    I try not to rationalize these things, and think I’m terribly smart, and instead I just look at the evidence – the evidence left behind by abrahamic religions (judaism, christianity, and islam) is tragic – and the evidence of their reformed versions (pseudoscientific marxism/socialism, pseudoscientific social democracy, and pseudo-rational postmodernism) is just as bad.

    The abrahamic method of ‘suggestion’ by which one bypasses reason via overloading and conflation, is the worse thing to happen to humanity outside the great plagues (polio, tuberculosis, malaria, bubonic…).

    I mean, between the christian dark ages, the jewish inability to hold territory and constant persecution, and the hundreds of millions of dead from islam and communism, not to mention the loss of the great civilizations of north africa, persia, the western roman empire, the byzantine empire, and the indus valley, its hard to imagine which is worse: plagues of the mind or body.

    We humans demonstrate all sorts of demand. A lot of what we demand is bad for us. Truth, Excellence, and Beauty among them. But much of what we demand is the comfort of avoiding all efforts at truth excellence and beauty – producing deception, crime, and decay.

    Philosophy without history, economics, and science is just secular religion – a form of conspicuous consumption.

    Just by adding costs in to philosophy half of all questions disappear.

    Just by adding operational language to philosophy, the rest disappear.

    There really aren’t very many difficult questions: metaphysics (action), epistemology (testimony), ethics (reciprocity), politics (markets for commons), group evolutionary strategy (predation, parasitism, cooperation, or avoidance.)

    The meaningful issue is: why don’t you like the answers? 😉

    WHAT IS THE LIMIT OF CHRISTIAN CHARITY???

    (important insight)

    “The Limit of Christian Charity? Like war and childbirth, charity is not subject to proxy.”

    This was the bit of profound insight I gleaned from my long morning conversation with a committed catholic ‘recruiter’. There is nothing western about christianity. It is a cult that is designed to attack the aristocracy from below. Nothing more.

    It’s just like Marxism and Postmodernism. The difference is that christianity works through building trust and extending kinship love using supernatural excuses, and marxism works by economic jealousy and pseudoscience, and postmodernism by identity (genetic) jealousy and lying.

    So christianity operates by doing material good under false pretenses of afterlife subsistence salvation;

    Marxism operates by doing substantive damage under pseudoscientific pretenses of future economic and class salvation.

    Postmodernism operates by doing substantive damage to norms under false pretenses of future economic, class, and genetic status salvation.

    Here is the truth tho: You are just virtue signaling if you proxy your charity. You are just virtue signaling if you help the immigrant rather than the old couple across the street. You are just virtue signaling if you devote the income of others to charities or redistribution. You cannot, as a proxy, determine the morality of an individual. Therefore, we might say that all of us might redistribute some portion of our dividends (pool of taxes) to deserving individuals. But if you work through a proxy you are just depriving those individuals of the full merit of your contributions.

    And virtue signaling is just another form of fraud.

    So, charity, like war, like childbirth, is not open to substitution or redistribution. You must do it yourself or you are a fraud. In other words, there exists no such option as political charity.

    A COSTLY BUREAUCRACY

    Pagan Roman religion was, like nearly every aspect of anything Roman, an ordered, systematic, state-sponsored bureaucratic institution [and therefore fragile] featuring extremely costly: a) hierarchical priesthood, b) vassal virgins, c) real estate d) expensive garb e) special rites and rituals, traditions, the esoteric/exoteric, national holidays, and d) of course, taxes.

    WEALTH TRANSFER

    Emperors Constantine thru Justinian, eager to appropriate middle-class resources, convert Messiah-ism into statecraft.

    DIFFERENT GARB

    A revised Hellenism emerged featuring: a) hierarchical priesthood, b) vassal virgins, c) real estate d) expensive garb e) special rites and rituals, traditions, the esoteric/exoteric, national holidays, and d) of course, taxes.

    NIETZCHE ON ISLAM

    by Daniel Gurpide

    Nietzsche considered himself as the biggest enemy of Christianity. His entire project of reevaluation of all values was based on a harsh critic of all crucial values of Christianity. Let us not forget that Nietzsche himself was the product of Christianity: he came from a long line of preachers. In that sense, and only for polemical purposes does he praise Islam.

    He presents Islam in a more favorable light since it is a lot more masculine and warrior-like than Christianity: male Semitism vs. female Semitism.

    “If Islam despises Christianity, it has a thousandfold right to do so: Islam at least assumes that it is dealing with men….” (The Antichrist).

    Nietzsche also respected the Persian Aryan spirit which had survived underground within Islamic civilization. He appreciates it’s aesthetics, culture, wealth, art. And let us not forget that he is comparing Islamic civilization at its zenith with the medieval dark ages in Europe. He is not offering a choice to modern European man.

    The scholars who made the “Arab miracle” possible were mostly Syrians, Persians, Spaniards and Jews (not a drop of Arab blood in their veins and completely alien to the Arab mentality). Expelled from Europe by the Christian crusaders, displaced from Asia by the Mongol hordes, dominated by the Turks in Egypt, the Arabs lost contact with the Persians, Syrians, Christians, and Jews. Isolated once again, under the yoke of their fanatical Imams, they fell in deep slumber and the cycle of ignorance, dysgenics, poverty, and brutality started again. Any critical spirit which was left was suffocated without remorse: Allah aalam, God knows best.

    As I continue my work, I generally think more in terms of conflation and deflation. I’m not against religion – i think it’s necessary. I’m against falsehood. And that’s because falsehood is not necessary – and the consequences of it are terrible.
