    (FB 1543241097 Timestamp) ENDING BROTHER WARS by Bill Joslin hmmmm…. I thought the whole point of highlighting the lies of Abrahamism was to forever eradicate pitting brothers against each other over religion. My stance, not that it matters, hinges on the private-public distinction. I don’t care, nor do I proclaim to have authority over what others think or believe in the private sphere. If you want to hold metaphor or allegory as real then I say have at’er- not my business, nor does it impose costs on me if you choose to do so. Further to that, I wouldn’t fault a man for doing so. However, within the public sphere, these claims will be held to account – FULL ACCOUNT – including, but not limited to, the false claims that Christianity is the essential component to western thriving – it’s simply not. Western thriving did not occur until law and governance were abstracted away from religion into their own respective institutions… So here’s the deal – until the religious begin reporting truthfully in the public sphere or keep their private assertions private or qualify their public statements about private beliefs; we will continue to prosecute publicly…. that’s all that is going on here – prosecution of public lies – prosecution of private-public conflations.

    (FB 1543194539 Timestamp) SORRY GUYS, DOIN’ MY JOB —“…Stop talking about fucking religion all the time and get back to strategizing against the neoliberal world order and promoting anti-poz behavior.”—Dylan Newman Sorry man. I’m working on the constitution and it’s statements on religion so I had to test some ideas. I should be done and will move on again shortly. I got stuck on the debt-creation concept a few weeks ago and only felt I got my arms around it in the past week. Working through that problem meant trying a lot of arguments from a lot of angles. And this forum is where I run experiments, and people try to refute them, and I learn from that ‘market’ activity. Doing my job. It’s part of the job. That said, I am profoundly proud of working through the problem of religion. It is the hard problem of social science. And worse, like Truth Telling, it is EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE to produce a good religion and extremely cheap to produce a bad one. Law and Markets are trivial achievements by comparison. Cheers.

Right now I’m angry. I hate that Augustine and Aquinas wasted their minds on nonsense. I think Thomas would have completed propertarianism 800 years ago, but here we are.”—Ryan Williams …

    (FB 1543192600 Timestamp) ON UKRAINE AND MARTIAL LAW (From a journalist friend in ukraine. Edited for anonymity and clarity.) —“Hi, … I can’t get a feeling for the reasons behind the martial law request from the Rada. I can see both good and bad reasons to ask. Can you help me?”— Hello Curt ! I think, this decision was logical. The goal of the Russian Federation is to continue the war; to inflict economic losses on Ukraine; to destabilize the state in such a way as to avoid a further wave of sanctions. Without Ukraine’s response, the enemy will feel they can act with impunity – besides, it is a demonstration of Russian aggression in the face of the whole world. This policy will facilitate the provision of earlier sanctions inside the country, and such a situation can play a political role for the authorities in Ukraine. –“And, by any chance, are the oligarchs a target of this policy?”– It’s possible since they monopolize the television. But we must wait and see. It is an interesting time to be a journalist. —“Thanks!”—

    (FB 1543420601 Timestamp) THE DISASTER OF OUR EDUCATION SYSTEM by Steve Pender Outsourcing is a symptom of the diverging of industry and education. Govt schools for decades have wasted 12 years of everyone’s youth not adequately leveraging our productive advantage in machinery and computing, to provide citizens with an education of any marketable value at the end of high school. So everyone goes to college to get marketable skills. But then college, except for some of STEM, stopped providing marketable skills and instead put kids in huge debt. Outsourcing implies that the per capita productive ability per dollar is lower here than in China or Mexico. In most occupations, you get paid more based on producing more. If Americans are not able to produce more to justify higher wages because our educational system failed to leverage our technology advantage, and we aren’t willing to lower wages, but other countries can do both, outsourcing will continue. I lay a large part of this blame on k-12 public schools. What could have been several years, from the age of 12-18, learning trade skills that transfer to an occupation, were instead wasted on social studies, political issues, 3-page essays on trivial details of novels few students even care about, haiku. How was it possible that in the early 1900s, at the taxpayer cost of under $1,000 per student-year (inflation adjusted), a labor force could built cars, ships, trains, radios, TVs, widgets of all kinds, domestically, with only a small fraction of the population having a college degree?

    (FB 1543511362 Timestamp) THE CURRENT CRISIS IS A LACK OF LOVE by Noah J Revoy Emotions are deeply connected to motivation, especially love. Pure self control isn’t sufficient for long term motivation. We can’t be tyrannical masters over ourselves for long without our body and mind rebeling. We need a mix of systems to keep us acting correctly. Love of self motivates personal growth and care. Love of our people motivates us to treat them well, to protect them and to follow social customs. Love of truth leads us to be intolerant of lies. The problem is that love needs to be kept in check by reason. I decide on a course of action with my reason but I implement it with motivation I get from emotions. The weakness of whites today is a lack of love for self and ingroup such that threats to the ingroup do not activate righteous anger. When we tolerate everyone we love no one. Only the intolerant can possibly love anything with all their heart. The biggest challenge is not teaching knowledge, its helping people to create motivation. Most people are apathetic to their own lives. They haven’t been truly loved so they don’t know how to love themselves and create lives they can love. Igniting that fire is key to getting results.

    CD: Love yourself, and your kin, and by proxy mankind. We are become the gods we imagined.
