    THE TRANSFORMATION OF CHRISTIANITY.

    —“How hard is it necessary to counter-signal Christianity? I hate Christianity as such. But it doesn’t seem terribly productive because most of them are never going to change – at least in this generation.”— A Friend

    I don’t know myself. I’m running the experiment. That’s what I do. I attack ideas to see if they survive or not. Most long time followers know that’s how I work.

    So far I can’t find a reason to hold onto Christianity other than to take over the institutions and to demote the various fables to just ‘another one of the legends’.

    I would prefer to abandon all of the new testament and the majority of the old, other than some of the babylonian myths (the flood etc.). And I would like to cast each of the ‘gods’ of the zoroastrians and the abrahamists as different gods. And to restore sky-father as our ‘pater familia’.

    For the preachers, I can see using all legends to teach (a) transcendence, (b) the monomyth, (c) the various plots within the monomyth, (d) the archetypes that serve those plots, and (e) the virtues each archetype teaches us. Then to apply those lessons to the problems of the day or era. And to apply them to the cycles of life and the ways in which the different classes can handle them.

    For spirtuality, then to teach mindfulness and the virtues via stoicism, the discourse with the gods as reformed prayer, and the use, if necessary of meditation where prayer, and virtues fail.

    As for the ritual, to replace the apostle’s creed with an oath more suitable to our people (truth, duty, etc), and the sacrifice and feast ritual to something more suitable to our people.

    As for funding the church I prefer to merge the spiritual and material disciplines into one institution, by combining church and education, thereby providing a means of funding, and a constant flow of generations. A section of the constitution for the church/school as well as one for the state.

    To defend the church/school and the people, to attach an armory and militia and funding for the militia to any church that can raise one.

    If done so, then the church (family) is restored to its position as a competitor to the state (houses).

    This is the theory I”m working with since it eliminates falsehood, restores the competition between family and state, and provides a method of funding and opposing the state (government).

    This is but one small part of what I’m doing. I’m just working through the theory to see if it survives.

  • Since, like the chinese system demonstrated knowledge of the political system is

    Since, like the chinese system demonstrated knowledge of the political system is demonstrably harmful compared to the british requirement for demonstrated SUCCESS in the production of the private and common before one could participate in the political process.

    The political process is relatively meaningless. It is a market for favors within a market for divvying up the spoils of population density.

    So while we originally had a ‘house’ for each class: the monarchy (‘private governor of last resort’), the regional nobility (private ‘governors’ of regional businesses), the house of commons (‘private governors of homes – small businesses’) we now have majority rule by women and the peasantry.

    Where Jefferson’s intention was to widen the net of enfranchisement as widely as possible because nearly everyone participated in the markets (owned property, farmed), but where the lower classes (slave, ‘serf’, employee) who were not successful at responsibility for others, had no influence – today what percentage of people demonstrate responsibility for (a) the business of the home (b) a small or medium business, (c) a large business or region. And what percentage of people are outside of the market where goods and services must perform? (media, schools, academy, state bureaucracies, and employees of most businesses).

    So the question is not *who knows how the government works* (since it’s a trivial question), but *who can produce demonstration of knowledge of how the world works, such that we minimize the damage that slaves, serfs, employees, bureaucrats, and intellectuals, who don’t have any warranty of responsibility cannot do the damage to our civilization*

    It is one thing to say we should not have mob rule. It is another thing to say we should have ‘reported pretense of understanding’, and quite another that has DEMONSTRATED application of understanding.

    In other words, a bureaucracy with ‘reporting’ epistemology is just another self-reinforcing fantasy priesthood (like the postmodern academy) while a DEMONSTRATED epistemology provides a the only scientific method of selecting people for the operation of a government.

    Reasoning is nothing without empirical, operational, rational, reciprocal, and fully accounted for tests of one’s reasoning. Reason is just another form of fantasy literature.

    It’s acting with it as a formula that decides the veracity of the literature.

  • WHY DIDN’T WE PREVENT CANTOR’S INFINITIES? (Ghosts?) by Propertarian Frank The e

    WHY DIDN’T WE PREVENT CANTOR’S INFINITIES? (Ghosts?)

    by Propertarian Frank

    The exact same argument we use to stop believing in ghosts should have prevented Cantor’s infinities. But it didn’t.

