—“Do not try to seem wise to others. If you want to live a wise life, live it on your own terms and in your own eyes. “—Epictetus.
This advice is helpful but obscures the underlying strategy of every single religion: do not fight for status signals unless you have the mental, emotional, physical ability, allies, and resources to obtain victory in the fight for upper middle, or upper class status. Never fight the war of all-against-all we call status competition unless you have little chance of failure. It generates few winners and everyone else loses. The same for rule of law vs the false dichotomy of capitalism and socialism both of which create wars of all against all. Every religion attempts to achieve mindfulness – escape from signal competition differently, and all do so destructively. Some philosophies seek to provide mindfulness with Agency: Truth in the form of math, science, economics, and rule of law. But Agency again is for those with mental, emotional, physical, familial, social, economic, political or military ability and resources. Some Philosophies seek to achieve mindfulness by limiting agency to one’s abilities: The stoic method of self authoring, and epicurean thought. Some pseudoscientific philosophies like Buddhism seek to achieve mindfulness by forgoing agency in the world, and instead developing it in yourself – to tolerate the status competition and all other difficulties in the world. Most supernatural philosophies – those we rightly call religion – seek to achieve mindfulness by denying status competition, producing an imaginary equality instead of an existential status competition, pretense of oppression rather than incompetence, or promising a future world. So whether High Agency Truth, Limited Agency Self Improvement, Lower Agency Self Discipline, or lowest Agency Self Sedation with falsehood, we seek the means of mindfulness that suits our agency – ability and resources in the soft competition between superpredators: cooperation. There is only one ‘bad’ method of mindfulness, and that is supernatural religion – that while cheap to indoctrinate, produces the horrors upon the world of judaism, christianity and islam – the enemies of mankind. While Science (Masculine), Epicuriean (neutral) and Buddhist (feminine), Chinese and Japanese and Pre-Christian Ritual and Ancestor Worship, are all constructive. While only europeans could invent truth, and arguably only the the pre-communist Chinese produced wisdom, the indians have produced harmony by means I have barely come to understand – largely because their massive continent, like australia or england is effectively an island. We can teach mindfulness in the stoic method, with epicurean goals as the majority means of training the human mind to focus on the actionable. We can teach science in the european (english) method, with transcendence of man by the production of agency as a goal, and leave open the possibility for all to use it as they see fit. We can teach intertemporal debt transfer between the generations by ancestor worship, nature worship, and hero worship, and we can celebrate nature, ancestors, and heroes together as polities, tribes, nations, races (Species) and Mankind. But we must end the semitic dark age of sedation by ignorance and deceit, that has not only brought us the current conflict, but the semitic dark ages, and the 1B premodern deaths, and the 100M current deaths. This cannot be achieved without institutional means of gradually reforming christianity as we have gradually reformed it for over a thousand years, and by outlawing all other supernatural religions, and confining semitic religion to Semitia until it has exhausted itself because of lack of prey to consume by deceit, ignorance, dysgenia and destruction. This is antithetical to the christians who are still under the addiction of the falsehoods of semitic abrahamic deceit. My job is law. And truth under the law. And these are statement so truth. And truth s only necessary because we desire what is false, despite the vast returns on truth. The truth like perfection cannot always be achieved. But the truth can reverse harms and prevent further harms. I am a man of agency. I seek mindfulness in Truth. Truth regardless of cost to me. And that is the secret to western civilization – and our dragging mankind out of ignorance, superstition, hard labor, poverty, starvation, suffering, disease, heat, cold, and the chaos of a nature void of gods, and all but hostile to life.

Advice to Aspies(masculine Minds) Wanting to Expand Social Circles: Treat People Like Sunshine https://propertarianism.com/2020/05/27/advice-to-aspiesmasculine-minds-wanting-to-expand-social-circles-treat-people-like-sunshine/

