    I can support the christians but I work in the law.
    I dont see the movement ahead of me but I do see it as having large numbers. Whether those numbers matter at all is still a question. It doesn’t appear so.

    (people follow incentives. if an institution cannot produce incentives it fails to produce outcomesand if it fails to produce outcomes then it dies. The church is dying and has been for centuries – very slowly. It can be fixed. But it may require we produce the radical reforms that the church has so far failed to do … since it lost it’s near monopoly control over farm land and it’s role as an allocator of land to the peasantry.)

  • “Q: CURT: HOW DO YOU SQUARE DIVORCE IN THE RELIGIOUS WITH CULTURE IS DOWNSTREAM

    “Q: CURT: HOW DO YOU SQUARE DIVORCE IN THE RELIGIOUS WITH CULTURE IS DOWNSTREAM OF LAW.”
    (TL,DR;Pretty easily – the law created the problem when our religon failed to modernize and the marxist-sequence of pseudoscientific lies took root instead)

    Divorce is the result of changes in legal policy favoring divorce, by elimination of liability for interference in a marriage, elimination of liability for breaking a marriage with no fault divorce, the institutionalization of marriage theft by the pretense of common property, and the involuntary liability of men for alimony, and especially child support, and priority of women in children in ‘environmental stability’ at the expense of quality of life, re-mating potential, and lifespan men, when given female hypergamy, devotion without loyalty, abortion, the pill, the expansion of the white collar clerical work suitable for women, and the expansion of debt and spending due to women’s clerical work, superiority at redundant or repetitive clerical work, and women’s dominance in household spending, debt accumulation, consumption of government resources (produced by men), and far higher participation in voting – all produce the incentive to NOT engage in the principle purposes of monogamy: (a) reciprocally putting the other person first (b) the economics of the division of labor by sexual specialization (c) and the institution of marriage as an economic necessity that defends the polity from the (horrific and endless) consequences of single motherhood.
    (Yes, that is a very long sentence. 😉 )

    The Marxist-Leninist-NeoMarxist-Postmodern-Feminist-Libertarian-Neoconservative-Woke Sequence (MLNPFLNW) or just “Marxist sequence” is an attempt (a succesful one) to destroy every institution of western civilization (‘march through the institutions of western cultural production’) and reduce us to middle eastern low trust and tribalism so that we generate demand for authority which the despotic (feminine authoritarian) seek to impose in the vanity that they know better as a class than the people PRODUCE by together by cooperation by the suppression of authority – and like Christianity before it, is spread largely through young and single women as well as outcast undesirable young men.

    After all, the Marxist Sequence is just the same feminine strategy applied to jewish separatism and christian slave and muslim tribal revolts converted from supernatural causes to pseudoscientific causes – with the feminine, supernatural, and the pseudoscientific claims nothing more than seduction (baiting into hazard) with the (false) promise of freedom from the four causes of the four laws of the universe (scarcity, self interest, natural selection, and evidentiary truth) – Adam may be the source of bad, but Eve like Pandora is the source of evil. Women must feel victimized to pursue their antisocial instincts. Judaism and Christianity and the Marxist Sequence, especially feminism and woke, claim oppression from what is domestication into responsibility for the self, teh private, and the common – a responsibilty that the feminine disposition evades at all costs.

    As for religion the research is clear even if the researchers are fearful of stating the conclusions openly – and instead leaving them only for other professionals to understand: (a) religiosity is a feminine disposition, that requires external reinforcement to suppress natural neuroticism(worry, insecurity), (b) or one that incdreases with one’s reproductive and social undesirability. (c) religious participation as good for children and family is a rational choice. (d) the hierarchy of denominations from fundamentalist to church of england (episcopalians in america) are rough approximations of the IQ distribution. (e) this is why the data is often confusing: participation increases with some basic education and decreases with denomination. It means that simple people benefit most from religion for reasons stated in ‘b’ above, but sophisticated people use religion for it’s external properties such as family, society, and reputation.

