    So as far as I know, it’s acceptable to the rest of us if you preserve your sophisms and supernaturalisms, if it sedates you such that you have enough mindfulness to survive a world uncaring of you – or anyone else.

    @freedomismoral But in matters of argument, competition, conflict, or ir-reciprocity(criminal, unethical, immoral) your imagination makes no difference. Lying to yourself makes no difference. Lying to preserve a delusion makes no difference. Only action does. And actions demonstrate truth.

  • Reducing the Cannon of The West to A Bible

    [T]he west never had a bible, but a canon, and that canon was written in multiple frames although primarily scientific, legal, philosophical, normative, literary, and theological. While we traditionally had rule of law beyond which no leader may tread, we allowed liberalism (even classical liberalism) to violate that traditional law. Philosophy, theology, tradition, are just narratives that explain a group strategy in a grammar of wishes. Law is the evidence of what actually occurs, not what is wished for. Our Founding Fathers, through generations of the English civil wars, sought to reduce that canon to constitution. But they lacked the skill we developed in the 20th because of programming, the sciences, and the collapse of the philosophical program (yes). They were successful despite those weaknesses as long as the heroic narrative of the revolution persisted, or what the founders said was dependent upon the moral teachings of the church. The failure of the church to reform in the face of Darwin and the sciences, the replacement of the church with the academy, the capture of the academy by the immoral left, combined with Anti-whiteness, under guise of privilege, colonialism, and slavery (not unique to whites at all) provided the means of undermining that narrative, and So we must complete the Greco-roman-germanic-anglo-American research program and produce that bible in the form of a constitution such that no narrative can undermine it, without causing our retaliation. We need to create the white law – a rational, scientific, western competitor to Jewish law and Muslim sharia. A strict construction from our founding differences: sovereignty and reciprocity, truth and duty, judge and jury, heroism and excellence, family and commons, and the market for voluntary cooperation in all walks of life – that together produce the social political and economic order most rapidly open to adaptation and innovation. We need a constitution and a law closed to interpretation open to innovation, but beyond which no man, private, public, or foreign may tread. Heroism and excellence, Sovereignty, Reciprocity, Truth, and Duty, Judge and Jury, and markets in all aspects of life: association, cooperation, production, reproduction, commons, polities, and war. That is the secret to western civilization. Sovereignty.

  • Evolution vs Intelligent Design (Core)

    EVOLUTION VS INTELLIGENT DESIGN (core)

    —“Are you saying you support Darwanism over Christianity or intelligent design?”—Mark E. Haney

    1 – I cannot falsify evolution and every single evidence from the fundamental structure of the universe to the imagination of man is a product of a very small number of possibilities in very great permutation, just as limited numbers of sounds, characters, and numbers can be arranged in infinitely complex permutations. 2 – The five rules of christianity are, logically, rationally(incentives), scientifically(empirically) the optimum prisoner’s dilemma (trust building) strategy, and I cannot falsify either or their relation. There is a reason christians are wealthier than competing cults. 3 – Information can only be stored in some memory or other, information stored must be abstracted (generalized) in order to consume less calories and volume that the original matter and its changes in state over time. I cannot falsify that statement – it’s a physical and logical impossibility. As to what I ‘Support’: I support truthful speech. Truthful speech can only consist of what I can testify to. I can only testify to that which is: – categorically consistent – Logically consistent – empirically(observably) consistent – operationally consistent – rationally consistent – reciprocally consistent where – parsimonious – scope consistent – and fully accounted – within stated limits and where – due diligence has been demonstrated, and where – one’s statements are warrantied by restitution if one errs. I cannot testify to anything other than. 1. Realism, 2. Naturalism, 3. Operationalism Nor can anyone else.

  • Immateriality of Gods.

    IMMATERIALITY OF GODS. The Four Reasons Are 1. God’ssilence, 2. God’sinaction, 3. the lack of evidence, and 4. the universe looks exactly like a godless universe would, and not at all like a Christian universe would, even down to its very structure. Of course this is true if you think gods are material beings. If instead you think gods are software distributed in the minds of all of their worshippers, producing synchronicities because of the software, then that’s quite different. You see, I talk to my gods all the time, but I don’t have to imagine them as supernatural because I understand that they exist as information and information hosted in a vast distributed computing network called ‘worshippers’ who pay debts to these gods (thanks) in exchange for wisdom and the consequences of wisdom obtained from their counsel. Gods exist like numbers exist. They do not exist in supernatural form. THey’re just information. And that is enough.
