Fictions can also be used to deceive. —“Max Tegmark says that consciousness is a “new form of matter” Theoretical physics is basically just metaphysics. Everettian multiverse is basically metaphysics Bohmian mechanics is metaphysics because it has unknown variables in the math A-theory of time is metaphysics because it needs new physics such as the ether”— Yes these are metaphysical statements meaning that they are NONSENSE statements, precisely because there is no discipline of metaphysics, only that category of nonsense we call metaphysics. In other words, metaphysics is a name we use for a category of sophism we call pseudoscience. There is neither a discipline (grammar) of pseudoscience nor metaphysics, any more than there is a discipline (grammar) of ghost studies. It is just a name for sophisms of pseudoscience, idealism, and the occult.

    (FB 1550269987 Timestamp) THE STATE OF RELIGION IN AMERICA (2014) The Christian share of the population is declining and the religiously unaffiliated share is growing in all four major geographic regions of the country. Religious “nones” now constitute 19% of the adult population in the South (up from 13% in 2007), 22% of the population in the Midwest (up from 16%), 25% of the population in the Northeast (up from 16%) and 28% of the population in the West (up from 21%). In the West, the religiously unaffiliated are more numerous than Catholics (23%), evangelicals (22%) and every other religious group. Whites continue to be more likely than both blacks and Hispanics to identify as religiously unaffiliated; 24% of whites say they have no religion, compared with 20% of Hispanics and 18% of blacks. But the religiously unaffiliated have grown (and Christians have declined) as a share of the population within all three of these racial and ethnic groups. The percentage of college graduates who identify with Christianity has declined by nine percentage points since 2007 (from 73% to 64%). The Christian share of the population has declined by a similar amount among those with less than a college education (from 81% to 73%). Religious “nones” now constitute 24% of all college graduates (up from 17%) and 22% of those with less than a college degree (up from 16%). More than a quarter of men (27%) now describe themselves as religiously unaffiliated, up from 20% in 2007. Fewer women are religious “nones,” but the religiously unaffiliated are growing among women at about the same rate as among men. Nearly one-in-five women (19%) now describe themselves as religiously unaffiliated, up from 13% in 2007. Although it is low relative to other religious groups, the retention rate of the unaffiliated has increased. In the current survey, 53% of those raised as religiously unaffiliated still identify as “nones” in adulthood, up seven points since 2007. And among Millennials, “nones” actually have one of the highest retention rates of all the religious categories that are large enough to analyze in the survey. As the ranks of the religiously unaffiliated continue to grow, they also describe themselves in increasingly secular terms. In 2007, 25% of the “nones” called themselves atheists or agnostics; 39% identified their religion as “nothing in particular” and also said that religion is “not too” or “not at all” important in their lives; and 36% identified their religion as “nothing in particular” while nevertheless saying that religion is either “very important” or “somewhat important” in their lives. The new survey finds that the atheist and agnostic share of the “nones” has grown to 31%. Those identifying as “nothing in particular” and describing religion as unimportant in their lives continue to account for 39% of all “nones.” But the share identifying as “nothing in particular” while also affirming that religion is either “very” or “somewhat” important to them has fallen to 30% of all “nones.” While the mainline Protestant share of the population is significantly smaller today than it was in 2007, the evangelical Protestant share of the population has remained comparatively stable (ticking downward slightly from 26.3% to 25.4% of the population). As a result, evangelicals now constitute a clear majority (55%) of all U.S. Protestants. In 2007, roughly half of Protestants (51%) identified with evangelical churches. Since 2007, the share of evangelical Protestants who identify with Baptist denominations has shrunk from 41% to 36%. Meanwhile, the share of evangelicals identifying with nondenominational churches has grown from 13% to 19%. The United Methodist Church (UMC) continues to be the largest denomination within the mainline Protestant tradition. Currently, 25% of mainline Protestants identify with the UMC, down slightly from 28% in 2007. More than six-in-ten people in the historically black Protestant tradition identify with Baptist denominations, including 22% who identify with the National Baptist Convention, the largest denomination within the historically black Protestant tradition. The share of the public identifying with religions other than Christianity has grown from 4.7% in 2007 to 5.9% in 2014. Gains were most pronounced among Muslims (who accounted for 0.4% of respondents in the 2007 Religious Landscape Study and 0.9% in 2014) and Hindus (0.4% in 2007 vs. 0.7% in 2014).12 Roughly one-in-seven participants in the new survey (15%) were born outside the U.S., and two-thirds of those immigrants are Christians, including 39% who are Catholic. More than one-in-ten immigrants identify with a non-Christian faith, such as Islam or Hinduism. Hindus and Jews continue to be the most highly educated religious traditions. Fully 77% of Hindus are college graduates, as are 59% of Jews (compared with 27% of all U.S. adults). These groups also have above-average household incomes. Fully 44% of Jews and 36% of Hindus say their annual family income exceeds $100,000, compared with 19% of the public overall.

