FALLACY OF WHITE PRIVILEGE: DEMANDING INGROUP BENEFITS WHILE MAINTAINING OUTGROUP STATUS.
by Bill Joslin (via Justin Allred)
(canon)
Better stated as in-group members pay for membership via opportunity cost to not betray in-group trust.
The incentive is clear.
The benefits of maintaining membership outweighs the opportunity costs of not betraying trust of the in-group.
This framing now includes class. Lower classes are on the cusp of this equation where betraying ingroup trust outweighs membership (i.e. crime and fraud).
And outgroup members have no benefit of membership so have no incentive to take on the opportunity cost.
“White privilege” distills down to outgroup con-artistry for why they should have ingroup benefits without paying the cost of membership….
And now we have the crux of the liberal philosophy and the common interests between lower class, migrants, academics and unassimilated sub-groups… All demanding ingroup benefits while maintaining outgroup status.

CHRISTIANITY WAS A GAMBLE.
by Daniel Jordan
Christianity was a gamble. Like all things ironically we can judge them by their results (by their fruits).
The good that we see is largely confirmation bias. The harm is in the category of unknown for most people due to chaos of measurement.
But for those committed to truth and logic it’s hard not to see the sophistry as a major step back from the path Aristotle and Pythagoras were on.
The group strategy as it turns out is probably more a biological strategy of high trust peoples evolving over time. Why do we label it as Christian when we have empirical evidence of optimum group strategies from Rome and Greece?

I don’t know if y’all see the convergence happening but world events are marching to opportunity day.

Is there a relationship between virtue and freedom? Why might have the Founding Father pursued virtue, rather than explicitly pursue freedom?
In this context, I am using –
Virtues: the characteristics and actions of an individual that enable the accumulation of trust.
Vices: the characteristics and actions of an individual that consume trust.
Virtue Freedom: The ability to refrain from acting, without the burden of consequence. To be free from compulsion.
Versus
Vice Freedom: The ability to act, without the burden of consequence. To be free from costs.
It is my belief that –
Virtue empowers the development of freedom, as trust increases the incentive for compulsion decreases.
Vice is dependent on freedom, social costs of vice are covered by consuming the store of trust.
Setting the founders aside, you may not agree their pursuit was one of virtue, this is my goal. My alignment with Propertarianism (https://propertarianism.com/) is with its potential to support the pursuit of virtue. For anyone interested in “why” I explore and post much of what I do, creating a structure where a man is free to pursue virtue is that “why”.
If the goal is freedom for all, the inherent demand this creates is the pursuit of virtue by all.
And where our definitions of virtue conflict with each other, meaning reciprocity is not possible, is where I believe we should be seeking separation rather than trying to impose our definitions on each other.Updated Oct 9, 2019, 10:24 PM

Mindfulness is good.
Mythological Strategy is good.
Church (oath, feast, ritual) is good.
Festival and Sport is Good
Jesus is far better than good.
That is not to say christianity is good.

DEVELOPING COUNTRIES.
It sounds horrible to you but the easiest answer is to hire 10,000 American lawyers to run your courts. This is the same strategy ancient empires used by using people from remote parts of the empires to govern populations they had no knowledge of. It works perfectly in past and present.
Everyone says they want good government, but they cannot have good government without good courts, and either soldiers or police who enforce the judgement of the court.
The court constrains the government.
Your constitutions are probably fine.
Your government is probably not fine. it is a government.
What makes the west successful is not our governments.
IT IS OUR LAW. Law is a ‘Religion’ in for our people.
Especially in America.

WE SURVIVED CHRISTIANITY, NOTHING MORE
—“Idk why intelligent Christians insist on using the term “Judeo-Christian” to describe Western values. Is it a matter of habit, protective lip service, or dishonesty? The wellspring of the West is Christianity, not Judaism. Saying so isn’t hateful, it’s just a fact. Embrace it!”—Faith J Goldy @FaithGoldy
Nope. It’s correct to say (a) that it describes jews, (b) it was developed by jews, (c) distributed by jews, (d) imposed upon the west by force by the byzantines (syrians, balkans, anatolians), and that europeans germanicized jewish christianity into a european folk religion.
But there is nothing european about it, other than wrapping paper of our Sun God, and it’s the inversion of the western heroic tradition which was aristocratic, militaristic, competitive, gods were troublemakers to appeal to or avoid and achilles was the man to imitate.
Before the jewish, christian, and islamic destruction of all the civilizations of the ancient world, the foundation narrative of western (mediterranean) civilization was Homer, and it was as common a subject of thought as the medieval bible – and to much superior consequence.
We survived judaism, christianity, and islam. The great civilizations of the egyptians, north africans, persians, anatolians, byzantines, nw indians, and the one-billion murdered by them did not.
The reason we may not survive the current attack upon western civilization by judaism (undermining by the pseudoscience and sophisms of marxism, feminism, postmodernism) and supernatural sophism of islam, is because christians do not yet grasp they made us weak, and still do.
Religious,Traditional, and Moral conservatism failed because we did not convert our history to science: the natural law, the physical laws, because christians resisted loss of the dogma. So the sophism and pseudoscience and supernaturalism of the enemy could not be ended by Law.
Look in the mirror. Your weakness under democracy is what made us fail. Democracy, Christianity, And Women.
Western civilization’s foundations are Heroism, Excellence, Truth regardless of cost (truth before face), sovereignty, reciprocity, the jury, and competitive markets in all aspects of life, resulting in a natural aristocracy. Christianity was just another means of undermining us.
We already had over a thousand years of Abrahamic Dark age in this world, from which northern europeans, least christianized and corrupted by the church, dragged mankind kicking and screaming out of superstition, ignorance poverty hard labor and disease.
Abraham is the only Demon to have walked this earth.
The wellspring of European people were the Yamna, the west indo european people, who combined horse, bronze, wheel, language, The Sky Father, Dayus Pitar, Zeus Pater, Jupiter, Sol, and the New Gods of the Germanic peoples.
Paternalistic, Hierarchical, Militaristic, Heroic.
Slaves submit to a despotic god.
Our ancestors rose above the gods.
And it is their heritage that made us.
Christianity was our Dark Age of Ignorance and Poverty.
Jesus was a superstitions illiterate philosopher who was too unsophisticated to speak in the most advanced knowledge of the time: greek reason. If you want to live the life of jesus vs epicurus vs socrates or any other, then do so and you will prosper and find happiness.
But never claim that the semitic religion of christianity was a good for our people. That’s just called ‘survivor bias’.
We survived it. Nothing more.
