  • The Aphorism and Riddle: Self Equilibrating Knowledge

    An aphorism is the penultimate device for the parsimonious conveyance of knowledge. The Chinese lack the concepts and vocabulary to produce aphorisms(science) so they produce ‘riddles'(wisdom). But only the far west and the far east have produced the technique of testable statements that produce competition rather than monopoly. The despotic people have developed monopoly, analogy, monotheism and obedience rather than competition and knowledge. I gotta tell you that despite knowing this for decades the time it has taken me to come anywhere close Nietzsche is horrifying. His talent is awe inspiring. But once you understand that this is how ‘it is best done’, at least you know what to strive for.

    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.
