    THERE IS ONLY ONE METHOD OF OPTING-IN

    by Lorenz Fiorenza

    —“We only opt-in through participation in the militia and the revolution. The system can’t be reformed. If the militia is a sword that forges itself, then it is up to the discretion of the militia to choose what leader they give their sword to. It is a gamble and there is no 100% likelihood of benevolence- Washington could have contracted syphilis and gone mad despite pure intent. The question is, will a world of monarchies be inevitable due to the long-term institutions needed for managing the domestication and transcendence of man?”—

    Why do I want to combine church, school, and academy? Because the era where education ends is over. Education will be continuous. Not a single large investment followed by debt, but a continuous part time investment from birth until death. Not classes organized by age, but by ability and interest. And there is no need for a church of lies. We will not need a church of continuous therapy for our failure to produce mindfulness. Only the teaching of the disciplines by which we produce in a division of labor, that security which we evolved in the tribe.

    RESTORING THE PRIVATE CIVIC, NORMATIVE, COMPETITIVE, ORDER.

    Well, Yes, I am intentionally screwing with people by asking the question under the guise of church. Because I suspected the reaction I got. And therefore people are so anchored that it is impossible.

    2) If instead, I said, “If schools, in which we invest heavily in intergenerational activities, providing a service we cannot do without (education), shortened their school hours, but expanded their functions, so that they had a weekly ‘feast’ (food) after which they taught weekly family ‘lessons’ using the great myths and virtues in the form of literary interpretation; and served broader civic functions like fitness, registries of birth, property, and death; Credit Union with zero interest consumer loans; and armory of the militia; would we be able to restore the civic society with many such ‘shareholder organizations’? Secondly, could we repurpose our many declining and abandoned churches, and related property, for this purpose, to preserve their architecture?”

    In other words, can we recreate the civic society out of multiple private institutions, that are necessary because they provide necessary functions?

    Is this a possible institutional solution(normative government)

  • THE TRANSFORMATION OF CHRISTIANITY. —“How hard is it necessary to counter-sign

    THE TRANSFORMATION OF CHRISTIANITY.

    —“How hard is it necessary to counter-signal Christianity? I hate Christianity as such. But it doesn’t seem terribly productive because most of them are never going to change – at least in this generation.”— A Friend

    I don’t know myself. I’m running the experiment. That’s what I do. I attack ideas to see if they survive or not. Most long time followers know that’s how I work.

    So far I can’t find a reason to hold onto Christianity other than to take over the institutions and to demote the various fables to just ‘another one of the legends’.

    I would prefer to abandon all of the new testament and the majority of the old, other than some of the babylonian myths (the flood etc.). And I would like to cast each of the ‘gods’ of the zoroastrians and the abrahamists as different gods. And to restore sky-father as our ‘pater familia’.

    For the preachers, I can see using all legends to teach (a) transcendence, (b) the monomyth, (c) the various plots within the monomyth, (d) the archetypes that serve those plots, and (e) the virtues each archetype teaches us. Then to apply those lessons to the problems of the day or era. And to apply them to the cycles of life and the ways in which the different classes can handle them.

    For spirtuality, then to teach mindfulness and the virtues via stoicism, the discourse with the gods as reformed prayer, and the use, if necessary of meditation where prayer, and virtues fail.

    As for the ritual, to replace the apostle’s creed with an oath more suitable to our people (truth, duty, etc), and the sacrifice and feast ritual to something more suitable to our people.

    As for funding the church I prefer to merge the spiritual and material disciplines into one institution, by combining church and education, thereby providing a means of funding, and a constant flow of generations. A section of the constitution for the church/school as well as one for the state.

    To defend the church/school and the people, to attach an armory and militia and funding for the militia to any church that can raise one.

    If done so, then the church (family) is restored to its position as a competitor to the state (houses).

    This is the theory I”m working with since it eliminates falsehood, restores the competition between family and state, and provides a method of funding and opposing the state (government).

    This is but one small part of what I’m doing. I’m just working through the theory to see if it survives.

    Dr Peterson

    If we have the choice of using descriptive myths (history), hyperbolic myths (‘myth’ proper), supernatural myths (conflating ideal and supernormal),or ideal myths (the ideals/platonism)to teach wisdom (how to understand and succeed in the world), then why is it necessary, or even useful, if not harmful, to choose to teach those wisdom literatures that have been used to subvert truth-telling (via the supernatural, and ideal) in both the ancient worlds (Abrahamic Religions), and modern worlds (Marxism/Postmodernism/Esoteric-Occult)?