    (FB 1550243946 Timestamp) THOROUGH TREATMENT OF CURRENT POSITION ON CHRISTIAN RELIGION. As I’ve stated repeatedly, and especially recently.

    1. Propertarianism’s natural law consists largely of the extension of fraud protection from commerce to all walks of life. This has been necessary to save our people from extermination, because of their genetic, cultural, and religious vulnerability to false promise and sophism (fraud).
    2. Our people are being conquered in the present by the use of a particular technique invented by the ancient jews, and practiced today: false promise and baiting into moral hazard, and argued with pilpul (justificationary sophism) and critique (critical sophism).

    3. Marxism (working classes), Postmodernism(intellectual classes), Feminism( women) and denialism (political classes) are simply another means of defeating europeans in the present using the same techniques as judaism (undermining) , christianity (weakening), and islam (conquering) in the ancient world. And we were only saved in the past by the restoration of aryanism by the northern europeans in both the old and new worlds.

    4. The abrahamic religions are a cancer to mankind: judaism, christianity, and islam and they have destroyed or nearly destroyed (us), every great civilization of the ancient world. They are, figuratively, the most dysgenic thing that has ever happened to mankind, with only Manorialism, aggressive hanging of troublemakers, wars, and harsh Winters providing resistance to genetic cultural and institutional regression.

    5. However among those lies exists the optimum group strategy which is the reason that christianity assists primitive people in developing a middle class:
      a) that the commons is sacred – meaning not for personal consumption or cost imposition.
      b) the eradication of hatred from the human heart. c) the extension of kinship love to non-kin.
      d) the demand for personal acts of charity and personal cost,
      e) the extension of exhaustive forgiveness before punishment, enserfment, enslavement, death, or war.
      This strategy is, scientifically the optimum group evolutionary strategy – if limited to the IN GROUP.

    6. But Christianity is not limited to the in group and universal meaning it is suicidal. The strategy has a very limited range of success, and that is about the rate at which we produce generations. And therefore we cannot use this strategy in concert with immigration (invasion).

    7. But christianity says we are equal and we are not. Many people are either a dead weight or harm to the population and are best removed from it – but since others do the job of outcasing christians ‘free ride’ (break christian rule).

    8. But christians do not perform personal acts of charity today. they do the opposite. They virtue signal. And as such are no longer christian. Since without personal (not monetary, but interpersonal) acts of charity one is no longer a christian just a claim to the benefits of christianity, without paying the costs of it.

    9. The churches and christianity are in decline, impoverished, closing and absent a new generation of members (a certain death) for the simple reason: that the only religious group that reformed post-darwin were the evangelicals. They moved to jesus rather than god, they moved to mindfulness rather than submission, and they retained family, and they emphasized personal relationships and large scale gatherings. The mormons have an exceptional social order but are running out of population to convert, have broken ethnicity, and have not adjusted accordingly. These are common problems of businesses that cannot produce results without new products or new customers. Orthodoxy is less political and more ritualistic and seems to have survived simply by not seeking to obtain or retain the political and economic power of the protestant and catholic churches. Catholicism as unabashedly given up on europe and anglodom, and is an african and south american and east asian religion today – because it cannot reform nor can it survive without economic rents it had under the middle ages.

    10. I cannot and will not leave a ‘hole’ in the law for abrahamists (false promise, baiting into moral hazard, pilpul(justificationary sophism) and critique (critical sophism), and the associated straw manning (distraction and overloading), to once again come back and attempt to harm my people with their frauds. This would mean not solving the problem permanently – and our law must do so for our survival.

