  • A (social) Philosophy that Is, at Least by Present Scientific Standards, the Optimum for Man

    Jan 24, 2020, 7:10 AM

    —“So, you would consider Christianity a desert cult?”—Dan Ver Woert

    I don’t do name calling, but I would consider the advice of Jesus to be a philosophy that is, at least by present scientific standards, the optimum for man. I would say that as I’ve secularized it, it’s just a statement of social science. I would say that the supernatural elements are nonsense, and that the pilpul and critique with which it was promoted, are a human cancer, but if jesus had been added to the pantheon rather than a monopoly we would have had contributed to the janus-face of man. Instead christianity was used and is used to keep man ignorant by undermining the only ‘true’ religion “debt to ancestors nature in the continuous evolution(transcendence) of man”. Edit

  • The (Social) Church Ritual Is More Important than Dogma or Belief.

    Jan 24, 2020, 7:20 AM SCIENCE: Church Ritual is more important than dogma or belief. The problem is people think the opposite. If we have church rituals (surrender to the pack) where we are all rendered equal in safety for just a moment, any content will do. It causes an addiction response for the same reason pack membership causes an addiction response. Why this is complicated is beyond me. My question is how to create those experiences across the spectrum of people who need different pack responses. I feel safe around thousands of armed men. Women feel safe in a church full of chattering women. Some people feel safe in a sports arena. Some over family dinner. These are all pack-feast rituals. And we apparently need them to feel ‘whole’ (mindfulness.)

    I demand the right to personally and collectively pay debts to and gain wisdom from, the entire host of my people’s gods, demigods, and heroes from our foundation forward. To transfer that debt and wisdom between generations, and to defend commons constructed by that debt and wisdom from dilution, diminution, competition, and harm.
