  • THE THREE AXIS OF DEMAND FOR THE THREE FICTIONALISMS The Three Fictionalisms: Ph

    THE THREE AXIS OF DEMAND FOR THE THREE FICTIONALISMS

    The Three Fictionalisms: Physical: Magic->Pseudoscience, Verbal: Idealism->Sophistry, Imaginary: Occult->Theology

    SUPERNATURAL SUBMISSION

    1) If you need supernatural mental sedation in order to have confidence in your thoughts, words, and deeds, then I understand that uncertainty is burdensome for those with higher neuroticism (worry).

    I understand that in economic terms you are seeking to acquire mindfulness, and have little or no control over this psychological demand. Likewise I understand that some of us do not.

    The fact that fulfilling that demand can ALSO be the demand for means of dominance expression despite one’s lack of agency, is the more accusatory theory. The difference is only whether you’re insecure in the self, or insecure in dominating others. But these are the two motivations for fictionalisms.

    SUPERNATURAL DOMINANCE

    It is very hard for females to find mindfulness without sedation of social insecurity and it’s hard for males to find mindfulness without sedation of dominance insecurity.

    There are males with female cognitive bias, and females with male cognitive bias, but we can fairly readily (as in this case) determine which defense people are resorting to theology to sedate.

    PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE

    3) There is also however, a universal truth that all of us merely find comfort in the social and private rituals. For me, and for the greeks, the host of temples, the play, the jury, the senate, sport, war, and festival (markets) functioned as church (monopoly). But these people do not argue security(defense), dominance (offense), they just say the truth “it’s probably nonsense it makes me happy”.

    ( And it should be obvious that I satisfy my dominance expression in knowledge, business (wealth), and natural law – all of which are true – I don’t resort to fictionalisms. )

We don’t understand the threat: Abrahamic Deceit is as advanced a technology as is Aristotelianism, and judaism and Islam advanced technologies of decivilization. https://t.co/GVRgFZG5PE

    ROMAN AFERLIFE

    Much more like ghosts. This is our natural religion in both pre-IE and IE eras. The Underworld. We are not promised anything per se. It is more that if our wishes are not repected, our ghosts will influence the lives of the living unfavorably.

    In other words. “debts”.

    Religion is debt.

    Why?

    Morality is debt.

  • WHAT DO PAGAN(ANCESTOR) AND HEATHEN (NATURE) RELIGIONS ASK OF US? The only thing

    WHAT DO PAGAN(ANCESTOR) AND HEATHEN (NATURE) RELIGIONS ASK OF US?

    The only thing heathen (nature) and pagan(archetype) religions ask of us is to acknowledge debts of our inheritance so that we pass that inheritance ‘unspent’ on to others.

    The rest is an excuse to find relaxation, comfort, entertainment and and joy with others in some activity other than running, hunting, or eating.

    What you call spiritual is the result of two biological processes.

    The first is just auto association that is constantly going on in your brain. The human part of our brain never stops, we merely regulate attention or wakefulness to increase or decrease its activity – but it’s always working even in sleep. If It is always engaged in transforming perception into a world model, predicting from that world model, focusing our attention to narrow on some prediction or other, or when not doing so, it’s in continuous rehearsal of short term memory to convert it to long term, and auto association of stimuli to find opportunities.

    Auto association is like daydreaming. It’s cheap. It’s relaxing. While thinking, reasoning, calculating, and computing with reason is expensive and hard.

    The second is the old brain constantly worrying about (calculating) social status, advantage, safety.

    So the experience we call spiritual is the ritual act of sedating the auto-association function of the brain (which is very deep in the bottom center, so that it can fucking relax, and we can feel the safety we feel resting or sleeping with the well fed pack of males (herd of females).

    Meditation can do this, ritual can do it, prayer can do it exercise can do it, dancing, singing, any group activity that doesn’t force you to calculate status and hierarchy can do it.

    That’s all it is.

    A purely mechanical process by which we manage the primitive parts of our brain that evolved prior to reason, and that we gracefully fall back upon when we don’t want to think very hard, or cannot solve a problem, or must act rapidly by instinct.

    Now how does abrahamic religion work? It creates a false debt to a false god, for false crimes, and asks for us to submit and surrender our reason aspiration and transcendence and instead to ‘stay in place’.