    (1) People familiar with Diagonal Argument and understand it is epistemic cancer.

    (2) People familiar with advanced Platonist trickery like the Diagonal Argument and buy it even though they avoid falling for Platonism in other domains.

    (3) People that are unfamiliar with advanced Platonist trickery, but intuitively understand truth is ultimately about actionable reality.

    (4) People that are unfamiliar with advanced Platonist trickery, and believe in primitive forms of Platonism (theism, dualism).

    Type (1) people will get testimonialism immediately.

    Type (2) people could be persuaded. Trick is to prompt them to explain what differentiates the type of reasoning Cantor uses from the type of reasoning that tries to determine how many angels can dance simultaneously on the head of a pin. Induce cognitive dissonance by making explicit that wishful thinking is only possible when you use non-constructed names.

    Type (3) people lack the information necessary to judge constructionism in philosophy of mathematics. Understanding Testimonialism requires a bare minimum of familiarity with philosophy of science. Absolute key concept is ‘decidability’. How does a type (3) person ascertain that he ‘gets’ operationalism? Through demonstration in something like the ‘line exercise’ from the other day. So, unfortunately, this type of person will miss the profundity and importance of operationalism. (Seeing the importance of operationalism was the reason I kept reading your corpus). We need to see concrete instances of a method failing so that we can eventually incorporate the solution to that failure into our epistemological method. Without the concretes, it’s impossible. Unfortunately, adding lessons on the Diagonal Argument, operationalism in psychology, instrumentalism and measurement in physics etc, would not be feasible methods for familiarizing the uninitiated. In other words, if you haven’t spent considerable time thinking about philosophy of science already, courses in Propertarianism will not convince you, because you lack the means of judging them.

    Type (4) people are the hardest to persuade. You have to show them a domain in which Idealism fails, and prompt them to think about why they think it doesn’t fail in this other domain. If you can’t crush their Platonist belief in a certain domain (due to emotional blocks for instance), they can’t consistently apply operationalism. The fact that they haven’t already given up on simpler forms of Platonism indicates that they may have psychological blocks. Ergo, I think this type of person is the least amenable to learn Testimonialism through video lectures.

  • CONSPIRACY THEORY: THE THING YOU RAIL AGAINST IS AN IQ, AGENCY, AND SANITY TEST

    CONSPIRACY THEORY: THE THING YOU RAIL AGAINST IS AN IQ, AGENCY, AND SANITY TEST

    As far as I know, yes, in any organizational structure, whenever the organization fails, there is always some blame avoidance going to occur, because it probably was preventable with more aggressive action. Yet there is no reward for reorganizing the priorities of any organization.

    That has nothing to do with a ‘conspiracy’ other than a conspiracy of common interest to avoid blame.

    That has nothing to do with the pseudoscientific nonsense that a building that size, subject to those events, would fall precisely in that manner.

    Buildings pancake all over the world. The technical term is ‘Progressive Collapse’. There is no miracle to it. A small earthquake is enough under the right conditions. I’ve seen jack-failures during a renovation cause it.

    That has nothing to do with the pseudoscientific nonsense that the smaller buildings would not collapse from even minor damage associated with the event.

    All of this has to do with precisely what I stated: there is a very, very, very high correlation with affinity to conspiracy theories, affinity to addiction, affinity for schizotypal behavior and though, and affinity to ‘fight’ dunning kruger effects to preserve self-imaage and self confidence given the ‘continuous failure of cognition’ the individuals of these disabilities demonstrate.

    In other words, affinity for conspiracies is a form of animism or anthropomorphism where very simple people preserve some semblance of control over their minds and emotions given continuous falsification of their control of their minds, and emotions in reality.

    In fact, that might be the perfect description of a diagnosis of schizotypal behavior, and the causes of the behavior we see manifest in such people.

    “grasping at straws we can understand’ is a phenomenon universal to all people who lack sufficient intelligence to understand and change, a status quo or condition that they find unacceptable.

