Religion serves as civic education, and ‘education’ as economic education. If we end the falsehoods in christianity, and restore our church to truthfulness, then we can restore education to the church – and remove the state’s influence from it.

IF YOU REFORMED CHRISTIANITY
If you took all the falsehood out of christianity then what would remain?
– The mass (A lesson, an oath, a feast), festivals.
– The extirpation of hatred from the human heart.
– The exhaustion of interpersonal forgiveness as the optimum group cooperative strategy.
– The demand for personal acts of charity.
If you replace life after death with living a good life, persistence through actions, genetic persistence, and human transcendence of our descendents into the gods we imagine.
If you replace lessons against the aristocracy in favor of diasporic pastoralists, and instead restored our original mythology os the trials of homer.
If you restored the festivals with those of heroes, ancestors and the seasons (nature).
If you add ethnocentrism (the optimum group strategy), government by rule of law and markets in everything (the optimum competitive strategy), and stoicism (the optimum mindfulness strategy).
Then you have a religion free of lies.
Church is a good thing.
What one does there produces mindfulness.
What one learns there can be truth or lie.

STOICISM IS INTUITIVE AND ABSENT ANY WOO WOO.
THE ANSWER TO A BLUE PILLED WORLD
by James Santagata
What is powerful about Stoicism is that forces us to maintain an INTERNAL locus of control along with high agency. At the same time, filtering out emotions by considering what we have rather than what we don’t and aligning with natural law allow us to think, calculate and act in the most efficient, effective manner possible. Conserving energy, creating the smallest emotional wake (for ourselves and others, thus mitigating or eliminating negative 2nd and 3rd order effects) and economizing motion as well as emotion.
What I love about this stuff, is that many of us, me including, stumbled on this, as the only thing that made sense in a Blue-Pilled world- and it is so comforting to say, “omg, this is actually a fully formed philosophy”. BUT we have the added advantage of neuroscience and 2.000 years of accumulated history to take it even further. Love it.
And with microeconomics, and nanoeconomics, and behavioral economics.
We have the Holy Grail.
We can now mathematically model Stoicism and we understand not just ourselves but everyone we interact with, through (as you are wont to say) incentives, we can look at max and min as well as elasticity / inelasticity through microeconomics and with all this granular data, we can look at nanoeconomisc (individual transaction) and then set all this against behavioral economisc / neuroeconomics and see that Stoicism is the way forward and we can improve it Stoicism 2.0 but added a few things and emphasizing a few others.
(Omg, I’m gonna orgasm.)

—“No one sees the terrorist activity of white people around the world”— Waqas Ahmad It’s just 1400 years of islamic death destruction and regression on one hand, and dragging half domesticated animals out of ignorance, superstition, poverty, hard labor, disease, on the other. It’s not complicated. We don’t do terrorism. WE DO WAR, CONQUEST, and EXPLOITATION. Not that it’s a good thing. But we see terrorism as cowardice. —“the pirate of west are notorious for criminal activity . I don’t need to describe them much.”— Waqas Ahmad Absolutely true. No question about it. That does not change the fact that the great civilizations of the ancient world were destroyed by islam and rendered into poverty and darkness, and that those parts of Europe conquered still cannot recover. And that europeans have in the ancient and modern world dragged man out of ignorance and poverty and disease. This is just true. I advocate separatism. walls between our civilizations.
