WHY DO WE NEED RELIGION: ALONENESS: MINDFULNESS. As far as I know, aloneness, or what marx called disenfranchisement, or what I call distance from the pack, is where religion fills the hole in us. that’s level one: eliminating aloneness thru mindfulness. level two is a common mythos (strategy). level three is festival, holiday, ritual. (equality) reinforcing strategy. level four is norm and law. (limits.) We need these things. But of them the one thing that defeats aloneness is what we loosely categorize as religion, but is better described as mindfulness. Mindfulness is necessary because of consciousness.

Complaint is the Language of Imbeciles
COMPLAINT IS THE LANGUAGE OF IMBECILES Anyone can complain. Anyone can criticize. How many people can explain the incentives that cause people to act in a way that they do, that you disagree with? Complaints about people. Complaints about events. complaints about society, complaints about civilization. complaints about man. Complaints are merely statements of incompetence. Competence is demonstrated by an explanation of the incentives that produce behaviors, and the institutional methods by which counter-incentives can be created that will produce preferred behaviors. And high competence is demonstrated by explanation of a possible method of doing so.

( this is not to say rothbard knew what he was doing any more than women know what they are doing – it’s just experience, intuition, culture, and genetics. But it’s still an evil attack on western civilization whether intentional or not.)
