Christianity Was Never a Perfect Fit for Us
Oct 23, 2019, 3:13 PM —“Protestantism happened because christianity was never a perfect fit for us. The normal evolution of our civilization was disrupted when we encountered civilizations more developed. We had writing and metallurgy, but our stories and myths hadn’t become a codified law and spiritual system. It’s time for us to do this;…
Just Ignore the F-King Crazies
Oct 23, 2019, 3:25 PM I don’t try to understand whacky behavior. I limit myself to understanding whacky arguments that poison the well so to speak. Some people are circumstantially crazy as a release valve – and we can usually understand those people quickly and let them pass. But there is no explanation for, and…
Quotes from Google Achipelago
Oct 23, 2019, 5:48 PM by Daniel Johns p71 – That is, the Google Archipelago is a commercial assemblage that acts increasingly like a state. p 73 – …”dangerous” – that is anyone to the right of Joseph Stalin. p 89 – Much has been made of Google’s historical ties to the U.S. intelligence community…
Argumentum Ad Theologicum
Oct 23, 2019, 6:20 PM (yes it’s possible. it’s just almost impossible) We all defend our investments. it’s irrational to think we won’t defend our investments. As long as that’s what we’re doing, it’s not ir-reciprocal. In my understanding, theology is just one of the grammars. it’s both conflationary, and fictionalist, using the supernatural fictionalism,…
Why Do Anglo Governments Last so Long?
Oct 23, 2019, 6:25 PM It’s just much easier to reform a contract (constitution) that is adjudicated by an independent judiciary, than it is to reform a dictatorship, oligarchy, bureaucracy, or theocracy that lacks an independent judiciary and constitutional means of decision making given a division of powers, and fundamental rights especially to property. Most…
While There Are Many Good Social and Personal Consequences of The Religion, Christianity Failed Us Politically
I love christian manners: “god bless you” et all. I am equally happy with ‘the gods’ instead of ‘god’, and equally unhappy and hostile to the other semitic gods. I love christian ethics. and I love christian behavior. And I love the church experience. And i love it’s role in birth, adulthood, marriage, care-taking, suffering,…
More Fun with Christians
—“Darwin doesn’t even agree with macro evolution. DNA, the eye, Cambrian explosion all disprove any macro evolution not to mention that species actually show just as much entropy as positive gains over time just look at how many useless dogs exist today. To pretend things get better and more organized over time is simply false.”—Charles…
. . .
Oct 24, 2019, 9:23 AM If your God has brought you here, then there are two obvious questions. First, what good is that god. Second, it seems unlikely it is more god than demon. Jehova was a demon, not a god.

Oct 24, 2019, 9:24 AM Aristotle was a Hero. Jesus was a Saint. But Jehovah and Allah are demons at best. Only a demon would claim a monopoly.
Witch Trials. Why?
Oct 24, 2019, 9:41 AM AFAIK the increase in witch trials was an extension of the inquisition, then the reformation, as a means of creating examples by suppressing newly enabled social dissent under the decline of the influence of the church and the personalization of the religious experience by disintermediation from the priesthood. There isn’t…
It’s Because Bad Religions Lie and Lag, Good Religions Use Truth and Lead

“figuratively” Is Good Enough for Now
Oct 24, 2019, 10:44 PM (humor) If you are an intellectual, activist, or evangelist, anywhere along the centrist, libertarian, constitutionalist, conservative, christian, or even fascist spectrum and you aren’t following me, then you’re missing out on the only people who have a constitutional solution to NOW. —“Fascist lol those were diametrically opposed to everything you…
Which of Your Cognitive Markets Are You Serving?
Oct 25, 2019, 9:48 AM The verb to be circumvents existence, which is what you are trying to circumvent testifying for, just as Heidegger was trying to circumvent and reverse the verb and noun – because both of you are tying to make speech conform to experience rather than speech test experience – which is…
The Most Important Lesson from The Church Experience
Oct 25, 2019, 10:02 AM The most important lesson I’ve observed, and perhaps the most important, is that sitting still in church, and the social pressure of sitting still in church, no matter how hard it is, teaches us the meaning of ‘sacred’ which is ‘we have no rights of self fulfillment’. I think it…
See the Stupid Sh-t I Have to Put up With?
Oct 25, 2019, 10:29 AM The world is full of these idiots. —“Curt Doolittle You wrote <<The only thing entropy depends upon is a difference in charge>> As soon as you admit entropy depends on anything, you have already disproven the statement you are trying unsuccessfully to defend – viz. “Entropy is the prime mover.”…
The Role of Churches in The Proposed Constitution
Oct 25, 2019, 11:19 AM —“I do have a question regarding churches. Under P Law, would they be considered public or private property? And if considered public, would that limit what the preacher can and cannot say? Or would it being private, grant them some clemency when speaking on their faith?”—Stephen Thomas P law doesn’t…
Why Is Curt Going Easy on Religion Now?
Oct 25, 2019, 11:33 AM The reason I’m more accommodating lately is because my work on investigating religion, education, and government is done, it’s just a matter of updating the constitution, switching our daily discourse to advocacy of that constitution and it’s solutions. I’m sorry having your sacred cows questioned so aggressively (prosecutorally) whether theological,…
Reciprocity Entering the Mainstream
Oct 25, 2019, 11:39 AM —“There’s that word reciprocity again… Where have I heard that before?!?”— JWarren Warren We will get there. We will standardize that term as the central object of conflict, thereby replacing equality. We probably wont get credit for it. But we will get there. Everyone will use the term. It is…
The Past Challenge of Bringing Women Into, and Keeping Them In, Propertarianism
Oct 25, 2019, 4:01 PM —“Enjoying your posts”— A very kind woman 😉 Awesome. It’s very hard for us to keep women interested, so that makes me (and the leadership) very happy. Three reasons it’s challenging: (I need a reason to post this so I’ll seize the opportunity you’ve created. ? ) The general strategy…
P-Decidabilty Is a Dangerous Idea!
Oct 25, 2019, 4:44 PM by Duke Newcomb This decidability is a dangerous idea. If the you-know-whos were to figure out the stuff we talk about and what we really mean, they’d SHUT IT DOWN! Decidability may be more of an antipode to parasitism than reciprocity. A decidable institution could hit such an escape velocity…
If You Want to Learn P
Oct 25, 2019, 5:27 PM IF YOU WANT TO LEARN P Propertarianism is like aristotelianism – it is a huge project that reforms much human thought especially logic, language, epistemology (knowledge), psychology, sociology, ethics, law, and politics. You can learn about our proposed constitution and it’s policies (it’s a lot, and you might have to…

Their Project to Undermine Class Cooperation
Oct 28, 2019, 2:14 PM Hmm.. our denial of natural classes and the western tradition of tripartism (now quadripartism) and the differences in ability between those classes has been created by the marxist(class), feminist (gender) postmodernist (identity, race) project to undermine class cooperation that allows for at least some class rotation, rather than preventing it…
Truth in Humor: The History of Entrepreneurial Warfare
Oct 28, 2019, 5:00 PM The Templars started out as ‘the poor knights’ as shown by two men on horseback. The Hospitaliers were not poor. They had money, arms, fleets of ships, and took territory. The Vikings were entrepreneurial warriors. The romans were entrepreneurial conquerors. The Greeks were entrepreneurial warriors. The indo europeans were entrepreneurial…
