Civilization is collapsing in slow motion. You can see it in the eyes of men who’ve forgotten what they are, in the language stripped of meaning, in the rituals of consumption and distraction that pass for purpose. Most feel it but can’t name it. Some try to fight it, screaming into the void. Others pretend it isn’t happening, hiding behind comfort and convenience. But Julius Evola named it clearly. He called this age the Kali Yuga — the dark age of dissolution. His command w

It’s common today to see people run from adversity. Few face it, and even fewer embrace it. Those who do gain what the others never will: wisdom, strength, and meaning. Without adversity, there is no triumph. Without triumph, there is no purpose. The man who avoids hardship also avoids growth. You need adversity because it’s the proving ground of the mind. So why does everyone try to escape it? Because the mind resists discomfort. It seeks ease. It hides from pain. That resis