    Stupid can’t tolerate being stupid so stupid is drawn to convictions that justify stupid’s emotional frustration. The fact that one chooses something absurd to vent one’s frustration against is demonstration of one’s stupidity.

    Or better said, we can measure intelligence of the frustrated by the category of problem they demonize.

    That should tell you everything you need to know about the psychology of different ‘interest groups’ in across every dimension of the political and moral spectrum.

    Smart does as smart does, and stupid does as stupid does.

    Hence why I argue that all people are merely participants in a conspiracy of common interests between their genes. The rest is all theatre of avoidance, acceptance, persuasion and deceit.

    Truth hurts all of us.

  • THE LESSON OF HISTORY: THE CANCER OF ABRAHAMISM, AND THE ENLIGHTENMENT AS THE AR

    THE LESSON OF HISTORY: THE CANCER OF ABRAHAMISM, AND THE ENLIGHTENMENT AS THE ARYAN RESTORATION

    One does not reject christianity in favor of postmodernism, or marxism, or islamism – one rejects all abrahamism in favor of Aryanism. A return to Aryanism.

    Aryanism: truth, heroism, sovereignty, techne (knowledge), and competitive excellence: dominion over man and nature and therefore transcendence.

    Abrahamism is to reject Aryanism by demanding its opposites: lying(-truth), submission(-heroism), sovereignty (-collectivism and equality), ignorance and superstition (-techne and laws of nature), and equality(-competitive excellence) and surrender to the passions of the animal man and to forgo transcendence and retreat into animal.

    ‘Abrahamism includes Judaism, it’s heresy of Christianity, Christianity’s heresy of Islam.

    The evidence is clear: the jews were the most literate people but lost their territory, and were almost exterminated multiple times, and they contributed precisely nothing to the betterment of mankind despite their literacy.

    The Aryan man dragged mankind out of superstition, ignorance, poverty, in the ancient world.

    The Christian man descended into ignorance, superstition, poverty, disease, and tyranny under christianity, peaking in 1000ad, and from 1200 ad onward incrementally restored his aryanism, casting off abrahamism between 1480 and 1800, then again from 1800 to 1914.

    Starting in the 1700’s, in opposition to the Enlightenment (Aryan Restoration) the French reinvented secular Abrahamism, which led to the bloody french revolution and the end of french civilization, and the reduction of france to a feminine people.

    But starting in the mid 1800’s with boaz, marx, freud, the abrahamists invented pseudoscience where before they invented pseudo-mythology.

    And beginning with the defeat of the Russian orthodox peoples by the Bolsheviks, and the folly of Russian people under communism, it took almost a century to free Russians from lies, and the damage the russian people under the Abrahamists had done to the world.

    The French retaliated again, and evolved Abrahamism again, converted abrahamic Marxism to Abrahamic postmodernism. And it is postmodernism that has infected the west yet again, with another wave of feminine abrahamism.

    Because of this infection of the west, Islam is not contained any longer, and masculine islam is conquering feminine postmodernism.

    The same is true for islam: islam was nothing, and destroyed the four great civilizations of the ancient world: The north african, the levantine, the roman, and the persian. And for 1400 years the west, much of india, and the far east survived, until the west rose out of christianity and returned briefly to Aryanism. And almost succeeded from freeing herself under the German expansion.

    Had it not been for the conquest of russians by the eastern european bolshevik jews, the germans might have saved us from Abrahamism and completed the enlightenment: the restoration of our peoples.

    Abrahamism is a cancer of the mind. Everyone suffers for it. Just because something is appealing, does not make it good.

    Between Islam (250M dead), and Communism (+100M dead), and the destruction of the North African, Levantine, Roman, and Persian empires, nothing has been worse for humanity than Abrahamism – even the black plagues pale in comparison.

    Yet, a small group of men practicing Aryanism can drag all of mankind out of superstition, ignorance, poverty, disease, and tyranny of the ignorant.

    Those people conquered everything from spain to the gobi desert.

    But wherever they conquered they were absorbed by the local population and lost.

    Wherever we eradicated others, we survived.

    The Iranian branch developed zoroastrianism – submission to one god. The jews invented abrahamism. And they invented it to resist both European and Iranian Peoples.

