  • Abrahamism in Its Current State

    ABRAHAMISM IN ITS CURRENT STATE December 28th, 2018 8:49 AM [A]brahamism consists of the continuous advancement of the female means of conflict and war: undermining, deceit, and exhaustive relentless diligence in seizing every opportunity to do so. It is the ‘gatherer’ and ‘herd’ strategy of continuous harm. Men tend not to do this, in-group. Instead men use threats of violence and organized violence. CORE POSTS

Abrahamism v3: Islam against the ancient world’s Aristocracy Abrahamism v4: Marxism against the modern world’s Aristocracy. Abrahamism v5: French Postmodernism against the current world’s Aristocracy. Abrahamism v6: Islamism against the entire world’s Aristocracy.

    3. Abrahamism is a Grammar of Devolutionary Deceit

    The Revolt Against The Invention of Truth Duty Aristocracy Meritocracy And Eugenic Evolution. Abrahamism = …. Pilpul(positiva) + Critique(negativa) = (undermining, loading, framing, overloading, suggestion, obscurantism, propagandism, fictionalisms) = ….. …. Gossip (undermining) = …. …. …. Female Group Strategy of Undermining Alphas = …. …. …. …. Female reproductive strategy of advancing her high-investment offspring regardless of merit = …. …. …. …. …. Dysgenic Parasitism.

    4. The Definition of Abrahamism in Natural Law

    In our Glossary of Natural Law “Abrahamism” refers to the argumentative technique of using Pilpul (via-positiva), and Critique (via-negativa) to construct sophisms (the argumentative equivalent of numerology and astrology) via use of loading, framing, suggestion, obscurantism, overloading, the Fictionalisms, appeals to reasonableness, and false promise, to create hazards. All three Abrahamic Religions, Kantian philosophy, Marxist argument, and Postmodern thought all make use of this technique of argument, often stated as “Dialectic” but operationally consisting of Pilpul vs Critique. ( If you cast this term as ‘racist’ or ‘hate speech’ you’re just either ignorant or a liar or both: a bad person. ) Most of Propertarianism (the Natural Law of Reciprocity) consists of attempts to prevent Abrahamic arguments and replace them with Testimonial (Ratio-Scientific-and-Operational) arguments so that Law (Constitutions) can be constructed strictly and logically and is not open to accidental, intentional, misinterpretation. Thus requiring legislatures reform a law rather than allow legislation from the Jurist’s bench – which is the means by which the US Constitution was undermined. My work consists of the suppression of deception (parasitism) by rhetorical means. Only liars and thieves would seek to suppress it.

    1. More Properties of Abrahamism 

    ABRAHAMISM: 1) Restatement of Myth as History 2) Projection of Traditional Wisdom as Authoritarian Law 3) Dependence upon Supernaturalism (“Magic”, “Miracle”) 4) Monopoly (exclusivity) and threat of loss for non compliance. 5) False Promise of Impossible(supernatural, natural) Reward for Compliance. 6) Use of Pilpul and Critique In Defense of the falsehoods. 7) Castes of Priests with status, power, and economic incentives to perpetuate the falsehoods. 8) Secret Knowledge, or Prohibition on Competing Knowledge, or Denial of contradictory knowledge. 9) Oath to a falsehood. Payment of Ritualistic costs to the falsehood. Payment of ‘donations’ (fees) to the priesthood. (Abrahamism, like Sovereignty, via-negativa Truth, The Grammars, and Natural Law are questions that will always require larger answers than people can easily absorb.)

    GETTING ANSWERS TO SUCH QUESTIONS – You can search my FB timeline by ‘curt doolittle abrahamism’. ( @[11019687:2048:Brandon Hayes] also keeps a long threads of related posts by all of us. I don’t think he keeps a ‘FB note’ listing those long posts as an index to his topic-posts, but if he does that would be a big help to people)

    • You can search the web site (it uses ElasticSearch now) by just entering ‘abrahamism’. My site is up to date through September first. I tend to update it once a quarter. Although I have gotten behind a number of times.

    WORK METHODOLOGY The way I work is by relating ideas across the spectrum in a series of shorter arguments – because I ‘whittle away’ at the stone so to speak, turning it to view it from different angles, working to gradually expose the figure (truth) below. I try to produce operational definitions in series, and to describe behavior as supply and demand using those series of definitions. Then I attempt to turn the fundamental insight into one or more aphorisms (summaries). Then to create a narrative that explains the topic and its applications. Then to weave these narratives together using the same constant language – this editing is what exhausts me and is why it takes me so long to produce a work. WORKFLOW I work from an outline of the complete scope of human thought. I work through the outline from metaphysics to group competitive strategy. Then I work with (many) sketches on FB. I move most of them to the web site. Then I collect the best of them into what I call ‘short courses’ or collections of posts. Then I take those ‘short courses’ and put them into the book. Then edit it all into an explanation. That’s my workflow. It’s actually painfully methodical. It just doesn’t look like it to the casual observer, because most people are desirous of rushing to judgment whereas i tend to exhaust a topic completely (very) before adding it to the canon. Then refine the network of concepts added to the canon once there. cheers.

  • A Very Brief Christmas Story – Audio

  • Dear Overconfident Young Men

    Dear Overconfident Young Man. [W]ords mean what we define them to mean, that is why definitions evolve with our knowledge. I have to convert terms and phrases, sentences and arguments into operational language, and deconflate terms into series in order to increase precision and prohibit error, bias, and deceit. Ergo, words mean what I define them to mean. Reforming language is part of what we do here in our pursuit of defeating the lies of the left. re: A term such as natural law. Search my site for ‘a short course in natural law‘ for definitions and explanations. I use the internet for market testing, not peer review. You aren’t the peer review because you lack sufficient knowledge to function as a peer, or a reviewer. at best you are a market test of the difficulty of educating the ignorant and lazy, who demand spoon-feeding in fast food rather than engaging in educational discourse. yet i am at present investing my time in attempting to educate you anyway. because i understand the folly of young men, but also that such folly can be put to good use if correctly directed. I don’t make claims I am infallible, only that I limit myself to claims upon which I have performed the scientific method of due diligence against ignorance error bias, fictionalism, and deceit. As such it is extremely difficult to err. and I have applied this technique in many fields so I have accumulated an inventory of claims I can make with high confidence. Otherwise I say I don’t know, or the question is undecidable, or my presumption not having performed due diligence, is that this set of options is possible. I teach men by playing King if The Hill Games, and rewarding those that succeed with feedback and additional investment in their progress. The internet is a locker room and I teach men in men’s fashion: dominance play. I am nothing like this in person. This is my job and it is how I have learned to do my job by managing, teaching, negotiating with, and persuading people over decades. I have written about each of these topics dozens of times. Yet you walk into my virtual classroom and presume you are a font of intelligence, wit, wisdom, knowledge, and virtue, and have no idea what goes on or why, nor basic knowledge of the subjects spoken of, when in fact you are just another young man taught by too many women and postmodernists to have conviction despite your ignorance. I teach many such foolish young men. and those who have the intellectual honesty to admit their error are the ones I invest in. Things are not what they seem on first blush. First blush is nothing but a measure of your ignorance of the context. cheers.
