THE COMPLETE FOUNDING DOCUMENTS
1 – The Declaration contains the appeal to Natural Law as justification for secession(independence).
2 – The Bill of Rights codifies the natural law as they enumerated those rights at the time.
3 – The Constitution describes the organization and processes of the government.
I tend to tell people to read them in that order: Declaration, Bill of Rights, and Constitution: from the reason for the secession: violation of natural law, to the articulation of the specific defenses of it, to the institutions that protect it yet still allow for the production of commons.

Winning the World: Do It.
What wins in this world. Simple. 1. Internal locus of control. 2. Individual sovereignty (I own me). 3. High Agency. 4. Intolerance. 5. A refusal to seek validation. 6. A refusal to seek approval. 7. The ability to think out to 2nd and 3rd order effects. 8. The ability to understand Requisite Variety — the one with the most options wins. As soon as you are limited by your own values, beliefs and morals against an enemy that wields dual-moralism or is polymorphic and peddles lies, you lose. The church offers confessions for a reason, win and then confess. There is no value in losing or dying with “honor”. 9. The understanding that you were dead the day you were born. And you have a duty and role to play. 10. Do it.

IF YOU REFORMED CHRISTIANITY
If you took all the falsehood out of christianity then what would remain?
– The mass (A lesson, an oath, a feast), festivals.
– The extirpation of hatred from the human heart.
– The exhaustion of interpersonal forgiveness as the optimum group cooperative strategy.
– The demand for personal acts of charity.
If you replace life after death with living a good life, persistence through actions, genetic persistence, and human transcendence of our descendents into the gods we imagine.
If you replace lessons against the aristocracy in favor of diasporic pastoralists, and instead restored our original mythology os the trials of homer.
If you restored the festivals with those of heroes, ancestors and the seasons (nature).
If you add ethnocentrism (the optimum group strategy), government by rule of law and markets in everything (the optimum competitive strategy), and stoicism (the optimum mindfulness strategy).
Then you have a religion free of lies.
Church is a good thing.
What one does there produces mindfulness.
What one learns there can be truth or lie.

WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF PHILOSOPHY?
1) To develop mental fitness and distance from our impulses (to develop agency)
2) To accumulate an inventory of human errors and bias so that we do not make them in our own lives, and are not affected by others who employ them.
3) To survey the sets of myths and paradigms (stories we tell ourselves) such that we can choose goals in our lives.
4) (the bad part) to find a verbal means of achieving some degree of the mindfulness that is trainable through religion(mythology), ritual (prayer or repetitious action), and self authoring (stoicism – a ritual), and meditation (a ritual in and of itself). Mindfuless serves as a sedative for animal impulse, without the soporific affect of chemicals
that interfere with processing in general..
As far as I know that is the end of philosophy. The rest is just left to religion(nonsense/lies) or science (decidability/truth).
Nearly all of the corpus of philosophy is reducible to fantasy moral literature (french), or fantasy psychological Literature (german), fantasy pseudoscientific literature (ashkenazi), or the attempt to develop scientific versions of those fields (english, American.)
The problem with science, law proper, and truth proper is that in matters of the personal and social we are not ambivalent neutral surveyors of the material – but seek only personal and group advantage in whatever we can filter from it to advance our interests.
Yet science and truth are uncomfortable and dehumanizing.
So to no small degree, philosophy is PRACTICED as the pseudoscience and pseudo-rationalism of finding excuses that comfort us given our genetic, social, economic, cultural, and temporal conditions without relying on the demands easily falsified and supernatural faith.
In other words, like religion, it’s therapeutic self medication – sedation.
