A brief science lesson. Once upon a time, a british economist named Malthus wrote a short book on a fundamental realization he had, and his concerns about it. The facts that laid before Malthus's table were that population growth is exponential, whereas resource growth is finite and arithmetical at best. The inevitable result would always be poverty and famine, that there was no path to prosperity available to mankind, and that despite all of our technological innovations, in the end we'd be just as poorly off as our starving ancestors and the starving Chinese and the starving Indians and the starving Africans. Mathematics simply dictated it.
Another man, Charles Darwin, when he read this, realized that this was the case not just for mankind but all living things. All living things reproduced exponentially, while only being able to gather more resources arithmetically. This meant that in the natural world, life was constantly overshooting its carrying capacity, ie more babies were being born than could possibly be fed. Every generation a great die-off must occur, to reorient population to resource accumulation, he reasoned, and the factors that led to some organisms dying while others didn't created the survival of the fittest. Perhaps one organism had better lungs and thus could run faster, perhaps an organism had better eyes and could spy out prey better than average, or perhaps an organism was better camoflauged than its peers and thus avoided the sharp eyes of predators. Survival traits one encounters in the natural world are impossible to miss, the logic that those who had more and better versions of these obviously effective measures must have outcompeted their rival stock is common sense, the fact that not all living things can survive due to exponential birth rates is a mathematical truth.
Gradually, as each generation is born, competes, and largely dies off, in competition with members of their own species and other species occupying the same biological niche, (perhaps using the same shelter, perhaps the same soil, perhaps the same sunlight, perhaps the same prey, etc) and those predating upon a certain niche, (eating them, infecting them, scavenging from them) certain survival traits begin to emerge as more and more common the longer the game is played, because even a slight advantage over time leads to a dramatic lead over all competition. Once virtually everyone has either died or inherited these winning traits, the competition begins all over again and just as ruthlessly as only some new advantage will help one genetic line emerge victorious over the others. This constant need to improve or die is the seemingly miraculous force that has created humans out of algae. In a name, it is evolution. Genetic change, competition, and the favoring of certain survival traits that keep turning out to be winners, automatically keeps life progressing towards certain ends. Ends that can be discerned if one looks at the history of life's evolution across time. Ends that all living beings must embrace and adopt, or go extinct for the lack of them, due to the proven worth of those traits that evolution has selected for life over and over and over again.
Evolution has been breeding for all sorts of various traits, like disease resistance, sexual attractiveness, strength, speed, etc. It's obvious why birds have talons, fish have gills, and so on. More interesting and less visible is the meta-evolution selecting for meta-traits. These are not specific adaptations to specific needs, but the overarching vector of progress in fields that constantly 'win,' strategies that tend to hit the 'jackpot.' Starting from its humble beginnings, life has been evolving in a clear direction, towards certain meta-traits that are most likely to win. From my analysis, these are:
Power. Complexity. Adaptibility. Intelligence. Resilience. You could say that whether it's teeth, claws, or stingers--plumage, mating calls, or antlers--it always falls under one of these meta-traits. It's always an attempt to gain more of one of the above. Life has been constantly evolving itself into higher and higher magnitudes of these traits, through whatever channels it happens across. Just like entropy provides a vector to the workings of the universe, power, complexity, adaptibility, intelligence, and resilience provide a vector to the workings of evolution.
Humanity of course is the highest exemplar of evolution on earth. This is because we possess above all the very evolutionary meta-traits that all life has been striving to possess since the beginning. Life has been evolving from weak creatures unable to alter their environment or confront others into much larger, more powerful creatures able to do so. In the past life could only drift about in the sea, but as time went by it found ways to move itself. In the past there were only plants that fed off the sun, but eventually animals that fed off plants appeared, and then animals that fed off animals, in a constantly increasingly powerful chain. All of this becomes moot when compared to human's ability to split atoms, travel into outer space, harness the nearly infinite energies of the natural world, slaughter any other organism we care to, and even domesticate plants and animals to serve our needs.
All life started as unicellular organisms without even a nucleus but now has moved on to vastly complicated multi-cellular lifeforms with all sorts of specialized cells and organs which in turn gave way to vast communities of living beings working together to build an even vaster more complex society. Herds of animals, packs of wolves, tribes of monkeys, colonies of bacteria, etc all show the meta-arrow of increasing complexity as a means towards increasing survivability and success. All of course pale in comparison to the cities, nations, cyberworld, and trade networks that humans span today, including the entire society of our past in written down records so that the number of relations and cooperation grows and grows but never shrinks.
Adaptibility is a prime plus for life forms that wish to live. When the atmosphere became oxygenated instead of sulfuric or whatever it was, only the life that could adapt to this massive change survived. When carbon dioxide became thin in the air, only the more adaptive grasses that could survive on less carbon survived. AIDS is so succesful because of its ability to almost limitlessly adapt to the various drugs used against it. Omnivores are better than carnivores due to their ability to adapt to what food supplies are available, who are of course better than animals like kualas who are so incapable of adaption, that they only eat one other species on earth. However, the most adaptable life form of all is again, humanity. We can be found in all parts of the earth, under any climate. We can eat anything, thrive in heat or cold, high altitude or sea level, due to our technology which equips us for any job or condition. At this point we can even send people underwater for months in submarines or float them about in outer space for months on space stations. We are The most adaptable life form that can exist in more environments than anything else on earth. And given that the world will eventually be destroyed, only life forms as adaptable as us, ie, that can first reach outer space, have any evolutionary chance at all. ALL life, everything else, lives by our sufferance alone and owes all its gratitude and existence to us.
Intelligence, routinely described as a combination of information storage, processing and abstract thinking, has been universally increasing in the history of life. From unicellular life without a nucleus (the central processor), to life without DNA to life with DNA (memory banks), up to the development of the nervous system and the brain, and then to larger and larger brains across the board. (Until nearly all mammals and birds of today are geniuses compared to the reptiles and amphibians and fish of the past, who in turn were infinitely smarter than plants, etc) But the intelligence of other life forms again falls well short of humanity. Using our initial advantage in the very best and biggest brains (proportional to body-weight) existent, we have gone on to develop language and written language to broaden our intellectual output to include the collective intelligence of our whole community across all time, and then even made machine languages we could talk to with their own set of brainpower--low in abstract thinking, but extremely high at processing speed and storage capacity. A single human is already impressively more intelligent than the closest animal competition--the collective intelligence of the human organism that works alongside pets, computers, written records and dialogue between humans is exponentially smarter, capable of nearly anything -- and indeed the record of our accomplishments bears this out.
Resilience is typefied in any hardy plant that can resist the cold or drought, anything with a good immune system, a thick coat of fur or armor, a vastly fast reproductive process, or anything of the sort that makes them hard to kill. Cockroaches and the common cold are perhaps the most famously resilient, but in the end nothing approaches mankind. For a simple reason--humanity is the only life form that can outlive the destruction of their planet. Now That's resilience. Not only that, but it would be simple for the mankind of today to, just as a proof of principle, build an underground bunker for itself and nuke the entire world, leaving everything but itself a dead wasteland. At this point all other living things live by our sufferance, except perhaps a few microbes buried deep in the earth or under the seas, and for the pests that continue to assault us, they have not their resilience to brag about but the sheer hassle of destroying them that prevents us. Meanwhile no life form on other could kill us out, and our technology can generally sense and then avert any natural disaster that would threaten us, again showing which species is the hardiest and least vulnerable to extinction.
For these reasons humans are the superior life form, they are doing what life does best, they are what life wants most, they are the purpose of life incarnate. They are life's champions. If life were a princess in the stands observing with mixed worry and hope for the outcome of the joust, we are the knight who wears her ribbon and pledges victory in her name. We are her most faithful, most trusted servent. The warrior who protects her from all comers, who punishes any who defame her virtue or beauty, and spreads her fame and glory to the far corners of the realm. As bearers of this title and mantle, this special status and honor, we are not just another life form. We are Life's Form. We are superior to all other living beings, all other life is already expressed and included in us, who in our vast complexity, power, intelligence, adaptibility, and resilience, contain the meaning of all their existence as well as the additioanal special meaning of our own. There is nothing in life humanity does not already possess, life is superfluous now that humanity is on the scene, and yet humanity is indispensable to all other life. This is the relation between us, one of superior and inferior, of condescension and gratitude, of ruler and ruled.
