    I think it’s more that thor evolved into the god of the common people and odin etc into the ruling class.
    I don’t claim too much skill here because the actual material to work from is very tiny.

    (Just Staying On Message)

    Tyr, Zeus, and Thor are not directly related names, but rather represent different sky gods in various Indo-European mythologies.

    Tyr: In Proto-Germanic, the sky god was known as *Tīwaz or *Teiwaz, which is derived from the Proto-Indo-European root *dyeus, meaning “sky” or “shining.” In Old Norse mythology, Tyr (or Týr) is a one-handed god associated with law, justice, and heroic glory. He is not the chief god in the Norse pantheon but is considered a brave and wise figure.

    Zeus: In ancient Greek mythology, Zeus is the king of the gods and the ruler of Mount Olympus. His name is derived from the Proto-Indo-European root *dyeus, which also gives rise to the Proto-Hellenic form *Dzeus. Zeus is associated with the sky, thunder, lightning, justice, and law. While both Tyr and Zeus derive their names from the same Proto-Indo-European root, they developed independently in their respective mythologies.

    Thor: In Old Norse mythology, Thor (or Þórr) is the god of thunder, lightning, storms, oak trees, strength, hallowing, and fertility. He is the son of Odin and is often depicted wielding his hammer, Mjölnir. The name Thor is derived from the Proto-Germanic *Þunraz, which comes from the Proto-Indo-European root *tónros, meaning “thunder.” This root is different from the one that gives rise to Tyr and Zeus.

    In summary, while Tyr, Zeus, and Thor are all sky gods in their respective Indo-European mythologies, their names developed independently from different Proto-Indo-European roots.

    Tyr and Zeus share a common linguistic origin (*dyeus), while Thor’s name derives from a separate root (*tónros). Each god underwent unique mythological and linguistic developments within their specific cultural contexts.

    –“Odin isn’t a peace-loving god, as portrayed in mass culture; Vikings used to put children on a spear in his honour. Because for him, he didn’t need a special sanctuary; wherever you plant the spear in the ground, that’s where one can worship.
    He’s a monster, Like you said one of his nicknames being “Ygg,” which means Terrible One. Odin’s name actually is a nickname as well. In the future, it took the place of a legitimate name, but it’s essentially a nickname.
    Among hundreds of others, his nicknames include terrible, scoundrel, and madness one. He was called by these names not by his enemies but also by those who worshipped him.
    In Proto-Germanic, his name was “Wōðanaz,” which means Lord of frenzy from the word “Wōð,” meaning rage or frenzy.
    Initially, Odin wasn’t the Supreme God; The supreme was god known to us now as the thunder god Thor, who also inherits his cultural heritage from Zeus.
    He’s present in almost all cultures as the god of the sky.
    Everything began to change with the Great Migration. Initially, Odin was encountered as a god in individual military brotherhoods, separate from others, the patron of martial madness.
    Of course, this wasn’t universal; he appeared differently in various places.
    Now, imagine the times when a narrowly specialized usurping god becomes the supreme God. Look at Viking burials, observe the symbols on these mounds—the symbol of Thor (his hammer) predominates, not Odin’s, which is three triangles, or they are very rarely clear.
    There’s also the question of Odin’s supremacy in Scandinavia—whether he was the Supreme God for all tribes or only for the Warrior Elite.’–

    CONTENT (METAPHYSICS) AND FORM OF “RELIGION”
    Religion is probably over as we understand it. But if we take your meaning as the Metaphysical consequences of a paradigm describing the relation between man and the universe, then maybe. But as we have seen religion has been replaced by ideology and that continues. So without something non-supernatural (perhaps visionary supernormal instead) we will end up with the pseudoscientific (marxist), the supernatural (islam), and the seditionist (judiasm), and the Jewish Leninist authoritarianism (russia, china)

    WHY IS ISLAM FEMININE IN COGNITION?
    Femininity like masculinity has both positive and negative behaviors. For historical reasons dating back to christianity, then to the age of chivalry, then to the victorian counter-reaction to the edwardian, the west has created a ‘unique’ mythology of the feminine as virtuous where throughout most of history women were considered the root of most public evils.

    We tend to overlook that feminine behavior is more aggressive and violent than male – just less capable. Additionally Islam (like Judaism) is feminine in cognition, in expression, in justification, and even islamic aggression follows the feminine instincts and behaviors. to ‘drag everyone down to equality at the bottom’. Low capability, low trust, demand for equality obtained by authority and imposed by threat of violence.

    Why? low competitiveness by strategic, military, and economic means requiring high trust organization, combined with low trustworthiness, familial and tribal prioritization rather than national bias. Hence ‘why can’t islam organize anything of any scale in any dimension requiring any truth, trust, contract, and scale?

    Why are semites in general, muslims in particular, low trust, untrustworthy, permissive with lying cheating and corruption, and as such unwilling to bear costs for the common good, and thus unable to do anything organized at any scale?

    Well start with diversity, an average IQ of 84, Islam as encouraging ignorance and obedience, and a long history of institutional failure, and you have a population that is capable of aggression and raiding and conniving and undermining using the false promise of freedom from being members of the world’s lower class, and the resulting inequality, combined with the relief of the cognitive burden of european reason, evidence, and science, and then you have a recipe for the state of affairs.

    Thankfully (at least somewhat) (a) the internet has solved problems insular islam has made (b) the slow progress of development and gradual education is creating incentive for nation-states to replace the arbitrary borders of both the ottoman imperialists and the european colonialists.

    Cheers

    (Christianity is cope – that’s it’s entire reason for existence.) Why do we end up in feminine chaos? It appears no civilization that can transcend low trust, can survive an attempt at transcending the integration of the feminine – because the masculine seeks responsibility and capital at personal and political scales while the feminine seeks irresponsibility and consumption of capital at political scales. So, if you let pandora loose she will destroy you. And she cannot control her instincts unless other women limit her instincts, and those women will do so only if limited by men from doing otherwise.