Oct 11, 2019, 10:30 AM (or “Advice to Aspies on how to go through life without continually failing the Turing test.” – Shannon Constantine ) There aren’t enough of ‘us’ to build a society. We are outliers. Society is built for ‘them’. They feel more than we do. They sense more than we do. They trade confirmation because they are not as sure of what they think as we are. And like anything in life, a trade must be done on the customer’s terms. So sell what they’re buying, not what you want to sell. So, I just shut my brain off, smile, and feel human presence like sunshine, not feel I need to contribute other than to confirm or compliment. I practiced ‘feeling’ others not ‘thinking’ them. Its sort of like being still so you can listen to a soft sound. We tend to listen to problems. Try not to respond to the problem but to the experience in relation to the problem, mirror his or her feelings and confirm them. I practice four disciplines. 1. I only disagree if a person will come to harm – not because the situation can be solved better. 2. I only give advice or ‘explain’ if I ask if they want it, or if they ask for it. “I have a thought on that if you want to hear it sometime”. 3. I only explain incentives, not what someone with lower agreeableness (us) would to correct the people involved. People don’t have our masculine absence of demand for agreeableness. 4. I confirm their emotions as rational for them in the circumstance. This produces trust. We operate on truth and falsehood rather than approval or disapproval, and rather than inclusion or exclusion. This is our ‘gift’. And it is a tool we can help them use. But they operate by inclusion and exclusion, and approval and disapproval, not by truth and falsehood. Once you have developed trust – sensitivity to their ned for approval and inclusion – which takes quite a bit of time, they might ask you for explanations. But don’t volunteer them. Over time, they will ask questions in such a way that they will cue you that they’re asking. Work to find fulfillment from the experience of people, not the conversation. Then the conversation will come – on their terms. I became happy when I said: how can I make everyone I meet feel comfortable, or complimented, or helped in some way no matter how small. We don’t realize that when we talk to them we are taking not giving. Give and you will receive so to speak.

“The reason people are engaging in some form of lying is almost always cowardice.”- Curt Doolittle
Leftists are scared s***less of the consequences of “everyone is not equal in ability” (facing the brutality of life without a salve of lies to give false hope of a future utopia)
Ancaps/libertarians are often heavily invested in their ideas of course, and can often be afraid of the idea that “if you don’t contribute to the commons you will not stop parasites and in fact you are a parasite upon the commons in which others invest”. (We are pointing out that they have a responsibility they didn’t think they had.)
Some/many civnats (not all – some learn very fast) are scared of the personal cost they could face in our current society for talking about inherent group racial differences (group patterns)
Some/many Christians (not all) are scared of criticism of, or losing, something they value – a belief system that provides a salve against the brutality of reality via a future hope that “everything will be made right one day”, an alternate status hierarchy (“if I pray and do good God will reward me someday and I will be higher status than people who have a lot of money or power”), and a genuine group or team where they feel safe and accepted without having to do much other than express belief in the supernatural and not be a bother (the requirement to submit to dogma rather than operate by falsification is not healthy, but “a place to belong” where you trust those around you is a great thing). Especially because they often view “being a Christian” as their primary identity, they often have a strong negative reaction to any criticism of Christianity.
These people are just “being human”. But we’re not gonna lie just to make them feel better. The left is our enemy, plain & simple. Ancaps/lolberts are learning fast as enemies flow through our open borders & as it becomes more and more obvious that there is a critical mass of humanity that cannot be persuaded/taught not to be parasites but must be stopped by force, which requires commons. The civnats are learning as the pain of losing & fear of the left’s craziness (which will escalate & escalate til at latest after TX goes blue) overpowers their fear of being too politically incorrect. The Christians as a group have no solution, no constitution, no insight to take the Right from losing to winning, the vast majority of their leaders/pastors/priests do not speak the truth on race & may never do so, but there is a brand of Christian political leader (James Fox Higgins, Daryl Kane) starting to fill the market for non-cucked Christian political speakers/leaders. (The Christian people themselves are faster and more willing to escape cuckiness than their leaders, just as with the Right as a whole.) As I often say, the grassroots Right is virtually 100% united on what we want TO STOP (via-negativa). The civnats just don’t realize it takes race realism to do it, and the right-wing Christians just have a hard time when the tendency of Christianity to be used as a tool of cuckiness both in history and now is pointed out. But both these groups in practicality want to STOP the same dysgenic/leftist/parasitic behaviours/outcomes that the rest of the grassroots Right wants to stop. Thus, we CAN agree on a constitution that primarily is about what our enemies CANNOT/MUST NOT do.
