White Pill: I’ve had a thread by my friend - bookmarked to use here for several months, and I think it’s time to put it in. The thread is concerning Sir William Marshal, the first Lord Pembroke.
He served 5 different kings, was undefeated in tournaments, and helped to negotiate the Magna Carta. As I remarked in a section above, I feel like the move away from the Renaissance Man (jack of all trades) and to the “specialist” class has been a massive net-negative for the West as a whole.
I am, however, starting to see signs emerge in the greater consciousness, sentiment, and now physical examples of people beginning to show themselves to be those of many interests & talents, like “the greats” who built the world as we know it.
The current long-form post & pod that I’m working on touches a bit on “the greats and masters” of science and art who would be laughed out of the room by the “respectable consensus-building establishment” of science, academia, and art today...

Telegram has become more interventionist over time, and has steadily increased its efforts to shut down these accounts. But this has also meant that the company has also engaged with lawmakers more generally, although it maintains that it doesn’t do so willingly. For instance, in September 2021, Telegram reportedly blocked a chat bot in support of (Putin critic) Alexei Navalny during Russia’s most recent parliamentary elections. Pavel Durov was quoted at the time saying that the company was obliged to follow a “legitimate” law of the land. He added that as Apple and Google both follow the law, to violate it would give both platforms a reason to boot the messenger from its stores. "For Telegram, accountability has always been a problem, which is why it was so popular even before the full-scale war with far-right extremists and terrorists from all over the world," she told AFP from her safe house outside the Ukrainian capital. Ukrainian forces successfully attacked Russian vehicles in the capital city of Kyiv thanks to a public tip made through the encrypted messaging app Telegram, Ukraine's top law-enforcement agency said on Tuesday. NEWS Under the Sebi Act, the regulator has the power to carry out search and seizure of books, registers, documents including electronics and digital devices from any person associated with the securities market.
