“Q: CURT: HOW DO YOU SQUARE DIVORCE IN THE RELIGIOUS WITH CULTURE IS DOWNSTREAM OF LAW.”
(TL,DR;Pretty easily – the law created the problem when our religon failed to modernize and the marxist-sequence of pseudoscientific lies took root instead)
Divorce is the result of changes in legal policy favoring divorce, by elimination of liability for interference in a marriage, elimination of liability for breaking a marriage with no fault divorce, the institutionalization of marriage theft by the pretense of common property, and the involuntary liability of men for alimony, and especially child support, and priority of women in children in ‘environmental stability’ at the expense of quality of life, re-mating potential, and lifespan men, when given female hypergamy, devotion without loyalty, abortion, the pill, the expansion of the white collar clerical work suitable for women, and the expansion of debt and spending due to women’s clerical work, superiority at redundant or repetitive clerical work, and women’s dominance in household spending, debt accumulation, consumption of government resources (produced by men), and far higher participation in voting – all produce the incentive to NOT engage in the principle purposes of monogamy: (a) reciprocally putting the other person first (b) the economics of the division of labor by sexual specialization (c) and the institution of marriage as an economic necessity that defends the polity from the (horrific and endless) consequences of single motherhood.
(Yes, that is a very long sentence. 😉 )
The Marxist-Leninist-NeoMarxist-Postmodern-Feminist-Libertarian-Neoconservative-Woke Sequence (MLNPFLNW) or just “Marxist sequence” is an attempt (a succesful one) to destroy every institution of western civilization (‘march through the institutions of western cultural production’) and reduce us to middle eastern low trust and tribalism so that we generate demand for authority which the despotic (feminine authoritarian) seek to impose in the vanity that they know better as a class than the people PRODUCE by together by cooperation by the suppression of authority – and like Christianity before it, is spread largely through young and single women as well as outcast undesirable young men.
After all, the Marxist Sequence is just the same feminine strategy applied to jewish separatism and christian slave and muslim tribal revolts converted from supernatural causes to pseudoscientific causes – with the feminine, supernatural, and the pseudoscientific claims nothing more than seduction (baiting into hazard) with the (false) promise of freedom from the four causes of the four laws of the universe (scarcity, self interest, natural selection, and evidentiary truth) – Adam may be the source of bad, but Eve like Pandora is the source of evil. Women must feel victimized to pursue their antisocial instincts. Judaism and Christianity and the Marxist Sequence, especially feminism and woke, claim oppression from what is domestication into responsibility for the self, teh private, and the common – a responsibilty that the feminine disposition evades at all costs.
As for religion the research is clear even if the researchers are fearful of stating the conclusions openly – and instead leaving them only for other professionals to understand: (a) religiosity is a feminine disposition, that requires external reinforcement to suppress natural neuroticism(worry, insecurity), (b) or one that incdreases with one’s reproductive and social undesirability. (c) religious participation as good for children and family is a rational choice. (d) the hierarchy of denominations from fundamentalist to church of england (episcopalians in america) are rough approximations of the IQ distribution. (e) this is why the data is often confusing: participation increases with some basic education and decreases with denomination. It means that simple people benefit most from religion for reasons stated in ‘b’ above, but sophisticated people use religion for it’s external properties such as family, society, and reputation.
About 20-25% of people are psychologically suitable for religion, with that number majority but not exclusively female. Of the males religiosity provides less competent people with greater psychological confidence than their abilities would otherwise grant them (and it works because acting like a christian is the solution to the hard problem of social cooperation).
We should expect religion to continue to drop to that level and only mediate by the oncoing decline in IQ due to reproductive asymmetry and immigration asymmetry between the classes massively increasing the bottom and driving down the average.
Our problem then is modernizing christianity (which does work) into a religion of philosophy (natural law) and a science (natural law) completing the work of Aristotle, Augustine, Aquinas, Darwin and Spencer, by correctly placing Jesus as did Jefferson in his Jefferson Bible as a philosopher speaking in the primitive langauge of the middle east instead of the European, and assisting the primitive people (including women and slaves) in integration into European aristocratic society and economy by demonstrating that they did not need ability, or wealth, or power, but only virtue – by doing no wrong – to produce the common goods the aristocracy produced by their abilities. In other words, jesus gave slaves, the poor, and women and even children a route to status and as a consequence ‘mindfulness’ (peace of mind) that produces extraordinary cooperation within the aristocratic (meritocratic competitive) civilization that was leaving the middle east in the dust of ignorance, superstition, primitivism, poverty, and war.
Religiosity failed modernity partly because the Catholic Church – far more corrupt than any modern government – failed to reform, causing the Prostestant Reformation; and the Catholic Church failed again in response to Darwin, by not claiming victory: in that there is no difference between the GOAL of Christianity and the scientific (gods language) explanation of Christianity in the science (testifiable evidence) we find in the natural law of cooperation.
If that had happend, and the church had reformed, then the marxist-squence cult could not have taken root in the academy, and the marxist-sequence academy, couldn’t have trained generations of women and elites (bureaucrats) to seek Leninist and abrahamic and feminine authority – against the natural law – when, if god does exist, that is the law he gave us. Not in the words of primitive men. But in the langauge of his own hand. Written in the very fabric of the universe at every scale from the very small to the very large.