However, evolution did not stop there. The game goes on. Once all humanity contained the basic survival traits that were necessary to compete and survive, once all the weaker hominids had been driven extinct by our competition with them, eliminating all competitors in our niche, we continued to seek advantages over each other so that our genes would spread. The same malthusian formula was at work as ever, there were always more children than resources, which meant a competition and a die-off every generation, some could afford many children, some only few, and so on. Evolution, however, proceeds at different paces in different conditions. In a relatively benign climate and environment, with little competition from any outside species, evolution crawls along at a slug-slow pace, because it is so easy to succeed that culling can only work on the most extreme cases of degeneracy. In harsh conditions, where life is hard-scrabble, and competition robust due to many outsiders continuously migrating in and trying their luck, evolution proceeds at a breakneck pace, many times causing massive die-offs followed by massive speciation into all the emptied niches. The humans who lived in the most competitive areas under the worst climates therefore evolved separately from those living in benign climates or uncompetitive unvisited backwaters. It is a careful balance due to the two factors: 1) the harsness of the environment. 2) the number of competitors competing with you for said territory. If an environment is too harsh, it is likely no one else will bother competing with you for it. You may evolve a certain extent due to the harsh nature of the environment, but it will not have the added impetus of the harshest challenge of all--other humans. If an environment is not harsh enough, humans may become rather docile and even in close proximity to each other find little reason to compete or improve. It just so happens that outliers who were protected by physical barriers instead of by any merit of their own fell drastically behind the evolutionary race--those who lived beneath the protective desert of the sahara, the protective tropical diseases of Africa, the protective islands of Australia, the protective snowy wastes of the polar north, and the protectively unreachable Americas bounded by two oceans. Even the hot, desert and mountain subcontinent of India was largely cut off from outside influence and competition. Evolution could make little headway with these people as little challenged them to progress, having already mastered everything in their petty kingdom to carve out a comfortable and secure way of life. Those in the Eurasian landmass, however, had a different story. When one civilization picked up farming, the others followed or were conquered. When one civilization invented written language, the others adopted or were conquered by the original. When one civilization invaded, the others learned to fight back or were destroyed, and so on. History for these people includes titanic struggles between greeks and persians, egyptians and babylonians, russians and mongols, chinese and manchus, romans and germans, and basically all against all. Out of this cauldron comes the most tempered steel. Indeed, mathematically, scientifically, it would be impossible to imagine a species with no selection pressures out-competing a species with continuous vast selection pressures and an enormous population constantly moving about ready to discover and spread any change it chances upon. It would be like watching an apple fall upwards, it so violates the rules of biology. And thus we find that the two most evolved, most accomplished, most capable meta-trait holders of the human species, to be the Europeans and the East Asians. It could not have been any other way. History and science require it. The very shape of the earth, its landmasses, and its climates, demanded it. And now looking back, we can find that though it was close and the mongols, turks, and huns really had a go at Europe, eventually Europe came roaring forth and conquered the whole world. Eventually white Europeans were 40% of world population, outcompeting all the rest, and monopolizing virtually 100% of the Earth's resources. Yes, it was a long and hard fight, but eventually white Europeans showed their superiority against their east asian rivals. All other races were so far behind they never even entered the equation. With a mere flick of the wrist, whites conquered, genocided, or enslaved all of them within a few centuries. It was not humans but the physical barriers that posed any challenge to us at all.
In a sane, normal, evolutionary world, it would be at this point whites outcompeted non-whites everywhere for their biological niche, just like homo sapiens had earlier done to all the other hominids, just like every last animal, plant, and fungus does to each other every day. Instead, at the very precipice and brink of victory, we turned on each other and, not securing the kill or our ascedency, viciously started infighting over the spoils that hadn't even been definitively won. Whites in a hyper-evolutionary fierceness decided now it was time to decide between Russians, Austrians, Germans, British, or Italians who exactly should own the world and proliferate everywhere. And over such minor differences, which nonetheless are plenty enough to fight over, whites genocided themselves to a broken shell of themselves. And, in this unbelievable tragedy for life, humanity, and the white race, those who remained rejected all the principles of life and evolution and decided that since it led to civil wars, it was universally evil and must be abolished. Then whites went about using their superior merit and power to reverse everything they'd ever done, reverse all progress evolution had made in the last 30,000 years with them, reverse the very purpose and meaning of life itself. Being the most effective people of all, we have so effectively reversed course and committed suicide and raped our own Princess who believed in and loved us most, that now we are sacrificing ourselves for spotted owls, crab-grass, and god knows what. It is so insane, so arbitrary, it becomes comical.
For five billion years evolution got us, traveling along one single vector, with one single goal in mind, the white race, the most powerful intelligent adaptable resilient complex life form of all, to the year 1914. In less than a century the white race has gotten us, in the exact reverse vector, to where we are today. In two centuries this vector will have devolved us all the way back to some sickeningly stupid, violent, useless subhumans teeming and poor all around the earth. Sadly, evolution was so successful at empowering its chosen people, that we were the first ones ever to break free of our own purpose in life, our own status as living beings. We were the first ones who didn't use our power, our meta-traits, to further our evolution, but to actually replace it with wholly fanciful and deranged alternatives. With the world wars as impetus to reject our true purpose and values, the true meaning of life and virtue in living it, embracing it, loving it for what it is, and the unique stupidity that comes from outgrowing your own instincts and deciding for yourself what your desires and wishes will be, whites have shown the fatal flaw in their knightly armor. Like achilles, the tendon has been struck, and death must follow glory, and tragedy consume our victory. This is why we must regretfully accept the decree of evolution, and instead of trying to save the white western world, we must bury it alongside all the others, we who do not share these evolutionary weaknesses and flaws as our brethren. This, too, is evolution. We have discovered the weakness of whites, their lack of resilience has dishonored them and lost their place at the helm. They are no longer the superior race, they are in fact one of the weakest, most pathetic, most degraded races of all--because superior must mean superior at something, and the only important thing life is superior at, is living. And the only measure of life is evolution's arrow that points the way.
A new race must be born from the ashes. Competition must sweep the unholy detritus of the whites into the ash heap of history, resources must be freed up for a different genetic line, one more in line with evolution and Life's needs--a race stronger, tougher, better in every way. One that embraces the good but rejects the bad and promises to take up the banner that has been left fallen on the ground. The mythical land of this race is commonly called Vinland, the mythical race of these people Solutreans, or Aryans, or whatever you prefer. We are no longer strong enough to save all of us, nor should we want to stop nature from taking its course. So long as survive, everything survives. So long as we thrive, nothing is lost, and the best is yet to come. Let our numbers be reduced from a billion to one million, from 40% to 1%, it doesn't matter. So long as that 1% then outcompetes the world and regrows to 40%, to 90%, it is simply an opportunity to improve ourselves and never make the same mistakes again. Every loss is someone else's gain. Let's not let it be the Blacks, the Muslims, the Hispanics, the Indians, or the Chinese. Let's make it ours. Let's make it our gain. And the way to do that, is to sezie the niche opened up by white's anti-life activities. Where they don't breed, we will have twice, three times, eight times as many kids. Where they back down from any quarrel and beg for mercy, we will be ruthless, terrifying, dreadfully violent to any who dare to harm our own. Where they lack the will to upkeep their culture or their technology or their territory, we will adopt all of it, bend it all to our own ends, and spread it like wildfire everywhere we go. Evolution is pitiless and loves only those who love her. Life is merciless and rewards the mantle of champion only to those who outcompete all comers. We Fishians have big shoes to fill, and a great honor to gain. With the fall of the whites, the whole world is back up for grabs. White Warriors, rise up and take it!

A new Morality: Love, Beauty, Truth/Virtue, Honor, Pride. Part II
Previously, I hoped to establish that morality does not leap spontaneously from the head of zeus, nor can it be arise by sitting down one day, humming a zen tone, and then getting back up with all the truths of the universe in hand. Morality has not been handed to us in some convenient book delivered by God, nor is morality the natural state of man. Nor is morality something that can be taught, like the best way to win a chess game, without ever being felt as well. A new morality must take into account all these dead-ends, navigate its way carefully, and emerge with a new answer for our age.
Morality is an interaction between our hearts, our inmost souls, culture, and civilization. A culture must be true and positive to be of any use. It must also answer all our human yearnings satisfactorily, or it is pointless and people will abandon it for other things. A civilization must believe in itself and have the willpower to enforce itself on its citizens, but one cannot be civilized unless you are enforcing a true, moral culture. Plenty of barbarians have followed their cultures, the Aztecs acted barbarously throughout their lives, nevertheless having a highly developed culture, morality, and belief system of their own. However, none would call human sacrifice and cannibalism civilization. It is still simple barbarism. Their morality was not true, and thus it was ultimately self-destructive and brought about their doom. It made too many enemies, too few friends, did not develop their arts or sciences, did not develop their economy or education, and exposed them to the disgust of a far more advanced people with far more positive standards than their own. The same fate awaits anyone who chooses their morality unwisely, or cleaves to a morality long since disproven.
Culture must be pervasive for it to infuse the soul. Culture cannot be an act of fiction you read a couple days out of the year, then return to your day to day life which is run by an entirely different belief system, which promotes entirely different ideals, and so on. You cannot go 'get culture' by visiting the local library today, opening up Clarrissa, and reading about her unfortunate life, between school which teaches one thing, chatting with your friends who say another, your church which says a third, tv which says a 4th, the law code which says a 5th, and so on. Culture, to truly be a culture, must be a unified vision, a unified story, a unified reality that encompasses your entire way of life. It cannot leave out 99% of your life and still 'count.' It doesn't, of course, only encompass your life, but the lives of everyone you know and see and talk to. Everyone you know believes it, in their hearts, and when they offer criticisms it is always of the margins, it never attacks the beating heart. Lively debates will be formed over what best represents your culture, this book or that, this monument or that, lively debates will be formed over which are the most important values, which the least, which should hold sway in a dispute between the two, and so on. But the fundamental belief would be there, that your way of life is good, is natural, is dutiful, is expected, is praised, is beloved, is successful, is enviable. That you, and your people, are blessed and fortunate to have been born under such an enlightened star. Imagine a starting point like that, and see how easy it is to reach 'morality' from here. Imagine how much simpler it is for someone to do and be good, when its strictures are reinforced by everything he sees, reads, and hears, and by everyone he speaks to, whether parent, church, cop, or peer. Imagine how easy it is for him to restrain his bad impulses, when he can expect the universal revulsion of his peers, instead of an apathetic shrug, or people cheering him on with Milton's Devilish wish that 'misery loves company.' Once everyone and everything has been recruited into the service of the culture war, for the monoculture that rules every aspect of life, from birth to education to marriage to work regulations to recreatinonal activities to holidays to funerals, people will find it much easier to belong, to conform, to meet expectations, to not want to be outcasts, to not want to lose their self-respect and the respect of their peers. In a moral vacuum all is permitted, and people quickly rationalize any enormity as somehow moral. Just like in a physical absence of cops, looting quickly emerges and everyone turns out to truly be monsters. This is just human nature, it has good instincts and socially harmful instincts, and a society that does not encourage some while discouraging others, has simply given up on existence.
