    By Don Miguel (Must read)

    You are correct about how fundamental Homer’s work was to the classical worldview. If you read the Platonic dialogue “Ion”, it is clear that the Greeks say Homer as a conduit of divine scripture.

    My only criticism is that in my view the parallels between the Biblical and Homeric metanarratives are many, strong, adn far more important than the differences. Some of these similarities are discussed in my below-linked blog post.

    The main difference is that in the Bible, God promises to give the protagonists possession over the land of the antagonists 500 years earlier for no apparent reason and the antagonists are not characters in the drama other than as “the bad guys”.

    In the Illiad, both sides are seen as good and heroic in their own way and the war is just a by-product of an ultimately meaningless conflict among the gods.

    In my view, this is the main difference between them. Which of these two are more relevant to our current situation? I think it’s the former, since our enemies have no real claim to equality with us; our conflict with them is not just a misunderstanding or bad luck as it is in the Illiad. Most the Norse myths also lack a villian who is wholly “other”- for example Loki cannot even tell a lie when he is trapped by Thyrm. The giants are just the impersonal forces of nature or chaos. In the Mahabharata, the Pandavas and the Kauravas are both relatives and both end up meeting in heaven.

    The Canaanites, Philistines, Judas and the Synagogue of Satan are not noble like Priam and Hector. That is the main difference between them in my view. Our struggle at this late point in history is for higher stakes. We are no longer at the level of “may the best man win”.

    Ethnocentrism is the optimum group evolutionary strategy however it is in competition with the need for scale, hence the continuous conflict and decline in the tribal middle east, while slow evolution in india, faster in china, and fastest in europe. Only one civilization failed.

    @DegenRolf One could see how this paradoxically makes us more tolerant AND more ethnocentric at the same time. Obedience to the religion creates homogeneity in the Gene’s while the close quarters makes us tolerant of having our territory invaded. It’s a total paradox that leads us to

    Robin Dunbar argues that religion evolved to allow humans to live together in previously unknown large-scale communities without killing each other. https://t.co/gyUNYBdBxr https://t.co/lWSgDVdT1Q

    “The Curley Effect: The Economics of Shaping the Electorate” shows how the Irish Democrat’s targeted and purged the English that had founded and built New England. A classic case for propertarians to study. It is the pattern for our dispossession by low agency left wing immigrants.

    (The Irish started it. The Italians just made it far worse. the eastern european Jews far far worse. And from then on it’s been a rapid decline. And new England is a wasteland other than Boston’s(Cambridge’s) top universities, and NY’s financial sector. )

    The vast majority of literature in the ancient world was commentary on the Iliad just as the vast majority of literature in the medieval world was on the bible. In fact, the fragments of the library at Alexandria – regardless of how that library was physically constructed – were mostly commentary on the Iliad. (The trials of Achilles)

    OUR RIGHT TO RELIGION

    I demand the right to personally and collectively pay debts to and gain wisdom from, the entire host of my people’s gods, demigods, and heroes from our foundation forward. To transfer that debt and wisdom between generations, and to defend commons constructed by that debt and wisdom from dilution, diminution, competition, and harm.

    —“So, you would consider Christianity a desert cult?”—Dan Ver Woert

    I don’t do name calling, but I would consider the advice of Jesus to be a philosophy that is, at least by present scientific standards, the optimum for man. I would say that as I’ve secularized it, it’s just a statement of social science. I would say that the supernatural elements are nonsense, and that the pilpul and critique with which it was promoted, are a human cancer, but if jesus had been added to the pantheon rather than a monopoly we would have had contributed to the janus-face of man. Instead christianity was used and is used to keep man ignorant by undermining the only ‘true’ religion “debt to ancestors nature in the continuous evolution(transcendence) of man”.
