The pseudosciences, pseudorationalisms, and supernaturalisms are all permanently desirable by the human mind, for both incoming and outgoing functions: (a) we desire the discount on reasoning provided by false certainties, and (b) we desire the discount that the false certainty provides in negotiation.

The Restoration: The Secret Of Western Civilization: Propertarianism In A Nutshell
(propertarianism core) We can restore the west’s evolutionary trajectory as the principle source of mankind’s innovation, restore our people and our civilization, and overthrow a century and a half of pseudoscience, by restoring to the common law the organizing principle of sovereignty – and consequential markets in everything, with just one law: truthful speech by the involuntary warranty of due diligence against error, bias, suggestion, obscurantism, pseudoscience and deceit, for the purpose of circumventing a voluntary, fully informed, warrantied, voluntary exchange, limited to productive externalities, by the imposition of costs against property in toto: that broad spectrum of things, relationships, behaviors, and commons, which we have borne costs to inventory, without imposing costs upon the things, behaviors, and commons of others. This warranty is achieved by proofs (demonstrations) of consistency in 1) categorical consistency, 2) internal consistency, 3) empirical consistency, 4) existential consistency, 5) moral consistency, 6) scope consistency. And while it might take a small effort to learn how to provide these warranties on all information, just as we have learned to provide warranties on products, warranties on services, and limited warranties on the reporting of basic research, we can complete the scientific method and require these proofs on all information. In every era we invent new expansions of the method of cooperation we call the division of perception, cognition, knowledge, labor, and advocacy. But in doing so we create greater asymmetries of knowledge, and therefore new opportunities to invent means of benefitting from the imposition of costs upon others that we call ‘parasitism’. And we rely upon courts, testimony, jury, judge, empirical truth, and the accumulated empirical knowledge of the common law of torts, to incrementally suppress and render illegal each innovation in parasitism as soon as the first case adjudicated is recorded for reference by other lawyers, prosecutors, and judges. The west was not first, nor wealthiest, nor possessed of greater numbers, superior resources, superior climate. But instead, by accident of circumstance, chose Sovereignty as their principle of organization – a choice which is possible only under empirical, testimonial speech we call ‘truth’, and a market for the resolution of any negotiation, exchange, or conflict – depriving all of authority over anything other than the preservation of sovereignty. Europeans created the distributed dictatorship of sovereign men, open to any man willing and able to reciprocally insure every other against violations of his sovereignty. This choice resulted in a civilization that calculates advancements faster than all other organizing models, and produces the least opportunity for parasitism and rents. And it is this velocity in the ancient and modern worlds that has allowed the west to defeat the red queen of corruption, and drag mankind kicking and screaming out of ignorance, superstition, mysticism, justificationism, conflationism, deception, hunger, poverty, physical labor, cellular decay, disease, and increasingly, the vicissitudes of nature, in an unforgiving universe hostile to life in all but the rarest of exceptions.

Why Don’t We Have Some Form Of Communism?
The problem is quite simple. It’s just unpleasant. But the universe is not kind. It has no mercy. And science tells us uncomfortable truths. if you cannot find a means of survival in the market, and others can do so but at lower prices, humanity does not need you. If humanity does not need you then your only choice is to find a means to make your nation, region, tribe, kin, or family need you. The problem with any MONOPOLY order (Fascist, Libertarian, Socialist), and the problem we created in the enlightenment promise that all people could join the middle upper middle, or aristocratic classes, if we expanded either the authoritarian, market, or socialist forms of economy. Instead, we need economies for each of the major classes, because we need to organize each of those classes differently. So monopolies, even monopoly democracy (majoritarianism) turns out to be the problem rather than the solution to the differences in the productivity of the estates of the realm (martial-order, burger-managemnet, craftsman-producer). There exist only three possible axes of coercion: – Violence:Law, – Bribery: Markets and Insurance – Fraud: Religion, Propaganda, and Deceit There exist only three axes of cooperation: – Parasitism:Takings, – Exchange:Markets, – Avoidance:Boycott There exist only three rational axes: – Predation when possible (immorality), – Exchange when Possible (morality); – Avoidance when possible (amorality). There exist only three methods of negotiation on cooperation. – Truth(science), Truthfulness, Honesty – Falsehood: Error, Bias, wishful thinking, suggestion/framing/loading, overloading/pseudoscience/pseudorationalism/propaganda, and deceit. – Silence. There exist only three axes of Organization – Predation(parasitism, – Exchange(production), – Separation (resistance) There exist only three possible axes of decidability for cooperative organizations: – Deliberate Selection via Authoritarianism (Fascism) – Pragmatic Eugenic Meritocracy (Markets) – Dysgenic Malthusian Equalitarianism (Socialism) The earth tells us a very clear, very obvious, very loud message: there are too many of us. Humans are not precious or special or valuable or intrinsically good. We are rational super predators organized by the application of violence and law, market and productivity, and norm and family.

