    (definitions)

    —“Would someone please robustly define power distance?”— Micky Callahan

    Power distance refers to the relationship between those in power and the subordinates in a society where lower ranking individuals depending on the high or low power distance culture react to that authority.

    Simple checklist (Doolittle):

    1 – How many layers are between you and political decision makers.

    2 – How many people are competing for their attention?

    3 – How contradictory are the competitors demands to yours?

    4 – How how likely are political decision makers to reflect anyone’s interest other than their own?

  • The Constitution of Religion

    THE CONSTITUTION OF RELIGION (tying it all together)(blow your mind) (core) [R]eligion provides us with personal, social, and political rituals to train us to into mindfulness(tolerance), forgiveness, and cooperation at increasing scales. It serves as the institutionalization of harmony so that We Can Tolerate Anonymity, Lack of Reinforcement, Expansion of Hierarchy, Loss of Agency, in Markets, in The Division of Labor in Exchange for the Dramatic Lowering of Costs From That Division of Labor. If you understand this then you will understand the purpose of religion, where it evolved, and when and why it evolved, and how and why a religion or any given aspect of a religion succeeds or is good, or fails or is bad. Religion trains the intuition, reason trains us in understanding, negotiation and planning, and skills train us in production in that division of sensation, perception, cognition, memory, advocacy, negotiation, and labor. With Religion we scale the hunt. Which in turn consists of the phases of the prey drive. Which is the eternal cycle of our lives. To search, to hunt or gather, to come together, to feast, to celebrate, to reproduce, to rest, to care, to want or need, and to begin again. Religion is a celebration of the cycle of life from the reptilian, mamilial, and human brain. We can never fully leave the animal behind, we can only satisfy it’s needs so that we can be human and take advantage of the returns on the division of labor. DEBT: Where worship means demonstration of appreciation for inheritance: debt. – Nature worship (debt) – Kin and Ancestor worship (debt) – Gods, demigods, heroes and saints worship (debt) CAPITALIZATION: And training in mindfulness: – Action: heroism – achievement – contribution and competition (cost) – Reason: stoicism – self authoring – tolerance and cooperation (cost) – Experience: epicureanism – peace and security (cost) REWARD: And the Ritual of the Feast – building community. – The Gathering, The Fire, The Call (reward) – The Parable, The Oath, the Testimony (reward) – The Sacrifice, The Feast, The Thanks (reward) – The Celebration (festival), The Sport (competition), The Dispersal ( sex, rest, care) (reward) RULES: And there are three sets of laws evident in the structure of the universe whether those laws were made by structural consequence, the design of divinity, or the hand of god. – The laws of nature. (physical limits) – The natural law of Sovereignty and Reciprocity (personal limits), with the christian via positiva law of love improving upon the via negativa natural law. – The evolutionary law of transcendence of man into gods. (political limits) This constitutes the law of religion.

  • Countering Chinese Propaganda

    [I] posed a map of the nine individual countries within the chinese empire, as a comparison to the nine nations of north american empire, and the twenty odd nations of europe in the EU’s attempt at the long standing French project of a european empire. This is a copy of the thread. It’s a back and forth between someone in china and me. My point was to test whether they would ban my account rather than tolerate the truth. it worked. But it’s evidence of how russia and china both use trolls to protect the internal narrative.

    I mean truth-before-face, rule of law, jury and testimony, independent judiciary, science, medicine, industry, and technology you beg, borrow and steal from us. … We did more in 400 years in the ancient world and 400 years in the modern than you did in 3000 – and we had a dark age in between.

    That is communist chinese propaganda. Does that mean your ancestors who kept the secret recipe for porcelain should not have? A thing belongs to those who use strength to maintain their ownership. We don’t use strength – Because we wanted to end your primitive barbarism. We didn’t conquer you because we were Christian. We ended your poverty by letting you steal our technology because we are Christian. We had Christian faith that once you failed at Communism you would no longer be barbarians. We were wrong. You remain barbarians. This means we must eventually war and end your barbarism. You are animals. You are filthy. You make disease and plague. You lie like thieves about everything. You steal everything. You allow children kidnapped, women raped,and people run over by trucks in daylight and do nothing.

