    There are profoundly moral men in this world, and in every race, civilization, religion, and ethnicity. It is just very hard to find them. Got a chance to touch base with Rabbi Daniel Lapin today quite by accident, and felt inspired by it.
    Most of my friends are moral absolutists. But they share the charity of hope for those who are not, or not able to be.
    It’s good company regardless of background. 😉

    FWIW: Judaism in its best form like christianity in its, is a social and familial cult (bottom up) of women and slaves, while europeanism is a military and political cult (top down) of men and the strong. Brad and I explain this competition as the masculine-feminine vacillation in political expression and that we should learn from both and apply both accordingly.

    The natural law is a via negativa. Christianity is largely a via positiva. Most religions contain both. There is something to be learned from each of the major religions. And something to be learned from their differences from europeanism. The primary difference is scope of responsibility and presumption of agency necessary to bear that responsibility.

    Rabbi Lapin. Just taking a moment to send love, admiration, respect, and thanks for all you have done for us. You’re still one of the men of greatest virtue I have ever known (despite your predictable humility in response to such a statement.)

    Steve is correct:
    –“A study about 30 years ago suggested Episcopalians score similar to Jews on the SAT.”–

    The other reason is catholic guilt from dogma not the bible, and subsequent idealism and sensitivity to ethics, combined with protestant work ethic. An overly reductive statement with more than a grain of truth to it.

    The correct answer is that Peterson does not want or need faith. However, he would not deny others faith or it’s benefits to the faithful. In his debates he is defending those who who want or need faith.

    (NLI, Choice Words)
    From Volume 1, The Crisis of the Age, Chapter 35.

    –“Democracy as Surrogate Religion for the Irresponsible
    The problem with universal democracy is not merely its structure—it is its substitution. Democracy today does not function as a system of self-governance by the responsible. It functions as a surrogate religion for the irresponsible.
    Religions evolved to provide epistemic and moral structure to those who could not produce it on their own. They reduce moral complexity to heuristics, encode constraint in taboo, and outsource judgment to myth. They were essential under conditions where few had the luxury—or capacity—for self-regulation.
    Modern mass democracy has replicated this structure. It promises salvation through voting, status through opinion, and moral vindication through policy identification. It replaces demonstrated agency with ideological sentiment, and substitutes belief in process for demonstrated consequence.
    When responsibility becomes unbearable, people seek relief in ritual. When agency becomes impossible, they seek dignity in myth.
    Democracy, in this form, is no longer a means of governance. It is a system of moral anesthesia—numbing the population to its lack of consequence-bearing by offering simulated participation. The ballot box becomes the altar. The party platform becomes the scripture. The voter becomes the believer.
    This is not accidental. It is a functional adaptation by the polity to include those who are otherwise disqualified from reciprocal cooperation: those without kin, cost, stake, or contribution. Rather than exclude them as dependents, the system integrates them as believers. But the price is decidability, constraint, and ultimately, governability.
    The problem is not that democracy permits the people to rule. The problem is that it mythologizes rule where there is no responsibility, and in doing so, it converts governance from a system of reciprocal enforcement into a theater of moral performance.
    Where law once governed behavior, belief now governs perception. And belief requires no evidence—only belonging.”–

