THE
Turns out that at least the sequence of aristotle > aquinas > Smith > Blackstone is correct in that there is a universal at least via-negativa morality. But that without the christian ethic’s via positiva we might not have discovered how to integrate the lower classes and women into aristocratic civilization.
That positiva consists of only four rules, and those four rules solve the problem of high trust in a counter-intuitive manner.
Especially given that christianity is a personal religion more so than social or political – and it allows individual interpretation because it’s so imprecise that it doesn’t even state those four rules at any point or do so clearly.
So while it’s true that there is nothing in christianity that was not in european culture at the time, christianity accelerated the rate at which the underclasses could integrate into aristocratic civilization – not because they had positive merit, but becuase they would do fewer wrongs.
And that was enough.
Unfortunatley, the forcible imposition of that religion prevented the gradual continuation of the evolution of the greco-roman tradition into what we assume would have been sol invictus, preserving the arististocracy AND incorporating the underclasses, instead of developing the church as a hostile competitor to the aristocracy, the greco croman traditions of thought and literacy, and thte consequence was a dark age.
Because christianity as a personal religion is much more selfish than the pagan religions that were impersonal but political. Hence why christianity has such a hard time competing with judaism and islam both of which are political not personal religions.

If that were true then the articles of faith must be lies or false. Whereas if the ethics and morals are natural laws then those laws are observable regardless of the faith – because they are grounded in the fabric of existence. ie: science.

(NLI Micro Lesson)
Article I.IV: The Natural Law
Section: Terms of Cooperation
There exists only one Natural Law of Cooperation and that is Reciprocity; where reciprocity preserves sovereignty, and sovereignty preserves self determination, and self determination preserves individual and group evolutionary computation, and evolutionary computation defeats the dark forces of time, ignorance, and the risks of flora, fauna, mankind, geology, climate, sun, solar system, galactic, and universal disgregard for our condition, survival, persistence or existence.
ANALYSIS
The paragraph you provided presents a series of philosophical and metaphysical assertions that connect several broad concepts. Let’s break it down for clarity and examine its components:
“There exists only one Natural Law of Cooperation and that is Reciprocity”:This statement posits that reciprocity (mutual exchange for mutual benefit) is the foundational principle or ‘natural law’ governing cooperative behavior. In various philosophical and ethical frameworks, reciprocity is indeed considered a key element in fostering cooperation among individuals and groups.
“…where reciprocity preserves sovereignty, and sovereignty preserves self determination”:Here, the claim is made that reciprocity leads to the preservation of sovereignty (the authority of a state to govern itself or another state), and in turn, sovereignty ensures self-determination (the process by which a group of people, usually possessing a certain degree of national consciousness, form their own state and choose their own government).
This linkage suggests a flow from interpersonal or organizational ethics (reciprocity) to political theory (sovereignty and self-determination).
“…and self determination preserves individual and group evolutionary computation”:The term “evolutionary computation” is generally used in the context of algorithms and artificial intelligence and refers to problem-solving systems based on the principles of biological evolution.
In this statement, it seems to metaphorically suggest that self-determination contributes to the development or progress (evolution) of individuals and groups, possibly in a cultural or societal sense.
“…and evolutionary computation defeats the dark forces of time, ignorance, and the risks of flora, fauna, mankind, geology, climate, sun, solar system, galactic, and universal disregard for our condition, survival, persistence or existence.”:This part of the sentence appears to be a broad, metaphorical assertion that the evolutionary progress of humanity (in knowledge, culture, technology, etc.) combats various existential risks and challenges.
These challenges are described in a sweeping range, from ecological and geological to cosmic, suggesting a philosophical view of human progress as a defense against the indifferent nature of the universe.
Overall Interpretation:
The paragraph is a philosophical statement linking ethical principles (reciprocity) with political concepts (sovereignty and self-determination) and extending this link to a broader metaphysical claim about human progress and survival in the face of various existential threats.
It employs a mixture of concrete terms from social and political theory with more metaphorical language related to evolution and cosmology.
The narrative is grand and sweeping, encompassing a wide range of ideas from different fields of thought.
