    RE: Religious frame.
    Is the religious frame cause, or consequence?
    I can find no case where it’s not a consequence.
    We justify. Religions justify. We need only decompose and disambiguate what it is they justify. There is nothing good in christianity that was not in greco roman thought, and everything bad in christianity (judaism, islam) is an introgression of fraud into western thought.

    Difference? Western thought began as aristocratic negotiation. Middle eastern thought began as peasant manipulation and organization. So Christianity provided a means by which the slaves, underclass, immigrants, and women could find respect and virtue in ‘doing no wrong to the commons’ versus respect and virtue ‘in doing good for the commons’ that was the principle of aristocratic religion.

    Unfortunately, instead of continuing the progress of the Sol Invictus character that integrated into the model, the Christian (seditious) model that also UNDERMINED the aristocracy, their arts, letters, reason, ethics, morals, religion, tradition, and institutions, and fed the honor of the high cost of military participation that made Rome possible – was a preference.

    So the Jewish Christianity of the church destroyed the ancient world from within just as much as Islam destroyed the ancient world from without.

    Same as today.

    The whole point of western truth-before-face is to teach you to tolerate being offended, so that you cannot easily hold false self-image, status, competency, meritocracy, so that those that possess competency meritocracy can accumulate responsibility so that those who don’t…

    And every development economist knows these people do far more harm than good.

    The only ‘weirdness’ is I’m not sure we can complain about the Christian missionaries. But I”m not informed enough to opine.

  • People wonder why our myths and legends use the metaphor of prince and princess

    People wonder why our myths and legends use the metaphor of prince and princess – because the prince and princess have resources, but are bound by our morals or pay the price. In other words, between our myths, confession(Faith), Oath(commerce), and Testimony (Court) we are trained to, and bound to, truth before face in all contexts.

    Again. Missing the point that Hegel taught the Marxists, like Plato taught the Jews how to reform Semitic pilpul and critique into as aggressive a means of deception as Socrates and Plato an aggressive means of speaking the truth.

    Hegel taught the Jews how to modernize lying.

    You ever wonder if female irrationality, like religious faith that evolved from it, is both absent reason and invulnerable to reason for no other reason than the agitation of males to satisfy female demands on behalf of her offspring, thereby depriving males of reason to argue with them, leaving satisfaction of female wants no matter how absurd as the only means of sex and affection, at the cost of unrelenting female dissatisfaction unhappiness and hyperconsumption?

    That explains quite a bit. 😉 Evolution is a nasty strategist.

    I know.
    Hermes’ cart of lies broke down in the middle east and all the lies were stolen from it. Why?

    There is a reason for the Abrahamic theological method of deceit, and its reformation in the Marxist-Sequence pseudoscientific method of deceit, and the use of pilpul and critique in advocacy and defense of deceit.

    And that is the reason for the low trust, absence of truth before face, and the near absence of scientific, technical, economic, and political innovaton in the middle east – and the diaspora – until integrated into the west, which they struggle to undermine.

    Why do they feel superior in ethics and morality despite the evidence of their absence of truth and cooperation and industry, polity, and institution that results?

    You won’t like this but, while I’m very pro-Israel, I also work on explaining the reasons why Jews are (often justifiably) persecuted, in the hopes that Jewish law, morals, ethics, and culture will adapt to high trust modernity, and Jewish people will self-regulate their behavior, especially their tendency to undermine the institutions, traditions, ethics, and morals of more successful, higher trust polities, and tendency to engage in occupations that profit from baiting into hazard, rather than ‘be the victims of violent regulation by others’.

    So there should be a little less effort in the Jewish community on blaming others for anti-semitism, and a little more effort on ingroup policing against those people in the tribe who generate justifiable anti-semitic incentives by undermining those polities that have developed the capacity to produce defense, commons, and polities that can survive competition for territory and with it, self-determination.

    I say this as someone who has depth of historical knowledge suggesting that ‘it’s going to happen again’ if we don’t collectively solve this problem of integration between old world low trust irreciprocal polities incapable of producing commons, and new world, hight, trust reciprocal polities capable of producing commons.

    Nah, good Christian, nationalist. Ukrainian people having suffered two Russian holocausts, and now a third, and are celebrating their unity in preventing their genocide by one of the worst countries in the world.

    James, (all)
    If you have the option of a religious, philosophical, or scientific explanation of these ‘origins’, then why do you choose the religious and not the scientific?

    We can explain the same behavior (Gnosticism) in the method of the wisdom literature of every civilization. What’s so fascinating about the religious frame? (Same criticism I have of Peterson.)

    We use what we understand, and we understand what we know. Is the religious frame the one you understand? Why wouldn’t you (or anyone) just explain the behavior using incentives – where the method (logic) of a culture’s wisdom literature is just a means of justifying those incentives and objectives?

    The reason I ask is that you’re accusing (correctly) the opposition (and others who failed) of the anti-empirical enlightenment trap, but aren’t you just backdating the same problem to the religious? (yes)

    I’m curious more so than anything else. Partly because there are limits to the frame you’re building just like there have been to the previous generations of thinkers for the same reasons you identify.

    Cheers.

    Speech -> Jewish Law -> [Pilpul, Critique] > Negotiation -> Agreement + Externalities
    Social Consent and Justification of wants (feminine).
    Verbalism.
    -vs-
    Speech -> Greek Law -> [Sophistry, Empiricism, Operationalism, Testimony] -> Argument -> Truth -> Decision + Accounting of Externalities.
    Political Consent and Falsification of alternatives (masculine).
    Empiricism.

    Social Agreement by justification vs Political Decision by falsification.

    Primary reason for Western contribution of the vast majority of human knowledge (~98%) and similarly the near absence of production of Semitic knowledge under Abrahamic religions.

    Middle eastern diversity created and fostered low trust forcing the least confrontational method of negotiation: facelessness where lying and cheating is still admired today.

    Western unity and martial aristocracy fostered high trust forcing truth: “truth before face” where we account for testimony, reciprocity, warrantability, liability, and most importantly externality.

    Specifically, we prohibit baiting into hazard, whereas baiting into hazard is the primary venue of Jewish occupation and primary means of wealth. Whereas westerners favor wealth by productivity.

    That again, these represent the female vs male group strategies is rather obvious
