  • absolute monogamy, deism, and rational thinking disappeared within three generations

    Dec 5, 2019, 9:39 PM Why Sexual Morality May be Far More Important than You Ever Thought — Quest kirkdurston.com “Unwin found that when strict prenuptial chastity was abandoned, absolute monogamy, deism, and rational thinking disappeared within three generations of the change in sexual freedom.” – Look around, how much rational thought do you see? We’ve been literally screwing our brains out. This looks like yet another inversion. If you look at this type of restraint as being top down and imposed (because that is your frame of reference) this “morality” looks prudish and authoritarian. But if it developed over time as what works best to sustain the most fitness for the greatest number of a group within a specific environment than this restraint is not the start point, being pushed on everyone for the purposes of control, but the end point being reinforced by norms for the survival of the group itself. Mistaking where we stand for the start point (or being convinced that this is the case by those wishing to exploit you) simply because we stand there may not be the most accurate frame to view anything from.

  • Correcting History: Sacrifice in Europe

    Dec 6, 2019, 8:53 AM There is some debate over whether it happened at all. However, presuming that it did: 1) Horses and Dogs were ‘valuable’ and the most common victims of sacrifice. 2) defective peoples (dwarves etc) were often killed and buried but no evidence of sacrifice. Same for most burials, where the victims of war and murder were buried.) 3) capital punishment was forbidden (restitution mandated) except for cowardice and adultery. So, the way they got rid of criminals was to sacrifice them. This limits retaliation cycles among high trust peoples. The criminal gets a ‘good’ exit, and the criminal’s family has no reason for retaliation cycles. 4) It’s hypothesized that because lindow man for example was sacrificed ritually, he wasn’t a criminal. We don’t know that. My read is that sacrifice of non-criminal ingroup didn’t exist. But I’ll wait for the archeological evidence. 5) Stone circles begin in northwest France and spread to England. England had a copper industry second to none and it was a primary export. And England appears to have been more advanced than the rest of northern Europe for a very long time. And we get most of our information from that region.

  • Ancestors of all People are criminal and immoral by our present standard

    Just as the Byzantines and Turks of the middle east used higher trust European military mercenaries, European kings used lower trust Jews as tax and credit mercenaries. In most of Europe Jews were the property of the monarchy and under its protection. Ancestors of all People are criminal and immoral by our present standard, but it is their labor though the suppression of criminality and its replacement with trade industry and technology that made our present privilege possible. Read Benjamin Goldberg for Jews allying with the state against the people. Read Solzhenitsyn for Jewish specialization in crimes of baiting into hazard: alcohol, prostitution, gambling on credit, and loans at usurious prices so that land could be seized and resold – and refusal to engage in ‘honest’ work despite regard crown grants of land.