    What Is Abrahamism—and Its Effect on the Modern World

    Abrahamism is not merely a category of monotheistic religions. Within the Natural Law framework, it refers to a civilizational strategy and grammatical structure—a method of group evolutionary warfare using false promise, moral inversion, and epistemic suppression to undermine truth, sovereignty, and reciprocity.
    Abrahamism is characterized by:
    • Pilpul (via-positiva) – Obscurantist rationalization, verbal lawfare, sophistry.
    • Critique (via-negativa) – Undermining institutions via guilt, shame, ridicule, rallying, and moralizing (GSRRM).
    • False Promises – Offers of supernatural salvation (heaven, paradise), utopia (communism), or liberation (equity) without reciprocal duty or empirical warrant.
    • Moral Hazard – Encouragement of behaviors that impose costs on others while evading liability or testifiability.
    It functions by inverting European aristocratic (sovereign) morality into a universalistic morality of submission, victimhood, dependency and herd compliance.
    Abrahamism unfolds as a civilizational arc of parasitic adaptation:
    1. Judaism – Deconstruction of host institutions through internal legalism and tribal loyalty.
    2. Christianity – Globalization of submission through moral universalism and false transcendence.
    3. Islam – Demographic and institutional conquest through totalitarian submission.
    4. Marxism – Secularized salvationism: replaces God with History, sin with inequality, salvation with revolution.
    5. Postmodernism – Epistemic nihilism: denial of truth, objectivity, and decidability.
    6. Feminism – Weaponization of female conflict strategy (GSRRM) against institutional responsibility and male sovereignty.
    7. Wokeism / Race MarxismFinal terminal form: intersectional grievance stacking, collective guilt assignment, and total institutional inversion.
    These phases are not religiously distinct but grammatically and functionally identical: they are evolved forms of the same strategy, optimized for changing sociopolitical conditions.
    Doolittle defines Abrahamism not strictly as religious doctrine but as a grammatical structure: a way of speaking, thinking, and organizing belief that evades falsification and reciprocity. Its core traits are:
    • Narrative over evidence,
    • Moral coercion over legal reciprocity,
    • Irreciprocal promises (heaven, utopia, equality),
    • Suppression of criticism via guilt, shame, and accusation.
    This grammar begins with Judaism, is universalized in Christianity, militarized in Islam, and finally secularized in Marxism and its derivatives.
    Marxism retains the structure of Christian redemption:
    • Sin → class hierarchy,
    • Salvation → revolution,
    • Heaven → classless utopia.
    But it replaces God with History, the Church with the Party, and priests with intellectuals. Its function is identical: to undermine reciprocal hierarchies through false moral and material promises, using guilt and moral outrage as weapons.
    Postmodernism completes the Abrahamic sequence by attacking truth itself:
    • It denies objectivity,
    • Rejects decidability,
    • Substitutes feelings for evidence.
    Feminism weaponizes female reproductive strategy (GSRRM: guilt, shame, ridicule, rallying, moralizing) against male sovereignty, merit, and institutional responsibility—further undermining group coherence and adaptive norms.
    Abrahamism, in both its religious and secular forms, has:
    • Truth Collapse: replacing testimony with narrative, falsifiability with emotion.
    • Institutionalized Ignorance, by making falsehoods sacred and immune to criticism (dogma).
    • Moral Inversion: making parasitism a virtue, and responsibility a vice.
    • Eroded Agency by teaching submission rather than sovereignty.
    • Institutional Subversion: from law to media to education—all inverted.
    • Dysgenia: suppression of high-agency reproduction, incentivization of underclass expansion.
    • Replace productive hierarchies with persuasive ones: from aristocracy to priesthood, from sovereignty to dependency.
    • Civilizational Incomputability: eliminating means of group coordination via truth, reciprocity, and law.
    The result: an unadaptable, fragile civilization consumed by internal noise and parasitism.
    Abrahamism is a technique of civilizational warfare disguised as religion or ideology. Its primary function is to disable adaptive social orders (truth, law, sovereignty) by disarming the masculine, aristocratic, and reciprocal logic of Western civilization, and replacing it with submission, dependency, and untestable moralism.
    The modern world suffers from Abrahamism not just as theology—but as its metastasized secular successors: Marxism, Postmodernism, and Feminism. Together they continue the same war on truth, agency, and reciprocity, now using the institutions of state, media, and academia.

    Abrahamism is the most destructive force in human history, more catastrophic than the Black Death or total wars. It is not merely a belief system but a technology of civilizational regression—subverting empirical law, eugenic evolution, and productive civilization in favor of parasitism, submission, and decay.

    Abrahamism is the single most catastrophic civilizational strategy in human history. Its religious roots (Judaism, Christianity, Islam) laid the groundwork for its secular metastases (Marxism, Postmodernism, Feminism, Wokeism). It evolves by exploiting our tolerance, our institutions, and our technologies—always disabling the reciprocal logic that makes civilization possible.
    What began as religious submission ends in civilizational suicide. Its final forms—wokeism, race marxism, and institutional feminism—represent a complete inversion of reality, morality, and law. These are not ideologies—they are weapons.

    In Doolittle’s terms: “There is no greater crime in human history than Abrahamism… No greater source of war, murder, ignorance and deceit”.

    I dunno. I am old enough that I have watched the impact of education and the internet and, and I am watching the conversion and abandonment data. My view is that if islam has the reformation you mention that it can achieve parity at least with india. But i mean, i study this subject in painful detail, and an 84IQ population without really good secular government is going to have a very hard time. India is at least partly indo-european just like Persia used to be. And they have a c ulture that is far superior for the purpose of modernization.

    SO I’ll hold out hope. 😉

    –Q:”How come in the early modern or medieval period the Muslims routinely outcompeted the Hindus in most fields whether militarily, conquering most of India, culturally or economically. When the British conquered India they preferred working with Muslims, seeing them as more advanced.”–@whatifalthist

    Answer: (Despite I assume you know this) 😉
    –“Post-1947, India’s stable democracy, economic reforms, and investment in education enabled it to outpace Pakistan, which faced political instability, limited industrialization, and security challenges.”–

    This same argument applies to almost everything in the muslim world after the Turk’s conquest of Byzantium. Islamic civ started it’s decline in the 10th century with it’s switch to fundamentalism. Even though, Islamic civ was sufficiently organized for small organizations and their trade even over distances, and for agrarian production. And their use of gunpowder put the indians at a disadvantage. But, the absence of (rejection of) literacy, the low trust society, the inheritance laws, and the inability to form corporations – or any organization of scale – was out competed by the indians in no small part because as subject of british rule they inherited and applied much more advanced systems of government which made the opposite possible, and combined it with slow but successful expansion of education even despite the IQ distribution from northwest to southeast.
    Islam is as cognitively and political deleterious as the pseudoscientific religion of the marxist socialist sequence is economically deleterious.
    In fact, while Iran, Russia, and china continue to try to preserve the prewar centralization of power and government as a profit center for leading families, the only remaining threat to the world is Islam. The fact that we don’t admit it and only seek to outlast it under the presumption that it will reform is merely a convenience not a conviction.

    How come in the early modern or medieval period the Muslims routinely outcompeted the Hindus in most fields whether militarily, conquering most of India, culturally or economically. When the British conquered India they preferred working with Muslims, seeing them as more advanced. It was widely assumed at the time of independence that Pakistan would outpace India but the exact opposite has happened. Now since 1947 the Hindus have outpaced the Muslims of the subcontinent in nearly everything. Why did this happen?
