    PLS NOTE: I use this argument: that names (language) are systems of measurement (comparison), and that without the system of measurement we are far less likely to disambiguate boundaries and surfaces, from objects and USEFUL objects. We recognize the world by utility. https://twitter.com/DegenRolf/status/1201456047820607489

    So you want to debate the normative definition of the term, the scientific, and the definition I use when I use it as I define it? What are you debating?

    Tell me a behavior you want to eliminate and explain how it isnt the result of neoteny and the resulting agency.

    @curtdoolittle Domestication: the process of taming an animal & keeping it as a pet or on a farm & the cultivation of a plant for food.
    Auto domestication: the process of turning humans into docile easily controlled pets.

    Please don’t confuse my poetic with analytic. Whether I’m speaking Analytically or Poetically, either is pretty damned obvious – because my analytic prose will make your brain bleed. So when I use poetic prose please grant me poetic license in exchange for the brevity. 😉

    @curtdoolittle Even if I’m technically only half, would raising my hand as an example be a type of performative contradiction? Kind of a catch 22

    LET’S GIVE EVERYONE A PRECISE LANGUAGE AND FOR THE DISCUSSION OF RELIGION.

    (worth repeating)

    We have been misled to thinking that ‘religion’ requires superstition. But that idea is a product of the authoritarian dogma created by the church under christianity. It’s simply not true.

    DECONFLATED, RELIGION CONSISTS OF:

    1) Narrative: historical, mythical, supernatural

    2) Metaphysical Judgments: (in many forms)

    3) Group Evolutionary Strategy: (in many forms )

    4) Normative Rules: (in many forms)

    5) Registries of Familial Property (birth, maturity, marriage, death)

    5) Rituals both private and public: (mindfulness in its forms)

    6) Feasts, Sports, Arts, and Festivals:(in their many forms)

    RELIGION ‘WORKS’ BY:

    1 – providing some variation on ‘mindfulness’ in which we can escape the problem of being honest with ourselves independently of all our accumulated intuitions and biases.

    2 – Forming associations between the ‘pack-response’ and group participation, and eliminating the problem of stress from post-tribal life’s lack of feedback, thereby extending trust bonds across kin groups, class groups, and market groups, which decreases transaction costs of all kinds in all walks of life.

    3 – Establishing normative rules for familial and cross familial behavior, that made (and continue to) reduce natural frictions between genetic variations in gender, class, tribe, race that (truthfully) translate in to different demands for association, reproduction, economic cooperation, and rule – and the status-seeking that affects each of those demands, dramatically.

    THE FUNCTIONAL PROBLEM OF WESTERN RELIGION

    1 – Separation of education and religion

    ……..a – The failure of religions to reform in response to the scientific enlightenment.

    ……..b – The failure of religions to reform in response to Darwin.

    ……..c – The Academy’s seizure of the functions of the church upon the failure of the church to reform.

    ……..d – The End of western separation and competition between Religion and State by the adoption of the synthesis of jewish cosmopolitan and puritan postmodern by the State, Academy, Media complex the current generation of thinkers refers to as “The Cathedral Complex”, or just “The Cathedral” for short.

    ……..e – The beginning of state-financed New Indulgences (we call them ‘college diplomas’) that promise a middle or upper class level of consumption instead of forgiveness of sins and entry into heaven – when the postwar economic boom that made possible the rapid expansion of the consumer class was just a temporary product of the combined tragedies of the Great European Civil War’s destruction of centuries of accumulated production capacity, plus the destruction of, and delay of expansion of, world production caused by the movement we call world communism (and now, its inheritor, world islamism).

