KICKED OUT OF MOLYNEUX’S GROUP.
Not exactly sure why other than saying he’s a great teacher, good analyst, but failed philosopher. And that he was a slow mover to the right.
Moderator says I should call in. Followers say it would be unfair to Moly to debate him unprepared. I agreed and said so. I said that it would take me most of an hour to walk him through enough context. And that it would be boring or tedious for the audience. And that if he was a bit prepared, then he could carry on the conversation while maintaining his audience. So AFAIK, I was doing the right thing.
Moderator says something along the lines of “if you’re so smart how come you’re not as successful?” Which I find strange because I’ve dominated in business, and I’m doing quite well in philosophy. But that said, I mean, how many philosophers of science or law have Moly’s audience (none), how many subscribers to the journal Science are there? (50k). I mean, does that mean that popularity determines truth content? Of course not. It’s usually the opposite, right?
Now, I don’t know who the moderator is (DiMarco maybe?) but he found all of this offensive and apparently booted me.
My ask was only that I would like to move Moly the rest of the way, but that it was unfair to do it by just calling in. As far as I know that’s just the moral thing to do.
So maybe I switch tactics and go after Moly’s “Therapy Cult” and just deal with it until he debates me.

NIETZCHE ON ISLAM
by Daniel Gurpide
Nietzsche considered himself as the biggest enemy of Christianity. His entire project of reevaluation of all values was based on a harsh critic of all crucial values of Christianity. Let us not forget that Nietzsche himself was the product of Christianity: he came from a long line of preachers. In that sense, and only for polemical purposes does he praise Islam.
He presents Islam in a more favorable light since it is a lot more masculine and warrior-like than Christianity: male Semitism vs. female Semitism.
“If Islam despises Christianity, it has a thousandfold right to do so: Islam at least assumes that it is dealing with men….” (The Antichrist).
Nietzsche also respected the Persian Aryan spirit which had survived underground within Islamic civilization. He appreciates it’s aesthetics, culture, wealth, art. And let us not forget that he is comparing Islamic civilization at its zenith with the medieval dark ages in Europe. He is not offering a choice to modern European man.
The scholars who made the “Arab miracle” possible were mostly Syrians, Persians, Spaniards and Jews (not a drop of Arab blood in their veins and completely alien to the Arab mentality). Expelled from Europe by the Christian crusaders, displaced from Asia by the Mongol hordes, dominated by the Turks in Egypt, the Arabs lost contact with the Persians, Syrians, Christians, and Jews. Isolated once again, under the yoke of their fanatical Imams, they fell in deep slumber and the cycle of ignorance, dysgenics, poverty, and brutality started again. Any critical spirit which was left was suffocated without remorse: Allah aalam, God knows best.

Rome over extended. The peoples surrounding her seized opportunity. one of those peoples was the germanic tribes, another was the eastern orthodox empire, another was the arabs (muslims), another was the jews (christians). Eastern empire did not suppress the christians and allowed the lies of the semites to take root among the folly of women, the slaves, and the underclass. When it was protected it spread like a virus. THen it was imposed as a means of circumventing AND DEFEATING the european aristocracy.
That’s what happened. Just as aristocracy is being circumvented today.

LIMITING THE PREFERRED AND THE GOOD WITH THE TRUE
Well some of us are biased for true, and some for good, and some for preferable, and those of us who are biased for true, are better at ‘limiting’ those biased for the good and preferable, if we can deflate their ‘moral and normative’ language into ‘technical’ language. In other words, we must force them to meet us on our turf: truth.
Just as you cannot prove any system of logic within itself, and must appeal to the next higher dimension of logic (that includes more information), we cannot criticize the intuitive (preferable), good (moral and normative) unless we do so with the next higher logic: the true.
And the language of truth is deflation.

IDEAS CONTROL PEOPLE BY CIRCUMVENTING REASON
—“Emotions control people”—James Santagata
And Ideas that are designed to circumvent reason by wishful thinking, suggestion, loading, framing, overloading, and deceit control emotions and therefore control people.

As I continue my work, I generally think more in terms of conflation and deflation. I’m not against religion – i think it’s necessary. I’m against falsehood. And that’s because falsehood is not necessary – and the consequences of it are terrible.

LETTING YOUR INTERNAL MIRROR DECEIVE YOU.
Many of you ‘nice boys’ are, I suspect, like most libertarians, relying on an internal intuition about the nature of man (which is just a mirror of your own brainstem), and confusing the interpersonal similarities of peoples one-on-one with the familial, social, political, and intellectual dissimilarities. A small minority doesn’t matter. But once a group can exercise its intuitions rather than exercise our high trust norms, the EMPIRICALLY DEMONSTRATE that they are not capable of participating in those norms.