    About 20-25% of people are psychologically suitable for religion, with that number majority but not exclusively female. Of the males religiosity provides less competent people with greater psychological confidence than their abilities would otherwise grant them (and it works because acting like a christian is the solution to the hard problem of social cooperation).

    We should expect religion to continue to drop to that level and only mediate by the oncoing decline in IQ due to reproductive asymmetry and immigration asymmetry between the classes massively increasing the bottom and driving down the average.

    Our problem then is modernizing christianity (which does work) into a religion of philosophy (natural law) and a science (natural law) completing the work of Aristotle, Augustine, Aquinas, Darwin and Spencer, by correctly placing Jesus as did Jefferson in his Jefferson Bible as a philosopher speaking in the primitive langauge of the middle east instead of the European, and assisting the primitive people (including women and slaves) in integration into European aristocratic society and economy by demonstrating that they did not need ability, or wealth, or power, but only virtue – by doing no wrong – to produce the common goods the aristocracy produced by their abilities. In other words, jesus gave slaves, the poor, and women and even children a route to status and as a consequence ‘mindfulness’ (peace of mind) that produces extraordinary cooperation within the aristocratic (meritocratic competitive) civilization that was leaving the middle east in the dust of ignorance, superstition, primitivism, poverty, and war.

    Religiosity failed modernity partly because the Catholic Church – far more corrupt than any modern government – failed to reform, causing the Prostestant Reformation; and the Catholic Church failed again in response to Darwin, by not claiming victory: in that there is no difference between the GOAL of Christianity and the scientific (gods language) explanation of Christianity in the science (testifiable evidence) we find in the natural law of cooperation.

    If that had happend, and the church had reformed, then the marxist-squence cult could not have taken root in the academy, and the marxist-sequence academy, couldn’t have trained generations of women and elites (bureaucrats) to seek Leninist and abrahamic and feminine authority – against the natural law – when, if god does exist, that is the law he gave us. Not in the words of primitive men. But in the langauge of his own hand. Written in the very fabric of the universe at every scale from the very small to the very large.

    Most of the Feminine, Abrahamic, Marxist, Pomo, Woke, Left’s work is dedicated to agitating cognitively feminine neuroticism, blame avoidance, responsibility avoidance, and self-regulatory avoidance, by social constsruction of false narratives of oppression in the same civilization that has most eradicated oppression and most extended natural rights – it is only under the feeling of justification of oppression or harm that the feminine mind feels safe in exercizing antisocial antieconomic antipolitical and anticivilizational behavior.

    Europeans practice trifunctionalism, sovereignty, self determination, meritocracy, aristocracy, and impersonal rule of law more so than all other civilizations combined. Yet it is precisely this privilege and tolerance that the opposition (enemy) uses to incite sedition, and treason against our institutions and our civiliztaion by the false promise that the best there is, is somehow worse than every alternative man as or can try.

    Why? The central premise of that Trifunctionalism, sovereignty, self determination, meritocracy, aristocracy, and impersonal rule of law, is the maximization of individual responsibilty to every individual in the polity, enabling us to create those high trust commons others cannot, institutions and industries others cnanot.

    Yet what is the left selling? Freedom from the responsibiilty that made the luxury of their options possible.

    NO NOT QUITE: THE DEMAND FOR RELIGION VS THE WEST
    –“The west tries to master nature. Its enemies try to master minds. The west is lost when they forget the mind is part of nature.”– DontCare

    Interesting. I understand what you’re getting at, but: (

    a) it’s mastery of agency of mind within the limits nature, vs submission to intuitions and emotions in narratives independent of nature..
    (b) the difference originates in masculine (reals, political) vs feminine (feels, social) minds – when we are all somewhere on that distribution.
    (c) where we are all different in our intellectual abilities.
    (d) where we are all different in our age and experience.
    (e) and where religiosity is the product of:
    … (i) indocrination and
    … (ii) dominance of feminine empathizing instead of masculine systematizing.
    That’s the science.

