WE KEEP RETRYING TO RESTATE MONOPOLY CHRISTIANITY – WHEN THAT’s THE PROBLEM IN AND OF ITSELF

I see is an attempt to state the via-negativa of natural law as a via-positiva moral norm. Which is important, as incentives, because we all like to feel good about ourselves, and congratulate ourselves on moral actions, and create a cycle of positive reinforcement for doing so. So it’s nice to have a via-positiva method of pedagogy because learning the negative (what not to do) does not inspire us with options (opportunities) and it is opportunities for action that we all seek. It is only judges that seek opportunities to prevent and resolve conflicts. Hence science and law on the via-negativa, and history, literature, myth, religion, occult, and pseudoscience and god knows what else on the other end.

The only thing I know how to do is work back from transcendence and create room for many via-positivas for each ‘class’ of ability or each ‘age’ of maturity, while preserving the via negativa so that every narrative contains a competition. I think this is the problem between modern moral systems of thought and the ancient: being in competition with the gods demons is a good thing. Monopoly via-positiva, no matter how comforting seems to lead to universal disaster no matter where it is applied.

The only reason china isn’t still superior to the west is that the mongols hit them at just the wrong time. But you can’t say that about any other group in the world. only two got it right. And europeans and chinese both got it right.

But the ancients got it most right. We are just now, despite our near defeat by the second abrahamiazation of the west under jewish marxism and french postmodernism, restoring the intellectual condition Rome was in in 100AD – without our sciences and technology.
