"In order to create itself Europe requires a unity of political decision-making. But this European political unity cannot be built on the national Jacobin model if it does not want to see the richness and diversity of all European components disappear. It can also not result from the economic supra-nationality dreamt by Brussels technocrats. Europe can only create itself in terms of a federal model, but a federal model which is the vehicle for an idea, a project, a principle, i.e., in the final analysis, an imperial model."

— Alain de Benoist, "The Idea of Empire"

*Death is meaningful to us in life.

Thus, since at some point I will cease to be, no manner of living can achieve the fulfilling, meaningful life, since no way of living will permit me to continue in the world.

This, contends Heidegger, should shatter any illusion that mere norm-following might be the right way to live.

Thus, in the face of our inevitable death we are brought to reject our reliance on cultural norms as the eudaimon way to be, and to take responsibility for our own selves.

In anticipating death I reject ‘the they’ and take responsibility for myself: I become authentic.

The knowledge that our lives will end brings with it the joy of the realisation that our choices about our way of being matter.*

Don Crewe, Existentialist Criminology
