  • 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…

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • Why Is Religion – Meaning Myth And Ritual – Necessary?

    —“Why are mythology and ritual necessary?”—Doug Decidability, opportunity costs and transaction costs. —“??????”—Doug We coordinate our actions a little bit by clear deliberate choices. But mostly we cooperate by many thousands of tie-breakers that we default to loose theories of the ‘good’: narratives. In other words, religions provide means by which, in those many thousands of choices,…

  • Religion = Infantilization, Truth=Transcendence

    ***MYTH, RITUAL, NATURAL LAW: MATURATION VS RELIGION, RITUAL, SUPERNATURAL LAW: INFANTILIZATION ***THE PURPOSE OF MYTH AND RITUAL IS THE COORDINATION OF DECIDABILITY*** ***THE PURPOSE OF RELIGION IS INFANTILIZATION***

  • Might Makes Right By Righting Wrongs – A Declaration

    Might Makes Right By Righting Wrongs – A Declaration of Reformation (get image version , or get  PDF Version ) Might, in and of itself, does not determine right or wrong. But right is always, and must be, constructed by the use of or constraint of might. Those with might determine whether a condition of right or…

  • Fallen Angel vs Rising Beast

  • The Church Failed To Reform And The Sciences Didn’t Have Time To Complete Their Evolutionary Program

    I mean, another way to look at the 20th century is that in response to Darwin, Maxwell, Spencer, (a) the church failed to reform in response by stating that god and natural and physical laws were the same expression of his divinity, and (b) our intellectual class failed to synthesize operationalism as a means of…

  • The Pseudosciences

    Empirically speaking, we already overspend on Grad and PhD students. We overspend on most sciences (because they’re psuedosciences) and underspend on those that matter (physics, material science, chemistry, biological chemistry, genetics, archaeology) Virtually all other programs (psychology, social sciences, political sciences), and certainly all pseudosciences (the humanities) are a waste of money. Even in those…

  • The Rational Risk Pursuit And Aversion Of Genders

    (By Eli Harman) —” While there certainly can be exceptions, in general, women are going to be more risk averse and men more risk tolerant. That’s a sensible risk management strategy. If a man fails, (in contrast to a woman) the individual consequences may be severe, but the consequences to the group are less severe,…

  • A Future for the Mises Institute?

    The Mises Institute would survive if and only if it transforms from advocacy of the pseudoscientific Ashkenazi enlightenment of Boaz, Marx, Cantor, Frankfurt, and Keynes, Mises and Rothbard, to the Scientific enlightenment of Hayek, Popper, Einstein, Darwin, Spencer, Pareto, Durkheim, and myself. It is one thing to say “all these men failed, and each brought…

  • Information Is A Form Of Production No Different From Any Other

    –“You’ve said that you see information as a commodity and therefore lies should be punishable fraud. Could you expand on what you mean as a commodity and how you would determine what forms of “lies” (you usually say leftist pseudo-science) should be punished?”— I said I see information as a kind of production that is…

  • The End Of The Westphalian Order

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oA13akwRFBc “You guys (Marines) are now 0 and 4 against guys in bathrobes and flip-flops running around with AK’s.” “The state finds itself in an increasing crisis of legitimacy” “The state has become the private hunting preserve of the establishment” (the deep state). “The Establishment is just Kabuki for the people in flyover land.” “Establishments…

  • Grammar Can Be Taught As Testimony

    GRAMMAR IS TAUGHT AS JUSTIFICATION, NOT CRITICISM But the problem of our era is the elimination of pseudoscience and deceit put forth by Marxists, Socialists, Feminists, and Postmodernists. So there is no reason we cannot teach grammar as not just ‘the good manners of victorian expression’, but as ‘the art of preventing the pollution of…

  • The ‘Good’ In Religion Is The Civic Ritual. Not The Content

      There is nothing in the bible that made the church good. They could have read greek legends and done good with them. It’s the ritual that matters, not the content. What the church spread was literacy, and diplomacy, and eventually natural law. The rest was a bucket of catastrophic lies. What’s the difference between…

  • We Already Had The Second Coming…

    WE ALREADY HAD THE SECOND COMING, AND IT WAS AS CATASTROPHICALLY TRAGIC FOR MANKIND AS THE FIRST TIME AROUND. **What’s the difference between the Apostles, the Council of Nicaea, The Pulpit, and Boaz/Freud/Marx, The Frankfurt School, the Media? Nothing.*** The difference is one of technological sophistication. The great lies of Jewish and Christian Mysticism, and…

  • The Failure of Traditionalists

    THE FAILURE OF THE TRADITIONALISTS TO UNDERSTAND OUR OPTIONS. At present we have traditionalists that don’t understand the content of their traditions, only that through mandatory indoctrination and ritual do we behave aristocratically – in the western tradition. The Patriarchy for example, is popular primarily by appeal to traditional (aristocratic) aesthetics. Under the assumption that…

  • Religious Submission Is Incompatible with Sovereignty and therefore Liberty

    Monotheistic religion requires submission. Submission is the opposite of, and incompatible with sovereignty. And existential sovereignty is required for the experience of Liberty. All else is neither liberty nor sovereignty but permission under submission. Ergo no religion that demands submission can produce a condition of Liberty.

  • Transforming the Academy To A Distributor of Lies

    By Eli Harman The left remade society by transforming the academy from institutions of inquiry and education to ones that simply manufacture and distribute lies. But now, it‘s biting them in the ass. Racialized protests at campuses across North America last summer exposed affirmative action for the sham that it is, as unqualified, ungrateful, and…

  • Definition: Philosopher (What Does A Philosopher Do?)

    What’s it mean to be a philosopher? What is this thing we call philosophy? We could say that it is a discipline by which we learn the craft of reasoning. So, many of us philosophize just as many of us repair machines, or do housework, or use mathematics. But using these tools is different from…
