It is not a matter of abandoning christianity, but further reforming it so that it is a european religion of transcendence, not a middle eastern, or third world cult of poverty, ignorance, and servitude.— (worth repeating)

    (FB 1543185228 Timestamp) THE HAPPY CHRISTIAN TROPE IS TRUE Mindfulness breeds happiness and christianity produces one of the optimum forms of mindfulness – at the cost of being vulnerable to hostile cultures. The general argument that christians place more investment in the family and atheists more in the self is impossible to refute. This may also be affected by the sortition of post 1960’s delayed marriage, and the pairing off of people who both have education and career and hyper consume rather than a man who produces and a woman who reproduces. The fact that christians are happier, breed faster, and are less political, is simply consistent over time. The family is the optimum unit of production of generations and the state is terrible at it, favoring instead the individual over the family producing the hyperconsumption and hollowing out of the middle of the population that must both produce and reproduce, where the underclass only reproduces and the upper classes only produce thereby destroying not only the familiy, and the genome, but the civilization itself.

    (FB 1543194668 Timestamp) (worth repeating) —As members of cults we are always in conflict over the legal systems under them, since those legal systems are arbitrary means of advocating different group evolutionary strategies of cooperation – all of which, under religion, despite their early utility, evolved to be more hinderance than good. As member of the Love of Man, of our Peoples, In nation-states, producing commons suitable to our needs, we are not enemies but allies in a division of labor producing the transcendence of man. If there is a better religion than that I do not know what it is. But it is the one I am proposing. A religion of the love and transcendence of man into gods, not into the subjects of priests and politicians, investors and industrialists.—

    (FB 1543250817 Timestamp) SIGNALS AND RELIGION by Luke Weinhagen Signals are like a drug. You get the dopamine hit from doing the signalling without having to expose yourself to the costs of doing the being. Signals are passive. Being is active. Your actions are always the expression of your truth .Where your passive state does not match your active state, your passive state is a lie. It is the exposure of this lie that people are responding to. It is the trappings of these belief systems that are, and should be, under attack first. The trapping are the passive decorations of belief, not the costly actions of belief. One can wear them and signal their belonging and righteousness. These are merely the demands the religion makes of its believers. Stripping this away is the first attack. There is no action here so there is no agency here. The response is all upset Once the trapping are stripped away you can know what the religion actually demands of its adherents. You learn what actions one must take as a practitioner, not just one that signals belief, but puts that belief into action. Where the attack on religion meets the practitioner is where agency begins to be available. It is at this point where practitioner of and critics of can meet with cooperation, boycott or violence. Where we have the opportunity to strip away those actions that impose an external cost and use the good that remains to help guide men to transcendence. Cooperation to remove the errors and lies and retain that which allows transcendence. Boycott to deny the external costs of errors and lies and allow the practitioners able to do so to keep their faith with full internal accounting. (Bill’s “Ending Brother Wars”) Violence to end the external costs of error and lies for practitioners unable to practice full accountability. (my guess is that when we get to a point where natural law is implemented, we will see cooperation, boycott and violence line up with Christianity, Judaism and Islam) In the exploration of religious belief, dogma and ideology I think Curt’s recent “No More Lies” post is one of his most important (even if you believe he got every single detail wrong) as it shows the effect of stripping away the trappings – https://www.facebook.com/curt.doolittle/posts/10156800621732264

I’m working on the constitution and it’s statements on religion so I had to test some ideas. I should be done and will move on again shortly. I got stuck on the debt-creation concept a few weeks ago and only felt I got my arms around it in the past week. Working through that problem meant trying a lot of arguments from a lot of angles. And this forum is where I run experiments, and people try to refute them, and I learn from that ‘market’ activity. Doing my job. It’s part of the job. That said, I am profoundly proud of working through the problem of religion. It is the hard problem of social science. And worse, like Truth Telling, it is EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE to produce a good religion and extremely cheap to produce a bad one. Law and Markets are trivial achievements by comparison. Cheers.

    (FB 1543247701 Timestamp) CREATING THE HIGH-DISGUST PERSONALITY BIAS (pls discuss) by Anne Summers I would argue 2 things… Abrahamic religions are attractive to, and create high disgust personalities. It’s the high disgust, low tolerance mind set that will “win the day”. (“The Most Intolerant Always Wins”) Abrahamic religions aren’t the problem, from looking at it from your point of view, it’s the high tolerance nature of the European.

