[edit]

I just wrote a stub of an introduction for this article, but not really knowing anything about the subject I really couldn't contribute much. I'll post a request at the Oswald Spengler article's talk page, hopefully someone can expand it a bit. —Elipongo (Talk contribs) 17:48, 28 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Political epochs

[edit]

Is this unfinished? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.213.22.193 (talk) 19:25, 30 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Arabian epoch

[edit]

In the article The Decline of the West the Arabian epoch includes Jewish culture starting from ca. 400 BCE. In this article the dating of the Spiritual Epoch implies is that it starts with Christianity. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.101.177.4 (talk) 22:43, 28 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The Prolegomenon

[edit]

What is this Prolegomenon section? Is it all original research (and potentially Anti-Semitic at that) or an objective relaying of the content of Spengler's writings? I question whether it should be in this article. Ben Ammi (talk) 13:42, 26 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Edit: Turns out it's all original research and anti-Semitic cliches, and will be deleted. Ben Ammi (talk) 07:52, 28 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The Prolegomenon

[edit]

The user 97ytkljgg789 needs to stop spamming this page with his anti-Asian, anti-Semitic "Prolegomenon" OR. Does Wikipedia endorse his racism and unverifiable, un-encyclopaedic speculation ? If not, then delete it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ben Ammi (talkcontribs) 13:47, 29 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

97ytkljgg789, why are you repeatedly adding this to the article? It's awful. I suggest you read WP:SYNTHESIS and WP:COATRACK. bobrayner (talk) 06:16, 30 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProphecies: Wikipedia claims the world will undergo "an electrical breakdown" in 2014

[edit]

As it stands, the Prolegomenon to this article claims to prophesy the future, hardly an encyclopaedic thing to do: "In the end of 2014 AD, the synergy of new debt will decrease to zero, at which moment the world will undergo an electrical breakdown—an instantaneous tunnelling to a more negative energy state."''

So is this a fact or not? If so, I'd like some verification and sources - furthermore I'd like sources for all these claims, that Wikipedia is currently making to the world in its Prolegomenon section to Spengler's Civilization Model:

"Women like pink; Mongoloid flags (Japan, China, Vietnam) are red; sunrise (the spring of the day) is red"

"Men like blue; the Jewish flag is blue; midnight (the winter of the day) is blue ("No brown after six")"

"The redshiftedness of the Mongoloids and the blueshiftedness of the Jews imply that they are the broad Epimethean and narrow Promethean parts of the same funnel-shaped gravity well:"

"Being such blueshifted fallen angels, men are Promethean (future-minded, goal-oriented) mentally and Mephistophelean (spaghettified, serpentine, penile) corporeally."

"Cerebrotonia is the predominance of nervous tissue, which is "cosmopolitan"—interconnected encapsulated groups (ganglia) of neurons ("Jewish communities") reside in all organs ("countries") and orchestrate them into a single organism"

"Infantile (feminine, rural, Mongoloid) brain: Predominance of gray matter (the neuronal cell bodies and their dendrites, the short protrusions that communicate with immediately neighbouring neurons in the brain)."

"Adult (masculine, urban, Jewish) brain: Predominance of white matter (the axons that reach out from neurons to more distant regions of the brain; since an axon is insulated with myelin, it is "Aspergian"—alienated from its immediate surroundings)."''

Are all these crazy claims actually verifiable facts ? I doubt it. But this guy keeps reposting this stuff again and again, spamming Wikipedia and making a mockery of the "online encyclopedia." — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ben Ammi (talkcontribs) 14:41, 30 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

And I've blocked that editor for breaking 3RR after being warned. Dougweller (talk) 18:09, 30 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Is there a good reason for this to exist?

[edit]

With the bizarre WP:FRINGE "prolegomenon" and other commentary removed, the content just comprises a long copy & paste from a primary source. Can anyone give a good reason why it shouldn't be redirected? Or should the sockpuppets rule? bobrayner (talk) 18:47, 18 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
