    THE SYNTHESIS OF LITERATURE AND TRUTH

    (read it and weep) (stoicism) (truthful literature)

    THE MONOMYTH – Transcendence (Transformation)

    THE ARCHETYPES – Characters (Categories)

    THE VIRTUES – Comparison Operators (Values)

    THE ORDERS – Axioms (Relations: sets of conditions)

    THE NARRATIVES – Operations (Methods of change in state)

    THE DISCIPLINES – Mindfulness/Stoicism ( Noise Reduction)

    THE SCIENCES – Measurement (reduction of ignorance, error, bias, deception reduction)

    THE TRUTH – Parsimony (Most Parsimonious Operational Name of a Recipe of Transformation.)

    There exists only one objective – transcendence.

    There exists only one narrative – transcendence

    There exist only a few sub-narratives – methods of transcendence

    There exist only so many non-false virtues – variables of transcendence

    There exist only so many portfolios of virtues – transcendent characters.

    There exist only so many methods of non-false noise reduction – transcendent mind.

    There exist only so many methods of non-false elimination of falsehoods – transcendent reason.

    There exists only so many sets of primary operations – transcendent truths.

    Via-Positiva:

    A myth can employ anthropomorphism in an act of transcendence.

    A myth can employ hyperbole (super-normalism) in an act of transcendence.

    A myth can employ any technique to create an immoral condition against which one employs virtues to transcend.

    A myth can employ virtues in an act of transcendence.

    Via Negativa:

    A myth cannot contradict the virtue of transcendence.

    A myth cannot contradict of a virtue of transcendence in an act of transcendence.

    A myth cannot employ a falsehood in an act of transcendence

    A myth cannot employ luck or miracles in an act of transcendence.

    A myth cannot employ fictionalism (idealism, supernaturalism, pseudoscience/pseudo-rationalism) in an act of transcendence.

    If a myth can survive these tests then it is true, and good.

    If a myth cannot survives these tests then it is false, and evil.

    The best of stoic ethics would include not lying by fictionalism.

    (read this)

    The Ancient Civilization of Greece and Rome culminated under Roman Paganism, Roman Stoicism, and Roman Law.

    Christendom consists of Steppe Orthodoxy, Mediterranean Catholicism, North Sea Protestantism, Anglo/German Puritanism, French/Ango Postmodernism. With the masculine at the start of the spectrum, and feminism at the end of it.

    All of christendom has restored some aspect of aristotelianism (science) and stoicism (virtues). But most have preserved some Semitic deceptions, out of habit, indoctrination, familiarity, or ignorance of alternatives.

    All of christendom has preserved some aspects of our paganism – particulary in celtic, germanic, slavic, lands – if only in our mythos of pedagogy, hearth, and home. Masculinity survives. It survives most strongly in america which has preserved the militia the longest, and succeeded in defeating the state, rather than defeating the church. This is a lesson for mankind for all eternity. America preserved her churches and her militia longest, by defeating the state, not empowering it or taking it over. Just as anglo saxon man and Classical man would not tolerate the state’s imposition on the militia.

    But once we depart the masculine entirely we find the Jewish philosophy.

    The Jewish Counter-Enligthenment arrived in the form of Jewish cosmopolitanism in the works of Boaz’s restatement of jewish (feminine) history, Marx’s restatement of jewish (feminine) ethics, sociology, and history, freud’s restatement of jewish (feminine) ethics, and Mises restatement of jewish (feminine) economics, as well as the Frankfurt School’s restatement of jewish (feminine) aesthetics.

    If we want to discover social science and the articulation of western civilization’s strategy of truthfulness: it’s Aristotle and Zeno culminating in the Roman Stoics, Defeated by the Eastern Empire under Constantine through Justinian.

    The truth (stoicism) was Restored by Galileo, Copernicus, Kepler, DaVinci,Newton, AND Machiavelli Bacon, Locke, Hume, Smith.

    THEN the near defeat by the Abrahamic Counter-Enlightenment IN COMPETITION WITH the second scientific and industrial revolution (social sciences) by Maxwell, Poincare, Darwin, Spencer, Hayek, and Nietzsche.