    (FB 1543192600 Timestamp) ON UKRAINE AND MARTIAL LAW (From a journalist friend in ukraine. Edited for anonymity and clarity.) —“Hi, … I can’t get a feeling for the reasons behind the martial law request from the Rada. I can see both good and bad reasons to ask. Can you help me?”— Hello Curt ! I think, this decision was logical. The goal of the Russian Federation is to continue the war; to inflict economic losses on Ukraine; to destabilize the state in such a way as to avoid a further wave of sanctions. Without Ukraine’s response, the enemy will feel they can act with impunity – besides, it is a demonstration of Russian aggression in the face of the whole world. This policy will facilitate the provision of earlier sanctions inside the country, and such a situation can play a political role for the authorities in Ukraine. –“And, by any chance, are the oligarchs a target of this policy?”– It’s possible since they monopolize the television. But we must wait and see. It is an interesting time to be a journalist. —“Thanks!”—

    (FB 1543246953 Timestamp) —“Ever worry that the drive to establish the “Law” makes you into the abrahamic deity you claim to despise?”—Noel Fritsch Well, you know, (a) Odin was, it appears, a real person, as was aristotle. Over the centuries, we seem to have made odin into a ‘god’ in the traditional (ancestor spirit) sense, if not the abrahamic (abstract deity) sense. We have made aristotle into a hero bordering on a demigod in the traditional if not abrahamic sense. All civilizations have law-givers. The question between them is only the GRAMMAR of the law, the contents of that law, and the consequence of that law. As far as I know, I set out to write, and have written, the Law of European Peoples: The Natural Law, as a continuous, consistent, coherent extension of the Laws of Nature. In some sense, I suppose this would make me a law-giver if by some chance I am successful in influencing in the present or future such law as a reformation of the Anglo Common Law, Anglo Saxon Law, Germanic Law, Proto-germanic Law, and West Aryan Law. But that law is via negativa: like evolution – fully adaptive. Not a reflection of time and circumstance, but as eternal as the natural sciences and logics. We have incrementally prohibited parasitism and predation and now in the present, we are capable, with the knowledge we have today, of incrementally prohibiting those predations, parasitisms and harms caused by falsehood, deceits, and lies. What one does positively with the truth is a market question not a truth question. So I don’t worry about being cast as a Proxy Ancestor for Liars. And If I was lucky enough to be remembered as a Law Giver, then I can think of no greater honor that history could grant. Although I kind of doubt such a thing will or can happen, and it wouldn’t be an ambition. (b) I despise abrahamism: false promise, straw manning, undue praise, pilpul, critique and the Three Great Fictionalisms to enforce conformity by submission. In other words, the Great Lies. I do not see how ending the abrahamic dark age of lies is the same as creating a new dark age of lies. (c) deities don’t exist as other than literary and mythological characters in our narratives. It’s not that they aren’t useful to some degree. But they are clearly more useful as law givers, generals, scientists, engineers, poets and artists than deities in an era where those of us with any literacy are aware that these deities are but fictional characters for simple illiterate ignorant minds. (FWIW: I have a god by the way. I don’t know his name. But I talk to him every day. Often. He is, as I undrestand it, the god of my people, or a ‘face of’, or instance of, that god that I can comprehend. But my understanding of his existence is purely scientific: as information. That does not limit his utility, any more than imagining whether my grandmother would approve of my behavior at the dinner table. ) (d) Taking the place of the gods? The same was said about every one of the scientists and sciences and look how positive was that outcome. We are now the gods we sought to please. As were the gods of yesteryear the kings they sought to please. (e) The entire world converges (thanks to anglos largely) on the universal language of truth telling (science) which evolved (thanks to anglos largely) out of anglo law of tort, and the empirical tests and testimony under that law. So I see my work as completing the european project of converting all disciplines as subdisciplines of truthful testimony under the law. I mean, you have to find a way for justifying falsehoods, deceits, and lies, that does not at the same time say that those who require them are insufficiently human, because they are insufficiently possessed of agency, to as a consequence possess sovereignty, in display word and deed. I am perfectly ok with a multi class society where we reverse democratic and christian universalism, and return to the traditional hierarchy of Aristocracy, Nobility, Citizenry, Freemen, Serfs, Slaves, Domesticated animals, and undomesticated animals with demonstrated agency providing the privileges of rank – because this appears to be the truth. However I am equally ok with high investment education in fitness, intuition, reason, knowledge, and occupation (skill), such that these ranks are fluid under rule of law and markets. Both of these are forms of ‘truth’ expression.

    (FB 1543254265 Timestamp) THE IDOL OF JESUS VS THE LOVE OF OUR PEOPLE I would say that there are many heroes of history to imitate, and that given that christianity was designed as a war against western civilization – one that we have thankfully twisted to our own use over the centuries – there are rules we can take from christianity and those ideas that we can and should leave behind. I would suggest we love our people. That the church philosophers did a fairly good job of producing Christian Love in us. And it is christian love that is what makes us christians. And that supernatural crutches are very bad for us. There are far too many christians who escape the real burden of christian love through the IDOL of jesus. And therefore are not christians, but charlatans claiming virtues that they do not possess.

    (FB 1543191724 Timestamp) —“…Have you considered debating Curt Doolittle?”— I don’t waste time on the Three Great Fictionalisms of (a) faith (supernaturalism), (b) sophism (idealism) (c) pseudoscience, and I don’t make pragmatic excuses for them either. I spend my time on Education, Literature, History, Economics, Law, Science, Logics, and Mathematics. (not worth my time)
