Probably more than ever than in history? The new generations are growing up with so much information at their disposal, never mind the population growth itself. I think the problem is visibility especially at this point, the saturation of creators and masters has gotten massive and isn't stopping its exponential growth at this point. One caveat is that with more people being able to do a bunch of things the bar is set higher, but I don't feel like that alone is doing much. People seemed to have accommodated by spreading themselves thin between many, courtesy of Twitter

There will be no renaissance men until the Zoomers start maturing. Great men only come about at times of crisis, especially those of philosophical standing. Hegel was right when he said that 'philosophy comes at the end of an epoch and is able to understand it', and we are only just phasing toward the death knells of this age. Lynch, Glover, Bannon and all the other hilarious mentions here don't come close to the true artists to come. Our Da Vinci awaits.

The boomers of the 60s did, in many ways, actually have their own Renaissance, in the hippie movement, the rise of rock music, psychedelic culture, social movements like that of the events in France at the end of that decade, and many many others. The world did, in fact, come very close to complete Armageddon several times, and was only narrowly avoided on the nuclear front basically because of luck. The boomers of the 60s weren't faced with any economic crisis either, because the neoliberal reforms of Thatcher, Reagan and the like managed to save them for a brief moment, but it's only going to make the coming crash more terrible. The whole 'well people have thought things would get shit before' argument is naive to the extreme. People have indeed thought things would get shit before, and those people included the late Romans, the late Germans, the late Ottomans, the late Byzantines and they include us.

Anon, I think for the men of this board, focus on living life to the fullest, practising your craft and searching for the deeper meaning in life. Cushy jobs and inner city apartments with modern furniture are only really a distraction from reality anyway. I would pick through the Bible, the Bhagavad Gita and other spiritual books not just for their literary quality but the guiding principles behind them. Embrace nature and the wild chaos of the times, especially now that we have no choice. The removal of the traditional options is damning in one capacity, and will definitely leave our generation open to hunger, suffering and all manner of horrors as the times continue. However, you and I both know it is in fact a time of liberation. Seize the opportunity to follow your heart and spirit now that your ego has been ripped from its ambitions.

in other words, he's a cargo cultist of art who thinks that if you do enough rain dances around jpegs of Titian paintings, that genius will somehow rub off on you and the heroes of the western canon will reach down from Mt Olympus to lift you into the heights

but here's the thing - he will NEVER be able to produce anything, because if he had it in him it would already be coming out by now. He isn't lying about his erudition or level of education - he has that - and the very fact that with all that he can't produce anything, proves the special sauce just isn't there. like what is he doing on twitter every day, "owning" tradcaths and posting lukewarm "poetic" lyrics to sculptures or paintings by old masters. Nothing he says is truly funny or alive or interesting. His relation to the meme culture is completely parasitic, he contributes nothing but stale pedantry and weird insecure posturing: he tries to bully and intimidate the very people he feeds off of. Weak, barren, impotent soul.

His philosophical interests don't match his critiques either. He says Deleuze and Foucault are some of this favorite philosophers, yet acts in a way that is the opposite of their aesthetic positions. He shits a lot on bad art that is often folk and popular art. There's a part in D&G's ATP where they talk about some creative line of flights originating from folklore, folk culture, and bands of affective outsiders. Look at hip hop for an example of this. Uly likes to talk up certain hip hop artists, which is fine and something I agree with him on, but the artform originated as street folklore from packs of affective outsiders (poor black guys in shitty environments). Going after the outsiders and the folk (while also saying he's into organic intellectuals) is actually quite the opposite of what D&G want people to do in creative activities. Deleuze also inverts Nietzsche's claim in Human, All Too Human about the artist's judgment in art. Deleuze wants to get rid of judgment completely and just allow rampant creation and see what arises from it free from constraints. Uly's criticism and behavior doesn't allow art to breathe and give life to new things in the Deleuzean sense. Uly's take on D&G is actually quite shallow and he hasn't internalized their positions. There's also the stuff in Foucault about art being creative lies (something echoed in Nietzsche). I don't particularly like frogtwitter, but going after Kantbot's imaginative takes is also something that is not very Foucault-like.