    DEFEATED again by the combination of the Jewish (feminine) Abrahamic Counter-Enlightenment, and the French (feminine) counter enlightenment: Postmodernism.

    Meanwhile the German (protestant) Counter-Enlightenment (pious, or submissive, masculine) had little consequence, because of Kant and subsequent continental philosophers continuing the conflation of experience, existence, and goodness, instead of truth.

    At present, very, very, very, reluctant Jewish social scientists, cautious anglo american cognitive scientists, evangelic british historians and archaeologists, romantic russian archaeologists, a very select group of pragmatic other european scientists, and now (thankfully) competitive chinese scientists, have, at least since the 1980s used science (once again) to defeat the lies of the Abrahamists, whether jewish, french, feminist, or feminist-apologists using feminine strategy of gossip (betas, journalists, writers, artists, teachers, and professors).

    The primary challenge we face today is immigration. Because it is fairly certain the the scientific problem will be answered, and the entire feminine argumentative artifice be overthrown, within the next thirty years.

    So our primary challenge is to repatriate vast legions, or lock them in ghettos again, or overthrow our governments and kill as many as we can until they leave, so that the science can confirm what men know by intuition.

    You cannot fix stupid. You cannot clean genes. And the prosperity of a people is not a matter of opinion and choice but one of incentives produced by a militia of sovereign men in the service of a common enemy, where the common enemy is the universe, and the half humans that surround us, and prevent our conquest of both.

    As a general rule of mutual misunderstanding, a russian cannot conceive of a protestant mind’s trust, and it is very difficult for a protestant to conceive of a russian minds total absence of it.

    THE PAST AND PRESENT PROBLEM: WE WON.

    —“What Stoics were lacking is the definition of inspiration, the driving force, the Light that draws men closer to the ultimate goal”. — Igor Rogov

    In other words, they failed to identify Transcendence as a spiritual replacement for resistance against the tyranny of the east (war).

    They confused living in correspondence with the laws of the physical world, with the defeat of the dark forces of the barbarians, the un-sovereign peoples, the lies of the fictionalists (idealists/supernaturalists), the combination of our own ignorance, error, bias and deceit, the defeat of regression to the mean in any group, and the universal war against time, scarcity, and a hostile universe.

    They failed to turn their via-negativa (defense) into a via positiva (transcendence). The defeat of the east, the defeat of the self, the defeat of the universe: transcendence.

    The problem was that once the ancients ‘won’ the lost their source of inspiration: defense against the evils of the east.

    THIS IS THE CURRENT PROBLEM AS WELL.

    For heroic man, for who truthful speech (meaning scientific speech), meaning virtuous speech, display and action, what is the reason for sacrifice to the commons (Rather than conspicuous consumption) once we’ve ‘won’?

    THE HUMILITY OF REFERENCES TO THE GODS

    When we say “the gods only know” we mean that we don’t know.

    When we say, “the gods work in mysterious ways” we mean that there is much about life, the universe, and everything that is unfathomable; and always will be, to limited minds.

    When we say “the gods sit in judgement of the righteous and unrighteous” we mean that consequences cannot be evaded; even if, at times, they may perhaps be shifted or deferred.

    When we say “the gods command it” we mean that the divine commandments have withstood the test of time; unlike those who foolishly neglected, altered, or abridged them.

    These are all useful heuristics for humility.

    In contrast, the arrogance, hubris, and recklessness of the so-called “skeptic” can be nearly without limit.

    WHAT WAS THAT ABOUT CHRISTIANS IN CHINA?

    CHINESE police destroyed a church after dragging worshippers out of the building and beating them in the street.

    By Katie Mansfield

    Violence broke out in Shanggiu in Henan province after 300 police officers and officials demolished the Shuangmiao Christian Church—which was under construction.

    Officers dragged out around 40 Christians with one worshipper comparing the brutal scenes to the Japanese invasion of China during the Second World War, according to charity China Aid.

    Eight Christians remain in custody following the incident amid a crackdown on churches by the communist regime.

    During the demolition, officials beat dozens of church members, pushing them to the ground and twisting their hands

    China Aid said: “During the demolition, officials beat dozens of church members, pushing them to the ground and twisting their hands.

