CHRISTIAN LOVE AS AN EXCEPTIONAL EVOLUTIONARY STRATEGY
(important)
I do hold to Christianity in this sense: in the extirpation of hatred from the human heart. But I hold to this principle for four reasons: a) that emotion interferes with the reason necessary to plan and alter the course of events for our benefit, and b) trusting first and punishing later provides greater opportunity to entrap unethical and immoral people and eliminate them more quickly, and c) trusting first and investing first, create exceptional economic and innovative velocity, and (d) it is more joyous and less wasted effort if we can trust one another and severely punish the criminal, unethical, and immoral.
Christian Love Is Rational in a Militia, under natural law, under common law, under rule of law, under universal standing, using Testimony, Jury, and Judge.
This is the rational case for the central proposition of Christianity: Love. To Love is to bear the risk of harm, and punish the wicked in order to sort them from society faster – all the wile increasing economic and intellectual velocity.
Love is a bear trap for the wicked.

Just as we need different methods of argument given our abilities, we need different sources of mindfulness (spirituality) given our abilities.
The west is poly-spiritual and poly-argumentative because it serves us.
Hierarchical religions, hierarchical methods of arguments, Hierarchical mindfulness, and universal law.

Islam was designed to provide a social structure for the intellectually limited in a low trust civilization that could not be controlled by any other means thatn strict rules of observation – which is why the muslims always failed.
They were little better than the mongols.
The mongols had no writing ad could not produce a bureaucracy because of low trust.
The Arabs had writing but could not produce a bureaucracy because of low trust.
Religion is the most ‘base’ of social orders.
Law the next
Credit the next
Truth the greatest.
But it is only in retrospect this is obvious.

ON “SPIRITUALISM”
Spiritualism is necessary. The feeling of ‘spirituality’ is what we call the pack response (submission to the pack). It is a sort of euphoria that allows us to relax, abandon the self, and submit to the will of the the pack (become part of the pack mind).
Developing sentience (self awareness) was an advantage but we retain the brain stem that wants to feel the pack.
It is this process that mindfulness puts under our control.
It is unhealthy to demand humans practice reason, sentience, self awareness, and individualism at all times. We did not evolve for it. We may never evolve for it.
The question is how we solve it. We can solve it thru lies or thru truth.
The fact that we solved it through error, lie and accident does not mean that we cannot solve it truthfully.
Church works. Concerts work. Sports work. Even the academy works a bit. That is why they work. Because we still long once and a while to hail to the throng. To run with the pack, to sleep in the den, to huddle under a tree or in the sun with the pack. TO SHARE THE PROBLEM OF AWARENESS AND CALCULATION. To know we are safe and insured. Likewise we have many parts of our brain that do not recieve that stimulation and it is very difficult to discipline those neurons. Various ritualistic processes provide the ‘stimulation of the pack’ and give our self awareness a break – relaxation.
If we do not have it we are required to process all information alone, without the feedback of the pack, and it overwhelms us.

I have spent much of the past year on religion.
I knew the institutional structure of it going in.
I knew the incentives to participate going in.
It took me a whole freaking year though to flesh it out.
It was the most uncomfortable topic because it is the one where we carry the greatest bias and denial.

THE ANSWER
(religion)
Just because your ancestors valued a particular comforting lie or falsehood is not a reason to perpetuate the lie or falsehood. We are comfortable now with suppressing lies with physical science where were were not so in the past.
We are currently uncomfortable with suppressing lies in social science: ethics, politics, economics, religion, and war, but we will not be so uncomfortable in the future.
I am almost certain that the gains from ending lies in social science will be as great as those from ending lies in physical science.
But I suspect an even greater effort to preserve lies in social science than the effort to preserve lies in physical science.
Why? Because the church had only the pulpit, which we eventually defeated with the press. But the Academy has the media, and we are not yet sure that the internet is as capable of defeating the lies of the academy as the book was in defeating the lies of the church.
Both have had the same incentives: to perpetuate their income by the sale of forgiveness or indulgences, just as the academy sells the promise of prosperity and diplomas.
The monetary incentives of the church and academy are the same.
The customer base of the church and the academy are the same.
The church sold mysticism for millennia.
The academy has been selling pseudoscience for over a century.
The way we end the academy’s lies is to defund it like we did the church. The way we defund it is through the same revolution that it took to defund the church.
But if we merely shift the academy to something new, just as we shifted the church to the academy, we have only moved to a new problem rather than solving the problem.
The answer is to reform the church and the academy so that they sell truths, not lies. Truths in physical science, truth in social science, truth in what is best called ‘spiritual science’: mindfulness.
There are many ways to produce mindfulness: from stoic philosophy, to sport, to yoga, to meditation, to the piety and sacredness of commons and ritual, to the creation of arts. The human mind requires mindfulness without the constant peer feedback of the consanguinous tribe. The greater the division of knowledge and labor, the more important is mindfulness for the happiness of the human mind.
So it is possible to construct a church, academy, and commons that produces truth in physical, truth in the social, and truth in the mind.
We need no lies. There is no excuse for lies. Lies exist to profit only from the loss of others.
We can sell truth rather than sell fraud.
We can remake the west.
Because it is these truths that were the original path of western civilization before the great lies were leashed upon us by the great liars of history.
Science: truth in the physical.
Nature: truth in the commons
Law: truth in the market.
Stoicism: truth in the mind.
We are the people who invented truth.
Truth is our religion.
We can return to the truth.
End the lies
Remake man in the image of gods: truth.
