  • Why Doesn’t Christianity Always Work Everywhere?

    [W]ell it does really. You can see that everywhere it’s adopted. You will get a better economy. Period. When Christians leave, the economy will get worse. Period. But incentives are incentives are incentives. So non-european countries have serious impediments to high trust.

    1) Authoritarian political orders evolved from dispute resolution such as the irrigation areas of Egypt, Mesopotamia and China. 2) Lack of advanced economies promoting ‘everyone is a customer’ – often in the same places. 4) Diversity and competition too great to overcome. (Levant, Central Asia, Arabia.) 3) Inbreeding and tribal marriage inhibit development of ‘everyone a potential mate, and everyone a potential customer’. 5) Genetic predisposition that evolved under higher selection pressures (group selection rather than individual selection via mating).

  • Explained: The Christian Idea

    [T]he Christian idea is to create high trust by extending kinship ‘love’ to non-kin, by ignoring our animal impulses evolved for status competition and accumulation, thereby reducing the friction of familism, clannishness and tribalism, and increasing the velocity of cooperation.

    By attributing status to the extension of kinship love to non-kin, Christian groups eliminate the possibility of gaining status by ‘cheating’ in favor of the family or tribe. Although this means that many Mediterranean Catholics practice low trust chirstianity by retaining familial insurance and kin selection. While protestant Christians eliminate even familial insurance via the absolute nuclear family.

    This behavior is necessary for the development of an advanced economy. And it separates the west and Japan from the rest.

    [T]his high trust behavior is also the opposite of the Levantine religions which advocate dualist, polylogical ethics by exacerbating kin selection at the tribal level even while eliminating it at the familial level. So we can see lowest-trust Islam, next-lowest trust Judaism, low trust catholicism, and high trust Protestantism. And when we order them this way we see that this order reflects the number of territorial competitors.

    It is also (probably) true that westerners are less genetically biased against outsiders (due to more circumpolar hunter-gatherer evolutionary pressures) and less aggressive (lower testosterone) and more able to take advantage of it (higher average verbal IQ).

    But all that means is that westerners are more fertile genetic ground for extension of kinship love to non-kin.

    The church outlawing cousin marriage in order to break up the great families was equally influential.

    So it is one thing to acknowledge the central subtle principle of Christianity, and to grasp its dramatic economic and political benefits, and quite another to conflate the dogma, rules and justifications as other than primitive law.

  • LOVE DOES NOT MEAN WE ABANDON REASON. IT MEANS WE RETAIN PATERNALISM. The Christ

    LOVE DOES NOT MEAN WE ABANDON REASON. IT MEANS WE RETAIN PATERNALISM.

    The Christian ideal of extirpation of hatred from the Human Heart does not mean that at the same time we abandon reason. To require capital and rule of law and property rights be brought to people in order to improve the objective morality of their norms, rather than people brought to capital, rule of law, property rights and high trust in order to degrade the host’s capital, rule of law, property rights, and high trust.

    (ideas. This is what happens when I get enough sleep) 🙂

    I’ve been working on religion since I think January? Finally making minute progress. I have this feeling that somehow I have to reform Christianity. And until recently I thought that was impossible. But just as we need different narratives for every standard deviation of IQ, so do we need social mythos for every standard deviation in IQ. And while stoicism is a personal philosophy, and law is a political philosophy, Janus is looking much more interesting an idea for a religious philosophy at the moment. Gods speak to us in the language we can understand. To do otherwise would be ungodlike.

  • CHRISTIAN LOVE AND PROPERTARIANISM If you haven’t noticed, I’ve bought the love

    CHRISTIAN LOVE AND PROPERTARIANISM

    If you haven’t noticed, I’ve bought the love thing hook line and sinker. I tell other men I love them on a daily basis. And it’s infectious. We don’t support each other enough.

    Our culture tells us to be stalwart stoic warriors in the germanic tradition. But we no longer have normative means of obtaining positive reinforcement for our actions – thanks largely to feminists.

    So we have to take matters into our own hands. The red pill means not just that we love ourselves, but that we love other men. And tell them so, when they do works in our interest.

    Technically, Propertarianism tells us only to suppress parasitism (free riding/imposed costs). But Aristocratic Egalitarianism tells us to treat with brotherly love, all who engage in abstinence of parasitism, act as sheriff to police it, militia to defend it, and warrior to demand it.

    There is precious little in Propertarianism that was not in Aristocratic Christianity, Mithraism, and the initiatic brotherhood of indo European warriors that led to the construction of the Vedas.

    We are man’s aristocracy.

    Shall we abandon man to immorality?

    Or shall we lead him to universal love and abstinence from parasitism?

    Lets lead.

    They failed.

    We must take back rule.

    Leave them government,

    but take back rule.
