On Tradition

One of my favorite places to the internets has become a Twitter feed from Wrath of Gnon. I don't have a Twitter Feed, but I read a few feeds and I found this one through link following. It took me a while to get him, and a lot of his stuff is over my head, but if nothing else there are great pictures.

Best way to describe is he is an Architectural-based Traditionalist who values the old folkways. He has some good stuff posted in the last few days. Most here should enjoy his posts on 17th Century Dutch bookstores just a few posts from the top.

Mindful of the discussion we had here on Tradition a few days ago, this one seems timely.

Given the pace of change in our world, I strongly doubt that many remaining questions qualify as "enduring." --Bob

You need to get a Twitter feed and follow Silver Screen Videos.

That's a very sad and rather nihilistic, or uninformed, perhaps,statement. The older I get plus c'est la meme. There is superficial change but questions remain the same.

I am more or less progressive, and love to try new things, and willing to change laws and whatnot.

But I love baseball, which is all about doing a slow thing the same way we did it a hundred years ago.

So yeah, we all have inconsistencies.

I am very conservative, but I love to try new things, and willing to change laws and whatnot.

And I love baseball, which is all about doing a slow thing the same way we did it a hundred years ago.

So yeah, we all have commonalities. :D
