Any patrician should reflexively dislike whatever becomes too widely known.

The masses try and emulate those above them, those at the top foster different tastes to those below them. Constantly hunting for more obscure and inaccessible authors and disparaging what the midwits are only now getting around to is exactly what having elite taste is all about.

Not-being an NPC consists in thinking on your own and reaching own conclusions, not in blind negation of everything popular. You are just as controlled by other people's opinions, they just affect you in the opposite direction, NPC.

He despised the way atheism and nihilism was steering culture and he also came to hate leftists and also blamed liberals for enabling them and allowing them to flourish

he predicted how shallow and vulgar things would become as well as what communism would look like with pinpoint accuracy
