So I view…

September 5th, 2018 9:47 AM NIETZSCHE VS DOOLITTLE : Critique vs Science. Value vs Truth. Inspiration vs Institutions. I need to address this issue again for the little boys in the audience.

by Nick Dahlheim The whole concept of inter-generational guilt is INSANE and not derivable by law, cooperation, reciprocity… The fact is, human history is filled with violence, terror, slavery / serfdom, war, genocide…these are the norms… The reality: —” 1) conquest and genocide has been dominant for all of human history, and the most influential…

Some of you might have seen my video on Moral Specialization and the Reproductive Division of Cognitive Labor, that addresses how the genders and classes express their reproductive strategies as differences in moral bias (meaning, demand). … and at the other end of the spectrum, on the civilizational scale, please see my video on the…

Shintoism is a natural religion. Classicism was a reformation of indo-europeanism. Stoicism-Epicureanism is a reformation of classicalism. Buddhism is a reformation of Hinduism. Hinduism an evolution of indo-iranianism. Just as zoroastrianism was a reformation of indo-iranianism. Christianity is a heresy of Judaism, and Islam is a heresy of Christianity. All three rely upon the same…

Andy Curzon, (all), —“McGilchrist makes it clear he is content for his thesis to be seen as a metaphor (see opposite). And in that case it is emphatically a metaphor which works. It underpins, validates, explains a whole slew of intuitions about general practice and life which I have felt and tried to express in…
