  • Why Is Organized Christianity Losing Its Appeal Among Young White Americans?

    Westerners were naturalists and empiricists back into prehistory for the simple reason that western civilization’s first organizing principle is the militia and the sovereignty that a militia grants and requires of each individual in it.

    The militia was necessary on the vast european plain for the simple reason that no flood river valleys with centralized organization of irrigation existed as did in the south east, india, and far east, wherein a small force could seek rents upon agrarian production, centralize capital, and create parasitic central governments and empires – first by priests, secondly by warriors, and third by their merger.

    Instead, westerners had horses, cattle, pigs, crops, and good arable land, and production remained distributed – and because of that distribution, lower populations, but higher eugenic evolution (suppression of underclass reproduction.)

    So, possessed of small numbers, but horse, metalsmithing, and the wheel, they compensated for inferior numbers with technology, risk-taking, and maneuver – adaptation to changes.

    And since metal, wheel, and horse were expensive, they were supplied by families (knights were armored by families right up thru and after the crusades – only gunpowder changed the financing. It became cheap to field soldiers.)

    Such a voluntary militia requires sovereignty. The only way differences in sovereignty can be resolved is by reciprocity, and the only possible test of reciprocity is tort.

    In other words, the western common law began and remains empirical. Not authoritarian, and not ideal, and not supernatural. But purely empirical and reciprocal. And it was this first organizing principle that caused the evolution of reason, mathematics, engineering, stoicism, greek and roman law, empiricism, and finally science. Because debate was forever necessary. The growth of commerce only exacerbated and reinforced this behavior.

    The Abrahamic Dark Age of Christianity/Judaism/Islam is over, and western people have returned to their original traditions. The traditions by which they dragged themselves out of the ignorance, superstition, poverty, hard labor, starvation, disease, infant mortality and early death.

    There is nothing good in christianity that was not there before it. And there is nothing bad in christianity that was not put there to undermine the western aristocracy so that the eastern empire could rule a land of the ignorant as had the despots done time immemorial in the fertile crescent.

    In other words: were were always empirical, and we have returned to type.

    The lies of priests no longer fall on illiterate ears.

    OBSERVATIONS AND COMMENTS :

    The literary mind still struggles to find place in modernity. As Weber could foresee all life is increasingly reduced from intuition to calculation.

    Overcoming our cognitive bias:

    1 – “Markets” (competition between opportunities and limits) describe the behavior of the hemispheres.

    2 – We struggle to overcome justificationism (the narrative of moraliy and religion) instead of competition and markets (survival, and the competition between imagination and falsification).

    3 – Justification developed as did grammar: storytelling (describing)

    4 – Cost is missing from morality, philosophy, religion. This is why thinkers in those fields remain backward (late medieval),

    Evolutionary constraints:

    0 – lateralization of the nervous system was necessary for cost reasons.

    1 – consequential specialization was necessary for cost reasons.

    2 – opportunity (right) cost (left) = predators(right) prey (left)

    3 – competition between opportunity generation and constraint (costs, limits).

    “Kuhn etc;”

    1 – a paradigm consist of a network of constant relations. All changes in knowledge consist of reorganizing constant relations in memory, to respond to newly identified constant relations, and pruning and growing new relations. It is our failure to speak in constant relations between states, and our reliance on storytelling (literary analogy) … a problem of literary vocabulary.

    “Unstable Position”:

    1 – Market maximization. people prefer and benefit from operating at the maximum of their capacity to obtain successful reinforcement. This is just an example of neural economics at work.

  • Are Iranians The Original White People?

    No. The original white people are lost to history. Of the indo-european peoples (the caucasian expansion in eurasia), the Iranians (Persians, not Iranians) consist of a southern branch. The eastern branch was outbred into india. The greek aristocracy that migrated south is gone. The west black sea (Bulgarians) remain although are highly outbred with slavs. The Anatolians remain. The Turkics left (to north china) and returned (were kicked out). The others in asia have largely been lost. The semitic peoples are a blend of african-horn and southern arabian peninsula, and west eurasian peoples. (If I recall correctly). The people of north africa have been lost to the arab invasions. The eastern edge of the mediterranean has been a crossroads, and that is partly why it has always been a trade route as well as an area of disproportionate conflict.

    Lesson of history: he who breeds wins. he who advances conquers and is then conquered by those he enabled. because the underclasses breed. This is true always in nature.
