PLEASE UNDERSTAND WHAT STEVE IS SAYING: K CONSTRAINS DAMAGE OF R. via Steve Pender Hmmm 99.9% of species have gone extinct. If you’ve seen that video about the impact of wolves on Yellowstone, it seems that predators are more important in keeping r selected species suppressed, than r selected species are at filling their little niches. Suppression of r selected species seems to have a cascading eugenic effect on nature, while unrestricted r-selected reproduction can lead to plagues, famines, etc. It could be that certain r-selected species may fill valuable niches that limit the expansion of more threatening r-selected species though. However, we do need bees (pollinators), and whatever insects decompose dead organic matter (recyclers).

Religions Are Easily Constructible by Truthful Means.
I don’t believe in equality (monopoly) of men, or monopoly religion, or monopoly government, or the strategy of the herd (monopoly). Just the opposite. We all need a ‘cult’ but that cult needn’t be one of semitic evil, and we certainly have our original cult (germanic-greco-roman) to retunr to as well as our real heroes. Myth, oath, ritual, festival, gathering place. That’s what makes a cult. That’s what provides the ‘programming’. THere are many ways of doing it. And there is no evidence our way is good. Just the opposite. It’s bad. and judaism and islam are worse, and so is hinduism and buddhism. We had it right. Why we keep fucking it up is something we can explain now. But hero-ancestor-nature worship(appreciation/thankfulness) and stoicism (self-authoring in the virtues that produces mindfulness), and celebration of the seasons and cycles of life appears to be better than ‘all the lies’ of abrahamism.

Why Our Religions Lost – It’s Obvious..
—Why did we lose?—Justus Bryce Because the left beat us to a pseudoscientific pseudorational religion faster than we reformed our existing religion. The church had more malincentives. It had built a bigger network of lies. It could not work its way out of those lies. Marxism/Feminism/Postmodernism is a secular religion that defeated supernatural religion. They abandoned the church, took over the academy, and replaced the church with the academy. And they did it with pseudoscience – the counter-enlightenment against Maxwell, Menger, Darwin, Pareto/Weber/Durkheim, Spencer, Nietzsche, Vagner and the Romantics. That’s why we lost. They out-invented us. How do we out invent them? Truth. Intolerant truth. Extremely intolerant truth. We have plenty to be thankful for that is true.May 24, 2018 9:08am -

–“Can We Unify the Sciences?”– Yes. And It Wasn’t That Difficult.
—“A lecturer at my university said that you cannot unify the sciences/integrate them because different disciplines require different tools to understand and apply them. There is no universally applicable set of tools, he argued. Do you have a response to that?”—Reece Edward Haynes Well, there are many devices necessary for measurement at the various scales, and that since the different scales exist because of different available operations at each scale (that is what demarcates scale), and as such a logic (set of operations and laws) at each scale that differ (subatomic physics, vs physics, vs chemistry, vs biochemistry, vs biology vs sentience vs ecology etc.) I would say that operational language in the sciences has already falsified his statement, and that dependence upon operational language the same in every discipline and that operations are commensurable (human actions) across disciplines. And that the scientific method(as I’ve defined it) is the same (dimensional warranty of due diligence) in every discipline. I would say that the disciplines could be best treated as grammars, each with instruments, categories, and names necessary for the scale of their inquiry (operations available at that scale). But that those grammars are commensurable in operational prose. Some disciplines are entirely pseudoscientific and some are the opposite. However, most contain idealism, and most violate the method somehow. But that these are problems of language, ignorance, and honesty(deceit) more so than function. So i think from the evidence and the logic he’s wrong.

The A—hole Doctrine
( Most of the world is safe and enjoyable if you’re not an asshole. I’m not an asshole. Particularly in other countries. And I don’t associate with assholes in other countries. Nor do I engage in the activities that assholes engage in: drinking, drugs, large groups of people, making a lot of noise, generally trying to attract attention. The world punishes you for being an asshole. And so you shouldn’t be surprised that if you do, or enjoy doing, things assholes do, that regardless of where you are, you’re being treated like an asshole. Likewise the same applies to the naive. If you think the world isn’t full of a healthy distribution of assholes, and that you don’t have to take self responsibility for avoiding assholes, and people, places, and events where assholes congregate, then you are in fact, one of the assholes. )

Why Is Christianity Good?
Exhaustive Extension kinship love to near kin is the optimum cooperative strategy. Exhaustive investment in personal acts of charity demonstrates that optimum cooperative strategy. The church continued the stoic tradition of extirpation of hatred from the human heart. The church outlawed cousin marriage The church revived natural law under the scholastics.May 24, 2018 10:12am
