—“Only half participate in the work force? Really?”— um… that’s normal. children, stay at home moms, and the elderly. 20 years to mature, 40 years of work, 20 years of retirement = 50% employment in an evenly rotating population. That simple sentence is enough to explain why redistribution doesn’t work. Costly to train, costly to reproduce the next generation and work, and costly to support in old age. Basically if you can’t pay for yourself you’re screwed.

“Germanicized Christianity, without Abrahamism, Pilpul, and Semitic Myths.”
Now to balance this anti-abrahamism out the truth is that you will be happier serving the interests of others than any other pursuit in life. It’s just true. Sorry. There are very few of us who are wired oddly enough to live happily alone without succumbing to it.
Random acts of kindness. Deliberate acts of charity (service). Resistance of the political. Deliberate contribution to kin.
These are the things that will make you happy.
But do not ask for acknowledgement in return.
That is the the dark side of charity.
It isn’t charity if you want appreciation.
It comes with time.

I don’t try to be smarter than people in history unless they do things for deceptive, emotional, or ideological reasons. We all make calculations given sparse information in real time and under stress, and we all get some of them wrong.
Study Napoleon for a perfect autistic (infovore seizing opportunities), and study hannibal for the opposite (slow construction of a strategy), and study Rommel and Alexander for mastering tactical maneuver with professional forces, and study islam for ‘raid them to death and destroy their whole civilization by daily small sieges’.

“An Unchristian Strategy”
by Ely Harman
1) Eradication of the hatable or hateful from human societies.
2) The extension of kinship love only as far as distant kin with concentric circles of decreasing trust outside of that.
3) Tit for tat (reciprocity) with forgiveness (to break cycles of recrimination) unless we’ve had enough of forgiving someone in particular.

REMINDER:
I teach argument.
I don’t do stupid.
I don’t do stupid memes in particular.
You probably aren’t witty – you’re probably an idiot.
You probably aren’t funny – you’re probably infantile.
When you criticize precision as autism you’re an infantile idiot.
I enjoy Troll killing: it’s like eskimos and whales – a heritage thing, and FB is a bridge over infested waters.
Tolerance is an excuse of the weak.

Um, technically speaking it’s Pilpul I have a problem with regardless of whether it’s in religion, philosophy, traditional law, argumentative rationalism (Pseudo-rationalism), pseudoscience, propaganda, or any other form of falsehood prose.
The reason is that I understand that all deceptions are created by the same technique(s). And that just as the greeks invented reason on a scale previously impossible, the rabbis took the greek technique and invented lying on a scale previously impossible. And that this technique is extremely dangerous both in religious (christianity and islam) and pseudoscientific (marx,freud,boas, cantor, mises, rothbard), and pseudo rational (rousseauian , kantian, postmodern) forms.
So I want to prevent another abrahamic dark age whether created by christianity and islam in the past, or marxism, postmodernism and multiculturalism in the present.
Because we are extremely susceptible to these forms of lies.

I mean, wizard of earthsea, the Iliad and Odyssey, the hobbit and lord of the rings, Beowulf, the Nibelungenlied, La Morte De Artur, Ivanhoe, Frankenstein, [????], Starship Troopers, The Foundation Series, The Forever War, Dune.
That’s a pretty nice canon. I could add a few more ‘stories’ in there in between to make a nice mythology, but that’s our literature right there.
The literature of heroism.

I’m going to start arguing using the Lord of the Rings as my Wisdom Literature whenever someone references one of the fictionalist religions. Fiction is fiction, fictionalism is fictionalism, history, the record of adjudications, economic evidence, the findings of science, and mathematics are not fictions.
“Well Gandalf said….” is about the same as any reference in the bible or koran.
