    THE TIAN: THE OLD WAYS

    (try to imagine our people’s past)

    The first story begins with Ailill and Medb assembling their army in Cruachan, the purpose of this military build-up taken for granted. The second story adds a prologue in which Ailill and Medb compare their respective wealths and find that the only thing that distinguishes them is Ailill’s possession of the phenomenally fertile bull Finnbhennach, who had been born into Medb’s herd but scorned being owned by a woman so decided to transfer himself to Ailill’s. Medb determines to get the equally potent Donn Cuailnge from Cooley to equal her wealth with her husband. She successfully negotiates with the bull’s owner, Dáire mac Fiachna, to rent the animal for a year until her messengers, drunk, reveal that they would have taken the bull by force even if they had not been allowed to borrow it. The deal breaks down, and Medb raises an army, including Ulster exiles led by Fergus mac Róich and other allies, and sets out to capture Donn Cuailnge.

    The men of Ulster are disabled by an apparent illness, the ces noínden (literally “debility of nine (days)”, although it lasts several months). A separate tale explains this as the curse of the goddess Macha, who imposed it after being forced by the king of Ulster to race against a chariot while heavily pregnant.[3] The only person fit to defend Ulster is seventeen-year-old Cú Chulainn, and he lets the army take Ulster by surprise because he’s off on a tryst when he should be watching the border. Cú Chulainn, assisted by his charioteer Láeg, wages a guerrilla campaign against the advancing army, then halts it by invoking the right of single combat at fords, defeating champion after champion in a stand-off lasting months. However, he is unable to prevent Medb from capturing the bull.

    Cú Chulainn is both helped and hindered by supernatural figures. Before one combat the Morrígan visits him in the form of a beautiful young woman and offers him her love, but he spurns her. She then reveals herself and threatens to interfere in his next fight. She does so, first in the form of an eel who trips him in the ford, then as a wolf who stampedes cattle across the ford, and finally as a heifer at the head of the stampede, but in each form Cú Chulainn wounds her. After he defeats his opponent, the Morrígan appears to him in the form of an old woman milking a cow, with wounds corresponding to the ones Cú Chulainn gave her in her animal forms. She offers him three drinks of milk. With each drink he blesses her, and the blessings heal her wounds.

    After a particularly arduous combat he is visited by another supernatural figure, Lugh, who reveals himself to be Cú Chulainn’s father. Lugh puts Cú Chulainn to sleep for three days while he works his healing arts on him. While Cú Chulainn sleeps the youth corps of Ulster come to his aid but are all slaughtered. When Cú Chulainn wakes he undergoes a spectacular ríastrad or “distortion”, in which his body twists in its skin and he becomes an unrecognisable monster who knows neither friend nor foe. He makes a bloody assault on the Connacht camp and avenges the youth corps sixfold.

    After this extraordinary incident, the sequence of single combats resumes, although on several occasions Medb breaks the agreement by sending several men against him at once. When Fergus, his foster-father, is sent to fight him, Cú Chulainn agrees to yield to him on the condition that Fergus yields the next time they meet. Finally there is a physically and emotionally gruelling three-day duel between the hero and his foster-brother and best friend, Ferdiad. Cú Chulainn wins, killing Ferdiad with the legendary spear, the Gáe Bolga.

    Eventually the debilitated Ulstermen start to rouse, one by one at first, then en masse, and the final battle begins. To begin with Cú Chulainn sits it out, recovering from his wounds. Fergus has Conchobar at his mercy, but is prevented from killing him by Cormac Cond Longas, Conchobar’s son and Fergus’ foster-son, and in his rage cuts the tops off three hills with his sword. Finally, Cú Chulainn enters the fray and confronts Fergus, who makes good on his promise and yields to him, pulling his forces off the field. Connacht’s other allies panic and Medb is forced to retreat. She does, however, manage to bring Donn Cuailnge back to Connacht, where the bull fights Finnbhennach, kills him, but is mortally wounded, and wanders around Ireland creating placenames before finally returning home to die of exhaustion.