    In other words, we will always need the spectrum because humans are distributed along the spectrum. The west is best under trifuctionalism at providing wisdom literatures across that spectrum:
    Mythology(anthropomorphism, integration),
    … Theology(wisdom, authority obedience),
    … … Philosophy(reason, justification, counsel),
    … … … History(evidence, arithmetic, analogy),
    … … … … Empiricism(correspondence, math, falsification),
    … … … … … Science(testimony, calculus, survival.),
    … … … … … … Operationalism(causality, constructive logic).

    Every step we take forward in that list, causes us to reform the previous step, until all steps are in harmony differing only in the method of conducting the argument.

    In other words we have failed to reform our religion as did Augustine to incorporate greek reason, Aquinas to give priority to science and reason in the material world. We had no Augustine or Aquinas in response to Darwin.

    And so the worst possible religion – the reformation of judaism(outcast rebellion) and christianity (slave rebellion) into the marxist sequence took root: marxism, neo-marxism(cultural marxism), postmodernism(truth marxism), feminism(family marxism), libertarianism(middle class marxism), neoconservatism (upper class marxism), and race marxism(‘woke’).

    The fault is the church for failing to reform. And it’s reasonable given that they had been losing for hundreds of years, and could not and did not learn from Augustine and therefore ‘claim victory’ that the church was right. instead they doubled down on dogma and supersition, and religion is almost gone from europe and heading to under 1/4 of the population in the USA.

    Thank you for (a) the intellectually honest response (rare), and (b) the ‘correct’ preference for the theological narrative as a means of satisfying the human condition.

    It’s very hard for people hold that dichotomy. I do. But it seems too few of us can. 😉

  • THE MEANING OF SPIRIT, SOUL, MINDFULNESS,AND SACRED. The experience of ‘spirit’

    THE MEANING OF SPIRIT, SOUL, MINDFULNESS,AND SACRED.
    The experience of ‘spirit’ has a neurological origin we understand – as does ‘soul’, and as does ‘mindfulness’, and ‘sacred’. We know the ‘meaning’ of these terms and why humans have those instincts (intuitions) and needs (mindfulness).

    Humans have invented a whole series of method of achieving mindfulness, satisfying spirit and soul and the need for the sacred. We are just overly ‘saturated’ in the european christian and semitic religious framework instead of say the pre-chistian greco-roman, or the chinese confucian, or japanese ancestor worship.

    All of these are due to the human debt response (risk), and alienation (being left behind) response. Mindfulness (suppression of neuroticism) must be produced to overcome it as populations increase. It can be done by ritual, private or public, and usually through recitation. But effectively it’s training self regulation in pursuit of mindfulness, so that the spirit (intuition) is calm and confident, and the soul (record of rights and wrongs) do not agitate the spirit.

    The meaning of sacred is that we may not aggress against, impose upon, criticize or ridicule, use or abuse that which is sacred (without univeral punishment for doing so) – meaning we have no right to self satisfaction or expression in relation to the sacred. And this confidence in the absence of self interst creates the sacred, and the sacred provokes the spirit, and mindfulness out of habituation and indoctrination.

    Most means of minfulness achieve their ends by repetitiously training us into non-aggression, norms and traditions(systems of measurement), and tolerance for those sharing the same systems of measurement, thereby reducing opporutnities for conflict,aggression, and most especially retaliation – and the danger to all peoples of any scale of retaliation cyles, and worse, expanding retaliation cycles that lead to civil disturbance and civil war.

    The hard part is coming up with a means of mindfulness that satisfies the masculine and feminine mind, whether child, young adult, adult, or mature in age. And the harder part is coming up with something that isn’t false. Especially when we desire falsehood, magical thinking, and escape from the physical (scarcity), behavioral(self interest), and evolutionary (differences, natural selection).

    The greeks did it with stoicism. The chinese with confucianism. The Japanese with ancestor worship. The indians, and the middle east did it with organized religion. The africans with magical religion. Of these the greek is the least false and most scientific – but also most masculine. Because it maximizes individual responsibilty for one’s mind. HOwever, women evade responsibilty for their minds, and so to a small minority of men. And these people appear to need something ‘magical’ or social as an external force to produce self reguation that they can’t themselves.

    It’s just dog training for humans really.

    And it works.

    Cheers
