    2. Current emphasis is on Virtue Signaling and Virtue Signal Spirals, and Virtue Spirals as Conspicuous Consumption. The left is engaged in virtue spirals, and religions have been forever. Females never stop hyperconsumption. Vast majority of charities are virtue systems only.

    @EPoe187 1. Well that’s not quite true. Signaling in biology refers to sexual selection (honest signals), vs say, the lure of an angler fish. In economics reciprocity; in social science, status, fitness, identity. The question is not signaling but SENDING FALSE SIGNALS (LIES). …

  • The Origins of Individualism

    [I] don’t know where that comes from, but as far as I now individualism in the marxist, postmodern sense is relatively recent invention, with the unique western tradition of individual sovereignty under rule of law the origin of what we group under the term individualism. We often conflate that with christian consideration (care) for the individual and christian tolerance for the individual. But we prohibited collective punishment, created law for the individual not family, and created policy for the intergenerational family. Civilizations all talk about their via-positivas but they cooperate by their via-negativas instead. The purpose of a via-positiva as far as I know is to circumvent the via-negativa, and by habituation, remove it from cognition (metaphysical presumptions).

  • The False Dichotomy Of Capitalism vs Socialism is Another Abrahamic Deception

    The Anarchism(impossible) to Capitalism(rule of law universalism) to classical liberalism(rule of law nationalism ) to National Socialism to communism (impossible, universalism) is another bit of sophistry sold by the abrahamic left: whereas the difference is one of rule of law vs rule by discretion. So, as usual in the abrahamic method of deceit, the public is presented with a false dichotomy, between two economic models where all economies are and must be mixed economies, and where the debate is only over the rule of law that forces cooperative solutions , and rule of man, which forces uncooperative solutions. The Romans solved this problem by preserving the senate (aristocracy), and the middle classes (plebeians) during times of market cooperation, and dictators (generals) in time of war. As far as I know there is no better system than authority in war, houses in peace, and redistribution of windfalls. And all of that is possible only when the law is empirical and sacred, and men will willingly kill usurpers at every opportunity.

    Which is wonderful – Depoliticizing of Religion by deconflating religion law, history, and science again, after the monotheistic attempt at conflation. Evolution: Burial/Spirits, Feast/Sacrifice,Ancestors/Seasons, Oath/Heroes, Gods – restoration of harmony from competition.

    So faith (religion/theology), belief(reason/philosophy), experience (sensory evidence/memory), prediction (measurement/science) constitute a spectrum of systems of reasoning we use in order to determine individual and collective(political) actions. A graceful incline and decline.

    @PoseidonAwoke Ok, but I think you’re conflating religious faith (past & fixed) with prediction (Future & evolving ). In other words we must depend upon something in order to narrow the costs our trial and error (oppy.). Using measurement (instrumental and logical) is only means of doing it.

    @curtdoolittle To rephrase : There is more due diligence required around the fundamental understandings of our world. This proposed model of motion through space (a single example of many) requires honest inquiry. To accept it on faith is an act of faith. We need to be skeptical here.