For those who upon hearing the word 'conform' have already balked and decided we're better off without a culture after all, since it impinges on our freedom, diversity, 'vibrancy' and so on--that's right. It's a trade off. Everyone can't just do whatever they want, whenever they want, according to their every whim. Your pleasures and pursuits must accord with a greater societal portrait, a landscape, upon which you are just an ornament. You will not be allowed to spoil the view, corrupt the youth, poison the well, or rot our apples. No matter how discreetly you do your own thing, in the end you are sabotaging the effectiveness of the whole, by encouraging others to do the same, and sanctioning their bad activity, making it less censurous and more socailly acceptable for them to do it. Every opinion counts. Honest dissent that somehow shows a better path would of course be welcome, but simple rebellion and perverseness is not 'vibrancy' or 'individualism.' Or if it is, no one cares. It is a threat aimed at the heart of our people.
Open up any book of fiction written in the 1700's or 1800's. What will you find as the ever-present backdrop, the ever-present assumption, that the writer and the reader share, that never even needs to be spelled out, it's so well understood? You will find western culture and civilization. When you look at what reasons impel the choices of our characters, you will find them exemplars of western culture and civilization. When the characters are filled with shame, guilt, or remorse, it is because they know they are going against their culture, and know they are wrong, evil, despicable, for doing so. Even the most hardened rogues, at least in these stories, occasionally fear the coming punishment of God, occasionally pity their victims and question why they do such things, and try to keep scrupulously good reputations of themselves as dilligently as the honest men. But these hardened rogues are not like the demented serial killers of our current TV series. No, often enough, their only crime is speaking flatteringly to women, without any intention of marrying them. This was the suspenseful drama, this was the crisis, of these novels. No girl was assumed to simply wantonly want sex and thus have some, no girl was THAT foolish. In Dickens novels, even the prostitutes believe in God, feel they are sinful and dirty, and stick to their trade only out of poverty and despair. There simply was not a character who would screw for screwing's sake. Not a one. The moral failings of those fooled into sex before marriage was plenty enough, the censure already strong enough, the penalty already so severe that no man would likely take you again, your whole family would be dishonored and imperilled in the community, and for generations you children and grandchildren would be discriminated against as bastards. No girl was stupid enough to risk such harm for a good screw, the culture didn't allow such a personality to be born. Or if there were any, it was never allowed to reach the eyes and ears of others, with only moral tales of good people doing well, and bad people suffering profusely, allowed to reach their ears.
Many times, the story consisted of lovers, who through the opposition of parents, the differences in fortunes or titles, or some other injustice kept them apart. Far from making love anyway and flipping society the bird, these people found honest and just ways to bring their obstacles to heel, and married and lived happily ever after. Take a modern soap opera, and it's never because of some external beyond their control. The reason a couple does not get along well, is invariably one is mistreating the other, is thinking of cheating or wanting to switch with some new guy they 'love' more, has 'rediscovered' themselves and now wishes to pursue new interests and new circles of friends, and so on. All banal, all selfish, all evil reasons to break up, or not get together--never any relationship where the characters are not to blame for their own problems, where the wholly good can ever be rooted for.
How we court, what limits we assign to modesty and decorum, the degree of moral censure we pass on those who abuse others and are slaves to their passions, is stamped into every novel of the previous centuries, and wholly absent from today. Nothing is upheld as a model of good behavior, rampant sexuality is always rewarded in the shows and movies with 'more fulfilling' lives, and so on. Culture has failed to instil morality in our most basic relationships. This is just an example. I could show a hundred other ways how, for instance, evil doers these days don't even feel they are doing wrong, when in the past they all felt distinctly how wrong what they did was. How the limits of evil have been expanded far beyond anything the previous evil-doers ever imagined, like the mass school shootings or the knoxville horror. All of this is a failure of culture. With culture, people would know right from wrong, would feel a powerful pull towards doing the good and not violating the norms they grew up with all their life, a religious sense of how nothing good can come from this and their doom will catch up to them. We cannot blame the hearts and minds of our youth, they came out just as innocent and pure as every previous generation. They were never given a culture. The only things we modern westerners were taught to do as kids was 'get good grades,' 'get a high paying job,' 'be popular,' 'get laid,' and 'don't hate.' The entire system of moral censure is directed at not morally censuring others, the height of moral goodness is to tolerate the height of moral depravity, invent excuses for it, justify it as somehow someone else's fault, and so on. Children have been taught thoroughly this haphazard, phony set of ethics, and perform it with all their might to gain the social approval that comes of it. They did their part, they acted out the path of human nature. Who taught them? Who gave them such horrible ideals? Give a poll and ask 1,000 kids whether they would rather be honorable, wealthy, popular, or tolerant. Try it! Most of the kids will ask you what the first word even means, having never heard it before. ::rolls eyes:: Other retarded things we teach our kids, "think for yourself," "disobey authority," "never let anyone think they're better than you," "don't fight back if you're bullied," "use dating and sex to gain 'experience' for your late 30's when you'll be ready for a serious relationship." Most people can't think for themselves, they're hopelessly stupid and biased, their passions get the better of them, their reason falls too short, their ignorance affords them no fuel. Everyone must obey authority or there will be chaos, a clear heirarchy quashes the schoolyard bullies, gangs, and posers who only create false authorities when a true one is lacking. Humility is recognizing we are mere dogs compared to some humans, just as some humans are dogs compared to us. That is how severe the IQ gaps are. Fighting back is the only way to break the chain of abuse. Win or lose it establishes your manhood and your honor. The 'experience' you gain is only negative, you become experienced in how to give up, how to find endless faults in someone else, how to never try hard, how to not commit, how to distrust, and how to be callous about kisses, words, and caresses. I do not see how any of these experiences helped our ancestors marry their arranged partner, virgins until that day, and stick together the rest of their lives. Somehow they managed without.
So, what culture should we adopt? What could give our people a healthy body, mind, and spirit? What could satisfy our craving for purpose, for goals, for the sacred, for belonging, for happiness, and so many other things? Sadly, until it is implemented on the grand scale, it cannot function well on the micro-scale. This is because adherence to it only causes censure, friction, and ostracism from all those who don't adhere to it and follow the current vacuum system or the obsolete religious one. Basically adopting this culture is self-destructive and only results in heartache and loss--even though it's true. Only a civilization can properly hold it, an individual is better off pretending not to believe it. But then, anyone who does believe in it devoutly, finds it too hard to pretend anything else or deny it in any way. So it goes. You see, people of the new morality would say, "death before dishonor," and not even torture could force them to renounce their public and defiant adherence to their views. It is too powerful to know, to believe, but not to wear or uphold. Like the christian martyrs, 'fishians' or whatever the title, are going to first live their culture surrounded by hostility and punishments, physical, financial, social, and all the rest. Only someday, over the rainbow, can any of them dream of even their grandchildren living in a land that rewards them and honors them for their beliefs and ideals. The christians went through 300 years of persecution before they gained power. Should we do any worse? Are we any less than they?
In short, the new morality would hold that love, beauty, and truth are moral absolutes. That due to how wonderful these three aspects of life, of spirituality, are, they are both our purpose, our reward, and the one inviolate sacredness we must worship and obey as something greater than ourselves--something worth dying for. That to serve these absolutes, a moral being must uphold his virtue, his honor, and his pride. That he must sharpen the sword of his soul until it can cut through his own temptations, his own backsliding, his own shortcomings, and mercilessly adhere to these strictures however far they go. That he must be merciless to himself, and merciless to others, that the swords of our souls must be razor sharp, that not a single allowance must be made--that morality is absolute. Weakness must be deplorable, a crime in and of itself. Giving in to weakness must itself be denounced, remorse and repentance must be serious and accompanied with stricter obedience than ever before.
A man's virtue is his love of higher things, his love of right, and his unwillingness to be defiled or polluted by base acts or base sensations. He is immune to baseness, to degradation, he venerates and admires the virtues of others, he praises the good, his heart shines with love for the good in others, he does not break even once, not once, to things far beneath him, things never worth his soul. He is not addicted to any chemicals, he does not chase after money but only goodness and holiness, he treats others with kindness and humility, not having to control or 'beat' anyone to be happy with himself. When he can uplift others through advice, encouragement, or help, he is generous with them. When he sees a noble sacrifice being made by his fellow man, he joins in with him, be it hopeless or not, to show his solidarity for the right. He does not hide, he is not ashamed, he has fully justified his own way of life, to himself, many a time, and sworn to live as he does with all his heart.
