    https://faculty.haas.berkeley.edu/yuchtman/Noam_Yuchtman_files/rr_draft.pdfTHE ECONOMIC CONSEQUENCES OF THE REFORMATION

    (NOTE: I’m going to point out the obvious for you: that just judaism “tied up intellect in mysticism” such that jews contributed nothing to human civilization despite their literacy; and just as today, islam ‘tied up intellect’ in vast ignorance and superstition deception, destroying four great civilization to date; that the catholic church ‘tied up intellect, resources, and economies. And that just as Constantine’ and Justinian’s purpose was to undermine the western aristocracy in favor of the same persian tyranny that seduced alexander; the church incrementally attempted to undermine the aristocracy and replace it with Persian god-kings. And this is the reason that the church granted property rights to women, and forbid inbreeding: so that they could undermine the land holdings of the great families, and incrementally acquire through a host of schemes fifty percent of the european farmlands. I have come to see the church as the most insidious institution whose few claims of virtue were nothing more than taking credit for what would have occurred earlier had they continued the spread of roman literacy and law rather than church superstition and ignorance.)

    –“The Protestant Reformation, beginning in 1517, was both a shock to the market for religion and a first-order economic shock. We study its impact on the allocation of resources between the religious and secular sectors in Germany, collecting data on the allocation of human and physical capital. While Protestant reformers aimed to elevate the role of religion, we find that the Reformation produced rapid economic secularization. The interaction between religious competition and political economy explains the shift in investments in human and fixed capital away from the religious sector. Large numbers of monasteries were expropriated during the Reformation, particularly in Protestant regions. This transfer of resources shifted the demand for labor between religious and secular sectors: graduates from Protestant universities increasingly entered secular occupations. Consistent with forward-looking behavior, students at Protestant universities shifted from the study of theology toward secular degrees. The appropriation of resources by secular rulers is also reflected in construction: during the Reformation, religious construction declined, particularly in Protestant regions, while secular construction increased,especially for administrative purposes. Reallocation was not driven by pre-existing economic or cultural differences.”– Via Tyler Cowen

    LABOR AND SEX. THE ETERNAL DIFFERENCE IN VALUE

    —“Western slavery goes back 10,000 years to Mesopotamia, today’s Iraq, where a male slave was worth an orchard of date palms. Female slaves were called on for sexual services, gaining freedom only when their masters died.”—

    AUGUSTINE IS STILL EVIL

    —“Augustine took the view that, if a literal interpretation contradicts science and our God-given reason, the Biblical text should be interpreted metaphorically. While each passage of Scripture has a literal sense, this “literal sense” does not always mean that the Scriptures are mere history; at times they are rather an extended metaphor.”—

    Yes, but abrahamism is inherently evil, because one perfect god rather than a family of gods, because that god is claimed to be perfect not merely immortal, because of man’s relationship to a god as subservient slavery not voluntary and contractual, because we cannot defeat and transcend these gods through action and wit, because rituals practiced, and the oaths made, and the prayers said mandate our ignorance, and because the effect of these rituals produces an addiction response that no reason or earthly incentive can break. In other words, when we lose reason, we cease to be human. If we are no longer human we are merely beast. A good slave. A good slave that rebels against truth, merit, transcendence of man, and creates a dependent ignorant people devoid of reason.

    by Daniel Gurpide

    By the way, I am not reproaching Christianity for defending the weak who are unjustly oppressed. I reproach Christianity for exalting weakness and viewing it as a sign of election and title of glory. I reproach Christianity for not helping the weak become strong.

    And I’m not arguing against the principle of equality per se, but the obsession of a doctrine that pursues the progressive equalisation of life, which in a world that is complex and diverse, and necessarily generating inequalities, can only end up in the gradual loss of energy: entropy.

    In a way, being Westerners we cannot be but Christian (some sort of). I choose the Christian valorisation of truth as something worth dying for – a step beyond the Socratic stance – as the positive aspect of the Christian West, and this is what makes me tell you that traditional Christianity is just an exercise in LARPing.

  • DISPLACEMENT AND EXTERMINATION DURING YAMNA EXPANSION by Alexander Zavialov Ther

    DISPLACEMENT AND EXTERMINATION DURING YAMNA EXPANSION

    by Alexander Zavialov

    There are no official numbers regarding displacement/extermination in Central Europe (yet), but I think it’s safe to say that the vast majority of all male EEF in the Corded Ware cultural region were displaced or exterminated.

    The reasoning behind this is that R1a and R1b are so utterly dominant in that region frequency-wise that the EEF Y-lineages barely exist there anymore. This means that even if the male EEF in that region weren’t displaced or exterminated, they were at least not able to pass on their genes anymore. Otherwise, we would’ve seen a lot more people with J, G2a and E1b1b1a etc.

    As for admixture, the general consensus for now is that North Europeans were approximately 75% Yamnaya (with the rest being EEF-derived admixture) up until 3000 years ago or so, and then it dropped to 50-60% on average across all of North Europe.

    The days of demanding security for your ethnic state, while crying “racist” to others who want the same for their people are over.
