6:00 Space starts with excuses for women.

7:00 The age of chivalry

8:00 "A man is a servant in courtship, but a lord in marriage."

Marriage has to be a good bargain for men.

9:00 CBT

10:00 Fight or flight?

11:00 Risk averse women decline to engage with social pariahs.

12:00 High IQ people are not necessarily wise.

13:00 Wisdom Quotient and the definition of wisdom

Wisdom is the abillit to solve and avoid problems with a minimum of information.

Bismarck: "Only a fool learns from his own mistakes. A wise man learns from the mistakes of others."

15:00 Should we, can we and how will it turn out?

Fundamentally pessimistic, Game Theory accelerates a race to the bottom of being ruled by warlords when what we want is the rule of law.

16:00 Bureaucracy

17:00 William the Conqueror's Domesday Book was really a Land Registry.

18:00 Inventory

19:00 Consultation is the principle of shura.

22:00 RICHARD FAN joins to attack Secular Koranism.

Not all Communists have read Das Kapital or The Communist Manifesto.

23:00 Richard Fan asked me why God did not reveal the Koran in Chinese. He already knew the Chinese would only turn their noses up at it and say the Koran has nothing to teach them.

24:00 God gave low status people divine revelation to show how even low status people can acquire empire and acquire the reputation of controlling the world if they faithfully obeyed His laws.

25:00 Sichuan Province

26:00 Richard satirically praise democracy.

29:00 CONSPIRACY joins.

30:00 The appeal of Communism

31:00 Marxism is like a religion to the Chinese.

32:00 Communism is based on the truism of historical materialism.

33:00 The Hegelian Dialectic

34:00 People are prepared to die for status.

Kant and Hegel

36:00 The struggle for status and resources continues.

37:00 Martyrdom

38:00 Seppuku

Roman generals and Roman triumphs

40:00 Suicide missions soldiers go on

41:00 Judaism is a victim of cultural appropriation.

42:00 Thoughts are deeds, according to Jesus.

43:00 The New Testament

The vocative is used in the Koran.

44:00 The Torah is in the third person.

45:00 Hearsay evidence

46:00 The Torah and Koran are direct evidence of God's word.

47:00 Muhammad was known as the Unlettered Prophet.

Hearsay

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hearsay

48:00 The scriptural claim of Judaism and Islam is higher than that of Christianity. Jews the Torah to be the directly revealed Word of God. Ditto Muslims as regards their Koran. Christians do not claim that the New Testament was written by Jesus, let alone God.

49:00 The Council of Nicaea supports the claim that its purpose was to agree on Christian doctrine.

50:00 It is impossible to follow the New Testament because it says nothing clearly.

51:00 Is the monarch above the law?

52:00 The age of consent

53:00 The Torah and Koran should be considered the primary source of the Word of God while the Talmud and Hadith - which are interpretations of the Torah and Koran - should be considered the secondary source.

54:00 The Edict of Papal Fallibility 1871

55:00 Both the Pope and the Archbishop of Canterbury submit to the liberal order.

The separation of powers between priest and king was not observed in the Hasmonean Dynasty.

56:00 Constitutional dictator > absolute monarchy

58:00 WW3

59:00 Ultimate control

1:00:00 Rejecting the liberal order

1:01:00 Radical ideas

1:02:00 Catholic Confessional State

1:03:00 The Reformation proved that Christianity is incapable of reform.

The Reformation was inevitable because it was only a matter of time before European monarchs rebelled from the Pope.

1:06:00 The difference between religion and politics is a distinction without a difference. Arguments on these subjects will always centre on what is right and what is wrong as well as what is good and what is evil.

1:07:00 Thomas Cranmer

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Cranmer

Magna Carta

1:08:00 Death warrants

North Korea is a monarchy in disguise.