    2 – the academy seized control of the commercial education and the ‘religious’ education (liberalism), but failed to seize familial education – and in most cases, assisted the state in the destruction first of black families, then white families, and now all families, in order to (a) provide women with child care (schooling), force them into the labor pool (feminism), and then consume the entire proceeds of women’s labor so that the war and boomer generation could retire early and lie on the next generation’s labor, and then immigrating third world labor to provide cheap labor (social programs) that cannot replace the prior generation because of lesser aggregate abilities. The family destruction was increased by attempt to create a mobile workforce and thereby deprive women of the multi-generational support necessary to raise more than one child without exhaustion. And now it is impossible for women to return to childbearing and child-rearing because of the tax demands placed upon their earnings by the immigration of underclasses and the dependency of the aged yet healthy enough to work.

    3 – The state-sponsored secular ‘religion’ that we currently teach is pseudoscientific (false, and dishonest), where the content of Christian religion (the extension of kinship forgiveness to non-kin) was ‘true’ but conveyed by nonsense and authoritarianism.

    4 – One of the unstated drivers for the current conflict in america is not just the decline of the white population and the ascent of the colored cities, but because science has caught up and since 1990 has been aggressively disproving the universalist, globalist, equalitarian democratic secular socialist religion. And those who are aware of this are … angry … and full of conviction that their traditions and intuitions were correct. Therefore they feel betrayed and deceived.

    THE WEST HAS ALWAYS BEEN POLYTHEISTIC

    While it is the secret to the west’s competitive advantage, we are sometimes misled by our (false) historical narrative:

    The west never engaged in conflation, by creating ‘one book’ so to speak. We have always had:

    …. 1) Law (limits) for the Ruling (fathering) Classes,

    …. 2) Commerce (pragmatism) for the producing classes.

    …. 3) Religion (utopianism) for Science / pseudoscience, philosophy / pseudorationalism, and Theology / fraud for the Educating (mothering) classes (church/academy).

    And have always maintained the three estates of the realm using the three methods of coercion

    1) Law/Limits: Force / ostracization from movement/ resources / life itself.

    2) Exchange/Utility: Payment / Remuneration / Ostracization from consumption.

    3) Religion: Gossip / Rallying / Shaming / Ostracization from opportunity for insurance from the tribe.

    THE WEST’S ADMINISTRATIVE RELIGION IS THE COMMON SOVEREIGN INDO-EUROPEAN/ARISTOCRATIC/ANGLO SAXON LAW, AND ITS PRIEST’S ARE OUR JUDGES

    Reason, empiricism, science, and now ‘testimonialism’ (the completion of the scientific method) all evolved out of western empirical common law.

    There is no reason our founding myths:

    1) Homer, takes of kings, princes and princesses: the germanic myths, legends, and fairy tales;

    2) History and the lives of the great thinkers;

    3) the tales of jesus and the saints;

    Cannot be taught as ‘religion’ and their contributions celebrated.

    RELIGION IS NECESSARY FOR EVOLUTIONARY REASONS, BUT SUPERSTITION, PSEUDO-RATIONALISM, PSEUDOSCIENCE, CONFLATION AND DECEPTION ARE NOT.

    THE CYCLE OF REVOLUTIONS (TRUTHS) AND COUNTER REVOLUTIONS (LIES)

    ———————————

    1) REVOLUTION: The invention of aristocracy (horse, bronze, wheel).

    =>COUNTER-REVOLUTION: organized conflationary superstitious advisory religion.

    2) REVOLUTION: The invention of truth, reason, deconflation, competition.

    =>COUNTER-REVOLUTION: Conflationary Monotheistic Authoritarian Religion

    3) REVOLUTION: Empricism

    =>COUNTER REVOLUTIONS:

    – French Pseudoscientific Moralism: Rousseau et al.

    – Russian literary nihilism.

    – German pseudo-rational philosophy.

    4) REVOLUTION: Science: Darwin (evolution), spencer (operationalism), poincare(mathematical realism), maxwell (electromagnetism), nietzsche (restoration of aristocratic aesthetics)

    =>COUNTER REVOLUTION:

    – Jewish Cosmopolitan Pseudoscience: Boaz (anthropology), Marx (economics and sociology: cooperation), Freud (psychology), Adorno et al (Aesthetics).
