(FB 1545245451 Timestamp) The correct question is âWhat is the oldest political religion?â, because that is the function of all surviving religions from the Axial period. Sumerians first wrote down their religions in 3500 BCE and most political religions evolved evolved from competition with theirs. We see evidence if organized religion in Anatolia from 8â9,000 bc, predating stonehenge by 6000 years. It appears we developed religious practices (what we call sacred, but is more correctly, suppression of all self interest, status signal, and dominance expression ) no less than 40k years ago. There was our first and longest dark age around 20â21k bc. Then practices resumed, around 13k bc. it wasnât that long – about 8000bc – until farming and farming creates folk religions in an and around anatolia -still burial focused. Around 5500bc the indo europeans developed sacrificial religion, and spread it – man now bargaining with the gods. And again, by 3300 we see the rapid development of political religion in every region of eurasia.

(FB 1545313703 Timestamp) Germans were not scary until trained by romans to fight in formation. Vikings were scary because they had fast ships, horses, a range of weapons, and fought in formation – the perfection of light infantry, cavalry, and sail. Europeans were scary because they made amazing, fast ships, loaded them with guns, horses, and men with guns. Germans were amazing because they used armor as if it was light cavalry. americans are currently amazing, because they use air force as cavalry.

I had to work at “switching” between thinking modes. Now its just there. I can’t always put it into words right way – but the default seems to be e-prime-‘ish and non-e-prime just a matter of convenience; or knowing if I go there it will demand way to much of the person I’m talking too.”–Bill Joslin

(FB 1545313359 Timestamp) ALL ELSE IS TRAINING, REPAIR, SUPPRESSION But here is the thing: Western man had no need of mindfulness because of his ‘order’. That stoicism[1] can provide mindfulness to those who lack that order is a solution to a problem. However, there is no substitute for a initiation in group of warriors (pack), and ritual thanks to a king, one another, ancestors, and nature. Everything else is education(training), therapy(repair), medication(suppression) [1] Stoicism = CBT = Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

(FB 1545233227 Timestamp) DECONFLATING PROPERTARIANISM Out of habit, we mix (a) Propertarianism as a social science (a truth), with (b) the use of Propertarianism to produce a Nomocracy as a choice and preference, with (c) the transcendence of man by the civilizational production of agency, by using nomocracy, triparitism (multi-house government), and Markets in Every aspect of life, as the traditional order of the european people. Those are three different things: A science, A Strategy, and An Implementation. There is no ‘possible’ government that cannot be constructed under propertarianism and nomocracy. (ie, anarchy and communism are both impossible,) It just means that one must be truthful in the construction (constitution) of that government – in the construction of the contract for rule. So, under propertarianism (social science), and nomocracy (rule of law), the choice of the terms of the contract under which we organize the economic, social, political, and military functions of society is up to the people who author it.
