Voltaire – the fake antidote to Rousseau He is the most entertaining man of the eighteenth century and the most seductive trap in Western intellectual history. He seems like the cure for Rousseau. He is the other half of the disease. 1. Where Rousseau is emotional, Voltaire is rational. Where Rousseau weeps over the noble savage, Voltaire mocks. He is the master of devastating wit, precise irony, surgical ridicule. Candide dismantles every naive optimism in ninety pages with the efficiency of a guillotine – which is fitting, since the guillotine is partly what his work made possible. 2. His great weapon is mockery. Écrasez l’infâme – crush the infamous, meaning the Church, tradition, inherited authority. He crushed it. With wit, elegance, and devastating precision. He was right that the Church was corrupt, that the aristocracy was parasitic, that the old order was indefensible in many of its particulars. Being right about what to demolish is not the same as knowing what to build. 3. Voltaire is the demolition crew without an architecture firm. He tears down, magnificently. He offers no replacement – only rubble, and the advice to cultivate your garden. Private. Disengaged. The conclusion of Candide: after every horror, every injustice, every system failure – grow vegetables. This is not wisdom. This is elegant surrender dressed as philosophy. 4. His irony is a solvent. It dissolves corruption, yes – but it dissolves everything, including the things worth keeping. A civilization marinated in Voltairean irony learns to mock every claim to authority, every appeal to tradition, every invocation of duty. This feels like freedom. It is actually vulnerability – a society that has learned to be ironic about everything is defenseless against the person who believes something earnestly enough to act on it. Robespierre was not ironic. He was a true believer. He won. 5. Rousseau gave the revolutionary the emotional fuel: the pure victim, the corrupt oppressor, the righteous rage of nature against civilization. Voltaire provided the intellectual solvent: he dissolved the legitimacy of every institution that might have contained that rage. Together they cleared the ground completely. Robespierre arrived and found no Church, no tradition, no inherited authority with enough credibility to resist him. He simply moved into the vacuum and filled it with the General Will and the guillotine. 6. And when he wasn’t playing "champion of liberty", he was on the payroll of kings, literally. He spent years at Frederick the Great’s court and corresponded adoringly with Catherine the Great, flattering both in print as enlightened monarchs of the age. While he was writing these letters, Frederick and Catherine were carving up Poland – dismembering a European nation, erasing it from the map and subjugating an entire people in one of the great crimes of the eighteenth century. Voltaire knew. He didn’t care. Écrasez l’infâme — crush the infamous — unless the infamous is paying well and lives in a palace in Berlin or St. Petersburg. 7. The contemporary Voltaire is everywhere: the late night host who dismantles everything with devastating wit and proposes nothing. The enlightened cynic who sees through every institution, trusts nothing, builds nothing, and considers this sophistication – while cashing checks from the very system he mocks. The fake antidote doesn’t kill you. It leaves you without defenses when the real disease arrives. Rousseau is the fire. Voltaire is the man who dismantled your fireplace and called it progress – and then went to warm himself at the tsar’s. Together they produced the French Revolution, with the Terror, and the template for every ideological catastrophe that followed. The most dangerous intellectual partnership in Western history wasn’t a conspiracy. It was two men who despised each other and destroyed the same thing from opposite ends, leaving the ground perfectly prepared for those who came after them with a plan.

Alex Karp is right. There is a deep nihilism among European elites to an extent European citizens would find shocking. The shopkeeper, the farmer, and the car mechanic think there will be an England or a Poland in 2100; the university professor, journalist, and prime minister does not.

This is not the truth. It is easy to verify the facts. As of today, the so-called “affected users” are limited to the jurisdictions where Binance has chosen to implement these restrictions: Italy, Spain, France, Poland, Belgium, and Sweden. Users in the rest of the EEA can still sign up, deposit, and trade. Binance appears to have chosen to ignore ESMA’s public statements and prioritize its business interests over regulatory compliance. This raises an important question about the consistent application of MiCA across the EEA and how cross-border compliance expectations should be enforced.

Temperatures have soared across Europe this week with Lithuania and the Czech Republic seeing new all-time temperature records. Poland also recorded what could be its hottest day ever

JUST IN: NOT ALL the residents of the EU will have their account restricted on @binance after 1st of July. Only those residing in a jurisdiction where Binance is providing services through a local registered entity, like in France, Italy, Spain, Poland, Belgium or Sweden. THE REST of the countries should be ok for now, at least according to their customer support.

USAID was a criminal organization that funded bioweapons, censorship & global coups with your tax dollars. It was never about helping the poor. It was a viper’s nest of radical-left corruption, waste, and anti-America operations. • $53 MILLION funneled to EcoHealth Alliance for gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab - research that created COVID-19 • Pushed censorship laws across Europe and pressured advertisers to boycott any media that wasn’t left-wing • Funded Smartmatic election systems + color revolutions to interfere in foreign governments (including Poland’s PiS) • Threatened Sen. Joni Ernst with lawsuits when she tried to audit their books • Approved $6 million+ in recent shady contracts (including $1.2M to Deloitte for “HR services”) while massively overcharging taxpayers for circumcisions worldwide USAID was a Deep State slush fund.
