Where do intellectual elites hang out? It certainly isn't at universities

Goodreads, I suppose?

Right wing twitter i.e Kantbot and tv kwa

they are all sequestered in labs or in their houses Faustian style, and they never associate with normies.

rym

The alt right, for all its faults, is where all of the intellectual thought is these days. www.altright.com , www.counter-currents.com , www.theoccidentalobserver.net , www.therightstuff.biz are good introductory outfits.

cafes

The 'blogosphere'.

Intellectual elites are often people who have devoted relatively little of their cognitive capacity to socialization, so they tend toward solitude.

intellectual pursuit is dead there is only ideological striving for power

[s4s]

not that guy but jokes aside, yeah. a lot of blogs online are the new intellectual shitpost zones, the entire NRX movement cooked off on Unqualified Reservations (inb4 there are no right wing intellectuals), a lot of mathematics pros operate out of blogs, all the feminist demagogues all reply to each other on their blogs, blogs are it man. In fact the way you can tell if a blog is "serious" is if there are a bunch of famous people writing walls of text in the comments that nobody will ever read kek. Besides universities and circlejerking each other off at bars.

You did not!

logo_daedalus is the most interesting of them all imo, at least when it comes to literature

Right wing and intellectual aren’t compatible

what are some Veeky Forums blogs?

kwa is garbage

that's not riley reid, this girl is prettier and less slutty

Too many far leftists assume this & it's part of the reason they keep losing.

The truth is that the left hasn't had an interesting thought since the seventies if you're really sincere desu, and the interesting thoughts they did have destroyed western society.

Mensa member here.
Its a fucking meme, dont fall for it. Mensa is for middle-aged chess and Sudoku enthuiasts. I was thoroughly dissppointed when i joined and im not going to renew my membership when it expires.

Are there any qts ?

Yes but almost every single one of them is Jewish, unfortunately

>being stupid enough to join in the first place
The ironing.

Looked up Kantbot and found out Macron is patrician as fuck through a retweet:

twitter.com/arisroussinos/status/919206516238028801

Not in my experience, its mostly euphoric middle-aged men.
I just feel really fucking stupid for joining, i can never escape this label of being so insecure about my Intelligence that i joined one the most pseudo-intellectual groups in the World.
Its literally /r/iamverysmart, i feel nauseous just thinking about it.

Sad but true. The lefties are suffocating in their air tight safe spaces.

>The internet.
This.

>Where on the internet?

Veeky Forums has plenty, they just don't participate in all these pseud threads. Fuck you for generalizing.

I used to play TF2 with PhDs I met on poe-news. Reddit has some. I'm sure there are specialized "deep web" forums that have some. Many more are suffering in silence or working on something that will bring in money. They're out there, just decentralized. Like the internet, you big dummy.

What a qt

So let me be thy choir, and make a moan
Upon the midnight hours;
Thy voice, thy lute, thy pipe, thy incense sweet
From swinged censer teeming;
Thy shrine, thy grove, thy oracle, thy heat
Of pale-mouth'd prophet dreaming.

you're not invited

Not too sad. I think the alt right has a good mix and pure intellectualism can only bring in so many. I listened to Kultur Kampf's three-part series on Voltaire and the jews over the last few days and thought it was enthralling, top-notch stuff; hard to find that kind of in-depth intellectual analysis these days.

Jesus Christ those dudes are fucking pseuds.

>Look! He made a reference to a famous philosopher! He's an intellectual just like us ;) EU is safe after all

>hard to find that kind of in-depth intellectual analysis these days

If you're a dipshit and don't know where to look. For fuck's sake, Yale uploads full courses to the internet these days. Fuck your right-wing meme "intellectualism"

I've found it's painfully, painfully difficult to form meaningful relationships in the university system, especially if you're attending a larger university. I don't fully understand it, and I know that I am part of the problem, but I've found it impossible to make friends since moving from a small, liberal arts college to a larger, career-oriented university.
That said, attending seminars, presentations, screenings, etc. is a decent way to meet people as long as you're socially well-adjusted, but not necessarily "intellectuals". You're much more likely to meet people who consider themselves aspiring professionals.

The responses are shit but the interview is interesting:

>Yale uploads full courses to the internet these days
wow, righties btfo. all hail the cathedral, long may it reign!

Jewish Marxism has no intellectual merit.

Generally most intellectuals hang out on Vox Day's blog, Stefan Molyneux's comments, etc.

The only thing Yale is known for these days is confrontations over Halloween costumes.

Ask what events she's planning on going to in the near future and meet her at one and take her out to eat after. Don't let opportunities like that slip by my man.

>that's not riley reid, this girl is prettier and less slutty
she's not prettier, just wearing much more make up

I bet she's just as slutty when she isn't posing in a sweater to appear to idiots who mistake that for innocence

>It certainly isn't at universities.
In my computer. All of the intellectuals live in my computer.