    “The church was completely razed, and a church member likened the scene to the Japanese invasion of China during World War II.

    “Of the 40 Christians seized, eight are still in custody, and the cases of Shuangmiao Christian Church pastor Zhang Di and the church’s vice director, Lü Yuexia, were recently transferred to the Procuratorate, which will decide whether or not to formalise their arrest.”

    The Chinese Communist Party has launched a major crackdown on religion

    Eight Christians remain in custody

    The Supreme People’s Procuratorate is the highest agency in China responsible for prosecutions.

    According to churchgoers Xi Jinping’s Communist Party ordered the church to be destroyed after branding the building an “illegal structure”.

    Party officials were sent to the church to search the building and belongings of people on site.

    China Aid said the party confiscated phones and other personal property, damaged closets, smashed offering boxes, and stole laptops, money, and jewellery.

    The demolition came as row between the church and government escalated over allegations the church refused to pay a £450 arbitrary road usage fee.

    Pastor Zhang Di was summoned for questioning last month and accused of assaulting police officers and attacking a village official.

    Church leaders are urging the government to release the pastor and churchgoers. They are also calling for police linked to the investigation to be punished.

  • THE MEANING OF THE WORD RELIGION AND ITS RELEVANCE by Daniel Gurpide The origina

    THE MEANING OF THE WORD RELIGION AND ITS RELEVANCE

    by Daniel Gurpide

    The original meaning of the Latin word religio—from religare, to tie fast—was never used until Constantinian times to describe the ‘superstitio nova ac malefica’ represented by Christianity and has nothing to do with the metaphysical or fideistic concepts introduced by monotheism.

    It is simply what binds together the members of a political and ethno-cultural community.

    As such, religion has two aspects: the myth—the representation that we choose to have of our own past, and more generally of the universe, in relation to the future, the destiny that we want to create; and the rite—the evocation and celebration of our being together with the intention of provoking a general mobilisation of spirits:

    A Nationalisation of The Masses that is a necessary condition for the new European Nation to have a destiny worthy of its own past, and worthy of what we once were – and could be again.

    This is the real religious question.

  • THE WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE ORTHODOX PEOPLES? —“Curt: What are your thoughts

    THE WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE ORTHODOX PEOPLES?

    —“Curt: What are your thoughts on the Orthodox church?”—

    Well, I have good and bad to say about the churches themselves, but that does not say much about the orthodox peoples. The catholic and orthodox churches differ trivially. Far less so than the protestant and catholic churches.

    THE ORTHODOX PEOPLES

    The orthodox peoples compensate for low trust, with strong family, friendship, high ritual, sacredness, and smaller organizations, lower experimentation, entrepreneurship, and innovation.

    The orthodox people never formed a militia,and never developed a middle class, never developed contractualism, and never went through the enlightenment, and are descendent almost entirely from farmers and serfs. Hence strong family, strong friends, weak commerce, and low trust.

    THE ORTHODOX LATE ADOPTER BENEFITS

    That said, the late adopter of a technology may filter the observed undesirable effects, retain the desirable effects, and not abandon the more desirable effects of the prior order.

    So, once modernity has spread through the rest of the world (islam, india, china, and africa), and the excesses of the west are no longer possible due to extreme differences in wealth, it would be logical, and appears to evolve, that the orthodox may have benefitted from her delay.

    If you can have all the benefits of the west, and not destroy your civlization in the process is not that the best alternative?

    I think so.

    THE FUTURE OF OUR PEOPLE IN CONTEXT

    So I would prefer to live amongst the Traditional Orthodox and Catholic peoples over that of the Cosmopolitan Protestant/Jewish peoples, if I cannot save my own protestant peoples from Cosmopolitanism by the forcible elimination of the lies and deceptions that make Protestant Suicide possible.

    All I need to is convince enough of my extended kin to eliminate fraud from the public discourse, and defund the production of the industrialization of lying, and I can save my people.

    To do that I need only produce a reformed constitution, a set of demands to implement it, a reason for the majority of my kin to demand it as well over the interests of their cosmopolitan elites, and destroy the fragile economy long enough that the state cannot survive the combination of demands, disorder, destruction, and loss of support of the people.
