LEAVING A MARK ON REVOLUTIONARY HISTORY AS A DEFENSE FOR ALL TIME AGAINST THE INDUSTRIALIZATION OF LYING
by Ely Harman
—“Don’t forget the burning of actual people. That’s an important detail; lots and lots of people. And then the charred skulls will be piled into great pyramids and preserved as a warning to anyone who would be tempted to industrialize lying for 10,000 years.”— Ely Harman
(awesome)

—“One is constantly thrown back on this problem of persecution of the productive minority. Been thinking about it all day. They always come after you. I read somewhere recently, maybe on your blog, maybe not, the argument that the elites love this persecution because it’s an engine of economic activity: The productive must constantly spend in order to protect themselves from the incursion of the hordes (mostly by moving but also by status signaling and private schools etc etc).”— Michael Churchill

THE MIND OF A POSTMODERNIST – THE ART OF DECEIT.
The reason I don’t ban Zachary Davidson is because he is exceptional at the use of an extensive vocabulary for the purpose of obscuring his technique, which is the postmodern denial of truth.
Abrahamism is the most creative vector for lying ever created but the technique is quite simple: suggestion by straw men, ridicule, criticism, and overloading.
The fact that he uses the via negativa of skepticism suggesting that all truth is impossible, and therefore only scripture (authority) or preference (regardless of consequence) is just the inverse of the promise of salvation.
Just as marxism inverted the promise of life after death and a second coming. Just as postmodernism inverted the class warfare into an identity warfare.
So once you understand the technique it’s a bit like understanding literary analysis and losing your ability to enjoy fiction.
Or in most people’s cases, understanding science, and losing your ability to enjoy religion.
Or in my case, understanding the dimensions of reality and the various logics we have invented for testing each of them (and losing your ability to enjoy philosophy.
Postmodernism is just the most recent generation of the technique of lying we call Abrahamism.
Whereas Political Correctness is just outright denial and outright lying but repetitive chanting.

“WHAT YOU SAY, WHAT PEOPLE HEAR, WHAT YOU MEAN.”
by Ben Smith
1) When you say this: “I’m all for highly redistributive nationalism.”
2) What people hear is this: “I want to take from the rich and give to the poor.”
3) What you mean is this: “I want to redistribute a lot, but there won’t be anything for free. Everything will be paid for, one way or another.”

ARGUMENTS WITH THE SOPHOMORIC FAITHFUL
Ok. So, again. WHAT IS YOUR CRITICISM. You have none, right?
HERE IS A SIMPLE PASSAGE WITH CLEAR ARGUMENT. WHAT IS FALSE?
One can experience the feelings of love, friendship, passion, touch color, smell, fear, and a host of combinations. One can experience drugs, theatre, and music. And one an remember those experiences, and one can empathize with those experiences in others.
One can understand the causes of those experiences independent of their experiences, just as one can ‘feel’ the experiences independent of an understanding of the causes.
It is true that an understanding of causes limits the range of experiences. It is true that the value of experiences limits the conclusions we draw from the causes. But it is the competition between experience and causality, like the competition between imagination and reason, like the competition between literature and history, like the competition between reason and science, that prevents our development of addiction behavior and zealotry to defend it, and scientistic behavior and zealotry to defend it. And the method of decidability we can use for both limits is ‘truth’.
For this reason we can separate good ‘religions’ from evil ‘religions’. And that line of demarcation is simple: (a) imagination rather than action, (b) deflation (competition) vs monopoly: fictionalism (conflation) rather than competition between true and wise, and advise and command, and history and myth. We can ‘rank’ better religions and worse religions by the same means.
And so it is profoundly clarifying, to both Know and Feel, such that we form a competition between knowing and feeling, if for no other reason than to prevent of harm. And specifically, to prevent the harm of the abrahamic deceits, which succeed by self induced drug addictions through the ritualistic production of endorphins.
(The answer is, it’s all true)
Try to construct an argument. Because all you’re doing is proving my assertion that you can’t.
You are just a liar by obscurantist means.

Yeah. Well studied territory. Totally false.
Reality? people search for novelty. So what we see at any given time is the market for novelty given the inventory of consumption of the individuals.
I investigated the homosexuality thing, and the findings will surprise you. (Fascinating)
it’s just possible to search for homosexual porn in some countries then use the search results to get access to regular porn through proxy servers.
Pakistan for example (as many muslim countries) most commonly searches for homosexual porn. But the reason is not intuitive. 😉
The measure of sexual interest is the individual porn sites and dating sites and this is pretty well understood territory, and every stereotype you can imagine turns out to be true.
Just another example of the fact that ‘stereotypes are the most accurate measure in the social sciences”.
So (a) as is usual, vox = fake news. (b) as usual, vox = pseudoscience.
