    LETS GIVE EVERYONE A PRECISE LANGUAGE AND FOR THE DISCUSSION OF RELIGION.

    We have been misled to thinking that ‘religion’ requires superstition. But that idea is a product of the authoritarian dogma created by the church under christianity. It’s simply not true.

    DECONFLATED, RELIGION CONSISTS OF:

    1) Narrative: historical, mythical, supernatural

    2) Metaphysical Judgments: (in many forms)

    3) Group Evolutionary Strategy: (in many forms )

    4) Normative Rules: (in many forms)

    5) Registries of Familial Property (birth, maturity, marriage, death)

    5) Rituals both private and public: (mindfulness in its forms)

    6) Feasts, Sports, Arts, and Festivals:(in their many forms)

    RELIGION ‘WORKS’ BY:

    1 – providing some variation on ‘mindfulness’ in which we can escape the problem of being honest with ourselves independently of all our accumulated intuitions and biases.

    2 – Forming associations between the ‘pack-response’ and group participation, and eliminating the problem of stress from post-tribal life’s lack of feedback, thereby extending trust bonds across kin groups, class groups, and market groups, which decreases transaction costs of all kinds in all walks of life.

    3 – Establishing normative rules for familial and cross familial behavior, that made (and continue to) reduce natural frictions between genetic variations in gender, class, tribe, race that (truthfully) translate in to different demands for association, reproduction, economic cooperation, and rule – and the status seeking that affects each of those demands, dramatically.

    THE FUNCTIONAL PROBLEM OF WESTERN RELIGION

    1 – Separation of education and religion

    …….. – The failure of religions to reform in response to the scientific enlightenment.

    …….. – The failure of religions to reform in response to Darwin.

    …….. – The Academy’s seizure of the functions of the church upon the failure of the church to reform.

    …….. – The End of western separation and competition between Religion and State by the adoption of the synthesis of jewish cosmopolitan and puritan postmodern by the State, Academy, Media complex the current generation of thinkers refers to as “The Cathedral Complex”, or just “The Cathedral” for short.

    …….. – The beginning of state financed New Indulgences (we call them ‘college diplomas’) that promise a middle or upper class level of consumption instead of forgiveness of sins and entry into heaven – when the postwar economic boom that made possible the rapid expansion of the consumer class was just a temporary product of the combined tragedies of the Great European Civil War’s destruction of centuries of accumulated production capacity, plus the destruction of, and delay of expansion of, world production caused by the movement we call world communism (and now, its inheritor, world islamism).

    2 – the academy seized control of the commercial education and the ‘religious’ education (liberalism), but failed to seize familial education – and in most cases, assisted the state in the destruction first of black families, then white families, and now all families, in order to (a) provide women with child care (schooling), force them into the labor pool (feminism), and then consume the entire proceeds of women’s labor so that the war and boomer generation could retire early and lie on the next generation’s labor, and then immigrating third world labor to provide cheap labor (social programs) that cannot replace the prior generation because of lesser aggregate abilities. The family destruction was increased by attempt to create a mobile workflorce and thereby deprive women of the multi-generational support necessary to raise more than one child without exhaustion. And now it is impossible for women to return to child bearing and child rearing because of the tax demands placed upon their earnings by the immigration of underclasses and the dependency of the aged yet healthy enough to work.

    3 – The state sponsored secular ‘religion’ that we currently teach is pseudoscientific (false, and dishonest), where the content of christian religion (the extension of kinship forgiveness to non kin) was ‘true’ but conveyed by nonsense and authoritarianism.

    4 – One of the unstated drivers for the current conflict in america is not just the decline of the white population and the ascent of the colored cities, but because science has caught up and since 1990 has been aggressively disproving the universalist, globalist, equalitarian democratic secular socialist religion. And those who are aware of this are … angry … and full of conviction that their traditions and intuitions were correct. Therefore they feel betrayed and deceived.

    THE WEST HAS ALWAYS BEEN POLYTHEISTIC

    While it is the secret to the west’s competitive advantage, we are sometimes misled by our (false) historical narrative: The west never engaged in conflation, by creating ‘one book’ so to speak. We have always had:

    1) Law (limits) for the Ruling (fathering) Classes,

    2) Commerce (pragmatism) for the producing classes.