    11. I have deflated and disambiguated religion into its requisite components. These components serve only one purpose, and that is to provide mindfulness that is necessary given the our prey response and related neuroticism given the uncertainty of human scale of cooperation – more so than the suffering (borderline starvation) and disease endemic under agrarian life. and even more so given the current problem of the dissolution of the family – the only remaining tribe in which can insure its members.

    12. These components consist of:

    (a) some method of obtaining mindfulness, through some sort of ritual, (b) some mythology that provides a common group competitive strategy across the clases permitting cooperation without conflict toward a shared end between peoples of vast difference in ability, value, and resources, (c) ritual of recitation, oath and feast to demonstrate and reinforce and repeat investment in that strategy, (d) festival feast sport and holiday that again reduce the differences between the classes, and reinforce the sense of reciprocity and proportionality that the (purely analytic) subconscious mind requires to maintain trust (c) the intergenerational transfer of familial and social debt obligations. And these religions evolved in this sequence: (a) burying the dead (mindfulness over loss by paying debts) (b) celebrating victories or hunts (by paying debts) (c) sacrifice (making a deposit ) (d) seasons (deposit and debt payment) (e) organizing plantings and harvests (forecasting) (f) a political religion (organizing a large illiterate society under storytelling ) (g) an undermining religion – reversing evolution and power by undermining the aristocracy with writing and speech. (h) pseudoscientific religion – conducting warfare against a people with false economic promise and political promise, rather than life after death.

    1. A religion is not what it claims or its doctrine mandates or wisdom literature advises, but the result of their observation and practice regardless of those claims. A study of world religions through time illustrates quite clearly that while each religious system provides some benefits it comes at great cost.

    (a) Gypsies and Judaism through persecution by hosts for their survival by parasitism. They are throughout history parasitic peoples. Gypsies through petty theft and prostitution, judaism through undermining, baiting into moral hazard, allying with the state, and seeking rents against the people, their culture their norms and their institutions; and islam directly so under physical threat forcible indoctrination, taxation into submission, rather than cunning and manipulation and deceit. (b) Islam results in internal genetic, cultural, and institutional decline (accumulated capital consumption) and the inability to develop a central government, a bureaucratic class free of corruption, an educated populace, and a demographic distribution sufficient for scientific literacy and cognition. (c) Christianity, vulnerability to deception, vulnerability to military conquest, insulation from scientific knowledge, and escapism over action, leaving a minority of the aristocratic class to parent the society in order to protect it from the same decline as islam. (d) Buddhism detachment from reality, and the incentive for tolerance rather than action – leaving the aristocratic chinese-confucian and the martial japanese paternal classes to parent these civilizations. and the people in stasis rather than decline. (e) Hinduism is hard to judge but it is perhaps the most honest religion, but leaves the people vulnerable to conquest by every single group that happens to wander by. Whether this is a result of demographics or the religion is something difficult to understand. But the general orderliness and pacifism of the religion and the politics, the submissiveness of the people, the lack of a militia left india vulnerable to divide and conquer politically, and easy conquest militarily. Russia has her winters and scale, but india has her population and scale, and both are difficult to defeat in the long run for reasons not related to their culture or wisdom. Pakistan is the center of ancient india and hit has been conquered and taken and is now hostile to the core of the remaining civlization. In the old world, secular indian thought, chinese secular thought, and european secular thought appear to be the only thought of value in the world for organising a large ignorant, unintelligent, superstitious, poor underclass such that they produce sufficient income that the patriarchal aristocracy can hold the territory from conquest. The rest was just habit. We cannot know this yet but it is likely that groups simply do then as today, practice grammars of allegory on one end and rason on the other depending upon the median of the distribution of the population and that the reason for secular and scientific rise is largely due not only to trade but to eugenic culling of the classes dependent upon superstition and deceit for survival.

