    Female mode of argument: The implied threat of reproductive denial and shaming or harming those who may grant you reproductive access. polluting the market for access to reproductive exercise. The problem is, when the critic’s APPROVAL or DISAPPROVAL is of no value, then… that strategy is meaningless.

    Religion serves as civic education, and ‘education’ as economic education. If we end the falsehoods in christianity, and restore our church to truthfulness, then we can restore education to the church – and remove the state’s influence from it.

    IF YOU REFORMED CHRISTIANITY

    If you took all the falsehood out of christianity then what would remain?

    – The mass (A lesson, an oath, a feast), festivals.
    – The extirpation of hatred from the human heart.
    – The exhaustion of interpersonal forgiveness as the optimum group cooperative strategy.
    – The demand for personal acts of charity.

    If you replace life after death with living a good life, persistence through actions, genetic persistence, and human transcendence of our descendents into the gods we imagine.

    If you replace lessons against the aristocracy in favor of diasporic pastoralists, and instead restored our original mythology os the trials of homer.

    If you restored the festivals with those of heroes, ancestors and the seasons (nature).

    If you add ethnocentrism (the optimum group strategy), government by rule of law and markets in everything (the optimum competitive strategy), and stoicism (the optimum mindfulness strategy).

    Then you have a religion free of lies.

    Church is a good thing.
    What one does there produces mindfulness.
    What one learns there can be truth or lie.

    —“Just as there are always criminals acting in their self interest at the expense of the group, not everyone a group is capable of long time horizon decisions for the betterment of that group. And so there must be a discriminatory process that prevents them from having a voice. In fact it seems likely that the super-majority of any population can’t make a good decision for that population… sad but true.”—Greg Hamilton

    STOICISM IS INTUITIVE AND ABSENT ANY WOO WOO.
    THE ANSWER TO A BLUE PILLED WORLD
    by James Santagata

    What is powerful about Stoicism is that forces us to maintain an INTERNAL locus of control along with high agency. At the same time, filtering out emotions by considering what we have rather than what we don’t and aligning with natural law allow us to think, calculate and act in the most efficient, effective manner possible. Conserving energy, creating the smallest emotional wake (for ourselves and others, thus mitigating or eliminating negative 2nd and 3rd order effects) and economizing motion as well as emotion.

    What I love about this stuff, is that many of us, me including, stumbled on this, as the only thing that made sense in a Blue-Pilled world- and it is so comforting to say, “omg, this is actually a fully formed philosophy”. BUT we have the added advantage of neuroscience and 2.000 years of accumulated history to take it even further. Love it.

    And with microeconomics, and nanoeconomics, and behavioral economics.

    We have the Holy Grail.

    We can now mathematically model Stoicism and we understand not just ourselves but everyone we interact with, through (as you are wont to say) incentives, we can look at max and min as well as elasticity / inelasticity through microeconomics and with all this granular data, we can look at nanoeconomisc (individual transaction) and then set all this against behavioral economisc / neuroeconomics and see that Stoicism is the way forward and we can improve it Stoicism 2.0 but added a few things and emphasizing a few others.

    (Omg, I’m gonna orgasm.)

  • THE IRON LAW OF OLIGARCHY (RULE) The iron law of oligarchy is a political theory

    THE IRON LAW OF OLIGARCHY (RULE)

    The iron law of oligarchy is a political theory, first developed by the German sociologist Robert Michels in his 1911 book, Political Parties. It claims that rule by an elite, or oligarchy, is inevitable as an “iron law” within any democratic organization as part of the “tactical and technical necessities” of organization.

    Michels stated that the official goal of representative democracy of eliminating elite rule was impossible, that representative democracy is a façade legitimizing the rule of a particular elite, and that elite rule, which he refers to as oligarchy, is inevitable.

    Michels’ theory states that all complex organizations, regardless of how democratic they are when started, eventually develop into oligarchies. Michels observed that since no sufficiently large and complex organization can function purely as a direct democracy, power within an organization will always get delegated to individuals within that group, elected or otherwise.

    Michels addressed the application of this law to representative democracy, and stated: “Who says organization, says oligarchy.” He went on to state that “Historical evolution mocks all the prophylactic measures that have been adopted for the prevention of oligarchy.”

    According to Michels all organizations eventually come to be run by a “leadership class”, who often function as paid administrators, executives, spokespersons or political strategists for the organization. Far from being “servants of the masses”, Michels argues this “leadership class,” rather than the organization’s membership, will inevitably grow to dominate the organization’s power structures.

    By controlling who has access to information, those in power can centralize their power successfully, often with little accountability, due to the apathy, indifference and non-participation most rank-and-file members have in relation to their organization’s decision-making processes.

    Michels argues that democratic attempts to hold leadership positions accountable are prone to fail, since with power comes the ability to reward loyalty, the ability to control information about the organization, and the ability to control what procedures the organization follows when making decisions. All of these mechanisms can be used to strongly influence the outcome of any decisions made ‘democratically’ by members.
