    There is a difference between understanding the horrific consequences of the church, the christian destruction of the ancient world, the ‘dumbing down’ and ‘supernaturalizing’ of greek knowledge, to create subservient authoritarian clerisy, and the ages of ignorance and poverty that resulted – and the solution to the problem of identity, self image, and status in aristocratic civilization for the underclasses and women who lack the capacity for the degree of ability, responsibility and loyalty needed to achieve status and respect under aristocratic civilization.

    THE ECONOMICS OF RELIGION – CATHOLIC FINANCE
    –“The medieval records show, however, that the normal economic incentive of profit drove Church practice. The ban on usury was a way to make sure that public wealth was not siphoned off to lenders but instead was available for paying tithes. What the record shows more concretely, is that the Roman Curia, or head office, loaned money to its own divisions in the field—bishops, monasteries, or religious orders—at high interest rates. This allowed Rome to collect rents downstream, a very normal profit-making practice of the multidimensional firm.”–

    Is there any country we invaded that did not first violate the sovereignty of another? no.
    We set up the postwar world order of state sovereignty, human rights, and free trade, in order to end empires, and drag humanity out of poverty.
    It worked.
    Unfortunately (a) as typical germanic europeans, we left russian and china intact when we should have completed the job (b) we assumed a population with a below-the limit IQ of 84 (the middle east) could evolve into a middle class majority ethic and moral civilization (it can’t) – but it’s not exactly a non-virtuous ambition (c) we should have brought russia in with a massive program of assistance as we did germany and japan in particular and europe in general, after the fall of the soviet union, including gradual inclusion into NATO creating ‘the circumpolar civilization’ that meant no other of the world race-civilizations could compete with us.
    So the USA, and the broader west, having learned our less on that it takes a 100 IQ population or something near it to produce a modern economy, modern state, and high trust polity, is withdrawing slowly while trying to force europe back into paying for itself, and retrenching to the anglosphere of UK, US, AU, NZ (maybe canada, possibly the some of the nordics, and probably plus japan and south korea), because we are naval islands not world island continentals.
    The US is effectively autarkic and the more chaos in the world the better it is for us. But there is too much value (other than france) in the european community geopolitically, so we’re trying to preserve that as well.

    He is correct, he was just foolish because (a) Ukraine (I lived there at the time) would happily have ‘sold’ the eastern provinces to russia for a discount on oil. (b) russia already had a lease on crimea and they could have renewed it. (c) the west would be happy to integrate UA into the european economic zone but not into nato just as it hasn’t let other countries into nato.
    So as I argued at the time, Putin ‘panicked’ and it’ll be the death of him and likely his government, even if it takes a long time, the west is bleeding russia, while putin assumes the west will grow tired, the opposite is happening, is that they are rebuilding their arms industries. Russia can’t.
    I was extremely frustrated at the time because I saw him as a weapon against the progressive, left, woke, in the west and he blew that too.

  • DISAMBIGUATION OF CONFLICT VS COMPETITION So you are trying to make the same poi

    DISAMBIGUATION OF CONFLICT VS COMPETITION
    So you are trying to make the same point that I used to undermine the libertarian presumption of cooperation, instead of “why don’t I kill you and take your stuff”.
    The reason is the dual use of the social term (rivalry) competition (together) into the commercial term, then applied to the natural sciences in the darwinian era.
    So whereas the ancient world was full of EITHER conflict through predation OR competition through cooperation, the use of the term competition under the darwinian revolution ‘made ambiguous’ the term competition by scaling it from a commercial particular to a universal in the common vernacular.

    Etymology
    The word “competition” comes from the Late Latin word “competitio” meaning “rivalry”. The word “compete” comes from the Late Latin word “competere” meaning “to strive together”

    ARE EITHER COOPERATION OR CONFLICT “NATURAL”
    (where natural means evolutionary solution to a problem of survival(persistence).)
    Predation is natural between species, war is natural between species, subspecies, groups, and individuals, conflict is natural within a group, competition is a solution to conflict, and cooperation varies by the neurological predictability of the species and class, but it is the OPTIMUM MEANS of defeating conflict, competition, war, and predation.

    –“Q: How Can Half Of The Population Be Worse Than The Other Half?”–

    How can women have less agency on average than men? How can less neotenous races have less agency than those of greater neoteny? How can low trust societies have less agency than those with high trust? How can upper classes have less agency than lower? How can teens have less agency on average that adults? How can children have less agency on average than teens? How can infants have less agency than children?

    The scale, quality, isolation, duration of maturity(growth) of the regions of the brain, and in particular the degree of maturation of the prefrontal cortex.

    That’s how.

  • WE ONLY NEED TO AGREE TO MOVE PORTIONS OF CONSERVATIVES IN ROUGHLY THE RIGHT DIR

    WE ONLY NEED TO AGREE TO MOVE PORTIONS OF CONSERVATIVES IN ROUGHLY THE RIGHT DIRECTION -NOTHING MORE.

    Look. We don’t all need to be the same, just gradually moving in the same general direction. Is any given media activist moving the needle forward? Yes. Has he used this hypersensitivity (that’s what conservatives do) to threats to reach a broad audience of those who are equally sensitive? Yes.

    The truth is, and I know from his explanation of Stew’s strategy to me, that he knows exactly what he is doing and why and has researched the options thoroughly and applied them to reach a bigger audience that is more passionate and more likely to ACT than I can, or you can or the rest of us ASDs can.

    So don’t look for people to cognitively, emotionally, and intellectually resonate with you. Instead, look for people who move some part of the spectrum that will actually SHOW UP in the direction necessary to bring about change.

    He’s doing it.

    And frankly he’s one of the smarter people that regularly interviews me, and he grasps what I’m saying. And as such he brings my ideas to a broader audience, legitimizing those ideas with people who otherwise wouldn’t be able to judge them on their own.

    I will work with anyone for whom I can provide value in moving the needle in the right direction. I don’t need them to agree with me or me to agree with them to any greater degree than that: move forward in the right direction.

    This “you have to think like me” is the reason conservatives and on the right fail – because the left isn’t infected with this disability.

    YOU CANNOT HAVE A NATURAL RIGHT TO CONSTRUCT, ADVOCATE, OR INDOCTRINATE INTO, A SUPERNATURAL RELIGION – ONLY A PRIVILEGE

    –“Thanks to freedom of religion I can believe whatever I want.”–

    1. You can believe whatever you want.
    2. Freedom of belief is of course irrevocable.
    3. Freedom of the public practice of a religion IS revokable.
    4. Because the social construction of fraud by false promise of the unpromisable and the externalities produced by such fraud, is criminalizable.
    5. Because all supernatural religions are untestifiable and their false promises unwarrantable and as such unpromisable.

    Ergo, you may have the natural right to believe and think because it cannot be deprived from you.

    But then again, your capacity to speak it, advocated it, and argue in matters of the commons using it, is absolutely positively prohibitable and punishable.

    In fact the only reason it hasn’t been done more frequently, is that those false hopes, like drugs, and other fantasies, do in fact calm the minds of those less capable of survival and adaptation in the real world.

    It took me years to find justification for not outlawing all supernatural religions, because they are in fact, a violation of the demand for truthful reciprocal speech in the commons.

    In the end, it’s a simple recognition that archaic religions are cheap, because they had to be, but the world requires revised ‘religions’ in the broad sense of the term, that are not false – well, that turns out to be costly just like education.

    Don’t presume a privilege is a right.
    Don’t presume a Political right is a natural right.
    Don’t presume even a natural right is possible without others insuring it.