The Three Characters of Honest Debate
Each of these characters represents one of the three axes of coercion. Put yourself in the center of a triangle with each of them at a corner, and try to achieve a consensus. This is the easiest way to understand the problem of political cooperation. Coercion isn’t possible, only exchange.

Mindfulness In Different Religious Traditions
shinto achieves mindfulness through precise repetition of ritual in a respectful manner. stoicism achieves mindfulness through small daily task completion in a virtuous manner. buddhism achieves mindfulness through meditation and escape from reality. Islam achieves mindfulness by many memorizations and ritual prayers during every single day. christianity achieves mindfulness by personal and collective prayer (and song). Bill Joslin’s Order: 1 Stoicism – 2 Shinto – 0 Buddism – -1 Christian – -2 Islam 1 engages reality purposefully 2 engage reality arbitrarily 0 avoid reality -1 engages fantasy (excluding Christian mystic practices) or could be listed above 0 because it is also engaging community…. tough one -2 vigorous assimilation of fantasy

Lets Give Everyone A Precise Language And For The Discussion Of Religion.
We have been misled to thinking that ‘religion’ requires superstition. But that idea is a product of the authoritarian dogma created by the church under Christianity. It’s simply not true. DECONFLATED, RELIGION CONSISTS OF: 1) Narrative: historical, mythical, supernatural 2) Metaphysical Judgments: (in many forms) 3) Group Evolutionary Strategy: (in many forms ) 4) Normative Rules: (in many forms) 5) Registries of Familial Property (birth, maturity, marriage, death) 5) Rituals both private and public: (mindfulness in its forms) 6) Feasts, Sports, Arts, and Festivals:(in their many forms) RELIGION ‘WORKS’ BY: 1 – providing some variation on ‘mindfulness’ in which we can escape the problem of being honest with ourselves independently of all our accumulated intuitions and biases. 2 – Forming associations between the ‘pack-response’ and group participation, and eliminating the problem of stress from post-tribal life’s lack of feedback, thereby extending trust bonds across kin groups, class groups, and market groups, which decreases transaction costs of all kinds in all walks of life. 3 – Establishing normative rules for familial and cross familial behavior, that made (and continue to) reduce natural frictions between genetic variations in gender, class, tribe, race that (truthfully) translate in to different demands for association, reproduction, economic cooperation, and rule – and the status seeking that affects each of those demands, dramatically. THE FUNCTIONAL PROBLEM OF WESTERN RELIGION 1 – Separation of education and religion …….. – The failure of religions to reform in response to the scientific enlightenment. …….. – The failure of religions to reform in response to Darwin. …….. – The Academy’s seizure of the functions of the church upon the failure of the church to reform. …….. – The End of western separation and competition between Religion and State by the adoption of the synthesis of Jewish cosmopolitan and puritan postmodern by the State, Academy, Media complex the current generation of thinkers refers to as “The Cathedral Complex”, or just “The Cathedral” for short. …….. – The beginning of state-financed New Indulgences (we call them ‘college diplomas’) that promise a middle or upper-class level of consumption instead of forgiveness of sins and entry into heaven – when the postwar economic boom that made possible the rapid expansion of the consumer class was just a temporary product of the combined tragedies of the Great European Civil War’s destruction of centuries of accumulated production capacity, plus the destruction of, and delay of expansion of, world production caused by the movement we call world communism (and now, its inheritor, world Islamism). 