    The image of Cú Chulainn dying, tied to a post so that even in death he might face his enemies standing, a pose which was adopted by early 20th-century Irish republicans[4] does not come from the Táin but from a later story. However it has been incorporated into some oral versions of the Táin, in which Cú Chulainn, like Donn Cuailnge, dies from wounds sustained during his final duel with Ferdiad.

  • What Makes Christianity Jewish, Not European?

    (very important ideas) What makes Christianity Jewish is the method of presentation (fictional history), the adaptation rather than homeric repetition (justification), the method of argument: pilpul(sophism), the demand for exclusivity (monotheism), the demand for submission(slave morality), the demand for obedience (law vs wisdom) rather than respect and tolerance, the demand for expansion (domination), divisiveness and demonization (poly-ethicalism – although christian is less so than judaism or islam), the primacy of priests and conformity(positive) rather than law and conflict resolution (negative), the maladaptivity (devolution) rather than adaptivity (markets), the genetics (dysgenic rather than eugenic), and the spreading of ‘sources of ignorance’ rather than knowledge and innovation. The fact that it has been called an opiate of masses is simply a medical truism, since that’s precisely what it does (literally). The fact that people spoke and wrote in greek, in greek-conquered lands, does not make them greek. What makes on the member of a group evolutionary strategy is their method of cooperation toward a given end. In the case of western vs semitic, it’s Truth, Correspondence, Heroism, Agency, Innovation, and Rule of Empirical Law, vs Lying, Non-Correspondence, Slavery, the absence of Agency, Stagnation and the Rule by Fictional Law. The historical problem facing aristocratic and masculine western man in curing himself of the underclass and effeminate infection of abrahamic sophism, is that empirical law, commerce, and science is simply practiced while literature is debated. Once you understand this, the parallel between judaism and marxism, and christianity and postmodernism is obvious: jewish pseudoscience and law that is non-correspondent, and christian literature and rationalism that is allegorical and non correspondent. They attempt to achieve by overloading reason, with framing obscurantism and suggestion, an appeal to intuition of the interpersonal experience, rather than informing us as to the limits of personal perception and experience and the use of measurements both physical and logical to extend it. The Abrahamisms are Sophisms by analogy, not Measurements by description. Western man measures the empirical to understand and defeat reality. Semitic man fictionalizes to ignore, and circumvent reality. Abrahamic fictionalism is the very opposite of Western Description. They tell fictions. We report on events.

    THE VIRTUE OF HISTORY POLY-HEROISM AS CIVIC RELIGION

    (important ideas)

    The problem in producing a positive religion is providing a sufficient portfolio of virtues that people can select from and use to respond to differing circumstances.

    It’s the same with political orders. everyone wants to mandate an optimum when the romans know a long time ago that you give shit away when you’re prosperous, you run a market order most of the time, and you run a fascist generalship in times of war, with the only constant being rule of law (reciprocity) as the point of equilibrium between the two extremes.

    Hence my argument for real or semi-real historical figures, and enough of them so that we can call upon their example no matter what the conditions.

    The only reason not to is authoritarianism and as far as I know all religious people are closet authoritarians, whether they want to lead or follow, just as they care closet regressives by seeking static rules regardless of whether they do so for discounts on mental labor, or discounts on the work to compromise with those having different ends, or they want to rally people to their chosen reproductive strategy despite the fact it’s not in the interest of others to do so.

    Economic analysis explains everything and no matter what you do religious people lose. In fact, it’s pretty easy to argue that organized religion is the worse thing to happen to humanity in history.

    I mean, we already now that the source of all monotheistic religions was the failure of the indo-iranians to compete with the europeans, and therefore they spread west to escape them, but took the technology with them while inverting the aryan religion from one of defeating nature to one submissive to it.

    it’s very hard to tell people that their desire for predictability is suicidal and that it’s only trustworthiness despite unpredictability that produces goods. It’s very hard to tell people who are dedicated to fictionalisms in which they find comforts that they are destructive to humanity and the most regressive people living. But it’s simply a fact.

    I didn’t expect to end up here but then I have more intellectual honesty and moral courage than most people, and am more willing to be wrong than most people for reasons that were nothing to do with my own choice.

    Truth is truth. It is very hard to face it.
