—“I am an Epicurean, I can neither admit God to my science, nor deny people (myself included) the consolation of religion. I guess I’m a hypocrite because I am not strong like a Cynic, and enjoy pleasurable things too much to claim Stoicism.”— Mike Herrin

—“Many modern Christians do not understand that such self-righteousness is a luxury good. They do not pay the costs of their virtue signaling, so they can afford to ignore the effects of changing public policies in order to signal.”—Ulysses Aaron Cartwright

***Christianity can be taught as myth, while removing the falsehoods by stating that it is myth and parable not history and truth.***
—“All science relies on metaphor. The science of wisdom is no different. Metaphor and allegory contain truths in tangible terms that can be readily understood and applied. The problems are not so much with the group (church) but with the leaders (priests) who, given sufficient authority, seek greater means of control over the group. Lies are the means of control and control is necessary for ‘steering’ in a given direction. This is only necessary because the individuals of whom the group is comprised lack self-control…and, so, back to the message….a self-referencing feed-back loop.”— Lesley Keys

Q:”WHAT’S PLATONIC PHILOSOPHY?”
(first attempt) (pretty close)
A: (a) referring to (supplying information by) the extra-natural (a subset of the supernatural) in a justificationary argument – and specifically, references to extra normal ideals – instead of limiting references to the existential. More generally, (b) Plato and Socrates were literary (analogistic) philosophers producing dialogs. Aristotle was a descriptive (correspondent) philosopher. Plato invoked order (decidability) provided by the extra-natural, as a compromise means of avoiding the supernatural. (This appears to have been the greek innovation over the flood river authoritarian civilizations.) In other words plato conflated the mythical, literary, and rational, to produce authoritative arguments as a means of avoiding the mythical and supernatural authoritarianism of the theologists.
In the ancient world we saw another instance of the deflationary division so common in western civilization: the separation of decidability into a) law, b) science (aristotelian descriptive philosophy), c) literary envisionary philosophy and it’s companion history, d) platonic philosophy conflating a limited supernaturalism and literary philosophy, e) the continuation of theology: the conflation of law and supernatural mythology, and f) the Augustinian conflation of reason and theology. And all these ‘languages’ or ‘techniques’ persisted through the centuries.
The Anglos preserve aristotelianism, the french literary(rousseau), the germans have preserved platonism (kant et al). and the jews have conflated law, and pseudoscience, as a replacement for law and supernaturalism.

I certainly think everything I say is compatible with the words of jesus of nazareth. I think the babylonian myths coopted in the bible are one set of origin stories (babylonian, greek, roman, french(carolingian), germanic, nordic, anglo-arthurian. I think churches and ‘priests’ are necessary. And I think christianity can be taught as myth, while removing the falsehoods by stating that it is myth and parable not history and truth.
I regard christianity as having failed, because the church was so desperate to preserve the lies, that it did not adapt to telling the truths: that the church in retrospect has worked hard to build civilization from the ashes of the empire – albeit with entirely selfish motives. And that the christianization of europa was among the great crimes in history.
But that does not mean we do not need a church. Without it we get the state or the academy or both. and as we have seen, they are far worse than the church.
We have but one aristocratic religion – that is the law and the sacredness of the law; sovereignty, and the sacredness of it; the beauty of women, family nature, craft, and art, and the sacredness of that beauty.
I am not sure why we need lies if we have thousands of years of great men and great families. If we have festivals to celebrate them. If we have stoicism for men and upper (and secular buddhism for women and bottom), and we create monthly or holiday ‘feasts and services’ wherein we practice how to behave in the presence of the sacred.
People went to church to learn. They stayed in church for institutional reasons. There is no reason we cannot ‘take’ the christian church and make it a place of learning, and institutional utility. But to do that we must separate the teachings of ‘love’ of jesus from the teachings of lies of the church.

DENY POTENTIAL ALLIES THE FIELD
Part of winning the war against the left’s jewish pseudoscientific, puritan and german psuedo rational, and french moral, and islamic reactionary movments is denying your allies in the libertarian and the right, their fantasies. It is easy for them to concentrate their forces upon us, prior to concentrating their forces upon each other.
Ending traditional conservatism wasn’t necessary -it failed despite access to power. Ending optimistic conservatism wasn’t necessary – it failed despite access to power. Ending neoconservatism wasn’t necessary – it failed despite access to power. Ending libertinism (Libertarianism) was a bit harder because it was such a failure it never obtained access to power with which to demonstrate their failure. Ending the Christian 88’ers is even harder because they have no chance whatsoever of obtaining power, and demonstrating failure while in power. Any more than their peers, the Jewish communists and socialists have of obtaining power. It is harder to defeat libertarians because of the pseudoscientific and anti-historical bulwark that they have created – sufficient for an attempt at constructing a new religion. And it’s even harder to defeat the 88’ers because they have neither the intellectual bulwark to defeat, nor the evidence of failure, nor the power during which they can demonstrate their failure.
On the other hand the demonstration of the failure of the 88’ers is their fantasy that they can lead the very revolution that they seek to obtain, by intellectual argument, moral imperative, or obtaining and holding power.
The 88’ers are just soldiers. The libertines just escapists. the merchants just followers. It is up for the warriors and the aristocracy to lead, so that the soldiers have something possible to follow.
But like their marxist peers, they have the fantasy that they can rule. This fantasy must be ended in order for them to obtain their desired status by possible, and durable means.
There is only one future available to us that restores the relative position of our classes in relation to other classes: the restoration of our competitive advantage: sovereignty, truth, beauty, and the production of commons against which no other people can compete.
Everyone thinks they can lead. But we lead because people want us to, and they want us to because we have actionable plans, and we achieve results because we have actionable plans and people who want a leader to inform them how to act in favor of what end.
If you don’t have ideas, dont have plans, don’t have leaders, and don’t have sufficient number of people who can act on those plans as suggested by their leaders, then you are just IN THE WAY.
You are a useful idiot working in favor of the left against your own people.
That’s my criticism of the 88’ers.

Heaven’s Contract
Let us sow the seeds of the Great Garden with Truth—and nurture it with the blood of beasts.
Will that we may steward our Great Garden to something more mighty, noble, and truthful than ourselves.
And with its blessed fruits, will that we, too, become more mighty, more noble, more truthful, more beautiful, more godly.
Let us will upon ourselves that heavenly contract—that we may transcend beast, man and human alike.
Let our Great Garden stand as testimony to our own virtue. And let it serve as the extinguishable light of goodness—and that it may chase away the darkness.
And let us be vigilant, with our brothers in arms, that it may never return again.
BY FORCE OF TRUTH AND MIGHT, WE WILL TRANSCEND.
