Lets Give Everyone A Precise Language And For The Discussion Of Religion.
We have been misled into thinking that ‘religion’ requires superstition. But that idea is a product of the authoritarian dogma created by the church under Christianity. It’s simply not true. DECONFLATED, RELIGION CONSISTS OF: 1) Narrative: historical, mythical, supernatural 2) Metaphysical Judgments: (in many forms) 3) Group Evolutionary Strategy: (in many forms ) 4) Normative…
The De-Professionalization of Information Distribution
THE DE-PROFESSIONALIZATION OF INFORMATION DISTRIBUTION Little did they know what they were doing. But by removing the duel, libel, slander, and falsehood from the common law, the state eliminated warranty (skin in the game). And by the elimination of warranty under the law, converted a moral imperative captured in common law, to a moral imperative…
An Objective Analysis Of Cultural Philosophies
Ill give you the objective model instead: 1-utopians(plato)(hindus), The Utopian strategy is train men to be good, so that no conflict need occur. 2-truth tellers (aristotle), The Aryan strategy is to resolve conflicts early and quickly so that they cannot be seized in a moment of weakness. 3-truth avoiders (sun tsu), Sun Tzu is the…
If a God Cannot Be Spokent of Truthfully, then How Can it be a god?
I talk to my god every day. My work is the result of a promise to my god. But like I fight against false statements, false arguments, false promises, and false stories, I also fight against false gods, and the false words of men who create and preserve the false gods. For if god is…
One Cannot Testify to Faith
If you need faith to justify it, then you cannot testify to it. in other words, you cannot claim it is true.
We Will End History As We Started It: With Violence.
(by James Augustus Berens) We Will Bring About The End Of History. Not through submission but through sovereignty. Not through permission but through demand. Not through falsehoods but through truth. Not through discretionary rule but through rule of natural law. Not through majority monopoly ascent but through minority market consent and dissent. Not through supernatural…
Definitions: Decentralization
Q&A: –“Curt, is decentralisation a misnomer?”— GREAT QUESTION: Yes. Decentralization merely refers to redistribution of labor to additional locations without necessarily affecting the methods of decidability and degree of homogeneity. Whereas devolution, disempowerment, and secession are accurate terms since we restore the market and our ability to use it to calculate.
My God is the God of My Ancestors
My god is very simple. He wants the truth. Because truth gives us power over nature, to bend it to our will. And the power of truth over nature is the source of the ascent of our people by transcendence from beast, to man, to human – and eventually, if successful, to gods. Just as…
A Correction of “Truth, Goodness, And Beauty”

We Can Judge The Gods Worthy Or Not
As far as i know, gods, like the rest of the universe, consist entirely of information. They hold, and transfer information. And by information, we mean, influences upon individual decidability. The question is, what is the quality of the information that they transfer? And how do we measure the consequences of the information that they…
The Climate Change Question is a Deception to Distract from the Real Problem: Populations and Energy.
—“Curt: What are your views on anthropogenic climate change?”— The question is not whether the climate is changing (it always does), and not whether we are contributing to it (it seems like we might be), but whether our contributions are meaningful (causing a marginal difference), or whether they are merely noise amidst the normal solar…
It’s Not ‘Bourgeoise To Build An Economy’ You Idiots.
Warriors are cheap because testosterone is cheap. Warfare is expensive. High Art – Monuments, culture, arts – are the result of conquest. So stop wasting my time. Ok? Culture is the result of wealth made possible by the organized application of violence to construct means of production that provide superior technological and logistical advantage. So…
Decreasing The Error, Bias, And Deceit, To Identify Cheaply Opportunities To Seize
The political questions we face are very different if we seek to eliminate error, bias, and deceit, rather than if we seek to identify optimums by which to obtain discounts. People will seize the discounts no matter what. the problem is in decreasing the error, bias, and deceit, so that those opportunities are more readily…
No. Science Is A Moral Discipline Within Natural Law: The Means By Which We Warrant The Truthfulness Of Our Statements.
(Ethelbert, Jesus, and Kant say the same thing) The languages of science(testimony), physical science, propertarianism (social science), natural law (science of dispute resolution), accounting, finance, and economics, (measurement of production), function as the universal language of truth-telling. The discipline of science asks us to warranty that we have performed due diligence on our statements. We…

We always, like children, test one another.Sometimes we find the limits.Unfortunately, the limit in politics is the restoration of violence. But be very careful what you do with that violence. Because men are very aware that the proxy is revokable, and we can return to violence. Politics is a proxy for violence between men. A…
Deconflating Religion
—“Are you using religion and monotheism synonymously now?”—William Butchman I”m trying to de-conflate: 1) Narrative: historical, mythical, supernatural 2) Metaphysical Judgments: (in many forms) 3) Group Evolutionary Strategy: (in many forms) 4) Rules: (in many forms) 5) Ritual: (mindfulness in its forms) 6) Festival:(in their many forms) In other words, conflation and truth from…
Is The Cost Of Entry Into A Religion Acceptance of Falsehoods?
There is a difference between a cost of entry into a religion and the content of the falsehoods in the religion. Many cults do not ask us to pay physical costs, but to deny reality as the cost of entry. In fact, is that not the entire premise of the monotheistic religions? The price of…
The Model Is Information – For All Thought.
There is no steady state. the rules are not stateful, but adaptive. There is no ‘done’. genes and culture and norms and institutions all store past information that we can express when needed. It’s not that we are machines that adapt to a fixed set. but that we store a broad range of possibilities…
War and Motherhood are Unsubstitutable Goods
If you claim you are unique, and your life unique, and therefore of value out of uniqueness, then defense is not substitutable. Period. That’s the end of the free riding on defense, disaster, emergency services. You either fight, restore, and react, or you are a free rider. The problem herein is that women cannot fight…
Religion Is Explicable By Scientific Analysis.
Sorry. Just Is. No Magic Necessary. No Superstition Necessary. No Lies Necessary. 1) myth=history/heroes, 2) ritual=plays/stoicism 3) festivals=sports/holidays/feasts That the ancients used primitive concepts in all walks of life where we no longer do is simply an artifact of the process of accumulating particular rather than analogistic knowledge. What makes people feel spiritual is literally…
Is Male Bonding The Source Of Civilization?
(hmmm… well, lets do a propertarian analysis of that question) —“How do you feel about mannerbunds?”—Harrison Baker Well you know, I tend to stay away from silly terminology and instead make operationally testable statements. men evolved to work in groups of brothers to herd women, hold territory, and kill competitors and take their stuff. this…

DOMESTICATION: The use of institutions to delay and reduce sexual maturity through intergenerational selection. (the reduction of impulsivity – largely through the reduction of testosterone and estrogen.) –vs– INFANTILIZATION: The use of information to delay and reduce cognitive ability – largely through the distribution of disinformation. Today’s youth have been infantilized, and too many are…