    1. The west’s organizing property was the common law. The gods were not superiors but those to be tolerated or asked, or those that we might ascend into by heroism. This resulted in aa separation of rule (law) and festival (religion) rather than the totalitarian conflation of religion and law. Leaving open a competition. Greeks invented reason and moral law. Romans invented empirical law and disavowed greek idealism – in concert with traditional european tradition. The greco anatolians brought up epicureanism and stoicism as means of providing the middle and upper middle classes with mindfulness possible in the world of reason. The romans expanded it. so as far as I know the law, ancestor thanks, archetypal thanks (proxies for kin and nature)and stoicism are the only ‘good’ religions, free of the vulnerabilities of semitic deceit and the cancer they bring to each civilization.
    2. So I know how to allow our natural religion to emerge by combining the good of christianity and the good of ancestor and nature thanks (intergenerational transfer of debts), buand I now ow to use stoicism and ritual and festival and oath to restore our people. I know how to restore religion (teaching, education) to a central function of the social order. I know that wit enough time the religions will adapt to natural incentives. But I do not know how to do this without either engaging in abrahamic lying myself (pilpul) or prohibiting the church from making claims that everything in christianity is either children’s story or lie, and that we must take the wisdom from it despite its falsehood rather than claim that any of it is true. And yes, I understand that the reason these religions function is that they are producing a natural drug response within the brain’s reward system, and that followers experience an addiction response when threatened and defend the source of their addiction to the death. I understand the underlying psychology of disintermediation by fictional characters and the value this has to the human mind – particularly the dim, vulnerable, and undisciplined.

    3. Worse I undrestand that our history alone is that of gods ourselves, for a having dragged mankind out of ignorance and superstition, an poverty, and disease. And it is our people, our kin, and our civilization in the pre christian and post christian worlds that did so. And that this comparison between truth and lies makes the semitic people and their death cults look like the peasantry they are, and the liars they are, and the low trust people they are, and the cancer pon making that they are. So why submit to the gods of evil and failed parasitic and destructive peoples who are a cancer upon mankind and the bringers of ignorance and superstition and dark ages – rather than give thanks (pay debt) our own ancestors, our own ancient gods (archetypes), our own heroes and our own achievements, and the beauty, wonder, and plenty of nature itself?

    4. If we are to survive, we must survive the semites, and their death cults of judaism, christianity, and islam, and the language of death and deceit we call abraham: false promise, baiting into moral hazard, an the sophisms of pilpul and critique.

    5. It is thru the window of Christianity and the submissiveness that these people lie, bait, guilt, invade, and destroy us. If Christianity is our weakness, than I see it must be reformed from a semitic death cult to the history of a very simple man, the son of a roman solider and a jewish prostitute, with a very simple message of love for one another and the end of predation upon one another. And the rest of Saul of Tarsus’ lies must be gone forever. Along with the excuses for those lies we call theology and doctrine, and the long literature of our defeat, conquest, and submission. Instead, law, science, truth, and history and the glory and divinity of our people .

    6. So in the conflict between the future our ouf people, and your addiction to a death cult and the means of lying within that death cult – and the promise of a new religion that takes the best of all, and one of the lies, I chose the new: Our own. My people. Our people. The european people – those people that have dragged humanity from a victim of nature to its master. Man is now god he imagined. But he is so because of the indo european people, and in particular the people of europe and their stange law in the ancient and modern world, while the chinese hid behind their desert and walls and left the hard labor of resisting the animals to us. We have been at war with the semites since we crossed the bosphorus. And they have been winning for all but the past hundred years. Time to end the war – and separate from them and prohibit them and their ideas from our lands, our minds, and our religions. Because the alternative is our extinction or theirs.

Romans invented empirical law and disavowed greek idealism – in concert with traditional european tradition. The greco anatolians brought up epicureanism and stoicism as means of providing the middle and upper middle classes with mindfulness possible in the world of reason. The romans expanded it. so as far as I know the law, ancestor thanks, archetypal thanks (proxies for kin and nature)and stoicism are the only ‘good’ religions, free of the vulnerabilities of semitic deceit and the cancer they bring to each civilization.
    2. So I know how to allow our natural religion to emerge by combining the good of christianity and the good of ancestor and nature thanks (intergenerational transfer of debts), buand I now ow to use stoicism and ritual and festival and oath to restore our people. I know how to restore religion (teaching, education) to a central function of the social order. I know that wit enough time the religions will adapt to natural incentives. But I do not know how to do this without either engaging in abrahamic lying myself (pilpul) or prohibiting the church from making claims that everything in christianity is either children’s story or lie, and that we must take the wisdom from it despite its falsehood rather than claim that any of it is true. And yes, I understand that the reason these religions function is that they are producing a natural drug response within the brain’s reward system, and that followers experience an addiction response when threatened and defend the source of their addiction to the death. I understand the underlying psychology of disintermediation by fictional characters and the value this has to the human mind – particularly the dim, vulnerable, and undisciplined.

