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.

Religions Narrative
zzzz….. yet another critic who is a product of the postmodern cult academy. —“Evolutionary psychology has very strict rules, and none of this can be said under those rules. “— Evolutionary psychology consists in an operational rational test of the possibility of construction. It is a means of falsification. It is not a science. it is not a formal logic. It is a technique by which we attempt to narrate a plausible history given the difficulty of selecting a subset of information by which to reduce any intertemporal phenomenon to communicable form. I don’t rely on that technique, but on demonstrated behavior documented in the canon of research of differences in human behavior, and use the evolutionary model, almost always with reference to either the other great apes, the domestication of dogs and foxes, the findings of neuroscience, brain science, and cognitive science, and in particular the insights from the study of male and female brain differences at the extremes (solipsism and autism), and the study of male and female anti social behavior at the extremes, and differences in expression of male and female methods of conflict at the extremes, and the differences in male and female conflict-argument. –“Second, humans are no longer under the rule of evolution. We havenât been since the around the time of the invention of agriculture.”– This is false. We have evolved FASTER under agriculture than in prior eras which can be easily demonstrated by the distribution of the adaptation to milk and wheat (or the cabbage family for that matter). The indo european expansion was driven not only by horse bronze and wheel, but by milk tolerance that made 40% more calories available from the same efforts. The opposite is also true: we have produced increases in dysgenia faster during the past 180 years. (which we are not allowed to talk about without moral criticism). The difference between east asian and western european peoples is due to forcible domestication under manorialism, and extreme prosecution of non-conformists which westerners achieved by bipartite manorialism and hanging, and chinese achieved by rice farming and the headsman (the symbol of rule in china was the headsman’s axe – something the Great Khan found amusing apparently.) That said, the fact that an individual can CHOOSE outside of his or her genetic demands, does not mean that people do not by and large demonstrate bias in favor of their genetic biases. This is true in everything from gender brain and endocrine differences, to our personality traits (of which intelligence is one), and –“It also views the past through the presentâs framework of human behavior which is completely inappropriate.”— No it views the past through a deep understanding of human history, particularly economic and legal history – although my specialty was art(archaeology) and military history, I added economic, legal, and intellectual history. And I am still working on the genetic but at present I think I am close enough to current for high level arguments I make. –“… scientist…”–
I write, and am probably at present, by a long shot, the most innovative and current contributor to the scientific method, and without a doubt I can debate that with any person living – easily. NOW IN RESPONSE TO THE NON-ARGUMENT BY ‘CRITIQUE’ You are simply positing what is called ‘Critique” which is a combination of marxist pseudoscience, and postmodern denialism. We know the intellectual history of the argument you make above, and we know why it was invented, and who taught it to you and why. You actually didn’t propose a SINGLE counter proposition. You just proposed straw men. It’s pseudoscience at its best: DENIAL without argument. One of my principle contributions has been to articulate the techniques by which abrahamic-marxist-postmodernist-feminist pseudoscience, sophism, and supernaturalism have evolved and been practiced and the mechanics by which they use false promise (bait), pilpul (sophism), critique(straw manning), and heaping of undue praise (distraction), as a means to produce suggestion by loading, framing, overloading, forcing appeal to intuition and therefore genetic bias. THis is how abrahamic religion and its secular substitutes of marxism (pseudoscience), postmodernism (sophism) and feminism (fictionalism, revisionist historicism, pseudoscience, sophism) have been used to construct counter-rational, counter-empirical, counter-scientific movements in the Ancient (jewish greek revolt against roman evidence, reason and stoicism), Modern (french, german, counter-revolution against anglo empiricism), and Present Worlds (jewish-french-feminist counter revolutions against Darwin et al.) . ( Um. And while you don’t know this, I don’t make mistakes. It’s sort of my job. ie; don’t waste my time. Learn something – even though your genetics, and indoctrination in the postmodern cult, that feeds your genetic bias, will fight it all the way. ) ã -

1) Religious statements are not epistemic (scientific, literal) claims, but risk-survival heuristics under incomplete understanding. Populations with the right risk heuristics survive. Others perish.
2) Christianity has a built-in separation church/state.

Parents follow rituals for the sake of their children. Statesmen follow religions for the sake of their working and underclasses. This ‘sacrifice’ on behalf of those less able in exchange for signals (status) preserves reciprocity (respect for one another).

@nntaleb Does that mean you also believe religion’s ontological claims while participating in its rituals/heuristics? Can the two be separated?

DEEP MEANING
—“Eating the fruit of the tree of “good and evil”, a dichotomy, resulted in the fall of man… Perhaps the fall of man isn’t so much due to acquisition of knowledge but rather shifting the foundation of knowledge from spectra to dichotomy.”— Bill Joslin
“WOTAN IS TO HELP THE MATURING MAN ABOUT IDENTIFYING THE DETAILS AND NUANCE WITHIN THE MYRIAD OF DEGREES FOUND WITHIN THE SPECTRUM BETWEEN THOSE LIMITS.”
—“One of the beauties of operational thought is to exhume oneself from arguments of dichotomies to identifying spectra (the range of possibilities within limits).
Eating the fruit of the tree of “good and evil”, a dichotomy, resulted in the fall of man… Perhaps the fall of man isn’t so much due to acquisition of knowledge but rather shifting the foundation of knowledge from spectra to dichotomy.
There isn’t a good Wotan and an evil Wotan – there is only Wotan whose range of action and experience occurs within a spectra…. Like the rest of us – able to be ultimate asses and wise old silver backs with in one life, body and personality….
And that’s kind of the point. Dichotomies of perfectly good and perfectly bad are only useful to teach children about the tails of a spectrum… To distinguish the tails.
Wotan is to help the maturing man about identifying the details and nuance within the myriad of degrees found within those limits.” —- Bill Joslin