    2) Religion (utopianism) for Science / pseudoscience, philosophy / pseudorationalism, and Theology / fraud for the Educating (mothering) classes (church/academy).

    And have always maintained the three estates of the realm using the three methods of coercion

    1) Law/Limits: Force / ostracization from movement/ resources / life itself.

    2) Exchange/Utility: Payment / Remuneration / Ostracization from consumption.

    3) Religion: Gossip / Rallying / Shaming / Ostracization from opportunity for insurance from the tribe.

    THE WEST’S ADMINISTRATIVE RELIGION IS THE COMMON SOVEREIGN INDO-EUROPEAN/ARISTOCRATIC/ANGLO SAXON LAW, AND ITS PRIEST’S ARE OUR JUDGES

    Reason, empiricism, science, and now ‘testimonialism’ (the completion of the scientific method) all evolved out of western empirical common law.

    There is no reason our founding myths:

    1) Homer, takes of kings, princes and princesses: the germanic myths, legends, and fairy tales;

    2) History and the lives of the great thinkers;

    3) the tales of jesus and the saints;

    Cannot be taught as ‘religion’ and their contributions celebrated.

    RELIGION IS NECESSARY FOR EVOLUTIONARY REASONS, BUT SUPERSTITION, PSEUDO-RATIONALISM, PSEUDOSCIENCE, CONFLATION AND DECEPTION ARE NOT.

    THE CYCLE OF REVOLUTIONS (TRUTHS) AND COUNTER REVOLUTIONS (LIES)

    ———————————

    1) REVOLUTION: The invention of aristocracy (horse, bronze, wheel).

    COUNTER-REVOLUTION: organized conflationary superstitious advisory religion.

    2) REVOLUTION: The invention of truth, reason, deconflation, competition.

    COUNTER-REVOLUTION: Conflationary Monotheistic Authoritarian Religion

    3) REVOLUTION: Empricism

    COUNTER REVOLUTIONS:

    – French Pseudoscientific Moralism: Rousseau et al.

    – Russian literary nihilism.

    – German pseudorational philosophy.

    4) REVOLUTION: Science: Darwin (evolution), spencer (operationalism), poincare(mathematical realism), maxwell (electromagnetism), nietzche(restoratino of aristocratic aesthetics)

    COUNTER REVOLUTION:

    – Jewish Cosmopolitan Pseudoscience: Boaz (anthropology), Marx (economics and sociology: cooperation), Freud (psychology), Adorno et al (Aesthetics).

    THE MARKET DEMAND FOR FALSEHOODS

    The pseudosciences, pseudorationalisms, and supernaturalisms are all permanently desirable by the human mind, for both incoming and outgoing functions: (a) we desire the discount on reasoning provided by false certainties, and (b) we desire the discount that the false certainty provides in negotiation.

    In 586 BCE, the forces of the Babylonian Empire conquered the Jews, destroying their Temple and carrying off a proportion of the Jewish population into exile. The captives consisted especially of educated and upper-class people as well as the royal family. This “Babylonian captivity” lasted almost fifty years. In 539 BCE the Persians, under the leadership of the Achaemenid King Cyrus, conquered Babylon, and in 538 Cyrus issued a decree stating that the Jews would be allowed to return to their homeland. Not only were the Exiles released, but Cyrus, and to some extent his Achaemenid successors, also supported the rebuilding of the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem. Cyrus’ policy was motivated not only by his religious tolerance (he also encouraged other, pagan peoples to maintain their own religions) but by statesmanlike wisdom; people treated generously are less likely to rebel.

    But not all the Jews wanted to go home. In the years of Exile, the adaptable Jewish people had established themselves in Mesopotamia, settling there and engaging in business and even politics. Many Jews, while remaining devout Jews, did not go back to their homeland. They carried on their lives in their new home, and as the Persian Empire consolidated its rule, some Jews even rose to high positions of service in the imperial court.