A man's honor is his unyielding adherence to the right, and to his word. It is his reputation in the eyes of others, nothing is thought well of save your honor. However rich you become, however comely your face, however accomplished your talents, if you lack honor, you are a worthless dog, a dirty dog, not fit for life, who, if you had any shame, would have killed yourself long ago. Nothing can restore your place in society save honor, honor means you will never betray your society, never betray your word, never break your promises, never dishonor yourself or those around you. Honor means dying in service to the truth. Honor means losing even when victory was in your grasp. Honor means nothing is more important than your honor, and nothing can make you break it, reward or punishment. Honor means continuing to do even your mistakes. Honor means following through even your folly. Honor does not compromise. Honor is never unilateral, you cannot remove your promise without the agreement of the person you promised something too. Honor is never conditional, whoever else violates their honor, that does not mean you can as well. Honor means recognizing your duties. Honor means obeying your duty, and those with the authority to enforce them. Honor means acting honestly toward your fellow man, neither injuring him or deceiving him, but stating clearly your motivations and intentions. Honor means admitting things even when they shine pooly against you. Honor does not keep secrets, but admits all its faults readily, and boasts of all its accomplishments proudly. Honor is sacred. Honor is true.
Pride means taking pride in one's virtue and honor, in one's true worth, in one's morality, not any external. Pride means building a shrine in your soul and worshipping the love, beauty, and truth inside you. Pride means loving your family, your children, your race, your ideals, and everything like you. Pride means not losing to one's emotions, to one's viciousness, to one's bestiality. Pride means upholding the best, being your best, loving your best so much that you cannot afford to sacrifice it for any other price. Pride means believing in yourself, your cause, and having the willingness to fight for it whatever the odds. Pride is to be serious. How I wish even a few people were serious about anything they knew, felt, or believed. How simple, and yet so rare, a gem is someone who believes, seriously, including all the implications and ramifications, his own beliefs! Only believing in yourself gives you the strength to be yourself, only believing in your beliefs gives them the strength to change the world. We are all, always, warriors of the spirit. Every day, every second, right and wrong is set before us, moral and immoral, we must make the right decision every time. If we don't, we must make amends. There are no excuses or explanations, right and wrong are clear, we must love the right and wish to be a part of it--if we are not in any way associated with anything good or holy, then we are trash, filth, so unhappy, so worthless, so useless, as to beggar description. If we defile the gods (Love, Beauty, Truth) or spit on their creations, we should be executed then and there. Those who take pride in their souls do not abide insults, slurs, and calumnies thrown against them.
No lies are ever justified in the service of some higher good. The highest good is abiding by the truth, living honorably, embracing existence. Simply knowing the truth is pleasurable, teaching the truth to others is a joy, discovering the truth through argument or analysis an endless journey, suffering for the truth an unescapable task. Love is enough, other factors are meaningless, love must always be the strongest emotion, the largest driving factor, between friends, family, lovers, parents and children, and between individual and country. From birth to death, everyone must feel loved, everyone must be loved by someone, and everyone must learn to love another, and love so deeply, it never fades. Love means we never have to be alone. Beauty must adorn everything, beauty is why we are human and not animals. Beauty is our reason for being. We are the eyes through which the universe beholds itself and knows itself divine. Beauty exists to be admired, not degraded. Beauty should be surrounded with love and truth, not hate and lies. This is why such beautiful things as sex, nudity, and so on should never be vandalized with prostitutes, seducers, or sluts. The same for dance, it should not be turned into grinding. The same for music, it should not be forced into rap. As much as possible, stories should be about heroes, given harsh problems, given incredibly tough moral dilemmas, and rising above. The language should be beautiful and inspiring. This is the art of Art! Everything should be as deeply felt as a burning fire in one's bosom, and then, everything should be made to feel twice as sharply. Songs should stop us from breathing, mountainscapes should paralyze our eyes, paintings should have endless details and a moral theme so lovely one can't look away. Beauty is so, so, so very good. Female beauty, clad in innocence, good will, and modesty, clad in virtue, whether clothed or nude, is the most beautiful work of art in existence. Alive and before your eyes, the most breath-taking sight in existence. I grant this is a wholly human viewpoint, but I insist it is a divine, sacred human viewpoint. And that is all the difference.
With this culture, admiration, veneration, and inspiration, would connect our hearts and souls to our laws, our stories, our cities, our history, our destiny. The plug would reach the socket. A new morality would be born. And the circuity of civilization would have the strength to start plugging. The true life, the life of the entire living organism, the life of all the human constituent parts who provide some little fire to the flame, would begin. This is the atheist spirit that can fill the moral vacuum. This is the way humanity could be retitled people of the stars.
As for me, I've done my best to contribute to the culture our people so need. Six fiction books published online (one chapter even published as a short story in print. ;) )with morality deeply imbedded in all of them, read by dozens of people around the world! If you want any copies, just ask. A contribution to culture is as precious as any to science, infinitely more precious than any accumulation of property (which will all be taken from us and given to africans anyway so who cares?), and we of high IQ have a duty to our people to lead, to enlighten, to inspire. Those of us who know the truth have a duty to impart it--somehow, some way, serve some cause be it love beauty or truth. The corpus is all too thin, we must have bach's, beethoven's, shakespeare's, rembrandt's, Dostoeveskey's and Homer's, just as many, just as varied, just as grand and beautiful and true as they were. And though we can use all of them, none of them specifically address the challenges and experiences of today, none of them are exactly what we want them to be---the creation of culture must continue. However supported we are by giants, we must still stand on their shoulders.
Morality is an interaction between our hearts, our inmost souls, culture, and civilization. A culture must be true and positive to be of any use. It must also answer all our human yearnings satisfactorily, or it is pointless and people will abandon it for other things. A civilization must believe in itself and have the willpower to enforce itself on its citizens, but one cannot be civilized unless you are enforcing a true, moral culture. Plenty of barbarians have followed their cultures, the Aztecs acted barbarously throughout their lives, nevertheless having a highly developed culture, morality, and belief system of their own. However, none would call human sacrifice and cannibalism civilization. It is still simple barbarism. Their morality was not true, and thus it was ultimately self-destructive and brought about their doom. It made too many enemies, too few friends, did not develop their arts or sciences, did not develop their economy or education, and exposed them to the disgust of a far more advanced people with far more positive standards than their own. The same fate awaits anyone who chooses their morality unwisely, or cleaves to a morality long since disproven.
Culture must be pervasive for it to infuse the soul. Culture cannot be an act of fiction you read a couple days out of the year, then return to your day to day life which is run by an entirely different belief system, which promotes entirely different ideals, and so on. You cannot go 'get culture' by visiting the local library today, opening up Clarrissa, and reading about her unfortunate life, between school which teaches one thing, chatting with your friends who say another, your church which says a third, tv which says a 4th, the law code which says a 5th, and so on. Culture, to truly be a culture, must be a unified vision, a unified story, a unified reality that encompasses your entire way of life. It cannot leave out 99% of your life and still 'count.' It doesn't, of course, only encompass your life, but the lives of everyone you know and see and talk to. Everyone you know believes it, in their hearts, and when they offer criticisms it is always of the margins, it never attacks the beating heart. Lively debates will be formed over what best represents your culture, this book or that, this monument or that, lively debates will be formed over which are the most important values, which the least, which should hold sway in a dispute between the two, and so on. But the fundamental belief would be there, that your way of life is good, is natural, is dutiful, is expected, is praised, is beloved, is successful, is enviable. That you, and your people, are blessed and fortunate to have been born under such an enlightened star. Imagine a starting point like that, and see how easy it is to reach 'morality' from here. Imagine how much simpler it is for someone to do and be good, when its strictures are reinforced by everything he sees, reads, and hears, and by everyone he speaks to, whether parent, church, cop, or peer. Imagine how easy it is for him to restrain his bad impulses, when he can expect the universal revulsion of his peers, instead of an apathetic shrug, or people cheering him on with Milton's Devilish wish that 'misery loves company.' Once everyone and everything has been recruited into the service of the culture war, for the monoculture that rules every aspect of life, from birth to education to marriage to work regulations to recreatinonal activities to holidays to funerals, people will find it much easier to belong, to conform, to meet expectations, to not want to be outcasts, to not want to lose their self-respect and the respect of their peers. In a moral vacuum all is permitted, and people quickly rationalize any enormity as somehow moral. Just like in a physical absence of cops, looting quickly emerges and everyone turns out to truly be monsters. This is just human nature, it has good instincts and socially harmful instincts, and a society that does not encourage some while discouraging others, has simply given up on existence.
For those who upon hearing the word 'conform' have already balked and decided we're better off without a culture after all, since it impinges on our freedom, diversity, 'vibrancy' and so on--that's right. It's a trade off. Everyone can't just do whatever they want, whenever they want, according to their every whim. Your pleasures and pursuits must accord with a greater societal portrait, a landscape, upon which you are just an ornament. You will not be allowed to spoil the view, corrupt the youth, poison the well, or rot our apples. No matter how discreetly you do your own thing, in the end you are sabotaging the effectiveness of the whole, by encouraging others to do the same, and sanctioning their bad activity, making it less censurous and more socailly acceptable for them to do it. Every opinion counts. Honest dissent that somehow shows a better path would of course be welcome, but simple rebellion and perverseness is not 'vibrancy' or 'individualism.' Or if it is, no one cares. It is a threat aimed at the heart of our people.
