    Christianity was the ‘Maxist-to-Woke’ revolution of the ancient world, and spread like the arab spring.

    “Christianity was the reason for much political unrest that was happening all over the Empire, so it comes as no surprise that many people believe it to be the one sole reason for the fall.”

    “Augustine uses the argument that Christianity lead to the downfall of Rome. The book describes why Christianity lead to the downfall of Rome and also what Christianity could have helped with Roman beliefs.”

    “Edward Gibbon, who wrote in the late 18th century CE, points to the rise of Christianity and its effect on the Roman psyche” ie: ‘demoralization’

    “It was only after women had created a movement with the Christian religion that men took control of if it and implemented the church and its formal institutions.”

    See:
    1. Band of Angels by Cooper
    2. When Women were Priests by Torjessen
    3. Reconstructing the Rise of Christianity: The Role of Women by Stark : https://t.co/u37p8WjDX3
    4. The Darkening Age by Nixey

    Note that the books are by women, so I’m giving the optimistic version here.

  • The terms “magic” and “sorcery” are often used interchangeably in popular cultur

    The terms “magic” and “sorcery” are often used interchangeably in popular culture, but they can have distinct meanings depending on the context, especially in historical and anthropological contexts.

    European Techne
    Magic: This is a broad term that generally refers to supernatural powers or forces that can alter reality in some way. It can encompass a wide range of practices and beliefs, including spells, charms, divination, and more. Magic is often seen as neutral and can be used for either good or bad purposes, depending on the intent of the practitioner.
    The Europeans were metalsmiths so european ‘magic’ is closer to transformation (chemistry, actions)

    Middle Eastern Occultism
    Sorcery: refers to the use of supernatural powers for manipulating forces or entities for a specific purpose, often personal gain. In many cultures and belief systems, sorcery has a negative connotation and is associated with malicious intent or the use of magic to harm others.
    The middle east invented occultism as we understand it, so their version of magic is closer to summoning(words, curses)

    PREDICT THE FUTURE?
    Hmm… just beginning to see the post 2030 world resolve a bit. So at this early date I can only see causal influences not how they might play out. I can work on this project in the background and see what I come up with over the next month or so.
    Some Thoughts
    – Start with the zero transaction cost of knowledge, and continuous lifelong custom education suited to your individual learning style.
    – The transaction cost of knowledge and the convertability of that knowledge to a frame you comprehend within the limits of your abilities will disappear and it’s the greatest cost – especially of attention and will. So, the increase in knowledge under the printing press, mass literacy, education, television, the internet, will merely increase again.
    – However, *knowledge will converge toward the non-false* while ideology or strategy will diverge toward the civilization group class and individual using that knowledge. Knowledge convergence does not me absence of interest divergence. What we see today will amplify increasingly to ‘tribes’ of various biases, interests, and identities.
    – Convergence is happening. Prior to my work were only around 1500 general principles that we know of (see Adler). In my work we have discovered that there is only evolutionary computation and ternary logic of doing so, resulting in the trifunctional logic of behavior. This means that understanding of the world at human scale is reducible to an absurdly short list of first principles,.
    – The vector is the relationship between demographic composition, economics, group strategy, and the conflict of civilizations (races) that results – that only natural law will solve, but would require the asymmetric races practice soft eugenics – which I have a hard time seeing happen.

    I should write more bullet points on the field of possibilities.

  • RACIAL REALITIES Skin color will only not matter when skin color no longer matte

    RACIAL REALITIES
    Skin color will only not matter when skin color no longer matters. Skin color will no longer matter when race and ethnic differences no longer matter. We will only get to when race and ethnic differences no longer matter when kin preference no longer matters or exists. We will only get to a place where kin preference no longer matters when we are no longer marginally different in group properties affinities and utility. We will only get to the the place where group properties affinities and utility are no longer marginally different when we groups are marginally indiffierent in evolutionary neoteny, resulting domesticatin syndrome, in resulting rate and depth of maturity, and as such mirror one another’s personality and IQ distributions. That will only occur if we are all indistinguishably an admixture of white and east asian, with south eurasian (MENA+Central Asia+India) and african gene pools have been diluted out of gene expression.

    Otherwise racially netural behavior except in cooperation between the upper classes is irrational and disadvantageous and devolutionary both politically and genetically. Interpersonal racisim is irrational (stupid really). But so is political anti-racism. Because we are always and everywhere dependent upon the ingroup because that is the greatest discount on cooperation. We can be anti-racist in markets. We can be anti-racist in personal interactions. We cannot be anti-racist in politics. And we never will be. Ever. And it’s a supernatural religous fraud to claim so.

    There is no difference between this law of the universe and any other. If you don’t believe so you don’t grasp the first principle of the universe, and it’s expression at the physical, biological, social, and individual levels as the defeat of entropy by evolutionary computation of the greatest capture and transfer of entropy into order, and that order among humans is dependent upon neotenic evolution, which produces agency over impulse, and that the four generations (races, species) of man, are incremental leaps in neotenic evolution. Period. End of story.

    Love one another. But do not lie to one another. DIversity is exceptional in creating markets between polities. But polities are as important as households, and the left is trying to destroy both just as the abrahamic religions tried to destroy politics, reason, and empiricism, and the western tradition of truth-before-face.

    This is obviously the case in europe for the simple reason that a variety of institutions suppressed lower class reproduction but economic constraints (farming) limited middle class expression. So we should (and we do) see a ‘reserve’ of the genetic middle and upper middle classes in the european gene pool at least above the hajnal line, that could rise in economic condition as economic constraints were reduced by the sequence of literacy, agrarian, commercial, financial, revolutions.
    The USA benefitted heavily from german migration for this reason if no other.
