This Is the Age of Regress

It was a long, slow road towards civilization. Now we’re sliding backwards, regressing towards a new era of the Dark Ages. Islam, wokeness, and communism find continuous victories on all fronts in the war to destroy the Western world—monuments of Western civilization are conquered daily while the people cheer. Like we were warned, those who don’t know the past are condemned to repeat it, and if one were to look at the life of Sir Isaac Newton and the history of calculus, one would see a reverberation in the destruction of knowledge we see today.

Sir Isaac Newton, who lived from 1643–1727, may have been the greatest genius in the history of mankind—he never married, and inventing calculus was impressive too. Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz came up with calculus independently and right around the same time, late 17th century. This seems to indicate that the age was right for it; yet the people were not fully ready for it. Much like evolution is still controversial 164 years after Charles Darwin first theorized on it, calculus was at the cutting edge of what the times were willing to accept; it was even considered heretical.

Newton was born in the medieval world, at the very start of the Dark Ages slowly giving way to the Enlightenment. It was a time when witches and demons were believed to plague humanity, when the wisest of men sought the philosopher’s stone. In the world in which Newton was born, heretics were put to death in Europe just like in Islamic countries today—one need look no further than the cases of Giordano Bruno, a Dominican friar and mathematician, or Galileo Galilei, who recanted his beliefs under threat of torture and death, spending the rest of his life under house arrest.

Newton the Occultist

Newton was a pioneering early scientist, but he was also a medieval sorcerer.

Newton created calculus, discovered the laws of motion and gravitation, and invented the reflecting telescope. His accomplishments were even more remarkable considering he was an occultist, his real interest. Most of his body was planted in the middle ages. He just dipped his toes into the science which would become a new lens through which to view the world, a science that would not fully appear during his lifetime.

Newton was an avid alchemist, as his goal was to find the “philosopher’s stone.” This stone, which was said to turn base metals into gold and extend life, was supposedly given by God to Adam and passed down through the biblical patriarchs, giving them their extremely long lifespans, and was sought by the most learned men since at least 300 AD. Newton believed the Bible contained hidden prophecies, which he believed he deciphered thanks to his mathematical skill, proving to his satisfaction that the apocalypse would be between 2060 and 2090.

Newton had to keep his work in alchemy a secret, because it was banned in England from 1404 to 1689 under penalty of death—banned not because it was thought not to work, but because the Crown believed the philosopher’s stone existed, and in the “wrong” hands, an alchemist would be able to manufacture gold, and so devalue the gold possessed by the crown.