Open up any book of fiction written in the 1700's or 1800's. What will you find as the ever-present backdrop, the ever-present assumption, that the writer and the reader share, that never even needs to be spelled out, it's so well understood? You will find western culture and civilization. When you look at what reasons impel the choices of our characters, you will find them exemplars of western culture and civilization. When the characters are filled with shame, guilt, or remorse, it is because they know they are going against their culture, and know they are wrong, evil, despicable, for doing so. Even the most hardened rogues, at least in these stories, occasionally fear the coming punishment of God, occasionally pity their victims and question why they do such things, and try to keep scrupulously good reputations of themselves as dilligently as the honest men. But these hardened rogues are not like the demented serial killers of our current TV series. No, often enough, their only crime is speaking flatteringly to women, without any intention of marrying them. This was the suspenseful drama, this was the crisis, of these novels. No girl was assumed to simply wantonly want sex and thus have some, no girl was THAT foolish. In Dickens novels, even the prostitutes believe in God, feel they are sinful and dirty, and stick to their trade only out of poverty and despair. There simply was not a character who would screw for screwing's sake. Not a one. The moral failings of those fooled into sex before marriage was plenty enough, the censure already strong enough, the penalty already so severe that no man would likely take you again, your whole family would be dishonored and imperilled in the community, and for generations you children and grandchildren would be discriminated against as bastards. No girl was stupid enough to risk such harm for a good screw, the culture didn't allow such a personality to be born. Or if there were any, it was never allowed to reach the eyes and ears of others, with only moral tales of good people doing well, and bad people suffering profusely, allowed to reach their ears.
Many times, the story consisted of lovers, who through the opposition of parents, the differences in fortunes or titles, or some other injustice kept them apart. Far from making love anyway and flipping society the bird, these people found honest and just ways to bring their obstacles to heel, and married and lived happily ever after. Take a modern soap opera, and it's never because of some external beyond their control. The reason a couple does not get along well, is invariably one is mistreating the other, is thinking of cheating or wanting to switch with some new guy they 'love' more, has 'rediscovered' themselves and now wishes to pursue new interests and new circles of friends, and so on. All banal, all selfish, all evil reasons to break up, or not get together--never any relationship where the characters are not to blame for their own problems, where the wholly good can ever be rooted for.
How we court, what limits we assign to modesty and decorum, the degree of moral censure we pass on those who abuse others and are slaves to their passions, is stamped into every novel of the previous centuries, and wholly absent from today. Nothing is upheld as a model of good behavior, rampant sexuality is always rewarded in the shows and movies with 'more fulfilling' lives, and so on. Culture has failed to instil morality in our most basic relationships. This is just an example. I could show a hundred other ways how, for instance, evil doers these days don't even feel they are doing wrong, when in the past they all felt distinctly how wrong what they did was. How the limits of evil have been expanded far beyond anything the previous evil-doers ever imagined, like the mass school shootings or the knoxville horror. All of this is a failure of culture. With culture, people would know right from wrong, would feel a powerful pull towards doing the good and not violating the norms they grew up with all their life, a religious sense of how nothing good can come from this and their doom will catch up to them. We cannot blame the hearts and minds of our youth, they came out just as innocent and pure as every previous generation. They were never given a culture. The only things we modern westerners were taught to do as kids was 'get good grades,' 'get a high paying job,' 'be popular,' 'get laid,' and 'don't hate.' The entire system of moral censure is directed at not morally censuring others, the height of moral goodness is to tolerate the height of moral depravity, invent excuses for it, justify it as somehow someone else's fault, and so on. Children have been taught thoroughly this haphazard, phony set of ethics, and perform it with all their might to gain the social approval that comes of it. They did their part, they acted out the path of human nature. Who taught them? Who gave them such horrible ideals? Give a poll and ask 1,000 kids whether they would rather be honorable, wealthy, popular, or tolerant. Try it! Most of the kids will ask you what the first word even means, having never heard it before. ::rolls eyes:: Other retarded things we teach our kids, "think for yourself," "disobey authority," "never let anyone think they're better than you," "don't fight back if you're bullied," "use dating and sex to gain 'experience' for your late 30's when you'll be ready for a serious relationship." Most people can't think for themselves, they're hopelessly stupid and biased, their passions get the better of them, their reason falls too short, their ignorance affords them no fuel. Everyone must obey authority or there will be chaos, a clear heirarchy quashes the schoolyard bullies, gangs, and posers who only create false authorities when a true one is lacking. Humility is recognizing we are mere dogs compared to some humans, just as some humans are dogs compared to us. That is how severe the IQ gaps are. Fighting back is the only way to break the chain of abuse. Win or lose it establishes your manhood and your honor. The 'experience' you gain is only negative, you become experienced in how to give up, how to find endless faults in someone else, how to never try hard, how to not commit, how to distrust, and how to be callous about kisses, words, and caresses. I do not see how any of these experiences helped our ancestors marry their arranged partner, virgins until that day, and stick together the rest of their lives. Somehow they managed without.
So, what culture should we adopt? What could give our people a healthy body, mind, and spirit? What could satisfy our craving for purpose, for goals, for the sacred, for belonging, for happiness, and so many other things? Sadly, until it is implemented on the grand scale, it cannot function well on the micro-scale. This is because adherence to it only causes censure, friction, and ostracism from all those who don't adhere to it and follow the current vacuum system or the obsolete religious one. Basically adopting this culture is self-destructive and only results in heartache and loss--even though it's true. Only a civilization can properly hold it, an individual is better off pretending not to believe it. But then, anyone who does believe in it devoutly, finds it too hard to pretend anything else or deny it in any way. So it goes. You see, people of the new morality would say, "death before dishonor," and not even torture could force them to renounce their public and defiant adherence to their views. It is too powerful to know, to believe, but not to wear or uphold. Like the christian martyrs, 'fishians' or whatever the title, are going to first live their culture surrounded by hostility and punishments, physical, financial, social, and all the rest. Only someday, over the rainbow, can any of them dream of even their grandchildren living in a land that rewards them and honors them for their beliefs and ideals. The christians went through 300 years of persecution before they gained power. Should we do any worse? Are we any less than they?
In short, the new morality would hold that love, beauty, and truth are moral absolutes. That due to how wonderful these three aspects of life, of spirituality, are, they are both our purpose, our reward, and the one inviolate sacredness we must worship and obey as something greater than ourselves--something worth dying for. That to serve these absolutes, a moral being must uphold his virtue, his honor, and his pride. That he must sharpen the sword of his soul until it can cut through his own temptations, his own backsliding, his own shortcomings, and mercilessly adhere to these strictures however far they go. That he must be merciless to himself, and merciless to others, that the swords of our souls must be razor sharp, that not a single allowance must be made--that morality is absolute. Weakness must be deplorable, a crime in and of itself. Giving in to weakness must itself be denounced, remorse and repentance must be serious and accompanied with stricter obedience than ever before.
A man's virtue is his love of higher things, his love of right, and his unwillingness to be defiled or polluted by base acts or base sensations. He is immune to baseness, to degradation, he venerates and admires the virtues of others, he praises the good, his heart shines with love for the good in others, he does not break even once, not once, to things far beneath him, things never worth his soul. He is not addicted to any chemicals, he does not chase after money but only goodness and holiness, he treats others with kindness and humility, not having to control or 'beat' anyone to be happy with himself. When he can uplift others through advice, encouragement, or help, he is generous with them. When he sees a noble sacrifice being made by his fellow man, he joins in with him, be it hopeless or not, to show his solidarity for the right. He does not hide, he is not ashamed, he has fully justified his own way of life, to himself, many a time, and sworn to live as he does with all his heart.
A man's honor is his unyielding adherence to the right, and to his word. It is his reputation in the eyes of others, nothing is thought well of save your honor. However rich you become, however comely your face, however accomplished your talents, if you lack honor, you are a worthless dog, a dirty dog, not fit for life, who, if you had any shame, would have killed yourself long ago. Nothing can restore your place in society save honor, honor means you will never betray your society, never betray your word, never break your promises, never dishonor yourself or those around you. Honor means dying in service to the truth. Honor means losing even when victory was in your grasp. Honor means nothing is more important than your honor, and nothing can make you break it, reward or punishment. Honor means continuing to do even your mistakes. Honor means following through even your folly. Honor does not compromise. Honor is never unilateral, you cannot remove your promise without the agreement of the person you promised something too. Honor is never conditional, whoever else violates their honor, that does not mean you can as well. Honor means recognizing your duties. Honor means obeying your duty, and those with the authority to enforce them. Honor means acting honestly toward your fellow man, neither injuring him or deceiving him, but stating clearly your motivations and intentions. Honor means admitting things even when they shine pooly against you. Honor does not keep secrets, but admits all its faults readily, and boasts of all its accomplishments proudly. Honor is sacred. Honor is true.
Pride means taking pride in one's virtue and honor, in one's true worth, in one's morality, not any external. Pride means building a shrine in your soul and worshipping the love, beauty, and truth inside you. Pride means loving your family, your children, your race, your ideals, and everything like you. Pride means not losing to one's emotions, to one's viciousness, to one's bestiality. Pride means upholding the best, being your best, loving your best so much that you cannot afford to sacrifice it for any other price. Pride means believing in yourself, your cause, and having the willingness to fight for it whatever the odds. Pride is to be serious. How I wish even a few people were serious about anything they knew, felt, or believed. How simple, and yet so rare, a gem is someone who believes, seriously, including all the implications and ramifications, his own beliefs! Only believing in yourself gives you the strength to be yourself, only believing in your beliefs gives them the strength to change the world. We are all, always, warriors of the spirit.

There are no excuses or explanations, right and wrong are clear, we must love the right and wish to be a part of it--if we are not in any way associated with anything good or holy, then we are trash, filth, so unhappy, so worthless, so useless, as to beggar description. If we defile the gods (Love, Beauty, Truth) or spit on their creations, we should be executed then and there. Those who take pride in their souls do not abide insults, slurs, and calumnies thrown against them.

