    —“Are there any books you would recommend on the early history of European peoples? I read a post of yours recently and realized There were several references I didn’t pick up. Specifically when you reference things about “indo-Europeans”, etc. Thanks. Interested in learning more about what informs your perspective on Christianity and it’s triumph over Olympian religion. You seem to view it as a net negative. Do you have any recommendations for other groups on FB having the types of discussions you are having?”— A Friend

    ANSWERS There is nowhere to learn more, better, faster, than following daily here. It is the lowest cost education you can get, in the education you want and need. My reading list is on the website under the Propertarianism menu heading. All of it is available for free in our digital library. The IE history is simple. Although I would recommend chapter one of Armstrong’s “Transformation” so you learn about the differences in the emergence of different religious traditions. Religion is the ‘hard problem’ because our religion is communicated with the Abrahamic Technique. And there is no easy way of reforming that religion without gradual supplement with what used to be stoicism-empiricism and natural law, and letting nature take it’s course. The only reason I’m interested in our IE religions is because they’re ethnocentric, and christianity is not. I view abrahamic deceit, submission, and universalism as antithetical to our civilization. You can ask the other leadership for advice. I’m a little overwhelmed with biz, video, and writing at the moment.

  • Maria’s Colorful Explanation of Current Condition

    —“Most civilizations, cultures, states, tolerate polygamy. The problem is, women are freaking expensive. And unless you’re desperately poor and need women to share the farm labor, are short of men because of war, men can’t afford them, and educated women won’t tolerate it.)”—Eric Danelaw

    I think you are right that before the sexual revolution + modern dating apps, women were expensive. Now they are cheap to [CD: some] men they perceive higher value (looks +game) and unavailable to the rest. Women sense executive traits like disagreeableness in a male executive that Pickup artists mimic. This is before anyone becomes a Thot. Thots go for outright aggressive men. Thots are a female tiger woods – a set of maladaptive behaviour in the PreTinder era only seen in sex workers and male professional athletes. With current technology x no prohibitions on sexual promiscuity there is no cost for the most virile disagreeable men maintaining big harems while contributing little to society, while men who would actually make a good father who are reasonably in shape but no 6 pack, loyal, faithful, great income, not a doormat but not a jerk like me … they get none. And I am not anti social and do not denigrate people without cause. At this point thots look at fitness x how anti social a male is, and the top 10% of that gets laid at the cost of a drink or a slice of pizza and a gym membership and the rest get nothing. And it has a real impact on policies. In short, we are experiencing a historically unprecedented dysgenic distortion of the sexual marketplace whereby contraception, modern technologies like tinder, a hook up culture promoted by (((Hollywood))), radical feminism all lower women’s sexual marketplace value to a couple drinks+ gym membership at 20, a couple slices of Pizza + gym membership at 25. At at 30, she would be lucky for a slice of pizza. At 40 her value is 0. I do not think women had such low cost in any society in any time in history because condoms, the pill and Tinder were not invented yet. Finally Haidt brings a valid point about decay, that any dysgenic or degenerate individualist behaviours might not harm the commons in the first generation, a mild negative impact on some in the second, but have a brutal devastating impact on the commons in the third. I think in images so translating it into text is difficult and wordy, but through P I hope to be able to be more articulate and concise in my wording to better express the image and pattern I see without wasting time. So thank you for bearing with me as I learn the language and grammar. In my generation, the sexual marketplace is a distorted hellscape that only benefits Weinsteins and Epstein’s

  • The Eggja stone

    (The Story Behind Heilung’s song Krigsgaldr) ‘”The Eggja stone was found with the written side downwards over a man’s grave (cf. the Kylver stone) which is dated to the period 650-700 C.E. The flat slab of stone is nowadays in Bergen Museum. Having as many as 200 runes, it is the longest known inscription in the Elder Futhark, but certain runes are transitional towards the Younger Futhark. Many scholarly works have been written about the inscription, but only minor parts of the partially preserved inscription have received an accepted translation. It is generally agreed that it is written in stylized poetry and in a partly metrical form containing a protection for the grave and the description of a funerary rite. The stone is stained with blood (kenned as “corpse-sea”); perhaps as part of a sacrifice to facilitate the passage of the deceased, or call on whatever power the inscription is addressed to. The heráss is the “god of armies” – a psychopomp god which comes to the land of the living (godly ones) to take the deceased to an afterlife. Most likely the shapeshifting, shamanic [Aesir] Odin is meant. According to this interpretation, A1 is a description of a shipwreck in bad weather. The mast seems to have broken, and the oars could not save them, as a mythical creature, *Vil (possibly the sea-god Aegir, or simply divine will,) casts a wave upon the boat. Parts A2, A3 and B explains the fate of the deceased. As A2 asks how they will get to the land beyond, A3 replies that a divine creature in the shape of a fish will lead them to the land of shining meadows. Part B prays that the work of the one writing this will help. Firney is probably not a place name, but possibly Fear-island or Far-island, and a kenning for the realm of the dead. Part C1 says that the inscription was done at night, and not by using steel. This probably pertains to ancient grave-rituals, but the exact meaning is unclear. C2 issues warning directed at necromancers and mad (or mentally ill) people to prevent them from desecrate the grave.”‘ “The Eggja stone was found with the written side downwards over a man’s grave (cf. the Kylver stone) which is dated to the period 650-700 C.E.