    It was during the end of the Exile, among the Jews now living in the Persian Empire, that the first significant contact was made between the Jewish and Iranian cultures. And it is evident in the Bible that Jewish thinking changed after the Exile. The question is then: are these changes the result of the cultural meeting of Jewish and Iranian thinkers, or are these changes due to the shock of Exile? During the Exile, Jews had to change not only how they worshipped, since they no longer had their temple or the animal sacrifices which had been at the center of their faith, but also how they thought about God. The Jewish concept of God as their tribal protector, who would save them from being conquered or exiled, had to undergo revision.

    THERE IS NOTHING TO FIND IN THE LIES OF THE CONFLATIONARY PROPHETS BUT INFANTILISM.

    —“It seems that, in Genesis, God has legs, and doesn’t know the answers to the questions he asks. It confirms my inclination to the Marcionite Heresy.”—

    There is nothing there to find.

    We have our fairy tales, and myths.

    We have our origin story: the Iliad and the odyssey

    We have books of great literature.

    Books of great ideas (moral literature).

    Books of great history.

    Books of great science.

    Books of great law.

    Books of great war.

    We have imitation of kin for infants.

    We have heroic imitation for children.

    We have virtue ethics for the adolescent.

    We have rule ethics for the adult.

    We have outcome ethics for the mature.

    CONFLATIONARY SIMPLICITY vs DEFLATIONARY COMPLEXITY

    The attractiveness of religious parable is that it’s conflated (all the disciplines are conflated into a single narrative). And the simple beast in each of us prefers to call upon one ‘unit of measure’ (method of deciding).

    But what separates man from animal is reason, and human from man, is deflation: the ability to compare multiple dimensions.

    So while we harbor in us a romantic childish animal that wants to save the burden of learning and cognition by relying on the reductive, conflation of simple ideal types, virtues, and parables, rather than identities, measurements, spectra, equilibria, and models, we merely infantilize ourselves by returning to infantile means of conflationary measurement.

    THERE ARE NO ANSWERS IN THE LIES OF THE CONFLATIONISTS.

    End the lies.

    HEIRARCHY OF MYTHOLOGICAL INFANTILISMS

    —“Serious post time: who is worse, adult Harry Potter fans, or adult Doctor Who fans?”—-

    Harry potter is an adolescent chick cross dressing as a boy reveling in the luxury of attention that all chicks want, but almost never get, while pretending that she doesn’t want it.

    Doctor Who is a traumatized beta cuck that’s seeking salvation by reaching for every life raft of every kind that he can find.

    Manga (Japanese animation) is probably the worst of them.

    Superheroes less so.

    The ancient myths less so.

    The great adventure novels less so.

    The lives of the great men less so.

    I’d have to say that while I love the series, HP is far worse, but that if you cannot incrementally graduate from each then you are simply infantilized by the mythos that you intuitionistically appeal to. So I would focus on explaining to children that damsels in distress get killed – they aren’t saved by friends, relatives, teachers, and magic.

    A real harry potter would be dead in the first book.

    HIERARCHY:

    – Infant Stories.

    – Children’s Stories

    – Manga (asiatic myths are infantile)

    – Harry potter / Dr Who (late childhood)

    – Fantasy (moral responsibility)

    – European Mythology (resistance to the lies of the east)

    – Science Fiction (restated mythology)

    – The great adventure novels

    – The lives of the greats

    – The story of history

    JOSLIN AND DOOLITTLE ON THE FUTURE OF RELIGION

    Curt: I think that the notion of religion in the archaic sense, is probably done forever except for the ‘stupid people’. And just as the current state religion is democratic pseudoscientific, secular, humanism, any replacement religion will require a narrative and inspirational (transcendent or accommodating) that is even more modern. So my argument would be more to focus on festivals and certification rituals, and education, and simply revert to our traditional myths as the basis for our narratives.

    Bill Joslin: I see. Through social rituals and narratives mythos is restored without the need for it to be a conceptual frame for reality. We profit from social function but isolate away the potential for deception-fraud… loose coupling (programming reference) of logos and mythos. That is brilliant.

    Curt: Bingo.
