    THE STRUCTURE OF ‘GOOD’ and ‘TRUE’ RELIGION.

    As far as I know, the optimum religion (teaching) we currently can know of consists of:

    1) Myths-Fables-Fairy Tales, Biographies, History.

    2) Literary Analysis: Transcendence, thru Virtues

    3) Disciplines that teach the virtues (and provide comforts)

    4) Reward for learning with the joy of submission to the pack (safety)

    5) Rewarding submission to the pack with Holidays and Festivals.

    (The problem is falsifying consumer-status and virtue signaling which is terribly addictive and makes us crazy.)

    This treatment allows the use of and analysis of all of our vast literature across the “Matters Of” Greece, Rome, Germania, Scandinavia, the Isles, and The Slavic Lands. And to rely on muth, biography and history for lessons.

    And to discourse on the virtues. Since man is constant and his struggles identical in each era, this provides an enormous set of choices for us.

    The difference is, (a) love one another, (b) love your people, (c) work as a community, (d) accept reality as inescapable and (e) adapt yourself to succeed in reality.

    What dogmas (favored messages, favored teachings) will emerge from such an order? I have no idea. The market will solve that problem. But as long as they are not false. As long as they are True, Good, And Desirable, then they are in fact ‘good’.

    HIERARCHY OF INSTITUTIONS

    3) Roman Paganism (archetypes) (categories and measures)

    2) Roman Stoicism (virtues) (via positiva) (subcategories and measures)

    1) Roman Law (limits) (via negativa) (further subcategories and measures)

    0) The Laws of Nature (science) further subcategories and measures)

    THE SYNTHESIS OF LITERATURE AND TRUTH

    (read it and weep) (stoicism) (truthful literature)

    1) THE MONOMYTH – Transcendence (Transformation)

    2) THE ARCHETYPES – Characters (Categories)

    3) THE VIRTUES – Comparison Operators (Values)

    4) THE ORDERS – Axioms (Relations: sets of conditions)

    5) THE NARRATIVES – Operations (Methods of change in state)

    6) THE DISCIPLINES – Mindfulness/Stoicism ( Noise Reduction)

    7) THE SCIENCES – Measurement (reduction of ignorance, error, bias, deception reduction)

    8) THE TRUTH – Parsimony (Most Parsimonious Operational Name of a Recipe of Transformation.)

    THE LIMITS

    There exists only one objective – transcendence.

    There exists only one narrative – transcendence

    There exist only a few sub-narratives – methods of transcendence

    There exist only so many non-false virtues – variables of transcendence

    There exist only so many portfolios of virtues – transcendent characters.

    There exist only so many methods of non-false noise reduction – transcendent mind.

    There exist only so many methods of non-false elimination of falsehoods – transcendent reason.

    There exists only so many sets of primary operations – transcendent truths.

    Via-Positiva:

    A myth can employ anthropomorphism in an act of transcendence.

    A myth can employ hyperbole (super-normalism) in an act of transcendence.

    A myth can employ any technique to create an immoral condition against which one employs virtues to transcend.

    A myth can employ virtues in an act of transcendence.

    Via Negativa:

    A myth cannot contradict the virtue of transcendence.

    A myth cannot contradict of a virtue of transcendence in an act of transcendence.

    A myth cannot employ a falsehood in an act of transcendence

    A myth cannot employ luck or miracles in an act of transcendence.

    A myth cannot employ fictionalism (idealism, supernaturalism, pseudoscience/pseudo-rationalism) in an act of transcendence.

    CONCLUSION

    If a myth can survive these tests then it is true, and good.

    If a myth cannot survives these tests then it is false, and evil.

    MALTHUS WAS HALF WRONG

    (worth repeating)

    The bottom is too heavy. Malthus was wrong. It is not that the numbers will defeat us. It is that the numbers of those lacking agency will defeat us because the cost of their transformation from animal to man is simply too high for the productivity available to them to be used to organize them into a voluntary organization of production, distribution, and trade, in the absence of technology and markets produced externally to them.

    PETERSON’S IRONICALLY POSTMODERN VERSION OF TRUTH: PRAGMATIC

    —“Peterson’s notions of truth and falsity are very “pragmatic” – an ends justifies the means sort of conception – “lies” within his world view have very little to do with scientific or empirical accuracy. Peterson is brilliant but has significant blind spots as it relates to metaphorical or allegorical truisms which necessitate an aspect of “falsehood” and the contrast therein.”— Rob Ellerman

    Well said. I didn’t think of that positioning. )

    Peterson sees the frustrated mind of the human less valuable to others than than it can manage, struggling to make sense of, and succeed in, the universe given its lack of internal and external agency.

    Peterson is acting as a Priest. (I’m acting a judge). And it’s the competition between the need to teach meaning in order to act, and the need to resolve conflict in order to prevent (empirical) ill actions.

    The common ground between Priest and Judge is near perfection – if and only if he succeeds in constructing a new ‘religion’ out of literary analysis of myth, BUT if the battle for good and evil among those myths, is between the eastern fictionalist, and the western supernormal.

    I think this is the origin of his problem. What you call ‘pragmatism’.

    OPERATIONAL PROPERTARIAN TESTIMONIAL GRAMMAR

    There is a basic logic of all communication that is reducible to a set of ‘measurements’ that allows us to construct a language (terms) and grammar that make it very difficult to state falsehoods. (this is primarily what Acquisitionism, Propertarianism, and Testimonialism provide)

    And given that we understand this grammar, we can also show how suggestion can be created by a series of related statements through unstated but intermediary consequences (suggestive deductions).

    It is very hard to construct lies via that intermediary means of suggestion. I suspect people will try to invent some method, but I think it’s going to be as easy to defeat as religious arguments are today.

    There is a limit to human cognitive ability which is why game theory is of such limited value beyond the second or third order. Just as there is a limit to the number of chess moves a human seems to be able to rationally consider in advance of play.

    So to translate that, it means it is extremely difficult to construct a lie that ordinary people can be fooled by if we make it difficult to do so beyond the third order.

    —“Traces are still being done on the two firearms recovered at the scene — an SKS rifle 7.62 (which is a Chinese-made AK variant) and a 9 mm pistol, a law enforcement source tells CNN.”—

    no. an SKS is NOT an AK variant. It is a much more primitive weapon.

    The AK was invented to replace it.

    In technological terms, the sks is a clip-fed rifle like the M1 Garand. The AK is a magazine fed rifle like the M16.

    FWIW: to develop the SKS the russians downscaled the design of the mechanism of a german artillery weapon. (Someone said russian, but I’m pretty certain the history is german artillery ->russian artillery -> russian rifle

    GROW UP. MEASURE. CALCULATE. DECIDE

    You know, i dont’ work with introspection. I work with science. as far as I know ascquisitionism is correct.

    As I have come to understand, the stoics discovered acquisitionism and it was lost.

    As far as I know, the virtues are methods of providing training in the use of acquisitionism.

    I don’t use literature. I didn’t read freud. I read neitzche as a scientist reads a blueprint. And I found him … tiresome at best.

    Hayek started with the brain. He almost did it. I started with artificial intelligence and I did it.

    Why? I removed more nonsense than hayek did. hayek removed more nonsense than freud. freud removed more nonsense than nietzsche. And nietzsche removed almost 2000 years of nonsense.

    The whole german program is nonsense. the whole french program is nonsense on stilts. the whole jewish program is nonsense on … really, really, big stills using a lot of smoke and mirrors.

    Nonsense, more nonsense, nonsense on stilts, and nonsense on stilts with smoke and mirrors.

    Grow up. Measure. The point of measuring is to eliminate all that nonsense.
