The 19th-20th centuries tried a new religion of pseudoscience in an attempt to repeat our conquest by mysticism during the ancient era.

I agree. Mythology is for teaching and for telling. It is not for negotiating or conflict resolution. One can encapsulate truth in myth. But myth can contain information regardless of its truth, flasehood, ethical or unethical, moral or immoral contents. Myth is a boat for the conveyance of meaning. But we still must be able to ascertain the truth of falsehood of teh contents of the boat.

Q&A CATHOLIC VS PROTESTANT
—“which group strategy do you think the west should embrace? that of the catholics or the protestants?”—
The familialism of the catholics, and the legalism of the protestants. Catholics are largely failed countries. The longer a group has catholicism the more it declines. This is pretty evident.
What protestantism achieved was to transfer the church to the academy. But then the incentives of the academy once women were enfranchised were more insidious than those of the church.
So the problem was that we poorly incentivized the academy.

THE PURPOSE OF RELIGION? Religion like creativity, provides a group evolutionary
THE PURPOSE OF RELIGION?
Religion like creativity, provides a group evolutionary strategy, loosely constructed in myth and literature. It creates decidability in matters of collective ambition.
Morality like creativity provides general rules of behavior, loosely constructed as shoulds and should nots. Morals, ethics, manners.
Law like science provides the negative: That which we may not do, because it impedes our group evolutionary strategy. It creates decidability in matters of interpersonal dispute.
KNOWLEDGE PROCESS
Observation > Free Association > Hypothesis > Theory > Physical Law
GROUP STRATEGY PROCESS
Competition > Strategy > Religion > Morality > Judicial Law
That’s probably profound – at least for most people.

@SpiritSplice @curtdoolittle @Nick_Louras @wrathofgnon Is there anything more foolish than arguing religion on twitter? Unworthy of a pagan.

Christianity is the work of many men before and after Jesus. His invention was novel. We cannot underestimate its novelty under tribalism.

Jesus: Don’t steal. Treat Non-Kin with Kinship Love. United in this trust we cannot be divided. That’s it you know. The rest is just lies.

Christianity can be reduced to the extension of kinship love to non kin as a means of creating cooperation and trust. No. Mysticism. Needed.
