The fundamental problem is producing submission to the pack (piety) when the leadership of the pack is just as much of a bunch of bitchy whiny egoistic a–holes as you are. Hence idealistic third party proxies, OR monarchies. My preference is monarchies backed by judges and warriors. They’re not false. And they tend to subsidize the arts and letters.

Religion just means ‘education’.
Religion just means ‘education’. The problem is we understand physical ed, intellectual ed, and vocational ed, but only the stoics understood education of intuition in a disciplined fashion. The only ‘evil’ method of educating intuition that was invented was abrahamism. Religion is just education in intuition. The question is what is the method of educating our intuitions such that we demonstrate positive rather than negative externalities?

Left Weak Herd vs Right Strong Pack
Left Weak Herd vs Right Strong Pack by John Mark Left (the weak): The strong should invest in us (allow/enable us to consume beyond what we are able to earn in reciprocity). Right (the strong): That’s a bad investment. It will drag us all down. Left (the weak): You are evil. Right (the strong): No, we’re just wise. And we’re just better than you. (War ensues.) (The only way the Right loses the war is if they refuse to use force – rule of law etc. – to suppress the Left’s theft.)

The difference in our instincts
—“People cherry-pick data according to the narrative their instinct causes them to embrace.) It just so happens that the right-wing instinct builds civilization and the left instinct destroys it.”— John Mark
