The difference between western thought and all other thought
Jan 27, 2020, 9:19 AM The difference between western thought and all other thought is the difference between zero and one: infinite. Why? Truth, operationalism, completeness. Yeah, western thought is harder, and less intuitive, and less satisfying and not at all sedating. It is, however, the only means by which we have converted the universe to an instrument of man’s will.

Our Pagan Ancestors Were Monogamous
Jan 29, 2020, 8:20 PM by Igor Rogov The only principal difference is that monogamy in “pagan” world included sexual relationships with concubines and slaves within the same household as a lawful sexual activity, with progeny either being accepted as slaves or officially adopted by household owner, or becoming “proletariat” through an official practice of abandonment. Jewish monogamy narrowed down what was allowed significantly, but not entirely – sexual relationships with slaves persisted in Jewish households under Ottoman empire. Christianity almost entirely got rid of concubines and slaves as acceptable sexual partners and out-of-wedlock progeny was reduced to historical minimum for centuries up until 20th century. Counting Islam as Abrahamism, it was a significant step backwards with a return of official practice of concubinage, slavery and multiple wives.
(CD: AFAIK: the root of the IE word for wife was ‘abducted’. lol )

Prelude to Civil War – Via Washington Himself
Jan 30, 2020, 5:20 PM
“At a time, when our lordly masters in Great Britain will be satisfied with nothing less than the deprivation of American freedom, it seems highly necessary that something should be done to avert the stroke, and maintain the liberty, which we have derived from our ancestors. But the manner of doing it, to answer the purpose effectually, is the point in question. That no man should scruple, or hesitate a moment, to use arms in defence of so valuable a blessing, on which all the good and evil of life depends, is clearly my opinion. Yet arms, I would beg leave to add, should be the last resource, the dernier resort. Addresses to the throne, and remonstrances to Parliament, we have already, it is said, proved the inefficacy of. How far, then, their attention to our rights and privileges is to be awakened or alarmed, by starving their trade and manufacturers, remains to be tried.” ~ George Washington, Letter to George Mason (April 5, 1769)
