ANOTHER ISLAMIC APOLOGIST TRIES TO UNDERMINE SECULAR GOVERNMENT Learn from this argument: What is a Religion? What Does Secular Mean? Why is the Constitution Scientific AND Sacred. CORRECT ANSWERS: RELIGION: A religion consists of a set of Myths, Rituals, and False Promises of freedom from the laws of nature (Fraud), by repetition and social construction, that provides the individual with mindfulness by depriving him or her of the responsibility of continuous discovery, adaptation, innovation, and evolution by those of nature....

THE SCIENCE SAYS: (1) Rule of Law by the Natural, Common Law of Self Determination by Sovereignty, Reciprocity, Truth, Duty, and Markets in association, reproduction, production, commons and polities at the cost of suppression of the reproduction of those unfit for those markets (2) Monarch as Judge of Last Resort, Outside the law in the restoration of rule of law (3) Government by Cabinet elected by the houses (4) Lords as Judge of Consequences of Economic Fashion and Whimsy (state, culture, civilization) (5) Parliament (business and industry) of as Judge of Economy (Production)....

OMG it’s embarassing. Bernard Kastrup is almost as bad as Rupert Sheldon. Look, your nerves and neurons do one thing: measure variations with pulses. Your nervous system runs a competition (economy, war) for internal consistency and external correspondence over time between those millions of pulses. This is why despite what (rather sophomoric) philosophers have argued, the camera obscura, and our ability to estimate spatial relations from it, demonstrates there is no difference between perception and reality....

Ukraine is my adopted home, and I favor Ukrainian independence and joining of the European community so that Ukraine follows Poland, and ends being the only poor white Christian country in Europe. But there is nothing that can stop Russia in a land war expansion. There is every strategic reason for Russia to at least capture the Don basin, and possibly everything east of the Dnieper. The USA and Europe are divided and in the final stages of the second ‘Bolshevik’ revolution, this time under neo-Marxist identity politics instead of Marxist class politics....

NOTES: Humor: I’ve had the first Russian thing played on me so many times by my Russian (Ukrainian) significant others. They don’t necessarily expect you to deliver. It’s just a game. They can blame their inability to pay on their men. lol So that when you really do deliver (in my case, I go for shoes and purses etc) then you get macro points. The russian game works because russan men are masculine....

I’ve been trying to clearly articulate the relationship between cycles in the neural economy, novelty-seeking within it, attention-seeking, self-‘busying’, responsibility, and mindfulness. In particular, the problem the simple folk have with self-busying vs attention. I want (as always) to produce an operational (physical, intuitionistic, classical) explanation of how physical biology produces differences in behavior, and how that behavior manifests across the spectrum of classes, thereby creating a value-neutral system of explanations....

NOTES: Feast celebrations produce a promise of non-aggression. Temples produce a space of non-aggression (sacred). Religions produce a promise of non-aggression (habits, norms, traditions that prevent conflict and retaliation cycles). Habits of non-aggression produce mindfulness under high population density, the division of labor, and the hierarchy, classes, anonymity, and alienation that results. It is rational for archaeologists to presume that in heterogeneous polities (the intersection of three continents and three races) with a constant supply of external hunter-gatherers (then raiders) and expanding agrarians and their urbanization, that religion would provide the first of the three possible institutions (religion, state, contract(law))....

I think what’s missing is the following causes: (a) The interest rate jews charged (300%) (b) Specializing in tax collection and high-interest debt to pay taxes (c) the profitability of driving people into debt, seizing their assets, and reselling them to cover the debt, and more. (d) Thus the prohibition on Jews owning property, thereby preventing the malincentive of baiting into hazard. (e) and to limit jews to professions to prevent the use of credit available to jews to compete with and undermine the working classes....

RE: DISAMBIGUATION RELIGION: Assertion: Religion requires a false promise of freedom from the four categorical laws of nature i) physical, ii) behavioral iii) evolutionary, and iv) formal laws (logics with which we explain the first three), in exchange for internal (group) non-aggression, producing mindfulness in submission at the cost of non-adaptation. The constant is submission and devotion. And internal cost bearing. TRADITION: Assertion: Tradition requires loyalty demonstration as a means of confirming internal non-aggression, producing mindfulness, in demonstrated responsibility, and tradition varies empirically through time via continuous adaptation....

SAM HARRIS: A religion doesn’t require the supernatural, it requires a false promise (fraud) of freedom from the formal, physical, behavioral, and or evolutionary laws, using the four means of narrative deception: occult-to-theology, sophistry-to-idealism, magic-to-pseudoscience, or ordinary fraud and denial, in exchange for the conduct of social warfare against ‘others’. It’s the cheapest means of warfare available to humans. And it’s (uncomfortably) a derivation of the female means of warfare by undermining (reputation destruction) of dominant males, by the weaponization of female anti-social behavior....
