THE COMING DARK AGE? OR THE COMING WALLS?
Even if we only start from the first Aryans, our civilization is 6,000 years old.
But in that time period we have had two dark ages:
1)the bronze age collapse from the barbarian migrations 1100/1200bc. All civilizations collapsed. Reading was lost. It lasted about 600 years.
2) the iron age collapse from the barbarian migrations 300/400ad – 1400/1500ad. It lasted approximately one thousand years.
Why are we so special that we would not have:
3) the steel age collapse from the barbarian migrations 1900/2000 – 3000ad? WIll it last a thousand years, or will it last even longer this time?
THE CHINESE
The chinese built a wall to keep out the barbarians.
The Romans failed to build a wall to keep out the barbarians.
The Germans and Russians failed to build a wall to keep out the barbarians.
WE HAVE A CHOICE.
We can build a wall and adopt the chinese strategy, or we can be overcome again – this time without the reserves of our ancient peoples of the north to arise again.
FORTRESS EUROPA.

People start with the assumption that the principle method of inquiry is mathematics. But mathematics isn’t causal. Algorithms are. Mathematics describes constant relations. That’s all. The value in mathematics is in narrowing the search for that first set of operations, and all the operations that result from that first set, and generation after generation from atoms to sentience.

WHAT DOES PAGANISM MEAN TO ME? To study transcendence, the monomyth, (=1) the po
WHAT DOES PAGANISM MEAN TO ME?
To study transcendence, the monomyth, (=1) the possible plots within the monomyth (<30), the possible archetypes (~12), the virtues ( depends, but < 20), the emotions ( depends but < 30), as a means of ‘acquisition’, using the world’s collection of myths. HOWEVER: also dividing those myths into the good (pagan) and evil (abrahamic).
In other words, to learn through wisdom.
To restore our celebration of existing nature and the commons rather than the fantasies of heaven and hell, or the fantasy of marxist utopia on earth..
To restore our holidays of the seasons of the solar cycle, and the harvest.
To preserve those ‘appropriated’ holidays (easter, christmas) that preserve the few good things in christianity.
To reduce christianity to the five tenets of jesus’s extension of kinship love, and reduce him to a saint (feminine hero) rather than a prophet.
To change the oath (apostle’s creed) to a worthy oath to one another.
That is what paganism means to me.

AMAZON, FACEBOOK, GOOGLE, APPLE … I don’t see an problem with apple other than
https://www.axios.com/the-growing-antitrust-concerns-about-u-s-tech-giants-2433870013.htmlOF AMAZON, FACEBOOK, GOOGLE, APPLE …
I don’t see an problem with apple other than the near certainty of a severe correction in apple will have a profound impact all over the country as averages are affected just as they were after the justice department attacked Microsoft.
I don’t see a meaningful problem with Amazon and I welcome the collapse of the retail real estate jungle.
The problem with google and facebook is the same: they are both effectively infrastructure plays and that’s all, and since they are funded by advertising, they have a ‘truthfulness’ problem.
The problem with facebook is that it’s increasingly irrelevant as an advertising platform and increasingly a Utility run by people with ‘an agenda’ worse than that of the state.
I’d prefer highly regulating both of them, or to partly nationalize both of them, and eliminating advertising revenue and incentives.

Talking my octogenarian mother through the reasons people will say Yes to Natura
Talking my octogenarian mother through the reasons people will say Yes to Natural Law. She has worked in banking for much of her life.
“Um. Holy mackerel. You got me all worked up. Do you have a bodyguard? Do you already have it lined up? Because the people in the banking business…. Wait. I am going to need one too… (not joking).”
Exactly. It’s one thing to ask people to suppress falsehood. It’s another to tell them what they will get in exchange.
And there are offers that are simply too, too, good, to refuse.

Why do I want to combine church, school, and academy? Because the era where education ends is over. Education will be continuous. Not a single large investment followed by debt, but a continuous part time investment from birth until death. Not classes organized by age, but by ability and interest. And there is no need for a church of lies. We will not need a church of continuous therapy for our failure to produce mindfulness. Only the teaching of the disciplines by which we produce in a division of labor, that security which we evolved in the tribe.

CLASSES AND THEIR OVERLAP
We can divide people into categories (classes) by reproductive desirability ( neoteny, health, symmetry, ratios, height ), social norms (degree of suppression of impulse), occupational achievement, income achievement, and intelligence. And perhaps a hundred other classifications. However, they all overlap to the point where in the aggregate they’re synonymous.
So yeah. There is such a thing as underclasses, laboring classes, working classes, managerial classes, administrative classes, calculative classes, academic classes, entrepreneurial classes, financial classes, legal classes, political classes.
These categories demonstrably exist and demonstrably sort people by ability, where ability is the desirability of their personas, their physical appearance, their accumulated learning, and the rate of their learning, and their utility to one another because of those things.

WHY BEAR THE NOT-YET-HUMAN IN OUR MIDST? Sovereignty requires and visa versa age
WHY BEAR THE NOT-YET-HUMAN IN OUR MIDST?
Sovereignty requires and visa versa agency. Sovereignty and Agency are two sides of the same coin. Via positiva agency, and via negativa sovereignty.
Transcendence merely refers to the evolutionary construction of Sovereignty and Agency.
Stoicism provides internal agency, and Natural Law provides external agency.
So, why would any group of people desire or require anything other than Internal Agency (Stoicism) and External Agency (Natural Law)?
Well there are two reasons?
1 – One is insufficiently human to possess internal agency even if provided with external agency.
2 – One desires to falsify and increase the returns on his genetic inferiority at the expense of others.
So the question is, why do we need a universal religion, or a universal government, and instead why not separate demonstrable humans from demonstrable sub-humans?
What purpose do ceremonies of transition to adulthood serve?
One cannot take an oath if one lack agency to comprehend and exercise it.
Why must others pay the continuous and expanding cost of the sub-human in their midst?
