    INDO EUROPEANS DEVELOPED MAGIC BECAUSE OF METALWORKING (Magic)

    —-“In Indo-European civilizations,” writes Francois-Xavier Dillman, “magic definitely cannot be disassociated from all of the beliefs, representations, religious rites […] on the contrary, it is one of the most prevalent components, one of those that resists the most against Christianization. The same author underlines that runic writing and Germanic magic are often “one and the same.” Patrick Moisson also emphasizes that there is a fine line between magic and religion, but he notes that whereas religion seeks to conciliate divinities with sacrifice and worship, magic “constrains divine powers with appropriate rites,” which assumes the existence of impersonal forces and “means to constrain the supernatural world.”—

  • “Q: I hate to get off the topic but what exactly is an economically conservative

    —“Q:  I hate to get off the topic but what exactly is an economically conservative social liberal Constitutionalist Republican?”— someone else, about a friend. (I view it as a moral crime that this isn’t part of the curriculum)

    Republican: (vs democratic, vs authoritarian) Representative government should produce legislation and regulation. (Iron law of oligarchy says they will form no matter what so why not construct one that rotates by election.) Social Liberal: The state should use income from progressive taxation to produce commons of benefit to the people, because they produce multipliers (returns) on investments that limit the practical differential between peoples. (hard to argue with this because no one on earth seems to think otherwise)  … AND the state shall not inhibit the self expression of individuals by the enforcement of norms of the traditional family. ( I view this as a mistake.) Economically conservative: the state should operate within a budge and not exacerbate the business cycle, nor export risk between generations. (This will happen shortly as worldwide the keyenesian experiment is coming to an end) Constitutionalist: The declaration, constitution, and bill of rights constitute a statement of natural law (reciprocity) under rule of law (limits all of us to reciprocity, particularly members of the state), under universal standing (applies equally to all of us, and to the state, and we have the right of juridical defense from each other regardless of civil, state, or military.) (This remains a problem because the state has dis-intermediated the people from the commons via the courts.)