    To practice Abrahamism is to practice suicide.

    That is the lesson of history.

    IMPORTANT FOR FELLOW AI THINKERS

    (great find)

    0) I would need to understand the operational descriptions of the eleven dimensions, or whether through modeling they have discovered that intelligence requires at least 11 dimensions (which is creepy a bit because this is the same problem with string theory). I will work my way through their publications and see if I can contact anyone there for feedback.

    1) um. Their technique is ‘the proper’ way of describing ‘pure relations’ as geometry (similar to E8 for example), and this is the only way I have discovered of constructing AI’s:through intermediary phenomenon in topological spaces. (what we call lie groups in mathematics). Or what this article refers to geometry and holes.

    2) In the mid 2000s I was working with a few people (from the B2 bomber software team, and microsoft developer and tools) on the use of topology (euclidian spaces), to create software that would spawn processes (agents) that would search topologies (relations in algebraic geometry) of different manifold (topical stores) to produce artificial intelligence, (defeating google)

    I was not in the health, financial, or mental condition to launch that huge an effort. It would have been too expensive. But the theory, must in fact, work. And it is, as far as I know, the solution to the problem.

    3) This work was helpful in my development of Acquisitionism (and later all of Propertarianism and Testimonialism, because to make comparisons possible across all the various topologies one needed a semantic system to provide consistent categories of measure. That system is “PROPERTY”.

    4) This is why I am not afraid of AI’s. We can create ‘consciences’ for AI’s just as easily as we do in humans, and it is the MARKET FOR SOLUTIONS that serve both the desire (acquisition) and the conscience (non-aggression) that allow us to produce non-dangerous artificial intelligences.

    WE ALL SEEK RENTS, BUT THERE IS A SOLUTION.

    All human organizations expand to the maximum consumption and distribution of rents, until there is insufficient free capital to use as incentives to reorganize the organization in response to changes anywhere from incremental to shocks.

    Cooperation evolved as a means of suppression alpha rents ( domination of reproduction and calorie consumption), freeing up the potential cooperation and reproduction of people in exchange for the development of moral instincts.

    The institution of Property evolved as a means of suppressing family, kin, clan, tribe, and headman rents, therefore freeing up the incentives and productivity of people.

    The state evolved as a means of centralizing rents which were used to suppress local rents, thus eliminating local transaction costs of the people.

    The empire evolved as a means of centralizing rents which were used to suppress regional rents, thus eliminating transaction costs of the commercial peoples.

    Organizations of commercial people evolve by the provision of rents (rewards) for loyalty to a network of production.

    Larger organizations evolved by the organization and provision of capital in order to provide rents (rewards), in exchange for suppressing the rents of many smaller organizations.

    At some point one always needs to create ‘a larger’ organization to suppress the smaller organization’s rents, and improve the ability of people to cooperate at lower cost.

    That larger or perhaps largest organization, is the militia, and its function is to suppress the parasitism of the State.

    I HAVE NO SENSE OF WOO. 😉

    -Childhood-

    I went to church every sunday. I went to catholic school on saturdays. I read the bible twice. once in seventh grade, and once in … I think it was senior year. I graduated from a private catholic boy’s school. I read the catholic encyclopedia, or at least most of it.

    -A Literary Map-

    I … thanks to my era and mother, read all the fairy tales when young and particularly disney’s take on the germanic tales. I was obsessed with weapons engineering in grade school, and samuel colt was my hero in middle school – read his biography so many times I can’t recall. I drew mazes. big ones. 18/24 and 24/36, and I did a lot of drawing of buildings and houses and hallways. I read the greek myths, I don’t remember when. But mostly I read encyclopedias and science fiction. I have zero recollection of anything in the bible as meaningful, but overwhelming recollection of encyclopedia britannica in particular, or the oxford english dictionary, and a lot of science fiction as formative. I didn’t read any fantasy until I was in college, and initially found it terrible, until I found Conan and Elric, and I understood how those characters were meaningful avenues back into our ancient history – our myths before our conquest and defeat by christianity. Even then I read science, archaeology and history almost exclusively and only visited sf/fantasy when I needed an exit. (I”ve read an awful lot of the the top 100 classics, but none of them affected me. Too ‘shallow’.)

