The most important lesson I’ve observed, and perhaps the most important, is that sitting still in church, and the social pressure of sitting still in church, no matter how hard it is, teaches us the meaning of ‘sacred’ which is ‘we have no rights of self fulfillment’. I think it is underrated, how much the respect we demonstrate for one another in religious ceremony translates to how we ALWAYS act in the commons – and I think the loss of this ‘sacredness’ and this training in the ‘submission’ by develops ‘agency’ over impulses such that we do not impose so many costs of self expression (hyper-consumption) on the commons and therefore the polity. You do know what group did this right? What one group undermined it? I do.

IT’S BECAUSE BAD RELIGIONS LIE AND LAG, GOOD RELIGIONS USE TRUTH AND LEAD —“All religions are made up bullshit to control people”—Joanna Hmmm… Let’s look at this: PERSONAL DEMAND . Demand for personal mindfulness . . Demand for interpersonal mindfulness . . . Demand for social mindfulness . . . . Demand for political mindfulness POLITICAL DEMAND .. organization (control, conflict suppression) .. .. vs educate (helpful system of measurement) .. .. .. vs create a polity (helpful system of measurement) .. .. .. .. vs create a justification for conquest (not so helpful) TECHNOLOGICAL DEMAND …Religion (oral parable) is the optimum means of education prior to writing. … … Organized religion (written parable) is dependent upon writing and argument, but not literacy … … … Natural Law is dependent upon literacy, logic and science. CURRENT CONDITION So yeah, but they were the only technology available. We have … Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (Repair) … … Self Authoring Virtues (Stoic Method) (improve) … … … Self Choice (epicureanism – living well within means) … … … … Natural law of Reciprocity, Independent Judiciary … … … … … History, Reason, science, technology, prosperity. CURRENT TECHNOLOGY And we can use: … Heroic History of Western (or man’s) Ascent … … Stoic Ritual, Hero/Saint ‘worship’ (thanks, counsel) … … … Religion: Lesson (history), Play (ritual), Thanks (worship, prayer), Oath(promise), Feast (communal reward), Festival (communal celebration), Sport (community bonding). … … … … Civic Participation: Family, Jury, Commons Production, emergency service production; Hospitaliers Production, and Defense (war) production. … … … … … The Natural Law of Reciprocity, an independent judiciary, and a jury of our peers. REASON … Because we have ancestors worthy of our debt to them, and because we can create (easily) our debt to one another. STRATEGY “Embrace, conquer, and domesticate reality – together – do not cower from it.”
