Re: The cost of knowledge


With all due respect to all involved here, it may as well be pointed out that in
the last days
of the kali yuga all esoteric information is open for all to see. Evola made
this clear if
anybody [this I would imagine is "riding the tiger"].
Even the very fact that there are free published texts in the website
Evola_as_he_is testifies
to this phenomenon. The first record of western copyright involved two Irish
monks going
to war over a biblical manuscript. The bible hardly being an original work in
the first place.
Of course it may as well be said that the written word itself is an abomination
of divine
law.

The above is no call for democracy on my behalf but simply just another sign of
the
decadent age we live in .

We were not referring to books now out of copyright, but exclusively to 'Men Among The Ruins', which was published a few years ago. You are right, some rare...
