conservatism to keep up appearances, but if you look at its core something prevalent througout all of human history was lost as soon as we entered the stagnant liberal narrative. A thing can't be contextual if it lost its ability to exist.

We will not find the origin. Writing lacks the ability to chronical the sublimity of our essence. Instead we must find comfort in the fact that our essence and its origin lie beyond the empiricism with which we hope to approach it.
