Newcomb’s paradox is a paradox because half of very smart people think one answer is obvious, and half of very smart people think the other answer is obvious, and both think the other is being stupid. The scenario is that a demon that can accurately anticipate people’s actions, or an ai, or a committee of psychiatrists, or something like that, offers, you two boxes. A box that contains a thousand dollars, and a mystery box that may contain a lot …

There is always a state religion
There is always a state religion, always has been, always will be. Universities are seminaries of the state religion to train priests of the state religion, always have been, always will be. No man rules alone. You need a tribe, or a synthetic tribe. For a large state a natural tribe is inherently too small. A faith is a synthetic tribe. An army needs a faith, and a state needs a faith. Hence your mandatory participation in DEI religious gatherings …
No deal available for men and women to have a life together
Marriage 1.0 is now illegal, and there is no alternative with which to form a family that is legal and socially acceptable in polite company. Love is war, love is a battlefield, all is fair in love and war. Marriage 2.0 does not work. A ship must have one captain, and a household one captain, and if you have two captains you have two ships, which wind up passing in the night. Young men view young women as icky and …
Feminists Cosplaying Character from Porn
Feminism is a shit test, and they are, in desperation, giving us the cheat code to pass it. The “Handmaid’s tale” is a porn novel for women. It is often described as fetish novel, biblical Christian sexuality being defined as a fetish. The novel is set in Christian theocracy, where the theocrats enforce biblical policies on sex to raise fertility for everyone, and especially elite fertility. Albeit one of the measures they take to encourage specifically elite fertility (meaning elite …
Ideology as a Schelling point for the coordination of violence.
An army is coordinated violence, and a state is coordinated violence. So an army needs a faith, and state needs a faith. A faith is apt to acquire an army and a state, and a state without a faith will acquire one, either by deliberate policy or by hostile entryism. So we always have a state religion. To act cohesively, a group needs a leader, but also shared beliefs. The faith may be, and often is, “point deer make horse”, …
Are demons real?
The Bible clearly says they are not real. The Bible also clearly says that they are real. I am a pragmatist. Most people examining deep philosophical and the theological questions with no clear answer are ignorant idiots. Digression on quantum theory and too clever by half idiots: Some of them, including perhaps myself, are not simple idiots but too clever by half idiots. I will give those investigating the issue of the Bohr Copenhagen Interpretation of quantum mechanics, and the …
Another “pastoral” pope coming up.
Meaning another demon worshipping faggot. Time for those Roman Catholics who are not yet postChristian to finally walk the path the protestant revolutionaries walked. What is a “pastoral” Pope? A pastoral Pope is one who is “close to the people”. And by “the people” they do not mean the typical Roman Catholic who attends church, or who might be persuaded to attend church. They mean what the big game companies called “The Modern Audience”. Faggots, transsexuals, transsexual prostitutes, morbidly obese …
The Logos is risen
In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre. And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it. His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow: And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and …
Pete Hegseth gets it, sort of.
A state exists because its army exists. States exist because armies exist. A state needs a faith, and an army needs a faith. There is always a state faith. And starting with Obama, the faith of woke is currently being imposed on the army — a faith incompatible with the army’s core function, which efficiently killing people and breaking things. It is also incompatible with war production, or production of anything, as recently became apparent in the Ukraine war. And …
The death of woke games and movies
Ubisoft has been compared to an all you can eat oatmeal buffet. They have not been able to create new game play for a very long time. They have been creating new background and story, new art content. Which new content has gradually become not plot, story, and character development, but has, like Hollywood movies, become insulting and hostile attacks on their audience, which amount to “You are scum, shut up and listen to your betters”, as for example “Star …