A new Morality: Love, Beauty, Truth/Virtue, Honor, Pride. Part I
I dislike religion. This isn't an unstudied view. I have read the Bible, Book of Mormon, Quran, Hadith, Bhagivad Gita, and the Upanishads. I have read Augustine, Aquinas (though not the entirety of summa theologica, I admit that was just too much), Boethius, C.S. Lewis, Dante's Divine Comedy, Milton's Paradise Lost and lord knows how many other Christian authors and apologists who felt their religion devoutly, and included it as a central pillar of their own works. Naturally I have visited the cathedrals, gazed upon western art full of religious imagery like Mary with Child, Jesus on the cross, and listened to the holy music of Handel, Mozart, and Beethoven. When you look back on western culture, be it Piers Plowman, Canterbury Tales, Everyman or Pilgrim's Progress, even be it the Knights of King Arthur's court, you will be reading about a Christian folk, with devout, Christian views, inspired by Christianity. I could never dislike these great men or their works, they are a treasure trove of thoughts and feelings at their highest height. If I ever had my say on the education of our youth, they would be immersed in this very Christian culture, right alongside the writings of the ancient greeks and romans, and the Enlightenment deists like Rousseau and Paine who came after. (Of whom I've also read almost in entirety. Just consult the Great Books series and I've read it, which is only the beginning of what I've read not the end. In the interest of full disclosure I've read 901 books in my life and tried to canvass all the greatest authors and philosphers among that number.)
Nevertheless, I dislike religion. At the very heart of religion stands a lie, which poisons everything. As Solzhenitsyn says, "Live not by lies," Is the smallest thing we can ask of man, the least resistance to evil we can make. Without it, evil will always prevail, and good can never flower. It is a lie that all those fanciful things happened in the past, it's mythology, not rigorous science, and when put to a scientific test it falls apart in shambles. It is a lie that logical paradoxes like something 'outside the universe' can still 'affect the universe.' That jesus can be 'fertilized by God' but God is "Spirit." Then what did he fertilize Jesus with? Apparently jesus came out of the womb with two sets of chromosomes not one, so whose material components are those? It's a lie that God is all-powerful, all-knowing, and all-good, because the duty of all good men is to vanquish evil and support the good, something we know and praise instinctively among ourselves, and yet God does nothing to help us or hurt evil-doers. To put it even more basically, no good person, if he had the power, should just watch a rape occur in front of him and say "I can't interfere with the rapist's free will, it's up to him whether he wishes to rape or not, it's none of my business." And yet God is given this exact pass, for this exact lame excuse. It is a lie that this is the best of all possible worlds, and yet God to be perfect must only be capable of perfect creations, and God supposedly rules this world perfectly, and thus this MUST be the best of all possible worlds to fit in with the lie of God. As for Islam no good God could sanction the filthy, evil actions of Muhammed and his swine, or allow such ignorant nonsense as his faulty plagiarism of the Bible, or his making up verses and taking them back again, or his self-justifying revelations that always ruled in his favor. And for Hindu religions, their denial of evolution, their silly beliefs like the soul goes from out of the top of the head, and a thousand other nonsensical beliefs completely outmoded by science proves a 'divine wisdom' source fatuous. The paradoxes go on and on, the lame band-aid excuses pile higher and higher, religion does not pass any level of intellectual rigour. Perhaps there is some sort of supernatural existence we are not aware of, but it can't be any of the established religions, because none of them are consistent with logic or reason, and none of their holy works are self-consistent even by their own definitions. For those who wish for a hereafter, or those who hope the universe is in better hands than our own, I have no wish to shoot you down, I'm often among them. But every established religion and every holy text has had one unholy commandment, 'Live by Lies,' and thus cannot be allowed to remain.
Perhaps there was even a time when the Bible was reasonable to believe in, where people could earnestly think it's true and not know it was a lie. Perhaps before physics, chemistry, biology, and so on were learned, we could still believe seriously the ridiculous fancies of the past. That day is done. With it goes the honest devotion, the sincere morality, of its practitioners. Everyone who still believes in one of the established religions today, is doing so in full knowledge of its obvious falsehood. Everyone today knows that no miracles have ever been witnessed and that everything that happens on earth happens according to predictable natural laws. Everyone knows that diseases are not due to God punishing sinners justly, but unjust, unmerited suffering due to invasion of agrresive microbes, viruses, faulty genes, etc. Everyone knows justice is not done, that natural disasters take out innocent people due to natural laws like heat, pressure, stress, etc. they do not strike down only sinners due to God's intervention. Every believer who hasn't been raised in some sort of isolation chamber, has been provided enough proof that only hypocrites, ignoramuses, and pragmatists remain. My experiences with religious people has so underscored these logical assumptions that on the whole I detest them. They show so little basic morality, so little principled behavior, so little adherence to their own beliefs, that on the whole they are tools and creatures of convenience, who care about nothing but themselves and hold nothing sacred or inviolate under the stars. Give me one of those sweet religious creatures of the 1800's, or the 1200's, or the 300's, who felt religion meant living a righteous life, meant obeying one's betters, meant caring for the poor, meant preserving one's land against the heathens, or meant risking one's life to give birth to child after child, most of whom would never live to adulthood, and the religious strength of will to bury each and every one of them while trooping on through a painful, miserable, short life with an unvanquishable faith and hope in the future. Show me one person of that mold, and I, unfortunately, will show you 20 'Christians' who think nothing of lying, swearing, drinking, drugging, divorcing, cheating, whoring, stealing, or whining. I will show you entirely bankrupt souls, with no thought of morality in their head, using church camp as a chance to get away from parental supervision and having orgies between their counselor sermons. The truth is too bitter to speak much about, I'm sure everyone knows said 'believers' in their own lives and the ridiculousness of their faith and belief compared to their actions. I do not think it was always like this, but unfortunately now it always is.
Whatever the motivation of the religious, they have embraced the First Unholy Commandment, Live by Lies, and thus the fruit of all their deeds carries with it this vile poison. Everything they ever do is turned to wickedness, sometimes knowingly, sometimes unknowingly, but the result is always the same. Nature lives by the truth alone, those who don't, inevitably conflict with Nature. And Nature always wins. The golden rule "Do unto others as you would have them do Unto you," is already a pernicious, unnatural lie, which if followed, leads to utter ruin. Just consider the folly of treating others as well as you'd like to be treated. Wouldn't we all like to be treated as the king of the world, or at least, very, very nicely? It's obviously impossible for everyone to be given all the wealth, women, power, prestige, and so on, that we prefer people would 'do unto us.' Instead a healthy community must discriminate between superior and inferior people, just like we don't "do unto horses as we would have horses do unto us." I doubt very much we would like for horses to strap a saddle on our backs, mount us, and whip us to run miles around a track for their viewing pleasure--Even so we do just that to them and we don't feel a single pang of guilt for doing so! Why? Because in our judgment, we are superior and thus deserve to be treated better than horses, not equally. It is this belief that informs all our sensible views, but religion has perniciously sabotaged right at the most critical moment when it comes to humans. True morality discriminates, based on reason, uses judgement, and gives to people only precisely what they deserve, based on superiority and inferiority, irrespective of our own inclinations, and with full cognizance of the limited finite resources we have to attribute. Anything we 'do unto another' is something we cannot give any longer to someone else, perhaps someone more deserving, someone better, someone who has done more. It is perverse to reward everyone equally, in the end, it rewards fecundity as the ultimate good because apparently everyone must be taken care of regardless of merit. Which, in the end, means Nigeria will soon own the earth. Like usual, living by lies leads to absurdities in the real world, but ones we are intellectually hamstrung from stopping, due to our crippled minds weighed down by unalterable--stupid--religious creeds. So long as we follow any of the lies these religions have laid down, ultimately the road always leads to self-destructive, society-wide suicidal self-immolation. Religion cannot be mended, it has to go.