2 – the academy seized control of the commercial education and the ‘religious’ education (liberalism), but failed to seize familial education – and in most cases, assisted the state in the destruction first of black families, then white families, and now all families, in order to (a) provide women with child care (schooling), force them into the labor pool (feminism), and then consume the entire proceeds of women’s labor so that the war and boomer generation could retire early and lie on the next generation’s labor, and then immigrating third world labor to provide cheap labor (social programs) that cannot replace the prior generation because of lesser aggregate abilities. The family destruction was increased by an attempt to create a mobile workforce and thereby deprive women of the multi-generational support necessary to raise more than one child without exhaustion. And now it is impossible for women to return to childbearing and child-rearing because of the tax demands placed upon their earnings by the immigration of underclasses and the dependency of the aged yet healthy enough to work. 3 – The state-sponsored secular ‘religion’ that we currently teach is pseudoscientific (false, and dishonest), where the content of Christian religion (the extension of kinship forgiveness to non-kin) was ‘true’ but conveyed by nonsense and authoritarianism. 4 – One of the unstated drivers for the current conflict in America is not just the decline of the white population and the ascent of the colored cities, but because science has caught up and since 1990 has been aggressively disproving the universalist, globalist, equalitarian democratic secular socialist religion. And those who are aware of this are … angry … and full of conviction that their traditions and intuitions were correct. Therefore they feel betrayed and deceived. THE WEST HAS ALWAYS BEEN POLYTHEISTIC While it is the secret to the west’s competitive advantage, we are sometimes misled by our (false) historical narrative: The west never engaged in conflation, by creating ‘one book’ so to speak. We have always had: 1) Law (limits) for the Ruling (fathering) Classes, 2) Commerce (pragmatism) for the producing classes. 2) Religion (utopianism) for Science / pseudoscience, philosophy / pseudorationalism, and Theology / fraud for the Educating (mothering) classes (church/academy). And have always maintained the three estates of the realm using the three methods of coercion 1) Law/Limits: Force / ostracization from movement/ resources / life itself. 2) Exchange/Utility: Payment / Remuneration / Ostracization from consumption. 3) Religion: Gossip / Rallying / Shaming / Ostracization from opportunity for insurance from the tribe. THE WEST’S ADMINISTRATIVE RELIGION IS THE COMMON SOVEREIGN INDO-EUROPEAN/ARISTOCRATIC/ANGLO SAXON LAW, AND ITS PRIEST’S ARE OUR JUDGES Reason, empiricism, science, and now ‘testimonialism’ (the completion of the scientific method) all evolved out of western empirical common law. There is no reason our founding myths: 1) Homer, takes of kings, princes and princesses: the germanic myths, legends, and fairy tales; 2) History and the lives of the great thinkers; 3) the tales of Jesus and the saints; Cannot be taught as ‘religion’ and their contributions celebrated. RELIGION IS NECESSARY FOR EVOLUTIONARY REASONS, BUT SUPERSTITION, PSEUDO-RATIONALISM, PSEUDOSCIENCE, CONFLATION AND DECEPTION ARE NOT.
THE CYCLE OF REVOLUTIONS (TRUTHS) AND COUNTER REVOLUTIONS (LIES)
1) REVOLUTION: The invention of aristocracy (horse, bronze, wheel). COUNTER-REVOLUTION: organized conflationary superstitious advisory religion. 2) REVOLUTION: The invention of truth, reason, deconflation, competition. COUNTER-REVOLUTION: Conflationary Monotheistic Authoritarian Religion 3) REVOLUTION: Empricism COUNTER REVOLUTIONS: – French Pseudoscientific Moralism: Rousseau et al. – Russian literary nihilism. – German pseudorational philosophy. 4) REVOLUTION: Science: Darwin (evolution), spencer (operationalism), poincare(mathematical realism), maxwell (electromagnetism), nietzche(restoratino of aristocratic aesthetics) COUNTER REVOLUTION: – Jewish Cosmopolitan Pseudoscience: Boaz (anthropology), Marx (economics and sociology: cooperation), Freud (psychology), Adorno et al (Aesthetics).
