FOUNDATIONS OF AXIAL AGE RELIGIONS:
Read chapter 1 “The Axial Peoples” from The Great Transformation (2006) by Karen Armstrong.
If you don’t know the foundations – you don’t know anything.
Then you will understand the strong and material european gods and the weak and etherial eastern gods.

Moreover I’ve come to understand that there is a demand for a form of stoicism (cognitive behavioral training and therapy) to produce mindfulness in lieu of homogenous family, society, economy and polity and prayer/church – and that the ‘therapy’ community is harmful:Dark Ages 2.

@StefanMolyneux I have come to understand that like Peterson you are using reason to produce limited personal Agency by means of therapy and education like Buddhists. You are not using reason to produce unlimited personal, social, and political agency,as a means of Transcendence like Stoics.

I oppose making light of the Holocaust.
I oppose arguments for ethnic cleansing.
I oppose support for Nazism, fascism and communism.
I oppose ALL aggression and violence, esp against kids.
I stand for free speech, free will, private property and the non-aggression principle.

You either have to just imitate us, or wait for the book, or take the course, which I’ll only continue releasing classes as they’re ready.
