I think that they have to be.

Etymologically, the root of religion comes from either lego,(“collection/selection of words”) or ligo,(“to bind”).

Axioms, vocabulary, metaphysics, or the creed, the code, and the cult. That looks like elements of x (economics), y (politics), and z (culture) to me.

Abstract reason is irrational, which is what one would expect from a contrarian ideology such Randism.

An unrealized ideal like free market capitalism is a non-empirical referent, or false concept. Those future events are hypotheticals, which makes them non-experiential, or non-sensory.

Nonsense.

Kind of sounds contrarian. Taking that opposite stance just to force the middle ground.

This is praxisnation.com, one of Thiel’s projects. He’s also an Ayn Rand fan. Notice the Aten symbolism. Not coincidental.

Quite a few that are arguably older, but most are still around that 10000BCE range. Being off by a few hundred years is better than 10,000.

Try it out on an excel sheet. It works in the background if you learn it.

The Holocene Calendar aligns historical time with geological and archaeological time. It ties our era and cognition to both the start of the Holocene, and to ancient sites like Göbekli Tepe, making deep human history part of the same embedded framework.

It is also incredibly easy to convert by adding 10,000 to the Gregorian year. 2025 becomes 12025, and “0” becomes 10000. No more negative dates, or switching between BC and AD. Just one unified chronology. Months, weeks, days, etc. all remain the same.

(I don’t know the answer.)

We also know that the 4D analogues for the regular dodecahedron (120-cell) and icosahedron (600-cell) are confirmed duals.

What shape do we get if we compound the 600-cell and 120-cell, and what would be its dual? Shouldn’t this be analogous to a 4D rhombic triacontahedron embedded in spacetime?

Ok, so what happens if you compound an icosahedron and a regular dodecahedron? You get the icosidodecahedron, which lets us identify its dual, the rhombic tricontahedron.

The RT has 30 rhombic faces whose geometry lies in the golden ratio. 32 vertices, 60 edges, 30 faces.

Comparing their 4D analogues, if you compound the 8-cell and a 16-cell? It becomes 24-cell, or hyper-diamond, which self-duals like the 5-cell.

This works going from four dimensions down to three as well.

Sleep well!

They’re awesome. Would love to see some more of these.

If you’ve seen my posts on Atenism, this is the place and time when everything happens, with Ramses II definitely involved in what was already an on-going persecution of Atenism started by Horemheb 40ish years prior.

Really interesting architecture. First thing that it reminded me of is Convocation Hall at University of Toronto.

I remember Alan Watts joking that if you claim to be god in the West, they’ll think that you’re mad. If you say it in India, they’ll say congratulations, you’ve finally figured it out.

The Indo-European model is a cosmic drama, in which every role is played by the great cosmic actor, the Brahman.

Oh, I liked this. Thank you for this. The divine looking at itself is a very Hindu way of thinking too. Interesting that you post this, as I just posted something else about the Nous as well.

The Greeks associated Hermes with Thoth, so talking about complementary demiurges sounds like set theory.

Ah, I just dived into the etymology a bit more. The word nous in french is not a cognate with we. They’re both first-person plural, yes, but different cases. Going back to Proto-Indo-European.

Nous is a cognate to “us”, originally a type of object pronoun case (ie. ablative).
