[T]here are only Three good Prophets: Aristotle-Zeno (science, markets), Confucius-SunTzu (reason, hierarchy) and Buddha (intuition, individualism). The rest and everything that results from them have been a cancer to mankind for two thousand years, and every trace of them need be eradicated from the earth. Zoroaster and Abraham brought a curse upon mankind.

September 18th, 2018 3:38 PM THE ESSENCE OF EUROPEANISM OVER ABRAHAMISM
—“Our ancestors took great men and turned them into Gods so that we could follow their example and rule ourselves. Abrahamism took God and anthropomorphized him so that we are better able to follow his commands and be ruled over.”— Andy Lunn
[T]he middle east slaves and shepherds under the despots of the flood river valleys versus the european militia under chosen kings of the farmers and cattlemen of forest and plain. NO MORE LIES. Europa Juris: the cult of non submission.

September 18th, 2018 9:38 AM THE WEST IS ALREADY AND ALWAYS HAS BEEN POLYTHEISTIC [W]e have polytheism already: mythology, literature, history, biography, law, engineering, economics, medicine, science, mathematics, and logic. It is precisely the deconflation into markets of specialization and the different explanations of the universe and our relation to it, that provide that polytheism. Western man’s cult is the law, and always has been. His civic religion of heroic ancestor worship has been invaded by semitism, for the purpose of political conquest, and we are yet again, for the third time, trying to cast it off. But supernatural semitism has been evolved into pseudoscientific and pseudo-rational Semiticism (Abrahamism) in order to restore monopoly of the herd, and once again destroy the market for explanations between peoples of different abilities, that cooperate by trade using that market we call law, regardless of their differences. Semiticism is political warfare no different than the british selling of drugs to china – and even more evil, and always has been. It destroyed the ancient world and drove mankind into darkness. it destroyed egyptian civilization, mesopotamian, north african, european, and eventually greek (byzantine). What crime is greater than 1b dead and a thousand year dark age, then Semiticism (Abrahamism)? So choose Europeanism (Aristotelianism and Stoicism), Semiticism (Abrahamism), Hinduism or its reformation (Buddhism), Cinism (Confucianism). But of them which is demonstrably the least harmful, and most beneficial? Truth is enough. Literature is enough. Ancestors are enough. and all attempts at monopoly and submission are crimes against mankind. No more lies. Truth is enough.

[Y]ou mean authoritarianism and monopoly rather than as in history, an extended family of various traits relying on various archetypes. It is very easy to convince people that what they do is good. It is very hard to show them that what they deem good is bad. Principally because their intuitions have been trained by deception and ritual, because there was no means of training them by reason and practice. No cult survives falsification by science, and no good of cults cannot be produced by training. There are only two religions that are not evil: stoicism and shintoism, with original buddhism simply a pre-scientific attempt (as in philosophy vs science) to produce an insular stoicism; where stoicism sought to produce a civic discipline.

NO, SUPERNATURAL AUTHORITARIAN RELIGION IS NOT BEST – AND THE EXTERNALITIES ARE HORRID.
The cognitive bias of cherrypicking is everywhere. That is why we must always seek falsification not justification.
Our biological need is to create regularity in order to limit demands on our individual and group neural (cognitive) economy. The most scientific method of doing so is self authoring. we can self author by the disciplined construction of virtues, by imitation of archetypes, or by submission to the pack and authority. We do not comprehend this as ‘self authoring’ – discipline of the intuition just as we discipline our bodies and reason through training – but it is as necessary if not the most necessary of the three. In practice only ‘repetitive rituals’ matter. The question is only how we perform those rituals, and what we program ourselves to do by performing those rituals, and the externalities caused by that programming (self authoring). We can program ourselves (virtues), or we can insulate our selves (buddhism, ritualism), or we can take programming from our kin (familialism) or we can take programming from authoritarian submission (prayer and community prayer). We can produce training to defeat nature (west), to live in harmony with nature (east), to an ideal (india), and to abandon reality (semitic). When augmented by festival (feast), sport, and civic ritual, we build training in trust of one another – the ritual of running with the pack is still in our genes. Piety and all synonyms are just submission to the pack. The more competitive the rituals the more militial. The more submissive the rituals the more slaves.
China is the most durable civilization, our only substantial competitor, and not in any way like the semitic. Heterogeneity creates demand for authority. Homogeneity not. It was semitic heterogeneity, and east asian and western homogeneity that prevented demand. Just as today, the religion of postmodernism is a result of demand due to heterogeneity. In fact, they have and continue to ridicule us over our superstitions.
We have a fairly good understanding of the evolution of authoritarian religion in response to demand for cooperation among peoples with demographically disadvantaged populations. Just as we have a fairly good understanding of the creation of familialism (emperor, king, ancestor) ‘worship’ (thanks, respect) in homogeneous societies.
The dumber your people the greater your heterogeneity (number of signal competitors) the greater demand for authority.
That authority will come in the form of propaganda (religion) and violence (the state), and not civil society and rule of traditional common law of property (tort).
Choose: Kin (homogenous high), corporation (expansionary middle ), authoritarian religion (exhausted low).
Human capital determines everything.
