Our European Natural Religion
Nov 25, 2019, 7:51 AM We evolved technology (magic, pseudoscientific), and not astrology(supernatural) and found ourselves with dominion over man (others) and nature (gods), so our natural religion is and always was philosophy(choics is ours to make), with sacrifice and ritual (debt payment) to gods (archetypal forces) as our ‘literature’. The problem we faced is…

Dec 1, 2019, 8:51 AM At present, aside from testimony and reciprocity I think I understand this problem (mathematical foundations) better than anyone else, for reasons I’m still … exasperated by.

The Origins of Natural Religion
Dec 1, 2019, 8:55 AM What’s the difference between the hunt and resulting feast, throwing a piece of meat on the fire to thank nature for her bounty, dancing around a fire that night to tell the story with moral heroic or tragic framing, with everyone drumming, chanting, singing, or reciting along – and religion?…
Question: Why Is Interruption Advertising Legal?
Dec 1, 2019, 9:17 AM What would happen if we prohibited interruption advertising. in other words, the only advertising possible would be destination. Wouldn’t every company create its own internet channel? Wouldn’t a much smaller number of media companies sell content people wanted rather than advertisers wanted? Why wouldn’t that be better than today?
Conservatism Understood
Dec 1, 2019, 10:43 AM CONSERVATISM UNDERSTOOD (worth repeating) A conservative questions the overestimation of reason, and above all questions consensus.

Our Brain Works Sort of The Opposite of How You’d Think
Dec 2, 2019, 3:41 PM —Our brain works sort of the opposite of how you’d think: it’s always running, always forecasts everything, in a vast competition for attention, what’s most coherent and rewarding gets attention. The brain never stops, ever. We disconnect from it to daydream, relax, rest, or sleep. It never, ever, ever, stops.—…
Anarchy Is Not Internally Consistent or Productive
Dec 2, 2019, 4:34 PM (Again: Libertine, Anarchist, Libertarian Thought Fails) By: Alain Dwight (via Brandon Hayes) Rules without rulers is impossible. Asserting an active noun or verb (rule) without an actor putting it in play (rulers) is a form of deception. For a sentence to be operationally complete it has to include the actor,…
Philosophers Are Born
Dec 2, 2019, 4:39 PM Philosophers are born I think. But they still must find a team to play on. Look at the Damned P-leadershp now. These guys are scaring me. It’s glorious.

Dec 7, 2019, 9:33 AM –“Domestication isn’t defined the way you just defined it.”– As socrates said “define your terms”. A term must only be consistent with the use as the speaker defines it.

Neoteny in Humans = Domestication
Dec 7, 2019, 11:17 AM An obvious bit of evidence of east asian’s more neotenous than europeans: they still retain the epicanthal fold (inner eyelid) which humans normally mature out of before birth. The others are body shape, body hair, scent, degree of sexual development. Conversely afro-asiatics (arabs) and africans mature more deeply than europeans.…
