    7) however, religion consists almost entirely of a category of means by which we train our intuitions for adaptation to scale (increasingly fragmentary anonymity, lack of agency, lack of feedback, lack of investment, and lack of information. This training is not unnecessary.

    6) Religion is the hard problem of social science mostly because it does serve a demand just like hard drugs serve a demand. However, if those demands are described various means have been invented to provide them that are far better than abrahamic frauds.

    4) It is not my job to invent via-positivas. It is the markets job to provide non-criminal ‘goods’.
    5) Very serious well understood problems exist esp post 1900. These problems are all solvable by constitutional amendments. I work regularly on these amendments. Law = Engineering.

    2) Ethnocentrism is the optimum group strategy. Ethnocentric cults the optimum intergenerational cults.
    3) I write law. The law is a via negativa. Markets can find via-positiva solutions that do not violate law – that is the function of the competition between markets and law.

    1) A ‘church’ (institution) is a good thing. Christianity reduced to five principles is the optimum game strategy (cooperation). Mindfulness is better taught by stoic means. Christianity in abrahamic prose is a bad thing. Incentives can cause the church to self correct (adapt).

    Sacred > Sacrosanct

    sac·ro·sanct

    [ˈsakrōˌsaNG(k)t]

    ADJECTIVE

    (especially of a principle, place, or routine) regarded as too important or valuable to be interfered with.

    “the individual’s right to work has been upheld as sacrosanct”

    synonyms:

    sacred · hallowed · respected · inviolable · inviolate · unimpeachable · unchallengeable · invulnerable · untouchable · inalienable · set apart · protected · defended · secure · safe · unthreatened

    APPLY TO COMMONS:

    inviolable · inviolate · untouchable · inalienable · set apart · protected · defended · secure

    That which is prohibited from ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING: whether Display, Word, Or Deed. Whether thing, space, information, Tradition, Norm, institution …. whether ANY aspect of property in toto.

    one has no right of display, of speech, of action in relation to the sacred.

    In other words, non, consumption. And punishment for violation of that property is the most severe possible, and so severe that it prevents further encroachements.

    Something must be both false, and immoral. Christian mythology may be ‘true’ to some portion of the faithful (at least ideally) but faith has no place in government, law, or war. However, there is nothing counter to the natural law in christian practice. So christianity passes the test of being not parasitic or counter to natural law. In fact, it is the OPTIMUM EXPRESSION of natural law.

    This NOT true of judaism and islam which are bothd estructive religions designed to destroy indo european aristocratic civilization.

    Moreover, while I see demand for a church at least in the protestant sense of participatory government of the commons, and while I consider myself a christian in the secular, and philosophical sense where christianity functions as a political religion, I also consider myself a heathen (pagan) and an advocate for ‘Natural Religion’ (Folk Religion of Nature, ancestors, family, and hearth) was well, and I consider myself an Aryan(or aristotelian) in the sense of the physical laws of nature, and the natural law of men.

    For these reasons my view of our future religion is along all THREE of these lines, incorporating the best aspects of all three traditions: heathen, aristotelian, and christian, and divesting those three systems of that which is false or harmful to our people.)

    I wrote the Oath of Transcendent man because I believe it is the optimum correspondence with the physical laws of the universe, and the natural laws of cooperation.

  • The Oath of Transcendent Man

    A PAGAN(HEATHEN), A CHRISTIAN, AN ARYAN, A WARRIOR, A MAN TRANSCENDENT

    A religion of man, nature, and nature’s god need contain no lies, no false promises, no sophistry, nothing supernatural, and survives by the sheer ‘wonder’ of the universe that we are born to master, transform, and rule. [I] am a Heathen if 1) I accept the laws of nature as binding on all of existence; and 2) if I treat nature as sacred and to be contemplated, protected and improved; and 3) I treat the world as something to transform closer to an Eden in whatever ways I can before I die; and 4) if I deny the existence of a supreme being with dominion over the physical laws, and treat all gods, demigods, heroes, saints, figures of history, and ancestors as characters with whom I may speak to in private contemplation in the hope of gaining wisdom and synchronicity from having done so. And 5) if I participate with others of my society in repetition of oaths, repetition of myths, repetition of festivals, repetition of holidays, and the perpetuation of all of the above to my offspring. And 6) if I leave open that synchronicity appears to exist now and then, and that it may be possible that there is a scientific explanation for it, other than just humans subject to similar stimuli producing similar intuitions and therefore similar ends. As far as I know this is all that is required of me to be a Heathen. [I] am a Christian if I have adopted the teaching of christianity: 1) the eradication of hatred from the human heart. 2) the extension of kinship love to non-kin. 3) the demand for personal acts of charity and personal cost, 4) the extension of exhaustive forgiveness before punishment, enserfment, enslavement, death, or war. As far as I know, this is all that is required of me to be a Christian. [I] am an Aryan if 1) I proudly display my excellences so that others seek to achieve or exceed them; 2) I seek competition to constantly test and improve myself so I do not weaken; 3) I swear to speak no insult and demand it; 4) I speak the truth and demand it; 5) I take nothing not paid for and demand it; 6) I grant sovereignty to my kin and demand it; 7) I insure my people regardless of condition, and demand it; and in doing so leave nothing but voluntary markets of cooperation between sovereign men; and to discipline, enserf, enslave, ostracize or kill those who do otherwise; 8) to not show fear or cowardice, abandon my brothers, or retreat, and 9) to die a good death in the service of my kin, my clan, my tribe and my people. As far as I know, this is all that is required of me to be an Aryan. [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. [A]s far as I know, if I succeed as a Heathen, 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 ordinary men. And so I swear to my fathers and brothers, and to my mothers and sisters, and to all our people, back to the beginning, that I shall transcend myself and mankind, into the gods we seek, by demand for the virtues of excellence and beauty, heroism and duty, sovereignty and reciprocity, truth and promise, warranty and insurance, and judge and jury from all others; and I shall grant the same to any who consent; and shall protect the interest of those who came before us, those of us living, and those of us yet to come, by force of law, prosecution, restitution, punishment, or death of those who resist.
