IN CHOOSING A GOD, CHOOSE WISELY
You choose a god, and by that choice bring him/her into you, and that god will become your conscience – a part of you. (this is scientifically true). Choose your god wisely. As you gain wisdom and need, you may choose another god. (this is true and anti-fragile) All gods have the same power – to know the truth of our thoughts, words, and deeds. All gods speak with us by the same means – by feelings alone. We can all talk to our gods by the same means – by feeling, thought, word and deed. But different gods reach our souls (personality traits) differently, so your conscience will serve you better if you choose the right god for you. (This is scientifically true). We know only one limit: only a demon will claim he is the only god, the greatest of the gods, or that he has dominion over the forces of the universe, and only a man who has taken a demon into him will claim he knows the words of gods – they do not speak – ever. And if you invite one of these demons into you, you will be a danger to yourself, your people, and all mankind – and justly prosecuted for it. (this is true). And anyone who says other than this has taken a demon into himself – pretending to be a god.
Let a thousand gods, and a thousand temples, like a thousand nations, bloom.

—“The primitive and often even atavistic aspects of the battlefield test the physical and mental agility of everyone, but most of what it tests is the courage and the spiritual side of the troops we put in harm’s way. And oftentimes it’s only unit cohesion, leadership and the belief in themselves and their comrades that allows them to go through what they have to go through and come home as better men and women, not as broken. And so the Warrior Ethos is not a luxury, it is essential when you have a military.”— Mattis

MY WORK: TWO THEORIES, ONE QUESTION, ONE OBJECTIVE
My work, and this book, is predicated upon two theories, one question, and one objective:
1) The First Theory: Western Civilization, in prehistory, invented deflationary truth, and this is the single cause of all consequent western developments.
I work with incentives, and assume we merely justify what works. This explains all human behavior I am able to decompose, right down to variations in personality traits as variations in reward systems that produce the stages of the prey drive.
Pastoralism (highly distributed property ownership) > no concentration of capital that makes armies possible.
……|> Family/Clan(cost of weapons) > Independently funded ‘pirates/vikings/raiders’ practice pirate ethics (liberty). > Militia not army.
……………….|>………Maneuver (Tactics using horse, bronze, wheel) > Requires unbreakable oaths even in the face of death.
………………………………..| > Deflationary Testimonial Truth(Contract) > The centrality of truth and oath as greatest cultural asset.
……………………………………………….| > Tolerance for reordering the status hierarchy by merit.
…………………………………………………………….| > Heroism (Risk Taking) (Entrepreneurship)
………………………………………………………………………|> Sovereignty (ownership)
…………………………………………………………………………………|> Common law of property (Tort), Independent judges, jury, thang, senate
…………………………………………………………………………………………………..|> Markets in everything
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………|> Classes imitate status signals of aristocracy.
The application of maneuver (today’s “ooda loop”) to the organization of civilization.
The west never needs to be first, but it is always fastest.
Westerners do demonstrate higher degrees of anxiety, lower clannishness, higher trust.
2) The second theory: that what we call abrahamism was a profound innovation in the art of deception by the techniquos of conflation and suggestion and ficationalism, and that it was through this means of deception in the ancient world, under judaism, christianity, and islam using writing and pulpit, and in the modern under marxism, postmodernism, and islamism using media and academy.
3) The question: is it possible to define a test of what we call scientific, deflationary, truthfulness regardless of subject matter, such that we can extend the warranty of due diligence on products and services to that of information: meaning: speech?
4) The ambition: to produce teach people the technique – constituting an additional logic, to create a movement if not institution to teach this technique, and produce a constitutional amendments with sufficient incentives for a population to voluntarily vote for this requirement in law – or to provoke a revolution and secession and implement it regardless.
