Modern beauty |
Sunday – December 14, 2025

In my post on the topic of beauty, I made it clear that most modern forms and varieties of beauty represent a corrupted and really diseased form of beauty: I like to think of modern beauty as a form of pleasurable hatred at the destruction of the world. What I mean by this is that modern men celebrate the destruction of true beauty and extol the imposition of corruption, and I do believe that corruption is a good way of seeing ugliness in the world. Why do modern men value anti-beauty? Well, before I answer this question I'd like to further refine my definition of beauty: beauty is fundamentally effortless; beauty does not require further intervention or input, and if something requires a vast overhaul then you are not dealing with beauty. Indeed, most modern beauty ideals are really constructed around something artificial. What makes a woman beautiful in the year of our lord 2025? All sorts of products that make her appear as artificial and as inscrutably similar among other women as possible. Is this beauty? No, this is no kind of beauty! This is the very opposite of beauty, and the same applies to civilization itself: most houses and great buildings that are constructed in modern times are on purpose made ugly. Yes, just as most cities are ugly, life in the city is ugly. But people accept this and they even believe that beauty is ugly. Al though, I do need to add that I believe most people, even many beast, do have the ability to understand true beauty, and this really goes to the nature of quality: most men understand quality on a profound and really esoteric level, but most men are unable to express clearly in a material sense what quality is, but without quality you cannot truly have beauty. Of course, this false sense of beauty has led many people, especially young and impressionable people, to vastly and insane conclusions about beauty: yes modern beauty perpetuates mental illness. In a very real sense you have to be mentally ill to be fine in the modern world, but when everyone around you is mentally ill, it becomes almost impossible to not fall down that same rabbit hole yourself. But to answer that initial question: modern men value anti-beauty because their world is anti-beauty, and with anti-beauty they feel secure and serene in their own misapprehensions about the nature of the world. But I also believe that some modern men are so depraved and diseased that they get pleasure from destroying those artifacts and qualities in the world that are fundamentally good and a source for light; you can see this really all around if you look carefully, some men just want to burn everything to the ground. Of course, some modern men are more refined than that: some of them simply want to completely forget about the past and burn every bridge and every insight into the old world, and in order for them to conquer the world and your mind they need to tear down beauty. This is also a sign of our times, the Kali Yuga, and most proponents of the humanist axiom would like you to believe the enormous lie that everything is equally beautiful and that your insight is a form of oppression. Why are some things more beautiful than others? Because some aspects of the world reveal the hidden truth, they act to preserve the light on Earth, and these artifacts have to be destroyed, and this is the essential reason for modern civilization to completely destroy the old world. Indeed, this is an epic and cosmic fight, but at the close of this era, the Kali Yuga, the scales of the celestial order will be put into proper balance, they will be forced to cast out from this realm all disease and corruption. Verily, modern men are deserving of God's divine vengeance. In the meantime beauty will be forced to decline and degenerate, this condition necessitates it.

    What about the ugly aspects of the world? Well, there are surely many different ways to deal with ugliness, but always keep in your mind that you detect ugliness and anti-beauty for a reason. From a material point of view even many scientists would argue that you have adapted to avoid ugly things, and for good reasons. From a metaphysical point of view I believe that those things that deserve to be marked as ugly serve a purpose: yes they ugliness serves to continually remind you about the need to uphold righteousness in the world and in your own life; but ugliness also serves to show that there truly is no such thing as egalitarianism, and that in this fight you cannot allow the serpent to manipulate you. I do also want to address the fact that beauty within individuals is not evenly spread out: first and foremost you don't have to focus on "inequality", because doing so is more often than not just a way to create more problems for yourself and for other people; secondly physical aesthetics tend to reflect the way a person choose to lead their life, and more often than not this means that people are temporally ugly and this is really a phase in their life when they are particularly diseased, i.e. obesity, and this ugliness serves that very cosmic purpose, it's really a call that should be meant to encourage a chance, to encourage an act that will balance the scales of the celestial order. Lastly, some people claim that beauty can be essential and that some people are fundamentally more beautiful than others and this is true, and this means and should be interpreted to mean that those more beautiful people are less likely from their fundamental constitution to fall for the serpent. But I also want to add this: many beautiful people act on behalf of the serpent, and their beauty is maintained in order to manipulate you. Overall, yes physical beauty can be seen as a sign of someone's character, but often physical and outwardly beauty will fail to reflect someone's character, and this is primarily due to artificial products that uphold this false beauty. Again, true beauty is natural and requires no intervention: these photo models and most people in public life are not truly beautiful, they serve the serpent.