    In other words, if it is so difficult to grasp the hierarchy of { transcendence > monomyth > ‘the plots’ of storytelling > archetype > virtue }, do we refer to those collections of myth which contain falsehoods via conflation of wisdom, truth, and law, using supernaturalism and idealism, when we can constrain ourselves to those collections of myths that contain mere magnifications of the real, that claim only wisdom, not truth or law, and rely only on hyperbole (super-normalism) and drama (super-normalism)?

    Why not instead teach people the differences between the honest literature wherein gods, demigods, heroes, saints, and the common man are subject to the laws of the universe, and where no claim is made that there exists utopias, ideals, and the supernatural that holds dominion over the physical universe?

    If the story can be told through illustration (dramatization) rather than fictionalism (lying) then why tell a story otherwise?

    Why not instead, use hyperbole and dramatization as ‘good’ using Archetypes and virtues, and teach fictionalism using idealism, supernaturalism, and conflation of wisdom, truth, and law, with those same archetypes as ‘bad’, and the the difference as the primary means of illustrating the ultimate conflict between good (True) and evil (lies)?

    Thanks. (a great deal)

    WE ALL SEEK RENTS, BUT THERE IS A SOLUTION.

    All human organizations expand to the maximum consumption and distribution of rents, until there is insufficient free capital to use as incentives to reorganize the organization in response to changes anywhere from incremental to shocks.

    Cooperation evolved as a means of suppression alpha rents ( domination of reproduction and calorie consumption), freeing up the potential cooperation and reproduction of people in exchange for the development of moral instincts.

    The institution of Property evolved as a means of suppressing family, kin, clan, tribe, and headman rents, therefore freeing up the incentives and productivity of people.

    The state evolved as a means of centralizing rents which were used to suppress local rents, thus eliminating local transaction costs of the people.

    The empire evolved as a means of centralizing rents which were used to suppress regional rents, thus eliminating transaction costs of the commercial peoples.

    Organizations of commercial people evolve by the provision of rents (rewards) for loyalty to a network of production.

    Larger organizations evolved by the organization and provision of capital in order to provide rents (rewards), in exchange for suppressing the rents of many smaller organizations.

    At some point one always needs to create ‘a larger’ organization to suppress the smaller organization’s rents, and improve the ability of people to cooperate at lower cost.

    That larger or perhaps largest organization, is the militia, and its function is to suppress the parasitism of the State.

  • “all boomer activism on suspect now”— Destroy their liens on future generation

    —“all boomer activism on suspect now”—

    Destroy their liens on future generations, and destroy interest on consumer credit, and put universities in charge of debt on part of students, and there you go.

    We will subject boomers to suicidal old age, and hate them to the last man and woman.

    That’s almost as enjoyable as burning them at the stake.

  • PROFESSIONALIZING BANKING AND FINANCE It’s really not complicated. Privately fun

    PROFESSIONALIZING BANKING AND FINANCE

    It’s really not complicated.

    Privately funded Loans used as input for production distribution trade and profit can accrue interest, paid symmetrically, rather than front loaded.

    You can sell a fractional interest in a loan, but you cannot convey responsibility for a loan beyond the individual who ‘measured’ it (originated it.) ( This is one of the most important applications of blockchain technology: the fractional shares of interest. )

    The originator must take full losses on each and every loan he originates before the losses are transferred to those those that have purchased factional interest.

    Originated loans may not be bundled or attached as a criteria of fractional sale in any way as each is unique and it is impossible to aggregate them.

    All originated loans must be traceable to an individual originator.

    All originators must possess a Series Seven or equivalent license thereof. All such holders must possess insurance.

    CONSUMER LOANS

    Consumers may borrow directly from the treasury, through an agent, and no interest may be charged directly or indirectly for consumer purchase, possession, use, and non-transfer of a consumable good.

    The only fees for this consumer borrowing from the treasury shall be commission fees, which will consist of costs plus a percentage of costs.

    The maximum duration of a consumer loan is the half life of the replacement life of portable property, and fifteen years for primary residency.

    PURPOSE

    To elminate interest on consumer loans.

    To redirect all consumer interest to the commons (end privatization of profits from fiat currency).

    To end the impossibilty of transferring prices for unique objects to others.
