  • Art is perhaps the most effete and elegant path by which to study the evolution

    Art is perhaps the most effete and elegant path by which to study the evolution of man – writers lie like hell because authoring like gossip is cheap. Arts are costly. Architecture especially, and all arts evolve to decorate architecture. (ie: the decline in architecture and art)

    @ubermensch11111 @NISquadron I find education pedantic? Infantile? Like most autodidacts, I prefer self study. Only fine art was deeply interesting. Although I should have gone into the literature or philosophy departments when they asked me. I was too immature to understand what being asked meant.

  • Ownership of the Name Aryan… sigh

    In the scholarly literature aryanism refers to the culture of the indo european expansion from russia-ukraine, using militaristic, expansionist, hierarchical, paternal, sky worshipping, horse riding peoples consisting of the european and iranic branches, resulting in the european, armenian, iranic, indo-iranic peoples. europeans and indians want to appropriate this name exclusively, but as far as I know all of use evolved from the two or three different subraces that adopted this culture.

  • The Deal with The Devil – False Mindfulness

    “[T]he Smith and the Devil” may be one of the oldest European folk tales, with the basic plot stable throughout the Indo-European speaking world from India to Scandinavia, possibly being first told in Indo-European 6,000 years ago in the Bronze Age. A blacksmith strikes a deal with a malevolent supernatural being, such as the Devil, Death or a genie. The blacksmith exchanges his soul for the power to weld any materials together. He then uses this power to stick the devil to an immovable object, such as a tree, to renege on his side of the bargain. In Faust, the protagonist is highly successful yet dissatisfied with his life, which leads him to make a pact with the Devil at a crossroads, exchanging his soul for unlimited knowledge and worldly pleasures. Faust is irrevocably damned One may not have mindfulness by making a bargain with a devil in god’s dress. This basic plot is stable throughout the Indo-European speaking world, from India to Scandinavia, according to the research. The study said this tale could be traced back to the Proto-Indo-European society when metallurgy likely existed and there was archaeological and genetic evidence of massive territorial expansions by nomadic tribes from the Pontic steppe (the northern shores of the Black Sea) between 5,000 and 6,000 years ago.

  • European and East Asian Gods vs Desert Gods

    [E]uropean titans or giants ( the distant unknown past), gods(immortals with powers) demigods(mortal with powers) and heroes(mortal with exceptional talents) are unlike semitic and iranic gods (omniscient and omnipotent) they are more akin to ancestor spirits. To declare one’s self a god was to personify the state, and demand loyalty to the people, the state, and the emperor, as one did the gods. Sacrifice was a demonstration of loyalty just as immaterial prayer, belief in a falsehood, ritual, is a cost as a demonstration of loyalty)

  • Religion Without Lies Is Possible:

    [T]he alternative to religion of lies, is european, history, stoicism (mindfulness), epicureanism (living within your means), ancestor worship (recognition of debts of intergenerational transfer), the play (tragedy), sport(hunt) and festival (feast). No more lies. My exploration of paganism is reducible to the ethnocentric advantage of ancestor worship, the raising of ancestors to archetypes, and the market adaptability of the pantheon of archetypes without the need for altering the group strategy or narrative. In other words, it facilitates the natural hierarchy of abilities, and it eliminates the need for lying that produces anchoring. Like many things our greco roman ancestors had most of the institutions correct – they overextended into civilizational diversity and encountered anceitn primitive people bent on lying.
