    (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.

    THE ONLY TEST OF YOUR IDEAS IS LAW

    (natural law is to human sciences, as mathematics is to physical sciences)

    If you can’t write a body of policy changes, a project plan, contracts, shareholder agreements, a body of law, and a constitution to make a society function you’re just talking smack – because that is the hierarchy of algorithms that produce not a simulation but the operating system of the real world that we live in.

    You must program a computer via positiva, because it cannot imagine, or predict, and so cannot choose without those instructions. But you must program humanity via negativa because it can imagine, predict, and choose – which is why humans can adapt and computers can’t.

    And while both a computer and a human are amoral, the computer cannot choose between morality and immorality. The human can. And the purpose of our manners, ethics morals, norms, traditions, institutions and laws is to rase the cost of the immoral choices so that only moral choices remain.

    But we all test that limit at every opportunity.

    THE UNDERMINING OF THE MASCULINE BY MAGICAL THINKING

    (important summary)

    The military was shut out of politics. Then men’s organizations shut off and out of civil society. Then the family undermined to shut men out of the family. Then manliness shut out of education. Then men and manliness shut out of discourse. And only once that was accomplished could the enemy fully remove european sense making: realism, naturalism, operationalism and our heroism and duty, Excellence and Beauty, Truth and reciprocity, Law and Jury, and markets and eugenics – How, persistent, relentless undermining – the warfare strategy of the human female. It was all by design. The design to restore the pre-civilizational strategy of the female and the herd. A design driven by instinct not rason. However, there are no female civilizations for reason – they cannot survive. Yet they try over and over again to fail. Why? “Predisposition to magical thinking.” The predisposition to magical thinking is as relentless as the predisposition to undermine. Neither Eve nor Pandora received the punishment they deserved. … Until now.

    —“We can thank Rome for bastardizing the teaching of Christ and merging roman law and administration into religious fiction which became legal fiction 😣”— Justin Coone

    In the end, yes, that’s the problem in a nutshell. Tried to make a jewish middle eastern(occult) supernatural(astrological) government for peasants, women, and slaves (equalitarian), over a european rule of law (empirical), magical metallurgicall), and warrior people (hierarchical) – fracturing the society in exchange for obtaining a clerical and priestly class and egyptian levels of religious rule at the cost of making common people into peasants rather than kinfolk.

    That’s really what’s lost: making kin into peasants.

    The dogmatically faithful demonstrate loyalty to one another by loyalty to dogma so that together they create a social construction (tribe), so that together they can serve as a social and political FORCE – a resistance movement – against other tools of status signaling: power.
