    THE VERB TO-BE = DEITY SPEECH

    —“Kellogg and Bourland use the term “Deity mode of speech” to refer to misuse of the verb to be, which “allows even the most ignorant to transform their opinions magically into god-like pronouncements on the nature of things”.—

    WHY? DO WE TEACH RELIGION? COST AND ERROR.

    – Myth must only be envisioned and accepted.

    – Philosophy must be reasoned and understood to be envisioned and accepted.

    – Science must be measured, reasoned, and understood, to be envisioned and accepted.

    1) Myths are easier to teach than measurement, calculation and reason.

    2) Myths are false in that they are mere analogies, but having stood thd test of time they produce ‘true’ or ‘correspondent’ actions.

    3) it is easy commit error with measurement, calculation, and reason – and hard in myth.

    Why? That which we convey by myth requires only analogy to experience. That which we must measure calculate and reason is de facto outside of our direct experience.

    In other words, there is more falsehood but less error in religion.

    Along the same lines:

    Why do we possess these forms of ethics:

    instinctual, imitated, mythical, virtue, rule, and outcome?

    Answer: Pedagogy.

    Why do we possess fairy tails, myths and legends, history, literature, and philosophy?

    Answer: Pedagogy.

    Why do we teach arithmetic, mathematics, geometry, calculus, non-euclidean geometry, and statistics?

    Answer: Pedagogy.

    Why do we argue with one another using emotive approval and disapproval, morality, reason, rationalism, historical analogy, empirical evidence(direct), economic evidence(indirect), and ratio-operational-empirical argument?

    Answer? ABILITY

    I think what we are seeing is the end to Aryanism masquerading as Christian universalism masquerading as democratic consumer capitalism, advanced under east coast puritanism, jeffersonian conservatism, jewish neoconservatism, jewish libertarianis, jewish socialism. And that we are returning to ‘what works for my people’ world wide. The jews are doing fine by way of white armies. 🙂 Just as whites have done fine by way of underclass armies.

  • ANSWER TO ARAB VIOLENCE – IN ALL IT’S UNPLEASANT TRUTH HOW DO YOU REDUCE CONFLIC

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Td-7bl9jp8THE ANSWER TO ARAB VIOLENCE – IN ALL IT’S UNPLEASANT TRUTH

    HOW DO YOU REDUCE CONFLICT IN THE ARAB AND MUSLIM WORLD?

    1) City States (markets for cooperation)

    2) Forced Reformation

    3) Segregation

    PROBLEMS

    1) Evolutionary Bias (Genetic) favoring clannishness (yes)

    2) Reproductive practices that exacerbate clannishness and lower intelligence. (cousin marriage)

    3) A religion (Islam) that exacerbates the genetic bias, lower intelligence, by persisting ignorance, persisting tolerance for emotionalism and ignorance. Resulting in the inability to produce an intellectual class.

    4) The dependence for masculine status on destructive rather than constructive status signals. Resulting in the inability to form high trust organizations required for the production of complex institutions, norms, services, and products.

    5) Resulting inability to form a middle class, managerial class, executive class.

    6) Flight of the professional class.

    THE RESULT?

    Persistent intellectual primitivism, organizational primitivism, technological primitivism, and biological primitivism.

    THE CAUSAL PROBLEM IS NOT *JUST* BORDERS

    The problem that faces the Muslim world (as well as the south American, and the sub-Saharan African) is that unlike civilizations above 40 degrees north latitude, it has been nearly impossible for warm climates to limit the reproduction and conduct aggressive domestication of the underclasses.

    The Islamic world is ruled by methods necessary for ruling peoples with sub-90 median intelligence, exaggerated aggression and impulsivity, and the consequential illiteracy, ignorance, unavailability of positive male status-signals, familism and tribalism. The Muslims could never form a professional bureaucracy, never form any kind of complex production, and never produce complex thought outside of the Persian consolidation of the empire’s literature, and never form complex multi-part tools or their manufacture.