    So if you wish to worship your evil semitic gods, whose sole purpose is to prevent you from transcendence of man, rather than just to use Jesus as another philosopher that is fine. But for the rest of us Jesus is just another philosophy, and gods are archetypes of our ancestors, and all those archetypes serve as proxies that we can through prayer (conversation), communicate with and obtain wisdom from.

    (Pissing me off again.)

    Religion is the means by which we educate the intution in the group’s social strategy, through storytelling, and ritual, in groups, where we are most open to trust and subject to suspension of disbelief. This technique works just as do feasting, singing, dancing, games, sports, marches, drills, concerts, juries, senates, fireside storytelling, and bedtime stories, and pillow talk. It trains us to feel safe with one another despite our relative anonymity, alienation, and irrelevance to the herd.

    Never, ever bring faith to court. Never ever bring faith to science. Never ever bring faith to war. Faith is for the shared hallucination produced by sharing a ritual, in which we abandon reason and experience the safety and mindfulness of running with, feasting with, celebrating with, and resting with – the pack.

    It works. It works because it does not require reason. Instead we try to develop excuses for what it is rational. These are all lies. Faith works because training us in mindfulness in a civilization so alienating by sheer numbers anonymity, and division of labor and power distance we must find some way of liberating the mind from trying to calculate a relaxed, comfortable, safe, secure, successful, method of cooperating with others by means of IMITATION (training). Just like we teach a dog to walk with us peacefully. It’s no different. We are just another mammal. And the more ‘sensitive you are’ and the more ‘threatened you are’ the more you require this mindfulness.

    Never ever ever confuse faith(wisdom) with truth(testimony). We have at least three competing priesthoods: the scientific(material-physical) and legal(social and political-intellectual), and the spiritual(personal-emotional). There can be no right to falsehood in the material or rational. And It is right to criticize christians who invade the material or political with the spiritual. It is right to criticize the law for invading the spiritual.

    Christianity was semitic religion of semitic people for a very long time before it was forced upon Rome, and the christians destroyed by intent, and by design, all knowledge, all temples, all civic life, all education, as a means of preventing the restoration of aristocracy, reason, and agency, for the same reason the french, germans, and jews have resisted the British restoration of aristocracy, reason, and agency.

    Christians imposed submission(ignorance) upon the Cult of Non Submission (agency).

    There is no difference between judaism christianity and islam, in the destruction of the ancient world, and judaism marxism, postmodernism, feminism, and denialism in the present world. It is the same technique of undermining masculine aristocratic, meritocratic, heroic, military civilization by undermining with false promise using the addiction of mindfuless and false status.

    We domesticated christianity from a sick twisted deceitful corrupt semitic attempt to destroy western civlization and keep it in subjective ignorant semitic poverty. To domesticate it took a more than thousand years, and four great wars, and millions of dead. and we have still not escaped judaism and islam.

    That there is some good in christianity is true – because there is some good in all escapist religions.

    To say that it was not the worst plague against western civlization is simply false.

    So, you want to ‘socially construct a supernatural fantasy world over which you believe you have comprehension and control’ Just like the marxists, and postmodernists want to construct a pseudoscientific fantasy world over which they believe they have comprehension and control.’

    The concept of postmodern ‘social construction’ is just the abrahamic technique stated in descriptive terms. There is no difference between stating women are equal to men, poverty is escapable in equality, and there is an omniscient and omnipotent supercreature. These are just stories for teaching children, that you have not grown out of.

    Never ever come before the court with faith. And we will not come before the faith with court.

    You have chosen childhood.

    We have chosen parenthood.

    You must be ruled.

    Do you understand yet?

    Don’t waste my time.

    Go fundamentalist if you must submit, go catholic for natural law and the pretense of reason, orthodoxy is best because it is apolitical, and strong – or join the rest of us in restoring our natural religion of aryanism, paganism, heathenism – with a nod to the nazarene’s request for love of the weak – in the love of nature, of our ancestors, of our heroes, and take on the challenge of transcending man into gods, through the continuous production of agency, through continuous competition, by continuous trial and error, in the face of ignorance and uncertainty.

    You may follow our transcendence.

    But you may not interfere with it.

    That is the purpose of the enemy.

    The gods of the european peoples ask us to join them.

    The god of abraham is the devil to keep us from it.

    That is the evidence.
