Welcome
Guilds is a community-driven platform for discussion with minimal algorithmic manipulation — not one built to maximize engagement. It includes discussions, photos, questions, and long-form articles styled as “Manuscripts.”
Longer term, Guilds is built toward decentralized community governance and self-sustaining operation — a free speech ecosystem where individual guilds set their own standards rather than one central authority.
Truly gorgeous architecture and artwork. A resurgence of Art-Deco is badly needed. "They proved that it was possible to produce beauty in life by surrounding life with beauty. They discovered that symmetrical bodies were built by souls continuously in the presence of symmetrical bodies; that noble thoughts were produced by minds surrounded by examples of mental nobility. Conversely, if a man were forced to look upon an ignoble or asymmetrical structure it would arouse within him a sense of ignobility which would provoke him to commit ignoble deeds. If an ill-portioned building were erected in the midst of a city there would be ill-portioned children born in that community; and men and women gazing upon the asymmetrical structure. Would live inharmonious lives. Thoughtful men of antiquity realized that their great philosophers were the natural products of aesthetic ideals of architecture, music, and art established as the standards of cultural systems of time." - Manly P. Hall