    DEBT:

    Where worship means demonstration of appreciation for inheritance: debt.

    – Nature worship (debt)

    – Kin and Ancestor worship (debt)

    – Gods, demigods, heroes and saints worship (debt)

    CAPITALIZATION:

    And training in mindfulness:

    – Action: heroism – achievement – contribution and competition (cost)

    – Reason: stoicism – self authoring – tolerance and cooperation (cost)

    – Experience: epicureanism – peace and security (cost)

    REWARD:

    And the Ritual of the Feast – building community.

    – The Gathering, The Fire, The Call (reward)

    – The Parable, The Oath, the Testimony (reward)

    – The Sacrifice, The Feast, The Thanks (reward)

    – The Celebration (festival), The Sport (competition), The Dispersal ( sex, rest, care) (reward)

    RULES:

    And there are three sets of laws evident in the structure of the universe whether those laws were made by structural consequence, the design of divinity, or the hand of god.

    – The laws of nature. (physical limits)

    – The natural law of Sovereignty and Reciprocity (personal limits), with the christian via positiva law of love improving upon the via negativa natural law.

    – The evolutionary law of transcendence of man into gods. (political limits)

    This constitutes the law of religion.

    BUT I’M NOT CREATING A POPULAR POLITICAL MOVEMENT I’M CREATING A REVOLUTION AND A BODY OF LAW

    (and frankly y’all got nobody else at all other than me with anything to offer.)

    —“Curt: Don’t you realize that what you are trying to do is start a political movement? P must be a political movement if it’s ever going to get off the ground. You can talk all you want about it being the final conclusion to logic and science. You know what? That and $4 will get you a cup from Starbucks. I would personally like to see some P principles in our constitution. But it ain’t gonna happen if you don’t build constituencies. And the number one group that could be in your corner is conservative Christians. But that isn’t going to happen because you are too dogmatic about the folly of Christianity. I am offering you some advice. Delete all negative references to Christianity in your writings. Stop telling Christians they are foolish, failures, weak, arrogant, disobedient and wasting their time believing in the fake man in the sky. You are trying to build a political movement (herd) whether you choose to admit it or not. Who is going to be followers of the P movement? Marxists? Socialists? Antifa? The leftist academic elitists? The deep state? The parasitic democrats dependent on government transfer payments, single mothers, millions of recent immigrants, the AOC & Bernie millennials? No. It’s Euro Americans of which a huge number are Christian. And you’re going to piss them off. You are NOT going to gain any traction by alienating what should be your core constituency. You can be self-righteous in your P dogma and lose. Or you can try to win by forging alliances with those who can help you move forward. Choose wisely.”— Herod Bedford

    Go to my twitter page. What does the pinned tweet say?

    Here. I’m going to post it below for you.

    My response is that instead you stop making excuses for the truth in order to burying your head in the sand using faith as an excuse. You can never have a theocracy. You can only have trifunctionalism, or you can disappear from this earth.

    Truth and Law vs Wisdom and Faith.

    I’m not looking for a majority, any more than were the founders. I’m looking for 1% or less of the population that will fight to restore the constitution and our civilization without pandering to anyone, whether christian, or fascist, or marxist-socialist-postmodernist-feminist, or anything in between – we are made from rule of law and christianity, fascism, liberalism, and leftism are all privileged cults of fantasy that are possible because the few – the very few – were willing to pick up, carry arms, sally forth, and fight to preserve them despite cowards like you.

    Either your civilization and its operating system of law comes first, or you are an enemy of our people. If your faith is before your people, or you are the enemy of our people. if it comes before our law, our people, and our civilization then you are the enemy of your people. Your privilege of faith is due to our civilization, and our law, and the truth within our law that you deny in order to maintain your faith.

    Christian self congratulatory delusions are only possible, as is judaism, because real men fight for the law to have the freedom to provide you with that self indulgence.

    The few strong, reciprocal, and brave, do not need the approval of the many weak, irreciprocal, and cowardly.

    So grow up, man up, shut up, and fight for our law.

    Because the survival of your faith is predicated on it.
