True story. Seattle area. 90’s. Lotsa chatter because MSFT used strange questions to test applicants. Friend was inventing similar questions for our company.
Asked me two:
1) “2000 years from now what would aliens notice?”
Easy answer: Highways.
2) “What is the greatest achievement of western civilization?”
Easy answer: “a united states marine”.
The first one made him think but agreed. The second one floored him.
I mean it.

The Cult of The Marines > Ukrainian Method > Cult of Christendom
(FB 1541534350 Timestamp) THE CULT OF THE MARINES > UKRAINIAN METHOD > CULT OF CHRISTENDOM
by Charles H Brennan To borrow from Mr Taleb, the Marines use heuristics to form cult practices and rituals that make them dangerous because every last one is working for the exact same thing. Cult practice means the most violent and impulsive grunt gains from the higher intelligence efforts of others because all serve the same goal. The higher IQ support is judged by how well it serves the purpose and success of the warrior, which fights the iron law of beaureaucracy. The Corps also depends not only on the genetic stock of America and the guilt based culture in which its people were raised but also on thousands of years of history That shaped its organization and practices. -

I told ya. Religion was the hardest problem in social science. The rest was trivial by comparison. But once you understand religion as a science, you are no longer bound by the limits of your experience.

THE END RESULT.
You see, I started at the very lowest possible level, and eliminated falsehood at every single incremental stage of complexity, and ended up with aesthetics religion and education last.
It produces a single coherent, consistent, correspondent, existential, complete, system of thought from the subatomic world to the rational, calculative, and computational – and from Metaphysics, to Epistemology, to Psychology, to Ethics, to Sociology, to the Law, to Politics, to Group Strategy, to religion education and aesthetics.
What narrative one produces to ‘teach’ unders that system of thought is constrained only by the same rules.
Everyone wants the easy way out, which is to just ‘imagine’ from the top down.
Truth is enough. The Natural Law is enough. A small number of revolutionaries are enough to impose the Law, that forces Truth, that causes the chain of consequences, that results in ethnocentrism, nationalism, sovereignty, reciprocity, truth, duty, rule of law, markets in everything, and transcendence of our people – and all others if they do the same – into the gods we imagine.

BETWEEN THE IDEAL AND THE REAL: LIMITS
The difference between the ideal and the real, is limits. There are no infinities of morality, or charity, any more than of resources or measurements. The unlimited=the ideal, and the l limited=the real. We have a deep desire for simple rules. But simple rules without limits – including christian love – are ideals (errors), not reals (judgments).
