    The reason for festivals and rituals is to provide opportunities for those for whom suppression of impulse is very costly to recharge their inventory of discipline in an environment that is sanctioned by the polity, while under their eye, showing you are not a danger to them; and to provide opportunities to learn the suppression of impulses necessary for the polity through safety and insurance in its shelter. And to demonstrate one is worthy of their sanction. The reason for law is to punish those impulses where not sanctioned by the polity. Both the sanction of excesses and the practice of indoctrination into the sacred, use the pack response to bind us through ‘thick plenty, and thin scarcity’.

    Men demonstrate the behavior of pack animals, and women, herd animals. But these are non-trivial emotions we feel. And our celebrations of release in plenty, and disciplines of sanctity in scarcity provide opportunity for outliers to show themselves, and opportunity for everyone else to find sanction, and opportunity for our elites to provide venues for their imitation.

    (modern literature)(revised)

    Take the mysticism and magic out of Dune, add Starship Troopers minus the feminism, and the anti-white-ism out of A Wizard of Earthsea, and it’s the best moral literature of our age.

    We must rule. The western group evolutionary strategy has been to use Soverignty (aristocratic egalitarianism), Natural law of soverign men, and Markets in Everything, with the Aesthetics of Excellence (personal), Heroism(social), Transcendence (philosophical), To DOMESTICATE the animal man for fun and profit.

    In other words The Gods (Great men) seek more great men to sit at the table with them. Transcendence: domestication, evolution, transcendence.

    (note: all three of these books can easily be edited. Earthsea makes only one reference, Troopers a few, and Dune a theme (looking where none dare).)

    https://propertarianism.com/2015/09/26/as-far-as-i-know-this-is-the-definitive-analysis-of-the-church/—“Curt, I’m sure we can agree to an extent that the adoption of Christianity led to many advancements within European society. I would like to know you’re thoughts on those who wish to see a return to the traditions of pre-Christian Europe. Not only from a religious aspect but from a societal change as well. While some people enjoy the fascinating aspects from a purely historical standpoint of pre-Christian European society what do you think the ramifications would be if such a large change took place in Europe?”—

    Well the change is here. The question is whether or not we do something about it.

    Francisco Antonio: –“QUESTION: How does mysticism compare with pseudo-science?”–

    Example

    1) Mysticism: Supernatural existence,lack of deducibility from testable experience, lack of correspondence, lack of evidence, with anthropomorphic intention, cognitive bias to justify, argument corresponds to previous types of human error. (ex: intentional design) ASSERTION: arbitrary introduction of INTENT

    2) Supernatural existence, lack of deducibility from testable experience, lack of correspondence, lack of evidence, without anthropomorphic intention, cognitive bias to justify, argument corresponds to previous types of human error. (ex: multiple worlds) ASSERTION: arbitrary introduction of EXISTENCE.

    3) the hard one is pseudorationalism, but it basically means artificial insertion of information between the premise and the conclusion. Some people mentioned Kant and Hegel today (kant’s dependence upon the excluded middle is an example).

  • YES THE STOIC REVIVAL IS DETERMINISTICALLY OCCURRING Stoic revival is happening

    YES THE STOIC REVIVAL IS DETERMINISTICALLY OCCURRING

    Stoic revival is happening and can be accelerated. It requires no mysticism, no ‘belief’ (suspension of reason), only discipline. And as such it can be taught as a ‘scientific discipline’, a ‘philosophy’, or a personal religion.

    We cannot hold the ancients responsible for ‘mysticism’ because just as we use pseudoscience and pseudorationalism today they had no other means of explanation available to them

    What’s important is that they attempted to find a way of competing with, succeeding in the world, rather than ignoring it, or escaping it, or denying it – like other cultures did.

    Stoicism is action oriented. it asks you to improve your own human capital (virtues). Through acting. Through gradual achievement. But it allows one to ignore the judgements/opinions of others. That this is simply the internalization of natural law is not obvious.

    yes i think framing nat-soc as a post-mystical religion is correct. Too bad they blew it by seeking a government rather than a church.
