According to Jacob Grimm’s Deutsche Mythologie, the idea of resurrection was ingrained within the celebration of Ostara: “Ostara, Eástre seems therefore to have been the divinity of the radiant dawn, of upspringing light, a spectacle that brings joy and blessing, whose meaning could be easily adapted by the resurrection-day of the christian’s God.” The 7th to 8th-century English monk Bede, wrote that Ēosturmōnaþ [ee-oh’-ster-mohnth’] (Old English: ‘Month of Ēostre’, translated in Bede’s time as “Paschal month”) was an English month, corresponding to April, which he says “was once called after a goddess of theirs named Ēostre, in whose honour feasts were celebrated in that month”. The most widely-practiced customs on Easter Sunday include the symbol of the rabbit (‘Easter bunny’) and the egg. The rabbit was a symbol associated with Eostre, representing the beginning of Springtime. Likewise, the egg has come to represent Spring, fertility and renewal.

Of Course We Can Demand Reciprocity
THE MARKET FOR RECIPROCITY? Yes we can create a market for truthful (non false, non-parasitic) political speech. In fact, it was the state that ended our market for truthful speech. Why? … Isn’t science an ongoing discovery process? doesn’t it function as a market for information, with career ending punishments for violators? Don’t we protect against fraud and deceit in the market for goods and services – and provide special protections that PROHIBIT us from defending the market for information against fraud and deceit? Didn’t we, for millennia, protect against libel(written) and slander(spoken), and don’t we grant special privileges that prevent us from using the course to protect ourselves from libel and slander – especially in large scale media? In other words, doesn’t the state PROHIBIT us from self defense against falsehoods? Why is it that we cannot in private advocate for conspiracy (theft), yet in public can advocate for conspiracy (theft) as long as the majority of conspirators approve of the theft? Why is it that we used to be able to protect the environment,and the commons via the judiciary, but the state removed our juridical defense? Why is it that the state removed our juridical defense against members of the bureaucracy, the government, the academy, and the media? Are you going to try to advocate that reciprocity (natural law) is not, in cooperation, the equivalence of truth (decidability)? Or are you saying specifically that people should be able to violate reciprocity and violate truth in order to use large numbers to impose thefts using the violence of the government, in order to obtain by non-reciprocity and deceit, that which they might obtain by voluntary exchange, thereby depriving those who have one thing from obtaining another thing in exchange? Just because you can’t figure out how to create law of information regarding political speech (forcible coercion) such that it holds to the same standards as market speech (goods, services, and information) doesn’t mean it can’t be done. In fact. it was done for millennia. The question is why did the state take it away, and why can we not restore it?

My mom. Adult Christianty is excellent: it’s all just parables. There is only one message: do unto others…. But you have to FEEL it.
And there is the rub. You can’t FEEL that stuff any longer.
Her statement: “The church was too late”.
I said. Well, the moment you have no means of measurement, whether your the church, the chinese government, or the american treasury, or amerian (lost) rule of law – you must revert to what you ‘sense’ and feel. And when you do that you must rely upon intuitions.
So you lose causal relations. If you don’t know causal relations, you lose the ability to change inputs, operations, and outputs.
the church evolved as an institution by which to manage an poor ignorant population by deception. And the church succeeded in providing administration (and vast corruption) to the illiterate people of europe (that they ensured remained illiterate),
The minute the church fathers lied to themselves about the function of their work, they were dead.
The academy took the money by market (sale of degrees) rather than tax (tithe) and created a new priesthood that did the same (government and teachers).
The problem? degrees are now indulgences – meaningless.

ETHICS AND POLITICS IN A NUTSHELL
by Joel Davis
We all want things to happen.
We all try to make them happen.
By the principle of recipriocity, we may develop a strategy which maximizes the likelihood of making the things we want to happen, happen.
How?
If people help you make the things you want to happen, help them in return.
If people don’t help or hinder making what you want to happen, don’t help or hinder them in return.
If people hinder you or the people who help you trying to make what you want to happen, hinder them in return, and if they don’t stop, kill them.
That way all the people who can help you will want to help you because you help them.
All the people who can’t help you will leave you alone because you leave them alone.
And, all the people who fuck up what you are trying to get done will either stop or die (and therefore stop).
Now, we establish families, friendships, communities, societies, nations and civilizations precisely so we can help each other make the things we want to happen.
So in order for these things to work best, we must help each other leave others alone who leave us alone and hinder others who hinder us and kill them if they don’t stop.
Otherwise we will lower the chances of making what we want to happen, happen.

WHAT KIND OF ANTI-MARKET ARE YOU? What kind of anti-market activity do you prefe
WHAT KIND OF ANTI-MARKET ARE YOU?
What kind of anti-market activity do you prefer?
– Fascism: anti-market for politics, commons, norms, and limited market for goods, services, and information
– Libertarianism: anti-market for commons, politics, but market for norms, goods, services, information.
– Libertinism: anti-market for norms,politics, but market for goods, services and information.
– Classical Liberalism: markets for good services and information, with limited-market for commons.
– Aristocracy: markets for everything except law and politics.
– Democratic socialism: minimum markets for politics, commons, and private property.
– Socialism: anti market for goods, services, and information
– Communism: anti market for politics, commons, norms, goods, services, and information.
CONSERVATIVE (MALE) Social Conservatives limit the market for goods, services, information, norms, commons, politics, to that which is EVIDENTIARY, and imposes no costs, requiring individuals develop agency and discipline – however they do so in archaic moral (childlike) language with a touch of economics thrown in.
PROGRESSIVE (FEMALE) Social Progressives limit the market for goods services, information, norms, commons, and politics to that which is HYPOTHETICAL, and imposes any possible costs, therefore NOT requiring individuals to develop agency and discipline – however they do so in modern moral and pseudoscientific language.
The frankfurt school modernized female discourse, but we have had no aristocratic school equivalent (until now) to modernize male language. Why? Uncomfortable Truths that ask us to pay the costs of discipline in pursuit of agency is harder (more expensive in the short term) than Comforting Lies that tell us to forgo the costs of discipline and agency in the short term in favor of consumption (indiscipline) in the short term.

So we see the simple truth: that simpletons talk in Children’s stories, semi-simpletons in rational excuses, those that argue using wisdom stated historical references, and those that have obtained that wisdom in the laws of nature that cause that history to occur without our comprehension of it at the time.
To be christian is to be european, is to follow the law of nature and natural law, in correspondence with reality.
To argue in Christan verse is to argue in children’s stories. To argue in rationalism is to argue in excuses. To argue in law and history is to argue basted on the evidence of our actions. To argue in science is to argue in the laws of nature, and in natural law, drawn from that evidence, corresponding to that history, in spite of excuses, and children’s stories.
