    CHRISTIAN TOLERANCE AS FREE RIDING – FAILING TO PAY FOR THE COMMONS

    —“In my estimation, most of what passes for Christian ‘turning the other cheek’ in our time is just cowardice and or weakness and decadence. Its the indecision that people like Joslin have recently written about… the inability to act. In order for such to be a truly valid moral action it would require strength of character and a context in which it was appropriately enacted leading to the betterment of relations between individuals and not just apathy or passivity on the part of the restrainer for evil others benefit.”— Chris Novalis

    UM RELIGIOUS NARRATIVE (Supernatural) > SOCIAL CONSTRUCTION (Sophism) > GENERATIVE ANTHROPOLOGY (Pseudoscience) = LIES AND MORE LIES

    The Weak Lie, the Able Trade, the Strong Rule.

    Let me help you. Postmodern social construction is a fashion statement. Generative Anthropology is an updated fashion statement. Both describe the same phenomenon: if we tell enough lies, people may in fact behave according to those lies. And while this may produce some sort of political advantage for that category of people who can do nothing but resort to lying (priest, intellectual, media, politician, salesman) because they possess no value in production or trade (truth), or violence or law (truth). So no, nothing novel there. Just another attempt at handwaving. These clowns took a few keywords from Chomsky, who took his idea from Turing, and restated Social Construction. And social construction is just a secular attempt to undermine western civilization by producing a canon of lies, the way abrahamic theologians succeeded in destroying western civilization with a canon of lies.

    More of the same. the weak lie, the able trade, the strong rule.

    The liars have three techniques: Supernatural, Sophism, and Pseudoscience: the vernacular of the weak, unable, and immoral.

    Took a lot of time to kick the muslims out of Spain, and the Ottomans out of the balkans, and it took the Inquisition to find the holdouts. It’s the same process this time around. Except more enjoyable.

    DECIDABILITY, MYTHOS, AND THE LAW

    (the demand for national mythos)

    Um. when the atheists attack mythology – abrahamic or otherwise – they do not specify the means of graceful failure of decidability that mythos provide. That’s why one needs a founding mythos. Because there must exists some means of decision making in the absence of knowledge.

    Hence why I argue for Self Authoring in the Virtues, and for the western historical ‘mythology’ of transcendence (progress into godhood). But what do we teach as decidability?

    One needs an aspiration or it is impossible to construct a complete set of decidability. (really. It is. Sorry).

    However, with that aspiration, the law is enough. The law brings us transcendence into gods, and into mystery of the universe.

    The law is enough because it will produce transcendence. transcendence likewise will produce the law. So whether bottom up or top down we produce the combination of the law, ascendence, transcendence.

    The Natural Law. The White Law. Reciprocity, and a canon of precompiled arguments for nearly every category of human decision making.

    THE GREEK CIVIL RESPONSIBILITY NOT PERSONAL RELIGION

    In his book on the subject, Did the Greeks Believe Their Myths?, Paul Veyne writes:

    —“Myth is truthful, but figuratively so. It is not historical truth mixed with lies; it is a high philosophical teaching that is entirely true, on the condition that, instead of taking it literally, one sees in it an allegory.”—

    THE GREEK UNDERSTANDING OF GODS

    —“Homer and Hesiod have attributed to the gods

    all sorts of things which are matters of reproach and censure among men: theft, adultery and mutual deceit.

    But if horses or oxen or lions had hands or could draw with their hands and accomplish such works as men,

    horses would draw the figures of the gods as similar to horses, and the oxen as similar to oxen,

    and they would make the bodies

    of the sort which each of them had. (frag. 15)”—Xenophanes
