As much as I enjoyed reading your thoughts on 'Twin Peaks', even more did I appreciate observing how you come to understand the underpinnings of Lynch's work. I was never attracted to view the series, deeming it too obtuse and dark. Your considered delving in to the underlying dynamics and currents at play has shifted my level of interest, mostly because you have elucidated its relevancy to our present lived-life and the unseen formative forces at play. Kudos to you Mister Dugin. Well done, sir. (Krys)

Le opere di David Lynch entrano nella mente per rimanerci per molto tempo, come un tarlo. Solo nella notte, nei sogni, negli incubi i suoi film si possono capire, perché li rispecchiano.

I would love to read Mr. Dugin's explanation of the movie BLUE VELVET. I've watched it three times and it seems like an acid trip with no guide.

A lesser-known Chinese philosopher https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yang_Zhu argued that when everybody minds their own business, the world will be at peace. The real world is far from that simple. His theory cannot handle the current problems in the USA. When the government or media infringes on somebody's freedom, one has to treat that as one's own business, because it could be me being prosecuted tomorrow. But this is still a far cry from "the burden of the White". The former performs public good for ultimate personal welfare, the latter merely puts a saintly coat over brutal imperialism. One has the right to resuscitate a bird fallen off a tree, but there is no guarantee of a successful resuscitation, nor is there a moral obligation. Although individuals could be living "on the verge of the abyss", as long as their public behavior is compliant with laws and orders and presents no interference to other people, I think we should leave them alone. But I am not going to pay taxes to support their lifestyles or whatever rights they claim to have.