    3. Worse I undrestand that our history alone is that of gods ourselves, for a having dragged mankind out of ignorance and superstition, an poverty, and disease. And it is our people, our kin, and our civilization in the pre christian and post christian worlds that did so. And that this comparison between truth and lies makes the semitic people and their death cults look like the peasantry they are, and the liars they are, and the low trust people they are, and the cancer pon making that they are. So why submit to the gods of evil and failed parasitic and destructive peoples who are a cancer upon mankind and the bringers of ignorance and superstition and dark ages – rather than give thanks (pay debt) our own ancestors, our own ancient gods (archetypes), our own heroes and our own achievements, and the beauty, wonder, and plenty of nature itself?

    4. If we are to survive, we must survive the semites, and their death cults of judaism, christianity, and islam, and the language of death and deceit we call abraham: false promise, baiting into moral hazard, an the sophisms of pilpul and critique.

    5. It is thru the window of Christianity and the submissiveness that these people lie, bait, guilt, invade, and destroy us. If Christianity is our weakness, than I see it must be reformed from a semitic death cult to the history of a very simple man, the son of a roman solider and a jewish prostitute, with a very simple message of love for one another and the end of predation upon one another. And the rest of Saul of Tarsus’ lies must be gone forever. Along with the excuses for those lies we call theology and doctrine, and the long literature of our defeat, conquest, and submission. Instead, law, science, truth, and history and the glory and divinity of our people .

    6. So in the conflict between the future our ouf people, and your addiction to a death cult and the means of lying within that death cult – and the promise of a new religion that takes the best of all, and one of the lies, I chose the new: Our own. My people. Our people. The european people – those people that have dragged humanity from a victim of nature to its master. Man is now god he imagined. But he is so because of the indo european people, and in particular the people of europe and their stange law in the ancient and modern world, while the chinese hid behind their desert and walls and left the hard labor of resisting the animals to us. We have been at war with the semites since we crossed the bosphorus. And they have been winning for all but the past hundred years. Time to end the war – and separate from them and prohibit them and their ideas from our lands, our minds, and our religions. Because the alternative is our extinction or theirs.

    (FB 1550426714 Timestamp) WHY MEN WILL FIGHT Men will not fight for christianity. That is evident. Christian faith is and has been, a pacifier that brings conquest. Yes, men will include christianity in what they will fight for. They will fight primarily for the material restoration of their way of life for them and their children first. and they will fight for altruistic punishment – a high cost of punishing the immoral opposition. This is our message and our policy. Those of us who are post-theological, post philosophical, and scientific, and favor our natural religion will not fight for christianity, but we will fight for your freedom to practice. There is every evidence men will fight for the material, and simply ‘virtue signal’ everything else as means of cooperation on the optimum POSSIBLE END, not the impossible IDEAL end. So we who will fight will do so, and christians are just virtue signaling. There will be only islam extermination and poverty if we lose. There will be christianity, heathanism, philosophy, science, law, the restoration of our civilization, our families, our people, if we win. If that is not good enough for you then you don’t matter. You are no better than the enemy. Curt Doolittle