However, with the collapse of religion, the world has been left in a moral vacuum, an 'anything goes' mentality, and a sickening 'sentimentalism' which has replaced feelings with ideals. The ultimate sin of the new age is 'hate,' 'compassion' is the ultimate good. No one need do anything in the moral vacuum world, it is enough so long as they feel the right things. Feel non-judgmental, Feel tolerant, Feel sympathetic, Feel. It's enough to drive one mad. And all the while these people who insist we feel only happy thoughts, fill our media and movies with callous, hideous horror movies, gruesome hack and slash murder 'crime mysteries', amoral scheming mafia thugs, sluts, or who knows what. All 'negative' emotions we can enjoy vicariously, in the most mind-numbing and amoral way, while 'happy thoughts' should rule the world through magically thinking the world better. With a positive attitude, everything will work out on its own. "can't we all just get along?" Is their cry. Completely neglecting the finite resources of the planet, the vicious human nature inside of us, and the innate competition life has with all life. Basically, no rigourous thinkers, no geniuses, no men of high character, has created a corpus of atheist literature, atheist music, atheist plays, atheist cathedrals, atheist paintings, atheist spirit to replace the rotton religions of today. There isn't even an atheist bible! No thought out rule of life, no thought out right and wrong, no beliefs at all! A complete negative, on which feeds maggots on the festering corpse like emotions, silly sophmoric slogans, falsities, and self-convenient rationalizations--without reason men are ruled only by passion, and passion, blind instincts, are pernicious in and of themselves, and perhaps worse, easily yoked and controlled by any nearby willing tyrant who wishes to turn them to his own ends. The entire creative thought, all the men of good character and genius, for the past thousands of years, has been bent on creating a healthy culture subservient to religious ideology. All of that is gone now, all the culture dead, its replacement? Hollywood! Cable TV! Internet Porn! And 5 minute commercial interrupted 'news' that consists only of sound bites and never any history or geography or facts, ever, at all. Pop Culture cannot enspirit our people. They are, by and large, living soulless, degraded, hopelessly immoral lives--they are so mired in it they don't even think it wrong, or perverted, or strange, while they endlessly crusade against the last bastions of morality still in existence, endlessly leveling our every attempt to judge, discriminate, and reward justly, to create heirarchies, and to value things according to their inherent worth. Every year pop culture only accelerates the damage of the moral vacuum, instead of repairing it. Every year we are presented with the opportunity to progress beyond religion, but instead dig ever deeper into the most pathetically non-serious, non-thought-out, non-justified theories and beliefs and ideals of all. I suspect the reason for this has something to do with the empowerment of the masses, and thus the rule of stupidity over the world. I suspect that there are right now atheist prophets promoting atheist culture which could revive our senses, could renew our morality, could answer our questions, and meet our needs. But the force of technological and political changes so drowns them out, that nothing can be done. Perhaps the atheist spirit must first wait for such ruination of the world that the masses lose their grip on power through their own self-destruction, leaving only strong willed, well organized elites behind who can finally impose their corpus of culture that was only waiting to emerge into the light of day. That's neither here nor there. Pop culture, at least, is no solution.
While science is good at offering us hard facts, it is not capable of creating a culture, a spirit, a community, or a morality. It is one thing to use science to prove that evolutionarily, one has an advantage if he follows tit-for-tat behavior, or an ingroup cohesion and outgroup hostility, and so on. It is something else to make someone feel, deeply in his soul, that he must do something whatever the cost because it is the right thing to do, that the good is its own reward, and that betraying his principles is worse than death. This is not a field for science, it is a field for art, for culture, for poetry. For truth to sing siren songs that inspire love, devotion, and sanctity. Science cannot create the inviolate or the divine, because it is absolutely material, relative, conditional. By its nature, it cannot lead the hearts of men. An entire textbook on sociobiology is less convincing, less heart-rending, than a single song asking men to do the exact same thing. Science is out.
We must have a moral rennaisance. Morality is not achieved by people wishing it so. Nor is it achieved by asking people to be moral. Morality emerges organically, an interaction between our hearts, our deepest souls, and our culture and civilization. For a fruitful, positive morality to appear, it requires a complete culture, something that addresses ones heart and soul, which answers one's questions, which fulfills ones purpose, which provides ones goals, which defines the sacred and inviolate. Books, music, plays, architecture, gardens, everything is part of this paradigm, this beautiful culture, which is built for us like beavers build their dams. Humans cannot live without it, it is a part of our very bodies, it is like our breath and circulating blood--we create it just as fervently as shelter from the cold. Right next to some basic structure like a house, the very second building built is the church, the schoolhouse, the shrine, the something which feeds us culture alongside our mother's milk. Being born without culture is like being born without a kidney, or lungs, or a brain. It's a stillbirth. The child is destined to die a horrible torturuous life. It's a tragedy. And yet no available culture fulfills any of the basic functions culture must serve! Does anyone even realize this? Does anyone look at our youth today--no worse and probably better than any other generation before them in terms of IQ, health, happy living, education, wealth, etc, ie the greatest raw materials of all time--and wonder why the result is so tragic? That things you never heard of in the past, things unthinkable in the past, now occur so often, in so many people's lives, that it has become the norm? That we have embraced such poisonous beliefs that we're all going to die in less than a single century, one human lifespan? This is insane, and there's a reason for it, it isn't some giant coincidence--we gave birth to entire generations of babies without kidneys, lungs, and brains--we've given birth to a cultureless world.
Right alongside that is our lack of civilization. Civilization, in short, is the willingness to impose by force a moral culture on your people. Civilization is the enactment of good, wheras culture is the definition. Civilization has collapsed into anarcho-tyranny, as Sam Francis so well described, because it lost the will to enforce the good. It hid behind 'tolerance,' 'freedom,' 'privacy,' 'compassion,' and who knows what. In the end, Civilization deserted its post when it lost any belief in itself, any culture that could give it a sacred, give it a purpose, give it the willpower to exist. America has lost its religion, then its culture, then its civilization. It exists only by momentum and each generation is worse off than the last. Our only saving grace is the material advancement of our sciences, however there is, inevitably, some distant point where moral collapse overtakes material gains, and then our country will collapse, dragging science down with it, and burying all the advances we've currently made. There are numerous historical civilizations who fell prey to the same trend. In China, they once could sail all around the world but when the empire fell, the technology fell with them. In Rome, glass was cheap and plentiful but when the culture and civilization fell, the technology fell with them. Factories that once served mass-manufactured goods to the entire empire shut down and trade ended with the rising insecurity, whole arms of the economy ceased to exist. Science cannot outlast morality. Science flourishes in a moral society, but it cannot save an immoral one. It should be indicative to everyone that our moral society was capable in even the 1960's to put men on the moon, but now 50 years later we're retiring the shuttles and making no pretense to engaging with space at all. Maybe it's a coincidence, maybe that 'crossing point' hasn't arrived yet, I don't know. I do know it exists and we will inevitably hit it without a moral renaissance.
Given we need a new morality, given no current solutions exist, given nothing will save us from ourselves and we must create these solutions, this art, philosophy, holy texts, architecture, and so on ourselves, given culture and civilization must exist and must also be true and positive for humanity to survive any length of time, what must be done?
I've previously discussed the sort of serious, hard-hearted, Serious civilization that would enforce morality from above. That would not let freedom or tolerance get in the way of excising moral rot or supporting moral good in its society. That would not allow Plato's greatest sin of calling the good evil or the evil good to go unanswered or unpunished. In my next part, I hope to show the culture of morality that could make people want to be good, love to be good, happily sing while living in this civilization, who would embrace such a world with grace, devotion, a sense of the sacred, and happiness. Civilization requires power, culture does not. We can start on our culture immediately, and it needn't be for all the lemmings that won't listen to us. For our own souls, and those of our children, is reason enough. Having a child without a healthy culture to impart to it, is child abuse. It's a parent's duty to raise a child with a healthy body, mind, and spirit. And so our task begins.
Nevertheless, I dislike religion. At the very heart of religion stands a lie, which poisons everything. As Solzhenitsyn says, "Live not by lies," Is the smallest thing we can ask of man, the least resistance to evil we can make. Without it, evil will always prevail, and good can never flower. It is a lie that all those fanciful things happened in the past, it's mythology, not rigorous science, and when put to a scientific test it falls apart in shambles. It is a lie that logical paradoxes like something 'outside the universe' can still 'affect the universe.' That jesus can be 'fertilized by God' but God is "Spirit." Then what did he fertilize Jesus with? Apparently jesus came out of the womb with two sets of chromosomes not one, so whose material components are those? It's a lie that God is all-powerful, all-knowing, and all-good, because the duty of all good men is to vanquish evil and support the good, something we know and praise instinctively among ourselves, and yet God does nothing to help us or hurt evil-doers. To put it even more basically, no good person, if he had the power, should just watch a rape occur in front of him and say "I can't interfere with the rapist's free will, it's up to him whether he wishes to rape or not, it's none of my business." And yet God is given this exact pass, for this exact lame excuse. It is a lie that this is the best of all possible worlds, and yet God to be perfect must only be capable of perfect creations, and God supposedly rules this world perfectly, and thus this MUST be the best of all possible worlds to fit in with the lie of God. As for Islam no good God could sanction the filthy, evil actions of Muhammed and his swine, or allow such ignorant nonsense as his faulty plagiarism of the Bible, or his making up verses and taking them back again, or his self-justifying revelations that always ruled in his favor. And for Hindu religions, their denial of evolution, their silly beliefs like the soul goes from out of the top of the head, and a thousand other nonsensical beliefs completely outmoded by science proves a 'divine wisdom' source fatuous. The paradoxes go on and on, the lame band-aid excuses pile higher and higher, religion does not pass any level of intellectual rigour. Perhaps there is some sort of supernatural existence we are not aware of, but it can't be any of the established religions, because none of them are consistent with logic or reason, and none of their holy works are self-consistent even by their own definitions. For those who wish for a hereafter, or those who hope the universe is in better hands than our own, I have no wish to shoot you down, I'm often among them. But every established religion and every holy text has had one unholy commandment, 'Live by Lies,' and thus cannot be allowed to remain.
