THE CONSTRUCTION OF STATUS WITHOUT DECEIT by John Mark Religion sells fake statu
THE CONSTRUCTION OF STATUS WITHOUT DECEIT
by John Mark
Religion sells fake status just as leftism sells fake status. Religion sells artificial good feelings – a method of lying to oneself as a method of dealing with the harshness of life – just as leftism does.
NPCs seem to need these lies, or an alternative that provides them the same service: “You don’t have to think, you can feel good/more secure/optimistic about yourself and about life even if you have no reason to, and you can feel like life has a grand meaning even if it is false.”
The only alternative we can offer them is a “religion” (rituals/training/symbolic reminders) of stoicism/ancestor “worship” (admiration/thanks), which requires being honest with oneself, and a fairly secure place in our pack *if* they can add some value and not advocate for theft.
As far as I can tell, far less than half the world’s population is capable of that. Some NPCs may be able to live under our system, and we can do their thinking for them, if they can resist the urge to lie and rebel against the truth. But I am doubtful most people can handle it. Thus we must *separate* from those who cannot do it, and *transcend* apart from them, embracing our role as the world’s master class/race (including the minority of non-whites with the agency to join us) as we have been for centuries.
Our attempt to lift up the world’s teeming masses by letting them immigrate and live under our law, or invading them and imposing the superficial structure of our laws, has failed. Because they are not like us. We are a minority on earth, and our strategy must reflect that. We can benefit them via our advancements, from across a high wall, and provide them with help to transcend as they request it *respectfully*, from across a high wall.
Separate. Transcend.

THE SEMITIC SUPERNATURAL VS THE EUROPEAN SUPERNORMAL
I remember reading “The Screwtape Letters” and Tolkien’s “Lord of the Rings” about the same time and I understood immediately the difference between authoritarian submissiveness (supernatural) and voluntary heroism (supernormal). We can achieve the supernormal, we are forbidden and submit to the supernatural.
Our myths are SUPERNORMAL. Even our ancestors (ghosts) are supernormal, rather than supernatural.
The european cultural metaphysics sees nothing as unattainable by man (competition). The semitic cultural metaphysics sees most as unattainable (submission).
THE WEST: MARKETS IN EVERYTHING

I’ve said this before but religion was the “Hard Problem of Social Science”. I understood the problem of calculation early because of my work in software and AI. It took me only about year to solve the problem of government. It took me about a year to solve the problem of truth. It took about two years (cumulatively) to solve the problem of law and grammars, but cumulatively it took me almost three years to solve the problem of Fitness + Religion + Education + Training.

Who Owns Their Soul (intuitions and Scripts)
October 17th, 2018 12:27 PM WHO OWNS THEIR SOUL (INTUITIONS AND SCRIPTS) by Nick Heywood
—“I mean, judaism christianity and islam all but outright manufacture ignorance and deceit.—CD
From a higher cognitive position, yes. But the [less able, those lacking agency] don’t know that! They can’t get past their #npc’ness. [Lack of ability and agency] In fact, That’s a Good! #NPC’s are needed. The problem is, who owns (produces) their soul (instincts and scripts)?

Solving Religion: The Ultimate Test of Agency
October 17th, 2018 11:42 AM SOLVING RELIGION: THE ULTIMATE TEST OF AGENCY [S]olving religion was the hardest problem. Truth was trivial by comparison. The reason being that we are less invested in truth (reason) than we are in intuitions (training). I solved religion. The question is, what can be done about it for the masses, when the purpose of faith is to circumvent reason and to relieve the individual of all sorts of calculation, particularly STATUS (self image), which is the human’s instinctual accounting system. So, people malinvest in religions (wisdom narratives) for the purpose of cognitive and signaling discounts, and as such they defend their malinvestments like they defend all forms of investment (property). Hence why religion is the ultimate test of Agency.

Law and The Limits to Wisdom Literature (cults)
October 17th, 2018 11:32 AM LAW AND THE LIMITS TO WISDOM LITERATURE (CULTS)
—“I’m concerned that you are unwilling to allow anything outside of your materialist paradigm Curt.”— Claire Rae Randall
No, I am limiting the imaginary (Fictions) to the non-harmful. 😉 I write about the science and LAW of religion. What religions emerge from the science and consequential LAW is not something that terribly much bothers me. It just can’t be as destructive as the abrahamic religions, or as limiting as the hindu or buddhist, but must do the opposite: provide ability to act, rather than escape. Stoicism + Mythology + Literature + History will work. I WRITE SCIENCE OF LAW (TRUTH). It is a via-negativa. A set of LIMITS. WHat people do within those limits is simply another market for productive, fully informed (truthful), warrantied, voluntary exchange, absent imposition upon the accumulated intersets of others by externality. That which is OUTSIDE of the law violates one of those tests.

Religious Justification (excuse) vs Scientific Falsification (survival)
October 17th, 2018 11:01 AM RELIGIOUS JUSTIFICATION (EXCUSE) VS SCIENTIFIC FALSIFICATION (SURVIVAL)
—“Accepting scientific authority without conducting the experiments and doing the research yourself is an expression of faith.”— Clay Caldwell
[L]ikewise, accepting supernatural authority without direct, testifiable, experience of the people and events, and miracles(magic) is an act of faith. Whereas due diligence in science is an effort to disprove a theory, not prove one. we cannot prove science. We can only find possibilities and seek to falsify them until we can’t. When we can’t falsify them (because of coherence, consistency, and correspondence, and explanatory power, and parsimony) then we have to admit to ourselves that it’s likely true. So it’s not true that one has ‘faith in science’ but one simply does the hard work of falsifying our fantasies such that only that which we cannot make false remains – that’s the entire point of scientific research: to perform due diligence against your imagination, by producing measurements that eliminate the possibility of your imaginings. The problem is that one can read either the research or other’s fictionalism or sensationalism of that research. And it takes great knowledge to understand such research, while only takes the mind of a child to understand mythology by intuition and imitation. So knowledge < wisdom < parable describe a means of graceful failure from those who possess knowledge and ability to those that possess neither. We can train people’s intuition many ways, and it turns out that abrahamic religion, like marxism, postmodernism, and feminism, is just the worst way possible.
