  • ITS NOT JUST STOICISM, ITS THE ENTIRE WESTERN CORPUS. During the age of transfor

    ITS NOT JUST STOICISM, ITS THE ENTIRE WESTERN CORPUS.

    During the age of transformation the westerners were running individual farms, by extended families, and ruled by a professional warrior aristocracy – today’s “business owners”.

    In this age of transformation, Westerners discovered:

    – objective truth and judgment, testimony, jury, senate

    – debate, reason, and the precursor to science: empiricism

    – common law, contractualism, a prohibition on negatives.

    – the heroic myths and legends as positive mythos.

    – celebrations, plays, and rituals as civic religion.

    In other words they never made the conflationary errors of competing civilizations that combined rule and religion, religion and law, positive claims with negative prohibitions. Where the Babylonians and Egyptians created political monopolies, and where the jews created one book, and the Hindus created one narrative, the Chinese a rational monopoly state as an extended family, and the west “a calculator of innovation”.

    Conflation has led other civilizations to stagnation, and the attempt for example, of the cosmopolitans (and cultural marxists) to reconflate utopian religion and pseudoscience into moral rather than empirical law, has cost us a century and almost cost us our civilization.

    SO WHY DOES THAT MATTER?

    The same conflationary error is true for the methods of conflating mindfulness (individual), mysticism(pseudoscience), and mythology(explanation).

    in the west we did NOT conflate:

    personal mental discipline (emmpirical stoicism)

    the common law (empirical ethics)

    philosophy (rational virtues)

    mythology (mythical ideals)

    natural civic religion( ritual, feast, celebration)

    In other words: nothing was a lie.

    SO LET’S COMPARE THIS STACK TO THE OTHERS

    Japanese ritual

    Japanese ancestor worship

    ‘family’ law (confucius failed to solve the problem of politics)

    Chinese Confucianism (upper), Lao Tzu (lower), Buddhism (escapism)

    Natural Civic Celebrations

    These are ALMOST as ‘true’ except for Buddhism and the fact that the Chinese could not solve the problem of politics (the Han have the same problem as we ‘Aryans’ but they admit it, we don’t). So they were stuck with monopoly. They view their period of consolidation as an achievement without understanding that the warring states, just as each ‘long war’ in europe created a revolution in knowledge and understanding.

    NOW COMPARE TO THE MIDDLE EASTERNERS

    Egyptian, Babylonian, Judaism, Christianity, … you get the idea.

    It is a monopolistic, authoritarian, conflationary, set of such amazing lies and deceits that it is unbelievable that humans fall for it OTHER than that we are so susceptible to environmental overloading of our reason. We are more dependent upon imitation and compatibility with others than we are on reason and evidence. WE are still mimics.

    NOW COMPARE TO MODERNITY

    Boazian, Marxist, Freudian, FrankfurtSchool pseudoscience.

    Postmodern deception.

    How many various techniques for finding excuses for mindfulness?

    How desperate our people for family and tribal information sharing?

    We have television-families, we live alone in boxes – we have replaced interpersonal validation and reality-checks with consumer purchases and store-bought-identities, and virtue signal spirals.

    Feminism, individualism,…. yet 40% of women are on anti-depressants, men are committing suicide in droves over 50, we have a tragic birth rate, and our civilization is being stolen from underneath us.

    What is the difference between selling the Chinese boatloads of heroin, and the import of discount consumer goods that allow us naturally produced endorphine fallacies? There isn’t any.

    I could go on at length, but the point is stoicism is to personal philosophy and personal religion what science is to epistemology, what the common law is to social order, what history is to literature, what philosophy is to religion.

    Stoicism was as important an invention as science.

    And those bastards killed it and forced Christianity upon us on purpose – to enslave the ignorant and the women, and the slaves, to rally against the aristocracy, and to surrender themselves to the bureaucracy.

    There is not enough room in hell for those people, and there is no way to compensate humanity for the damage taht they have done.

    IF hell needs an expansion we certainly can put the socialists, postmodernists, feminists, and pseudoscientists down there enough to force overcrowding. 😉

    0) Current innovators talk in group evolutionary strategies

    1) Intelligent people talk in institutions and incentives.

    2) Educated idiots talk in laws and rights.

    3) Well meaning fools talk in shoulds and morals

    4) Idiots talk in meanings and contradictions

    5) animals express emotions of acceptance and rejection.

    Or like David said the other day, 2500 years after Aristotle we still have idiots arguing the meaning of terms like medieval theologians pondering the words of god.

    It is more frequent on the left since their objective is to invoke feeling not to construct a rational argument

  • Don’t be ridiculous. I’m wrong al the time. How else would I find the truth with

    Don’t be ridiculous. I’m wrong al the time. How else would I find the truth without being wrong.

    The beauty of strict construction is that it’s very hard to be wrong without knowing it.

    Most people try to make operational arguments and discover how difficult it is.

    It’s difficult for me too. It usually takes me ten tries over a couple of months.

    So in that sense it’s a lot more like writing a proof or poetry.

    It takes a while. But after you do it it sticks in your head forever.

    So don’t try to get it right so to speak. Put it on your wall and just incrementally improve it.

    It’s hard. But it works.

  • Thinking of the people who get offended when I contradict their intuitive sense

    Thinking of the people who get offended when I contradict their intuitive sense of moral righteousness and slay their sacred cows. And I’m sorry really on an interpersonal level. But science ( truth ) isn’t tolerant of my intuitions either.

    We all believe or desire to believe these comforting falsehoods.

    But the falsehoods of the left are more appealing to large numbers than mine and yours.

    And if we want to defeat their lies and fallacies then truth is the only method. We cannot defeat their lose with less desirable lies.

    But truth is a two edged sword.

    It slays our fantasies as much as those of the left.

  • memory. 1975. rural new york. summer? walking through the department store. look

    memory. 1975. rural new york. summer? walking through the department store. looking for cassette tapes. listening to bohemian rhapsody, totally aware that I am too ignorant to grasp the meaning of the lyrics, and not caring – i understand it’s timeless. just trying to figure out how many albums I can fit on a three pack of memorex tapes. i can smell the plastic, feel the tape, remember the sun.

    cut to walking down the hall where the kids are singing ‘smokin in the boy’s room outside the men’s room … and thinking they’re nuts. not my tribe. certainly not college bound.

    the color of the yellow punched tape in my hand. the impossibility of cleaning up all the dots at the teletype.

    homogeneity is something that seems boring until you lose it. the fact that it’s boring means you are part of everyone and everything – and you have time and space for boredom.

    And it’s in that time and space you find meaning.