    -The Author’s Perspective-

    But you know, I have a ‘talent’ for logic that is somewhat abnormal, and I actually don’t see, hear, feel, or remember nonsense words, and my subconscious translates nonsense-prose into something relatively analytic on the order of ‘Oh, I see what the author was trying to do here.” This is why I can’t read fiction. I just see it as a technical exercise in script-writing, or article writing, or paper-writing. I don’t experience it at all.

    -Scripture?-

    So where you read ‘scripture’, I read a bunch of fairy tales written for ignorant peasant children, from the viewpoint of the author writing the fairy tales, so that he can fool them into letting him boss them around. That’s all I see.

    -The Character of Evil-

    I think that abrahamic god is so fucking evil that I cannot understand how anyone could even imagine something good about a world he held dominion over. As far as I can tell he’s a demon or devil not a god. And I have no respect … actually, I fear such people as if they’re zombies – and I treat them as such. Observant and kind and harmless christian zombies, parasitic jewish zombies, horrific muslim zombies, and every other kind of zombie. I call ‘the scary stupid’ people ‘zombies’. Mostly because they’re stupid and irrational, and dangerous and can hurt me.

    NET: I HAVE NO SENSE OF WOO.

    Or rather, the only time I feel ‘woo’ is when I see the evidence of vast records of time in front of me like in or archaeology, or geology, or astronomy. The rest of the time. I just see humor, irony, fact, folly, or sadness.

    Usually from “the author’s” point of view.

    Cheers.

    I am an intellectual atheist. But I pray to my god all the time and pretty much daily. There is a difference between truth and utility.

    You can’t argue using anything to do with religion, but you sure as hell can USE the services of religion.

    And whether you desire those services in the form of meditation, in the form of stoic disciplines, in the form of ritual actions, in the form of ritual recitation, or in the form of discourse with a character, or some combination of all of the above, is merely whether you need to lie to yourself or not about what it is that you’re actually doing.

    Every form of mindfulness works. Meditation (turning off), Disciplines (virtues – directing), physical rituals (acting), recitation rituals (acting chanting), ritual discourse(praying), or any combination of the above.

    It’s just whether you need a lie or not to do it.

  • WHAT DID THE FOUNDING FATHERS SOUND LIKE? (Not that different from you really.)

    WHAT DID THE FOUNDING FATHERS SOUND LIKE?

    (Not that different from you really.)

    Um. Well, you know, this is one of those questions of degree of precision. And I’m going to answer in my best degree of precision.

    But let’s get a few things straight.

    1) “Faggy British English Pronunciation” is a fabrication of the 19th century, just like “Faggy french court pronunciation” is a total fabrication of the 17/18th. We have records of the transformation, and how and why it was done. (signaling). Americans tried ‘Mid Atlantic’ pronunciation for the same reasons in the early 20th century.

    2) If you listen to a middle class Scott, (not working class) it is about as accurate a living example of the common ancestor of British and American English pronunciation. I would venture that your ability to distinguish one of the founding fathers from an educated scott would be limited to the degree of “rhrotic?” (pronunciation of the ‘r’ sound). There is an archive online of world accents. In at least germanic languages, as intelligence, class, and status increases, people substitute articulate vocabulary for melodic loading, and soften the ‘hard’ sounds. Languages evolve under urban use along predictable lines.

    3) As I’ve stated before, as far as I know, the Germans, making the majority of the white population, principally farmers, probably caused a further flattening of tonality. And it’s this flattened tonality, that affected the original ‘scotts/irish’ (or what is really old english) pronunciation.

    4) Americans sound a lot more like founding fathers than the brits do. Our language is changing very fast right now as well.

    5) I am not sure how southern drawl evolved from and I haven’t looked at it in any depth. My undrestanding is that the settlers were from the lower classes and it evolved from that where the more northern peoples tended to be from the middle, upper middle and upper classes and their language evolved from that. I can’t really say anything better informed.

    I would love to be corrected but this is the state of my knowledge.
