ON FRAUDULENT HISTORICISM (READ THIS)
One Of The Most Important Bits You Can Ever Read:
(from elsewhere- similarities between christianity and mithraism)
The author’s argument uses a methodology called Pilpul (from theology) one technique of which is to construct differences from distinctions – and does not use the methodology used by technological and economic historians, following current scientific method, which is that information spreads exhaustively and is applied to opportunities by all groups that have identified an opportunity to make use of it.
The fact of the matter is that at the axis of african-eurasian trade routes the pastoralist underclasses and their teachers sought wisdom literature (normative rules) using information from every available religion in a time of rapid change, when the predominance of the homeric epic (the trial of Achilles) filled all the libraries of the Greco-Roman world. The old world’s obsession with Homer equals the Islamic obsession with Muhammed, and medieval with Jesus. Hence why christians closed the stoic schools, then Christians first and Muslims second destroyed everything that addressed those narratives.
The spreading wealth that disrupted social orders but enabled the underclasses sent them searching for justificationary narratives just as our labor force did under Marx/Freud/Boaz (pseudoscience) in the 19th century and our literary and female classes have under Postmodernism(pseudo-rationalism) in the 20th, just as islamists are doubling down on fundamentalism in the late 20th to early 21st: to preserve local status hierarchies and political rent seeking in the face of change.
The texts were produced the way scripts are today, and marxism was in the previous century, like a game of telephone where a storyteller with the best story gets status and attention for it. History without exposition of underlying incentives produced by the expansion of social, economic, political, and military markets for status is not historicism, but Mythology.
There is absurdly obvious similarity between these religions (fantasy moral literature), because all peoples of the high competition, low trust, and high population density in the levant made use of all available technology to create a replacement for the aristocratic mythos’ (Roman, Persian, and Egyptian – the levantine-north-african is lost to us.
*Among low trust pastoralists unable to develop high-cost, high-trust martial and agrarian ethics of homogenous peoples, expensive rituals that often require recitation of falsehoods (belief) and attendant mythology function as do States and Borders that resist invasion and resist defection.*
If you understand these simple principles you will understand the levantine origins of authoritarian religion and consequently why far east, india, and far west developed rapidly in isolation and the levant stagnated and declined after the arab conquest and the abrahamic dark age that followed, and th 500M deaths that resulted in the old world and the 100M deaths from communism in the modern world was the greatest crime in history.
The Abrahamic dark age was the worst catastrophe in human history, second only to the great plagues and diseases, and ever-present malaria. And we are still dragging humanity kicking and screaming one civilization at a time, out of that dark age – at tragic cost to western civilization.
