    The Rational Risefacebook.comCHRISTIANITY

    Just finished a talk with James Fox Higgins of The Rational Rise. (Damn, seriously love that man. Wonderful human.)

    In that discussion I think I have talked about my view of reforming christianity more so than any other public venue.

    The net of it is that christianity (and all our european religions for that matter) are compatible with natural law. Yet, it is christian tolerance that has made us vulnerable and is the reason we can be so easily undermined. The most intolerant wins, and we were not intolerante enough.

    So hence my advocacy of a very intolerant law. But a law that must somehow accommodate our traditional religion(s).

    He did bring up one interesting idea that (foolishly) hadn’t occurred to me: is our vulnerability as christians due to our failure to legislate christianity and thereby prevent other religions. The answer to which I think was yes.

    But taking it further, what would have happened if we had been smart enough to (a) legislate america as a christian country, (b) had used the jefferson bible as the definition of christianity, (c) and encoded the christian ethos (as I have), as well as (d) natural law of reciprocity (as I have)?

    In retrospect that would have been a very good thing.

    Now, i still hold the opinion that training in mindfulness by stoic (cognitive behavioral) method is superior to supernaturalism; that training in ‘sacredness’ by ‘church lesson, ritual, and oath’ is superior to any other method available to us because unlike schools it involves the whole family; that the model of jesus is excellent for teaching optimum cooperation; that the natural law can be taught in church – because the church advocated it; that it can be taught with sacredness not supernaturalism; and that the church did a much better job of educating the people than the state. I think these things are almost impossible to argue with.

    This is a very non-supernatural method of achieving christian ends. But it preserves the church(es) as the center of civil society and restores via-positiva to the moral discipline and limits the state to via-negativa actions. Thereby ending the means by which our civilization has been undermined.

    SELF AUTHORING – SUPPRESSION OF MALINTUITION

    (suppression of the influence of cognitive biases)

    (repost)

    —“Q: Hey Curt, do you have a thought on the use of self-affirmations to create change in the self? For example, do you consciously talk positively with yourself with the intent on changing your own perception (personal narrative) ? Or do you think such a practice of positive self-affirmation can be used as an effective way of changing one’s personal narrative?”—

    Yes, that’s the essence of self authoring and stoicism is a formal approach to it.

    Yes it works. Although you can only change to what is true and good from what is false and not good.

    Most of the time I try to talk myself into either:

    1 – ‘Be kind; be overly kind; they are only children, and doing the best they can in life.’ (It is very hard to control the autistic urge to anger and to punish perceived stupidity)

    or

    2 – ‘Keep going no matter what, no matter how hard, you always win in the end”

    or

    3 – “You can’t change that, and don’t need to, just do better in the future.”

    or

    4 – “People think about you a lot less than you imagine, and generally better than you imagine, so don’t worry about it”.

    And those are things everyone probably needs to do. I don’t have the problem of ‘don’t take it personally’. I’m not agreeable enough to be affected by others. when they are wrong, only when I have been wrong.

    I have a lot of guilt about my occasionally losing tolerance for mortals and losing battle with my autism and hurting or disappointing people I care about; my divorce and one other relationship i should have handled better (i was very ill in both circumstances); underperforming for my investors. And the only one of those I can fix is my investors.

    cheers

    (edit)

    The only thing I would add is “What is the worst that can happen?” I think this is the advice people thank me for the most. If we are too concerned with failure to take risks that do not harm us,then we unnecessarily pass on opportunities for success. People forgive failure in pursuit of moral ends. failure in and of itself if costing nothing harmful or immoral is a good thing – we learn from it.

    There is a difference between serving women, and being in their service. I don’t feel “complete” without a woman to serve (make happy, care for, support). But I am not in the service of anyone but myself and my people. Women seem to find joy in attempting to put men into their service, but will despise those men if they are successful in doing so. You lose your entertainment value as vehicle for exercising feminine manipulation. 😉

    COLLECTION OF POSTS ON GENDER RELATIONS

    —“Curt, I am engaging with someone who could gain a fair amount of benefit form your breakdown of gender differences so I was hoping you could provide for me a collation of all that you have written on the matter.”— A Friend

    1) Search function on propertarianism.com http://propertarianism.com works pretty well actually.

    – If you go to the web site and search for ‘women’ you will get a pretty great selection of posts.

    – If you search for ‘female’ you will get the stuff on female ‘argument’.

    – If you search for ‘Marriage’ you will get those posts.

    With those three searches (better to do them separately) you will get the compendium.

    (You will have to skip over some posts that are obviously unrelated, but not that many.)

    2) The posts I’ve written since September on the subject…well you have to use the FB link until I post them to the site by using this link:

    3) I don’t know if Brandon Hayes has a ‘thread’ where he has capture male-female relations, but if he does he will probably comment here in response with a link.

    —“Curt: What are the best dogs for the coming struggle?”– A Friend

    ( Under the assumption that this is a serious question… lol )

    Anything in the Working Dog group that doesn’t drool. Hard to argue with shepherds, dobermans, etc – but I find they are better for guard dogs, and I don’t find that all that useful – it makes them likely to absorb damage and end up expendable. Myself I prefer the Sporting group because they are less demanding, and all I want from a dog is entertainment, companionship and alarm services. The guns do the rest. The long legged floppy eared hounds can be good but I find them stupid. The rest are just … eh….

    CONTRA WEINSTEIN VS DAWKINS

    I would love to have this debate because the alternative is that while we have a natural neurological demand for stories (frames) the world has solved for the satisfaction of demand, and one can solve for the satisfaction of that demand by a host of means – some of which have entirely positive externalities, and some of which have entirely negative externalities. Some of which are in fact eugenic, and some of which are in fact dysgenic – a disease, or cancer. In other words, we SURVIVE some religions, but those religions that we survive appear to have been reproductively successful for that which does not lead to ends that put our survival under our CONTROL: domestication. And while a relativist might say ‘well evolution doesn’t make that distinction’ – saying so would be incompatible with (a) self determination of group or man, (b) the evidence that we achieve what we do through self and other ‘domestication’, or (c) that those who achieve the most domestication are responsible for dragging mankind out of his animal condition into his human rational condition with which he control his destiny (survival), in a universe arguably hostile to (costly) sentient life.
