DON’T WASTE MY TIME WITH DEISM – IN COURT AS IN ALL ADULT CONVERSATION – CHILDREN SHOULD BE RARELY SEEN AND NEVER HEARD Don’t waste my time. I am not a friend of theists. I consider such people well intentioned children. Instead, we are a product of the Universe, and heroes, demigods, and gods are a product of man. We need a church (meeting place) and we need myths(strategy), an Oath(promise), Rituals (payment of costs), and Festivals (Rewards for rituals). We need these things like we need manners, ethics, morals and laws. But the words of the prophets are wisdom literature – parables – advice. It is true that this wisdom literature contains wisdom in some cases. But that is not the same as truth. And there is no reason that truth is not our wisdom literature : unless it is our strategy to lie, cheat, and steal. I specialize in truthful speech and in falsifying the fictionalisms (comforting lies). I do realize that given the limited abilities of the human mind, the members of the polity require The Magical(Supernatural), The theological, The ideal, The Pseudoscientific, because they lack the agency to tolerate the incompleteness(uncertainty) of The Operational(Scientific). It takes intellectual, emotional, and physical courage to say ‘i don’t know, YET’. And to simply accept that the universe is quite simple, and cognitively sterile. If you need these things you merely say you lack the agency to participate in judgement and rule. You are not yet fully human. It may in fact be impossible for you to be fully human. That is ok. Because we do not need everyone to be a judge and to rule. We simply need enough judges and rulers that we can create truth, sovereignty, reciprocity, markets in everything, and as a consequence sufficiently competitive society that we continue our evolution rather than become the victim once again of the natural devolution of the underclasses.