I don't know, I have a twitter account that follows around 20 "alt right" accounts I check about once a week when I'm bored, but I don't follow Ulysse because of his spam. From what I can tell he's openly hostile towards pretty much every tentpole RW account and spends his days calling them pseuds and hyping up his own libertine lifestyle

Yet herein will I imitate the sun,
Who doth permit the base contagious clouds
To smother up his beauty from the world,
That, when he please again to be himself,
Being wanted, he may be more wonder'd at,
By breaking through the foul and ugly mists
Of vapours that did seem to strangle him.
If all the year were playing holidays,
To sport would be as tedious as to work;
But when they seldom come, they wish'd for come,
And nothing pleaseth but rare accidents.
So, when this loose behavior I throw off
And pay the debt I never promised,
By how much better than my word I am,
By so much shall I falsify men's hopes;
And like bright metal on a sullen ground,
My reformation, glittering o'er my fault,
Shall show more goodly and attract more eyes
Than that which hath no foil to set it off.
I'll so offend, to make offence a skill;
Redeeming time when men think least I will.

I don't follow these guys on Twitter, and I may be wrong, but didn't Ulysse accuse Paul Skallas of plagiarizing him, but then was shown by one of BAP's friends to have almost certainly plagiarized an Atlantic article written by some random Italian professor? The subject was colors in Ancient Greek, which was being discussed in a Nassim Taleb thread.

>>15225717
Everyone knows that, you don't need to go further than Suetonius. At any rate, it is always so easy to refute idealists! All you need is to shown them reality...

Well, Scruton wrote plenty of books in various themes, wrote a couple operas, directed a documentary, had vast knowledge in art and literature, was very much respected in academia and generally was a very smart man. I don't think anyone is quite more fit of being called a renaissance man.

Scruton:

- got a natural sciences scholarship at one of the best universities in the world, even though he lacked daddy's money, solely on the merits of his high grades
- also went to Law school and passed the bar
- could speak or read in several languages, including Latin, German, Czech, even some Farsi
- wrote dozens of books on conservatism, becoming the foremost thinker in the world for an entire tradition of political thought
- wrote dozens of books on other subjects, including architecture, music, hunting and others
- was a hunter and farmer
- wrote operas, songs, and other music
- wrote two novels
- wrote books on the history of philosophy

That's as far as one can get nowadays with the polymath thing.

Only other example I can think of is George Steiner, who also died recently. Steiner had good knowledge of science and worked with Oppenheimer when younger. He also wrote two novels. But he wasn't influential in music, politics, or architecture.

Now you might hate Scruton, you might even scream about foxes and cigarettes, just like I despise Oscar Niemeyer and might scream about curves and alien plates. But I'd never deny Niemeyer's powerful influence on city planning and architecture, because it's not a matter of opinion, but of fact. Same applies for Scruton, as it's undeniable that he influenced many fields.

Is it possible for a person to become a renaissance individual in this day and age? With the dispersion of free information, there is a high distribution of individuals trying to make themselves known while only those of high competence and skill might be considered adept in their actions and as such, be given the opportunity to further excel elsewhere when given greater tools. Simultaneously, the standards to which we give competency or skill to individuals only grows higher, which dedicates an incredible amount of investment. It becomes hard Paul Robeson when there are specialists better than you in what they've considered their life's work.This might have always been true however, but the internet and other large aggregating platforms, in their proclivity for algorithmic promotion, provide the false idea to which anyone might pose to be as proficient as those in the esteemed prophetic tower in which the average Joe might vainly pursue. Again, this might be the simple creation of an surplus of pseudo Jack of All Trades, an obfuscation of the former, as their information and skill is so base, so trivial, but so validating, that it does little but stroke the ego of those that base themselves in their slight superiority of their other competent but terribly mediocre peers.
