    @tutu12345@Textra I mean, we can outlaw abrahamism (a form of lying), and end judaism, islam, and marxism, socialism, postmodernism, feminism, and denialism, as well as sophism, pseudoscience, supernaturalism, and all other forms of lying in the information commons (speech to the public). But christians want the Right To Lie so to speak, in abrahamic prose (lying). So we can’t just outlaw abrahamism. We have to outlaw lying but give special sanction to christian ‘lying’.

    @tutu12345@Textra Christians prevent outlawing abrahamism, not muslims and jews, there aren’t enough of them. The post was part of a series – there is the relevant context.

    —“Separation of church and state is only half of it. The other half is the content of the religion must not be in opposition to the secular laws that result from the centuries of practice of the religion of the civilization.

    Ergo, judaism, islam, are counter to western civilization, and buddhism is arguably also.”—

    @Textra
    It’s that we simply can’t get rid of it. I worked hard on it for a while, and there is no way to eliminate it. So exclusivity of christianity, heathenism, and aristotelianism, and separation of church and state are required. Fking christianity is communicated by the same means marxism, postmodernism, feminism, and denialism, so I want to outlaw those things, and I can’t because of christians – or at least, I have to provide an exception for christianity.

    THE NON FALSE RELIGION: A HEATHEN, A PAGAN, A CHRISTIAN, AN ARYAN, A WARRIOR, A MAN TRANSCENDENT
    (Part 2)

    I am a Warrior in that 1) we will prepare for war so perfectly that none dare enter it against us. 2) Once we go to war, we do so with joy, with eagerness, and with passion, and without mercy, without constraint, and without remorse; And 3) before ending war, we shall defeat an enemy completely such that no other dares a condition of our enemy, and the memory of the slaughter lives a hundred generations.

    As far as I know, this is all that is required of me to be a Warrior.

    As far as I know, if I succeed as a Heathen, as a Pagan, as a Christian, as an Aryan, as a Warrior, then I have transcended the animal man, and earned my place among the saints, heroes, demigods, gods, in the memories, histories, and legends of man.

    And that is the objective of heroes, demigods, and gods. We leave the rest for beasts, slaves, serfs, and ordinary men.

  • MYTHOLOGY IS THE SYSTEM OF CALCULATION OF LAST RESORT Theology is a system of me

    MYTHOLOGY IS THE SYSTEM OF CALCULATION OF LAST RESORT

    Theology is a system of measurement for those lacking education, training, and ability to engage in less intuitionistic means of measurement. Just as philosophy is. Just as moral normativism is.

    Math, Science, Algorithms, Economics and Law are burdensome, and all require external state management (external means of memory) in order to function, while anthropomorphism anthropocentrism, gods, souls, and debts, credits, reciprocity within the limits of proportionality are very primitive means of describing the economics of cooperation in intuitionistic terms that do NOT require external state management.

    So here is the thing: it’s one thing to say IT WORKS the way nursery rhymes, mnemonics, poems, and parables work. it’s another to say it’s TRUE.

    It’s not TRUE in fact. It’s allegorical.

    As such one can base an argument as to the morality of a statement, but one cannot base an argument on the existence of an analogy.

    One can inform by analogy. One can only speak the truth descriptively (operationally) by testimony (experience) that is warrantied by due diligence, against error, bias, fictionalism and deceit.

    The ten commandments are just property rights under natural law. The christian strategy is just the optimum prisoners dilemma strategy for optimum cooperation also under natural law. But one requires knowledge to make both those statements. One can however, teach ignorant slaves, serfs, herdsmen, of intelligence below the threshold of reading and following instructions, or children the ‘system of accounting’ that they were evovled to practice, “morals”(property rights) without the need to train them in the use of systems of tools of measurement first.

    Mythology is the SYSTEM OF CALCULATION OF LAST RESORT. Religion is the means by which incommensurable systems of calculation of last resort were made commensurable, despite the (extremely) limited ability and knowledge of the populations.

    So when presented with a significant problem that affects others, for which we have insufficient knowledge we can GRACEFULLY DEGRADE from Math, so science, to algorithms, to economics, to law, to norms, to traditions, to myths, and EVEN IF WE FAIL we will have done so within the boundaries of cooperation within our polity, and not enter into debt with that polity and be held accountable for failure.

    ie: We will be forgiven.

    That is the purpose of the grammars, and the grammar of last resort: mythos.

    SUPERNATURAL LIARS
    (PART 2)

    5. —“God … soul… exists”–
    Gods(accountants) and souls (debt/credit accounts), are supernatural (false), fictional (false), euphemisms (analogies) we use for terms that correctly describe human intuitions of cooperation in the continuous competition between reciprocity (merit) and proportionality (necessary to maintain group cohesion), an a real, and natural world, where authorities (Rulers, Governors, Judges, Warriors, soldiers, Owners, Adult Men) are as selfish, predatory, parasitic, and dishonest, as the common people that they manage.

    Gods are a system of measurement for cooperation within a group strategy within a series of polities sharing that strategy.

    This system of measurement requires no ‘education’ (and is therefore a favor of the ignorant) other than intuition, since our intuition in relation to cooperation is merely a measurement of our success and failure at acquisition within the limits of our willingness not to defect or fight (proportionality).

    So the reason for anthropocentric, anthropomorphic systems of measurement is that they can be taught to toddlers or people with even 60 or lower IQ (most of our history) without the need to engage in LOGIC and EVIDENCE in COMPETITION before PEERS in a COURT before a JUDGE who does so.

    Anthropocentrism, Anthropomorphism, Supernaturalism, Idealism, sophism, pseudoscience, are all means of lying.

    If you can’t say it in operational language you don’t know what you’re talking about. You’re just a trained monkey. A semi-domesticated animal we have released from slavery and serfdom in the hope that normative, economic and legal institutions can provide you with sufficient incentives to contribute to the polity rather than drag the rest of us back in to dysgenia, ignorance, poverty, and suffering with you in your natural state.

    Hence why we must rule (fully humans), and you must be ruled (undomesticated semi-humans.).  

    I DON’T ERR – That’s my RECORD. I don’t ERR. Because I don’t make claims (put forth formal arguments) that I can’t construct as formal arguments (proofs) using all eight dimensions perceivable by man.

    I just can’t afford to invest this heavily in correcting the lies of every addict that seeks to preserve his malinvestment in network of lies, rather than learning how to translate that network of lies into truthful speech.

    Cheers.