    AEI REMAINS A HAVEN FOR IDEOLOGICAL PURITANISM

    We have had enough pseudoscience between Hobbes and Adorno. There is no philosophical substitute for the underlying cause of western history, and it’s excellence: the systematic use of the market for dispute resolution: Truth, Testimony, Jury, Natural Common Judge-Discovered Law; the combination of family manorialism, local Manorialism, regional-manorialism (Monarchy), and civilizational manorialism: the domestication of mankind by the systematic suppression of the underclasses through the use of markets for (a) Market for consumption and production, (b) market for reproduction, (c) market for enfranchisement (military service), (d) market for the production of commons (class-based houses of government), (e) and the market for rule (monarchy).

    THE WEST SUCCEEDED FASTER THAN THE REST, NOT FIRST

    1) because market institutions calculate optimums faster than discretionary institutions.

    2) because markets and aggressive use of rule of law (hanging) cull the lower classes sufficiently to eliminate the great damage of the underclasses.

    Why is that so important?Because under the voluntary organization of production (markets), (a) the people that organize social order, commons order, production order, and family order, must possess sufficient capital to cause the voluntary organization of production (b) the productivity that is created by the voluntary organization of production must supply them with that sufficient capital, and (c) the underclasses are more damaging to trust (velocity), organization, productivity, invention, than the most talented are beneficial to trust, organization, productivity, and invention. In other words, the underclasses create greater drag than the middle, upper middle, and upper classes can organize for productive ends.

    WE ARE THE NEW RIGHT

    The difference between the old libertarian and old conservative puritans? That we no longer hold out either (a) the belief that all men were oppressed and desire liberty in creating a utopian aristocracy of everyone – but instead that most men were forcibly domesticated by limiting reproduction and aggressive hanging of 1 in 100 people per year, and those that need further domestication resent it. (b) That majoritarian democracy was predicated on the assumption that men were oppressed and yearning to be free, rather than parasitic and yearning for rents. And that because we no longer hold hope for (a) and (b) that we seek return to the eugenic market order that allowed western man to drag humanity out of ignorance, poverty, mysticism, and disease in both the ancient greco-roman, and the modern anglo-german.

    “Markets in everything” It is the New Right that seeks markets in everything. It’s the old right that destroyed them through utopian optimism in the fight against the recidivism of the dysgenic left.

  • Once we evolved sentience we required a fanciful positive incentive in order to

    Once we evolved sentience we required a fanciful positive incentive in order to deal with the fact that the universe is hostile to us, does not care about us, and will exterminate us in a heartbeat if we cease the struggle.

    And that our collective consciousnesses in each tribe constitute the god we speak to so that together we maintain the illusion that there is some ‘hope’ for us.

    So some cultures look to the past(china, japan), some to the future(the west), and some to fantasy (Islam, Christianity, but most certainly Hinduism), and some to rejection of reality altogether (Buddhism).

    That describes all possible extremes of present-avoidance available to man. I did not say that spirituality provided what is good for man. In fact, other than Stoicism, I think all cults in history are as destructive in some sense while constructive in another (But why does Christianity create prosperity?)

    But they all provide the same escape from stresses in the present through membership in a virtual ‘pack’ or ‘herd’ that we can appeal to through direct subjective introspection of the patterns in that system of thought.

    All of which is largely an external consequence of sentience without the ‘internet’ equivalent of constant communication from mind to mind that seems to occur between pack and herd animals.

    Individual thought comes at a high price.

    As an aside: stress is created by what psychologists call ‘neuroticism’. So some personalities feel this need greatly, and some personalities feel it very little.

    If we combine this with intelligence, we see some people have a trust issue because of dunning Kruger effects (they cannot tell whether someone lies or not).

    So if we combine intelligence vs neuroticism we get a pretty obvious way of graphing different populations and societies.

    Westerners have higher creativity, and this seems to be correlated with the fact that we have higher neuroticism.

    It may be that either higher demand for individualism higher neuroticism or the inverse.