Perhaps there was even a time when the Bible was reasonable to believe in, where people could earnestly think it's true and not know it was a lie. Perhaps before physics, chemistry, biology, and so on were learned, we could still believe seriously the ridiculous fancies of the past. That day is done. With it goes the honest devotion, the sincere morality, of its practitioners. Everyone who still believes in one of the established religions today, is doing so in full knowledge of its obvious falsehood. Everyone today knows that no miracles have ever been witnessed and that everything that happens on earth happens according to predictable natural laws. Everyone knows that diseases are not due to God punishing sinners justly, but unjust, unmerited suffering due to invasion of agrresive microbes, viruses, faulty genes, etc. Everyone knows justice is not done, that natural disasters take out innocent people due to natural laws like heat, pressure, stress, etc. they do not strike down only sinners due to God's intervention. Every believer who hasn't been raised in some sort of isolation chamber, has been provided enough proof that only hypocrites, ignoramuses, and pragmatists remain. My experiences with religious people has so underscored these logical assumptions that on the whole I detest them. They show so little basic morality, so little principled behavior, so little adherence to their own beliefs, that on the whole they are tools and creatures of convenience, who care about nothing but themselves and hold nothing sacred or inviolate under the stars. Give me one of those sweet religious creatures of the 1800's, or the 1200's, or the 300's, who felt religion meant living a righteous life, meant obeying one's betters, meant caring for the poor, meant preserving one's land against the heathens, or meant risking one's life to give birth to child after child, most of whom would never live to adulthood, and the religious strength of will to bury each and every one of them while trooping on through a painful, miserable, short life with an unvanquishable faith and hope in the future.

What can we learn from the election?
This is certainly an historic election. Ever since settlers touched down on American soil in the 1500's, white men have ruled this land. Now a half-white, half-african has taken charge with the overwhelming approval of Americans, and even the majority of white voters. When something happens for the first time in 500 years, it might be time to wonder what has changed and what else might be setting to change in the near future.
For one thing, I don't think Barack Obama is much different from any other democrat, or any other republican for that matter. He parrots the same globalist, anti-racist, multi-cult, socialist creed that the whole world swallows daily by now. There is very little change about him, all his thinking, all his ideas and views, were invented before him by jews, he is just one more in a long line of useful idiots. The election today was no choice anyway, fundamentally McCain and Obama agree on everything. Even more disturbing, no third party won any votes, they didn't even break 1%. So not only have both major parties become completely amalgamized, but no other party in America has any support at all. The same is true ideologically. No other way of thinking is held by any Americans at all, than the multicult. The election has pointed clearly to the complete lack of opposition thinking in America.
What has so changed American thinking, worldwide thinking, that not only did the majority of whites vote for a black anti-white racist radical, and not only was the opposition Mccain, a supporter of amnesty and himself an adopter of a non-white child, but there was no third party support whatsoever for any other way of thinking? You can be a white hating black or a self hating white, but, overall, whites prefer the white hating black. No other vote was even entertained. No matter what whites hates whites, and so does everyone else. We are a mere 10% of the world population today, though we still account for something like 60% of the world economy. (probably more.) This group, with such an obvious record of success in all endeavors, prefers to be led by a black african, whose entire continent probably produces 1% of world GDP. Probably they accept more in charity than they even make and are just a negative world GDP!
Well, no matter. With Obama as president, we can expect more welfare to minorities, more immigration, and more affirmative action. It's likely that as the minority population of the US grows and amnesty is passed, the electorate will shift so far to the democratic left that all further elections in US history will be pre-ordained democratic wins. The republican party, along with the white race that supported it, will simply vanish off the map. This will be a slow, gradual death and perhaps with a few death-throw reverses where republicans win an election here or there. Nevertheless the trend is too definite, too irreversible to imagine any hope anymore. Amnesty will pass, immigration will continue, taxes will rise, white family birth rates will continue to sink as people give up on their country and future, and genocide will occur.
The biggest reason for this inevitability is the complete lack of ideological opposition to the globalist agenda. It has simply flattened all remaining opposition and made them so politically irrelevant they cannot muster 20 people to a rally, or a million people to a vote. Another problem is most people opposed to the multi-cult are personalities that tend to be kneejerk oppositional, fractious, and cranky to begin with. Our disagreement with the system is more a personality disorder than drinking from the nectar of truth and enlightenment. Not only does this discredit the ideology of opposition, but it renders impossible a unification of all the contrary views in America. Most of us are too contrarian to stop schisming and condemning until we're all the way down to a party of one. Confronted with the hundreds of millions of americans who yesterday voted in favor of one world socialist multicult globalism, it is truly a sorry sight.
As I have said before, and as this election proves, a political cure for our problems does not exist. An ideological principled opposition to the multicult does not exist. It simply is not there, despite the tireless efforts of many brave, honest, and committed men. No one cares. All their efforts have been in vain. Any attempt at violence would fail just as miserably as an attempt at voting. 99% of americans approve of either a black radical, or a race traitor, for president. If the 20 or so patriots who, across all america, were to gather together and launch a racial revolution, it wouldn't even make the daily news.
Where does that leave us? There are perhaps three remaining solutions we can hope for.
1) Secession. Perhaps if we choose an isolated, unwanted enough territory, like Alaska, or some icy island in Canada, or Siberia, or the central desert of Australia, or Antarctica, or something, white racists would be allowed their own country, where they could live according to their values and traditions, and secure their existence at least until malicious coloreds decide to finish the job and chase us even there. I am not trying to mock this option, I think just the freedom to be around white faces, speak your mind, and form families and communities, is blessing enough for anyone, and we should jump at the chance. This would secure us the most valuable parts of life, the ones we should really care about. It's enough.
2) Assimilation. Alternatively, we could simply accede to the new world order and make our way the best we can. Pay whatever taxes they ask, let our kids be taught whatever is demanded, put up with whatever crime is done to us, and silently bow our heads without protesting the continuous changing face of the world. At least we could live out our lives in relative peace. We fought the good fight, it's as good a time as any to surrender to the inevitable and just go about our lives working, playing, and loving our kith and kin as best we can.
3) Wait for scientific miracles to completely reverse political and demographic trends. Spaceflight could render everything that happens on earth meaningless. Just a few thousand whites loaded onto a rocket and we could have infinite more opportunities to create a civilization we have dreamed about. Or genetic engineering could make everyone more intelligent, nicer, and so on thus removing the big deal about race anyway. Computers could completely replace humanity with their own values, probably much better than our demented world anyway. Machines could start generating so much wealth we all live like kings and it doesn't matter how evil, stupid, or pathetic we are since all sources of ill will and competition are removed. Virtual worlds could be made so real that all humans do is lie in a vat of liquid and live in our personalized heavens, never crossing paths with real life enemies (though I'm certain plenty of virtual ones will be provided for fun) and lacking any way to hurt them. Perhaps an evil white supremacist mad scientist will invent an ethny-bomb and genocide all nonwhites off the earth. We can always hope!
Naturally solutions 1 and 2 can both interact positively with 3. And if you were thinking about a career in the sciences, by all means take one. You're our last hope. Every other path is gone, due to disinterest in the masses and fractiousness among the remainder. The election has taught us just how weak we really are, just how small a minority we have become, and just how hopeless changing the people's minds has become. Don't think for a minute Obama will reverse America's views on race. The next generation of kids will go through the school system learning what a hero and saviour he was, every generation will be more indoctrinated than the last. The democrats aren't about to give up power now. They have 'racists' by the balls and they're going to squeeze. The courts, the government, the schools, the media, everything belongs to them. Women won't mate with racists because women are ALWAYS more gullible, conformist, and religious and the new religion is the Multicult. Every generation our position will become more ridiculous, less tenable, less numerous than the last. We lost in 1960, our loss became clear this election, november 4th, 2008. This is the end of the line.
Let's hope technology begins a new era, the age of white supremacism, 1492-2008, is curtains.
For one thing, I don't think Barack Obama is much different from any other democrat, or any other republican for that matter. He parrots the same globalist, anti-racist, multi-cult, socialist creed that the whole world swallows daily by now. There is very little change about him, all his thinking, all his ideas and views, were invented before him by jews, he is just one more in a long line of useful idiots. The election today was no choice anyway, fundamentally McCain and Obama agree on everything. Even more disturbing, no third party won any votes, they didn't even break 1%. So not only have both major parties become completely amalgamized, but no other party in America has any support at all. The same is true ideologically. No other way of thinking is held by any Americans at all, than the multicult. The election has pointed clearly to the complete lack of opposition thinking in America.
What has so changed American thinking, worldwide thinking, that not only did the majority of whites vote for a black anti-white racist radical, and not only was the opposition Mccain, a supporter of amnesty and himself an adopter of a non-white child, but there was no third party support whatsoever for any other way of thinking? You can be a white hating black or a self hating white, but, overall, whites prefer the white hating black. No other vote was even entertained. No matter what whites hates whites, and so does everyone else. We are a mere 10% of the world population today, though we still account for something like 60% of the world economy. (probably more.) This group, with such an obvious record of success in all endeavors, prefers to be led by a black african, whose entire continent probably produces 1% of world GDP. Probably they accept more in charity than they even make and are just a negative world GDP!
Well, no matter. With Obama as president, we can expect more welfare to minorities, more immigration, and more affirmative action. It's likely that as the minority population of the US grows and amnesty is passed, the electorate will shift so far to the democratic left that all further elections in US history will be pre-ordained democratic wins. The republican party, along with the white race that supported it, will simply vanish off the map. This will be a slow, gradual death and perhaps with a few death-throw reverses where republicans win an election here or there. Nevertheless the trend is too definite, too irreversible to imagine any hope anymore. Amnesty will pass, immigration will continue, taxes will rise, white family birth rates will continue to sink as people give up on their country and future, and genocide will occur.
The biggest reason for this inevitability is the complete lack of ideological opposition to the globalist agenda. It has simply flattened all remaining opposition and made them so politically irrelevant they cannot muster 20 people to a rally, or a million people to a vote. Another problem is most people opposed to the multi-cult are personalities that tend to be kneejerk oppositional, fractious, and cranky to begin with.
