    to advocate truth he created the first big lie. Yet the value of truth was already known and practiced commonly.

    @BhriguTheBard Again, how can a man claim there is one god and it talks to him, yet not advocate lying? He creates the first Big Lie.

  • The Answer

    (religion) [J]ust because your ancestors valued a particular comforting lie or falsehood is not a reason to perpetuate the lie or falsehood. We are comfortable now with suppressing lies with physical science where were were not so in the past. We are currently uncomfortable with suppressing lies in social science: ethics, politics, economics, religion, and war, but we will not be so uncomfortable in the future. I am almost certain that the gains from ending lies in social science will be as great as those from ending lies in physical science. But I suspect an even greater effort to preserve lies in social science than the effort to preserve lies in physical science. Why? Because the church had only the pulpit, which we eventually defeated with the press. But the Academy has the media, and we are not yet sure that the internet is as capable of defeating the lies of the academy as the book was in defeating the lies of the church. Both have had the same incentives: to perpetuate their income by the sale of forgiveness or indulgences, just as the academy sells the promise of prosperity and diplomas. The monetary incentives of the church and academy are the same. The customer base of the church and the academy are the same. The church sold mysticism for millennia. The academy has been selling pseudoscience for over a century. The way we end the academy’s lies is to defund it like we did the church. The way we defund it is through the same revolution that it took to defund the church. But if we merely shift the academy to something new, just as we shifted the church to the academy, we have only moved to a new problem rather than solving the problem. The answer is to reform the church and the academy so that they sell truths, not lies. Truths in physical science, truth in social science, truth in what is best called ‘spiritual science’: mindfulness. There are many ways to produce mindfulness: from stoic philosophy, to sport, to yoga, to meditation, to the piety and sacredness of commons and ritual, to the creation of arts. The human mind requires mindfulness without the constant peer feedback of the consanguinous tribe. The greater the division of knowledge and labor, the more important is mindfulness for the happiness of the human mind. So it is possible to construct a church, academy, and commons that produces truth in physical, truth in the social, and truth in the mind. We need no lies. There is no excuse for lies. Lies exist to profit only from the loss of others. We can sell truth rather than sell fraud. We can remake the west. Because it is these truths that were the original path of western civilization before the great lies were leashed upon us by the great liars of history. Science: truth in the physical. Nature: truth in the commons Law: truth in the market. Stoicism: truth in the mind. We are the people who invented truth. Truth is our religion. We can return to the truth. End the lies Remake man in the image of gods: truth. Curt Doolittle The Philosophy of Aristocracy The Propertarian Institute, Kiev, Ukraine

    Religion, Ideology, Philosophy, Law. Science A religion consists of a set of myths and rules the purpose of which is to resist outsiders, and to set limits on behavior or to be treated as an outsider and deprived of opportunity and insurance of the in-group. Hence most religions evolve with the weak, who have no means of competition except resistance and exclusion. An ideology consists of a set of ideas the purpose of which is to excite subclasses to act under democracy to obtain political power. Ideologies are used to obtain followers. Likewise followers, follow ideologies. Hence most ideologies if not all ideologies are lower and working class ideologies, and most followers from the lower and working classes. A philosophical system provides criteria for making judgements in the pursuit of preferences. Philosophies are used to obtain peers. Likewise peers seek philosophies with which to pursue preferences together with their peers. hence all philosophies are class philosophies, and most philosophies are middle class philosophies. A scientific system provides for making truthful (true) statements for the description of operations (transformations instate). Scientific systems are used to decide, create, invent, and to provide power over nature and man. Hence, science . Hence science is a largely professional or upper middle class philosophy. A legal system provides a means of resolving differences so that a group can cooperate in the production of generations, goods and services. Legal systems are used to rule others. But require strength to enforce. Hence most legal systems are the product of the upper classes that rule by force, and make use of scientific, philosophical, ideological, and religious systems to speak to classes while ruling them with law and violence. War is a scientific not emotional process. It is only the men at the bottom who need inspiration. And it is the foot-soldier at the bottom whose tenacity most determines a battle. So the relationship between the top and the bottom is necessary, and this is why non-martial polities cannot compete with martial polities – we fight together even if we conceptualize differently.
