ITS NOT JUST STOICISM, ITS THE ENTIRE WESTERN CORPUS.

During the age of transformation the westerners were running individual farms, by extended families, and ruled by a professional warrior aristocracy – today’s “business owners”.

In this age of transformation, Westerners discovered:

– objective truth and judgment, testimony, jury, senate

– debate, reason, and the precursor to science: empiricism

– common law, contractualism, a prohibition on negatives.

– the heroic myths and legends as positive mythos.

– celebrations, plays, and rituals as civic religion.

In other words they never made the conflationary errors of competing civilizations that combined rule and religion, religion and law, positive claims with negative prohibitions. Where the Babylonians and Egyptians created political monopolies, and where the jews created one book, and the Hindus created one narrative, the Chinese a rational monopoly state as an extended family, and the west “a calculator of innovation”.

Conflation has led other civilizations to stagnation, and the attempt for example, of the cosmopolitans (and cultural marxists) to reconflate utopian religion and pseudoscience into moral rather than empirical law, has cost us a century and almost cost us our civilization.

SO WHY DOES THAT MATTER?

The same conflationary error is true for the methods of conflating mindfulness (individual), mysticism(pseudoscience), and mythology(explanation).

in the west we did NOT conflate:

personal mental discipline (emmpirical stoicism)

the common law (empirical ethics)

philosophy (rational virtues)

mythology (mythical ideals)

natural civic religion( ritual, feast, celebration)

In other words: nothing was a lie.

SO LET’S COMPARE THIS STACK TO THE OTHERS

Japanese ritual

Japanese ancestor worship

‘family’ law (confucius failed to solve the problem of politics)

Chinese Confucianism (upper), Lao Tzu (lower), Buddhism (escapism)

Natural Civic Celebrations

These are ALMOST as ‘true’ except for Buddhism and the fact that the Chinese could not solve the problem of politics (the Han have the same problem as we ‘Aryans’ but they admit it, we don’t). So they were stuck with monopoly. They view their period of consolidation as an achievement without understanding that the warring states, just as each ‘long war’ in europe created a revolution in knowledge and understanding.

NOW COMPARE TO THE MIDDLE EASTERNERS

Egyptian, Babylonian, Judaism, Christianity, … you get the idea.

It is a monopolistic, authoritarian, conflationary, set of such amazing lies and deceits that it is unbelievable that humans fall for it OTHER than that we are so susceptible to environmental overloading of our reason. We are more dependent upon imitation and compatibility with others than we are on reason and evidence. WE are still mimics.

NOW COMPARE TO MODERNITY

Boazian, Marxist, Freudian, FrankfurtSchool pseudoscience.

Postmodern deception.

How many various techniques for finding excuses for mindfulness?

How desperate our people for family and tribal information sharing?

We have television-families, we live alone in boxes – we have replaced interpersonal validation and reality-checks with consumer purchases and store-bought-identities, and virtue signal spirals.

Feminism, individualism,…. yet 40% of women are on anti-depressants, men are committing suicide in droves over 50, we have a tragic birth rate, and our civilization is being stolen from underneath us.

What is the difference between selling the Chinese boatloads of heroin, and the import of discount consumer goods that allow us naturally produced endorphine fallacies? There isn’t any.

I could go on at length, but the point is stoicism is to personal philosophy and personal religion what science is to epistemology, what the common law is to social order, what history is to literature, what philosophy is to religion.

Stoicism was as important an invention as science.

And those bastards killed it and forced Christianity upon us on purpose – to enslave the ignorant and the women, and the slaves, to rally against the aristocracy, and to surrender themselves to the bureaucracy.

There is not enough room in hell for those people, and there is no way to compensate humanity for the damage taht they have done.

IF hell needs an expansion we certainly can put the socialists, postmodernists, feminists, and pseudoscientists down there enough to force overcrowding. 😉