>she's wearing more make-up than a porn 'actress'

muy kek

Do it for the rest of us poor autists, user, and then green text the results so we can live vicariously through you

Kek I read Vox's blog daily and while he's funny and sometimes insightful I can't say the same about his commenters

I have a lot of anxiety, particularly when I'm not in social situations. In a social situation, I'll adapt and be confident - but I basically can't talk to people I've met IRL if it isn't face-to-face. As I missed the event she encouraged me to attend, I've missed an opportunity to talk to her in person. But I'll definitely try to go to the next one.
I'll clarify I'm not necessarily interested in asking her out. I'm interested in making friends, and I'm already interested in another girl (who definitely isn't an "intellectual").

I can't tell whether OP means spaces which are conducive to forming "real" relationships or intellectual communities.

Do you not see the image? There's 5 lbs of makeup on her face.

Disagree. Think it's much easier to find someone verifiably intelligent at university, although there are a lot of the types you describe as well, but the internet is 49% drunk people, 50% racist kids, and 1% people who are smart but probably still talking shit.

>www.altright.com

There's nothing intellectual there, Richard Spencer is a piss poor thinker and none of the authors he has around are any better.

>www.counter-currents.com

Maybe one decent article in a dozen.

>www.counter-currents.com

Actually qualifies, one of the better right wing blogs that isn't pure HBD spergery, Veeky Forums fags will appreciate it.

>www.therightstuff.biz

lolno

Is Vienna still Veeky Forums Jerusalem or did Adolf fuck that up for good?

>Think it's much easier to find someone verifiably intelligent at university,
Intelligence in itself is worthless if it isn't paired with interesting ideas. There are plenty of smart dull people.

>It certainly isn't at universities.
this sentiment is why they'll always avoid you user

Current day Vienna is to intellectualism as current day Paris is to romance.

The rightmost guy doesn't get counted because he's not fully in the cover

nigga chasing hoes.

Is there any city on earth with just a sliver of grandeur left?

Dubai
Singapore
Tokyo

Seoul

Those are all soulless apartment storage-bin wastelands.

their basements

the alt right is a psy-op

I think kind of grandeur you're looking for, the sort of safe, canonical grandeur, is per definition that of a completely finished past, because it can never fully be established while it's still right there to disappoint.

Aren't those basically the peak of artificial living?

Nope, but I understand that you're merely repeating a line kikes use on pol to divide whites and discourage them from pro-white activism.

I just want a place where I can have friends who share a modicum of interest with the things I like and where I can have a comfortable living. I honestly don't know if that's too much to ask

I see that you are quite an enlightened gentlesir *tips

So you want a safespace to circlejerk.

Tell me more user. Did they make you feel uncomfortable?

We're moving towards post-geography culturally, m8, at least in the West, however paradoxical location bound post-geography may sound.

You have to go back.

For the love of god, yes
Being honest though, i dont know. I want to be somewhere where where I can say what I think to people who have any interest in hearing it. Maybe that's a circlejerk, but I'm not saying that people have to agree with me. Just listening is fine

We can be as interconnected as we can, but I don't think anyone can not be lonely without day-to-day interaction with people they can be friends with

I can be friendly with people irl and talk about interesting things online.

It's hard to get all your needs met from one person. And even if you manage it, if you're both not stagnant airheads you will inevitably grow apart within a few years.

But for example, when you wmat to discuss a specific book. Do you just come to Veeky Forums? It's very hard for a thread about a specific book to gain any traction here. Or do you go to another online community?

Also, being friendly with someone is different from you being good friends. I feel I don't have much to share with people outside of literature to actually create a relationship with any depth.

Also, sorry for blogposting, lads

>More intelligent individuals experience lower life satisfaction with more frequent socialization with friends.
It's also intuitively obvious that most historic geniuses were solitary people, especially while producing great works.

I just summarise ideas from books I find interesting so that I can discuss them with people who haven't read the book both irl or online.

I think I've become alienated from all my former good friends desu. In retrospect I'm starting to think friendship is mostly circumstantial and a bit of a meme and over-romanticised in society, almost to the same degree as romantic love.

Maybe it was different in the past, but we're utterly atomised, mobile beings that shift jobs, schools, towns, ideas, jobs, etc. Not many people who post on Veeky Forums still have the traditional 'have the same group of friends all your life, marry a girl from your village, take a local job and grow old and have kids there' kind of life. And even then friendships were not so much based on interests as on circumstance. The idea of associating with people solely out of common interest is a modern metropolitan one and perhaps even an internet one. It assumes the luxury of a large enough pool of people that you can meticulously curate crowds until you find a custom size human for your needs.

nah, just nerds. i'm not going to co-opt this thread to discuss how my low self-esteem precludes the possibility of me asking out women i truly respect, though .:^)

The main issue I have with that is the
>and empathy
part.

If you're talking about STEM aspies, sure, but Veeky Forums spergs typically have an inordinately high capacity for empathy.

Jesus Christ you actually believe this.