    (FB 1550423126 Timestamp) CLOSING IN ON METAPHYSICS AS NON-EXISTENT, or simply cogn sci: demarcation between observable and experienceable. What is metaphysics other than either operational description(existential) or fiction(inexistential)? Why is M not just another scale of physics just as chemistry another scale of atomic states, and atomic states just another scale of particles, and particles just another scale of fundamental forces, and fundamental forces just another scale of information? Sentience and consiousness are just another scale of the physical world in operation. So just as space time is the result of underlying physical reactions, so are experience and consiousness. I am getting closer I think to understanding the confusion of those who claim it exists but I still have to agree with those who say it is handwaving. AFAIK. the human experience is just a continuation of physics, and all operations and experiences explicable in fairly simple terms the underlying mechanics of which only matter in producing aggregates. Metaphysics as far as I know, simply means the ontology(paradigms) of cognitive science at different levels of commensurable operations (scales), just as physics consists of ontologies(paradigms) at different levels of commensurable operations(scales), and I have seen nothing to alter that understanding (even in aristotle) that proposition other than attempts at sophism, pseudoscience, occult, and fraud. And I am absolutely positive that this will persist. My understanding of the reason is that different disciplines use incompatible (incommensurable) paradigms (ontologies) and as such people have to fictionalize relations between them. However, operatios (analogy to experience no matter how difficult to experience) serves as a universally commensurable system of measurement within and across all scales whether physical or cognitive (or linguistic) and as such M is not a discipline but simply cog sci, and all attempts to say otherwise are simply fictionalisms to compensate for incommensurability generating demand for fictions. In other words fictions produce conflation inflation and opportunity for inductive and deductive error from false premises (ontologies, paradigms), and simply serve as sources of ignorance, fraud, and deceit (Popper). Ergo, metaphysics consists simply an extension of physics in the same commensurable language of operations, and there are not multiple metaphysics, just ignorance, error, bias, wishful thinking, suggestion and obscurantism, fictionalism and deceit.. And I can’t find any alternative explanation. And I’m not at all unique in this understanding. (Van Frassen, McGinn, Thomassen cited in SEP). And the anti-positivist criticism does not hold against falsificationism/critical naturalism – only asks for commensurability across scales, to maintain coherence and parsimony in defense against error, bias, fiction and deceit. And I am still stuck with the non-anglo desire for empathy with ontologies (experiencing) rather than objectivity(describing). Is this purely cultural or are scandinavian(northern european) peoples genetically different in that we have greater distance (agency) between intuition and cognition. AFAIK every problem I have encountered that we call metaphysics is simply a grammatical error. In fact, I’m not sure philosophy exists of much other than grammatical errors (Malformed calculations). And this is because language is a system of measurement that is only as useful as grammatical demands (tolerances) allow. And that as a system of measurement the only deflationary and inflationary method of speech is operations. While certain philosophers have made this claim and have been attacked, these attacks occur under the fallacy of closure in the system of language itself. Which is a common sophomoric argument in philosophical discourse. The only closure is reality itself in toto.

    (FB 1550407650 Timestamp) PROPERTARIANISM VS IT’S APPLICATION The law exists so that those with material interests (power) preserve the value of cooperation by forcing people into, and limiting them to, the market, and denying them non-market means (within the limits of cost and ability). Propertarianism explains how to use this law (logic) to suppress those forms of parasitism that are currently not, because we lacked a means of doing so. In particular (and I have only come to understand this myself over the past few years) it suppresses baiting into moral hazard, which is the general technique of exploitation that is in use. (including your sophism above). P it’s purely empirical. “people do this”, “this is why”, “self interest of those with interests”, “where almost all but the marginal cases have interests.” You can build any political order with P that you want precisely because it is an algorithmic logic (grammar), as long as you do it truthfully. To falsify P would require you falsify rational choice, reciprocity, and self interest. To state you would prefer to built some other form of government no matter how honest or dishonest, productive or parasitic, would still be explicable in P, and peoples’ behavior under it would still be universally expliable with P, because P is not a philosophy (should) but a science (is). It is the science and logic of what we call the psychological, linguistic, social sciences, and political sciences. Now you can ‘bitch’ about the fact that I use this logic to advocate for rule of law – the most parsimonious expression of that science – because you like or do not like that particular world (because it would crush ‘creativity in dishonesty’) which means ‘witty people’ have no more utility in their manipulation of others in order to obtain self image, social status, and various forms of influence. But that is the point altogether. P is simply ‘true’. What you do it it is a matter of your (power-group’s) preferences. I prefer to crush the abrahamic deceits (baiting into moral hazard by sophisms, pseudosciences, supernaturalisms, and deceits) and to use this to save my people from their lies. Maybe you prefer otherwise. But I am fairly sure that the mainstream will prefer my argument and policy recommendations over the alternatives and this lowers their resistance to its implementation relative to your alternatives. Again. Please don’t try to be smarter. You aren’t in the first place (even close) and P is quite a superpower – just like reason, empiricism, and science were superpowers before it. The more I use P, the better I get at it, the more I understand the revolution in human thought and experience that would be brought about is as great as the previous revolutions provided by western thought (reason, empiricism, science).
