    RE: Religious frame.
    Is the religious frame cause, or consequence?
    I can find no case where it’s not a consequence.
    We justify. Religions justify. We need only decompose and disambiguate what it is they justify. There is nothing good in christianity that was not in greco roman thought, and everything bad in christianity (judaism, islam) is an introgression of fraud into western thought.

    Difference? Western thought began as aristocratic negotiation. Middle eastern thought began as peasant manipulation and organization. So Christianity provided a means by which the slaves, underclass, immigrants, and women could find respect and virtue in ‘doing no wrong to the commons’ versus respect and virtue ‘in doing good for the commons’ that was the principle of aristocratic religion.

    Unfortunately, instead of continuing the progress of the Sol Invictus character that integrated into the model, the Christian (seditious) model that also UNDERMINED the aristocracy, their arts, letters, reason, ethics, morals, religion, tradition, and institutions, and fed the honor of the high cost of military participation that made Rome possible – was a preference.

    So the Jewish Christianity of the church destroyed the ancient world from within just as much as Islam destroyed the ancient world from without.

    Same as today.

    The whole point of western truth-before-face is to teach you to tolerate being offended, so that you cannot easily hold false self-image, status, competency, meritocracy, so that those that possess competency meritocracy can accumulate responsibility so that those who don’t…

  • People wonder why our myths and legends use the metaphor of prince and princess

    People wonder why our myths and legends use the metaphor of prince and princess – because the prince and princess have resources, but are bound by our morals or pay the price. In other words, between our myths, confession(Faith), Oath(commerce), and Testimony (Court) we are trained to, and bound to, truth before face in all contexts.

    I know.
    Hermes’ cart of lies broke down in the middle east and all the lies were stolen from it. Why?

    There is a reason for the Abrahamic theological method of deceit, and its reformation in the Marxist-Sequence pseudoscientific method of deceit, and the use of pilpul and critique in advocacy and defense of deceit.

    And that is the reason for the low trust, absence of truth before face, and the near absence of scientific, technical, economic, and political innovaton in the middle east – and the diaspora – until integrated into the west, which they struggle to undermine.

    Why do they feel superior in ethics and morality despite the evidence of their absence of truth and cooperation and industry, polity, and institution that results?

    You won’t like this but, while I’m very pro-Israel, I also work on explaining the reasons why Jews are (often justifiably) persecuted, in the hopes that Jewish law, morals, ethics, and culture will adapt to high trust modernity, and Jewish people will self-regulate their behavior, especially their tendency to undermine the institutions, traditions, ethics, and morals of more successful, higher trust polities, and tendency to engage in occupations that profit from baiting into hazard, rather than ‘be the victims of violent regulation by others’.

    So there should be a little less effort in the Jewish community on blaming others for anti-semitism, and a little more effort on ingroup policing against those people in the tribe who generate justifiable anti-semitic incentives by undermining those polities that have developed the capacity to produce defense, commons, and polities that can survive competition for territory and with it, self-determination.

    I say this as someone who has depth of historical knowledge suggesting that ‘it’s going to happen again’ if we don’t collectively solve this problem of integration between old world low trust irreciprocal polities incapable of producing commons, and new world, hight, trust reciprocal polities capable of producing commons.

    (FWIW: No member of any religion can accept that the behavior generated by their religion is harmful, when the promise of the religion is the opposite.

    Religions function because of the high investment (sunk) cost, and high neurological adaptation to the premises stated, and the metaphysics implied. So they are extremely difficult to ‘cure’.

    We can however, as observers explain the deleterious effects of every single religion in painful detail. The only not-bad religions are natural religion (ancestor worship as in Japan) and stoicism (which is just cognitive behavioral therapy).

    Christianity and Buddhism are the least bad of the rest, but both, independent of aristocracy, are forms of escaping responsibility and we’ve seen the result. Hinduism is the odd man out. But Islam is the destroyer of civilizations.

    We’ve lost the arts, letters, ideas, aristocracies, culture, wisdom knowledge and evolutionary potential of seven civilizations of the ancient world to Islam.

    While egypt was a horrific loss, unfortunately Persia was the most tragic loss, and they almost recovered twice, but they may never recover now -a nd we may have lost them forever.)

    Christianity is compatible with the greco-roman-germanic-english tradition. Christinity is just one of the three legs of the european trifunctional stool. And Christianity is extremely tolerant, and provides training for mass middle class, and high trust society. Islam doesn’t. It’s destroyed every civ it’s touched.

    WOKE HATE VS NATUAL LAW AND CHRISTIAN LOVE

    Woke is just hate. That’s all. – Race Conflict.
    Feminism is just hate, that’s all – Sex Conflict.
    Postmodernism is just hate, that’s all – End truth as a means of resolving conflict.
    NeoMarxism is just hate, that’s all. – Cultural Conflict.
    Marxism is just hate, that’s all. – Class Conflict
    Judaism and Islam are just hate, that’s all – Tribal Conflict

    How Christianity escaped the hatred of Judaism and Islam is one of the oddities of history.

    NATURAL LAW AND CHRISTIAN LOVE
    The Natural Law of Tort (trespass) by self-determination, sovereignty, reciprocity, truth, duty, Christian love and charity, limiting us to markets for dispute resolution in truthful reciprocal public discourse, the duel, the court, and markets for cooperation in association, cooperation, production, reproduction, commons, polities, and war.

    Natural Law and Christian Love – is not only just love. It’s the only possible way to love everyone, without violating self-determination by sovereignty reciprocity truth, duty, Christian love and charity that limits us to markets in everything.

    That’s just science. We created markets for cooperation in everything, by suppressing non-market imposition of costs on others in everything. By doing so we do not need to pre-determine the good – only constantly update the bad, leaving anything that isn’t bad to the good.

    And then we are limited to producing agreements for trades. The means of producing common goods (vs private goods) through trade is that market we call the houses of government.

    Those houses only fail when one has nothing to trade or will trade nothing, but wants something without a trade – which is a violation of all the above.

    Yes, well, I have two criticisms of christianity. This one (universalism) and fundamentalism. Otherwise Christianity is reducible to demand for INDIVIDUAL performative acts of tolerance, forgiveness, and charity inorder to seduce others into equally high trust relationships.

    I will add something counter-intuitive, and that’s that the protestant faith teaches the bible, and the catholic faith teaches the dogma of what’s roughly, natural law. So there appears to be a superior bias among catholic judges just like a superior bias among protestant politicians and generals. (odd, I know, but worth learning from).
