Why is the Academy the source of humanity’s greatest tragedies?
It has taken on the power and prestige of the church. Like the church, it is seeped in dogma and quick to denounce heretics. Like the church, it is an aggressive proselytizer, though a more subtle one — “universal higher education.”
As AJ Nock observed, we used to teach Greek and Latin in high school. Now we teach remedial English in Universities. That’s what happens when what used to be an elite, exclusive institute for the able becomes a pulpit for mass conversion to the secular religion of post-modernism.

THE GREATEST TRAGEDY IN HUMAN HISTORY ?

RE: Lawrence Krauss says Religion Could Be Gone In a Generation.
WHICH RELIGION?
That presupposes that Democratic Secular Pseudoscientific Humanism isn’t also a religion. Which is what he presupposes. And what all of the members of the Cathedral presuppose.
But, all things considered, there is no comparison between Christianity’s unification of Europe, or even the Stoic Schools, and:
1) The death and destruction of Marxism led by the Academy, and the battle against it – resisted by the Academy,
2) Keynesianism (reformed marxism) – led by the academy, and fought by religious groups;
3) The cognitive, social, and normative damage done by postmodernism – led by the academy, fought by traditionalist groups;
4) Anthropological, biological, and social pseudoscience and psychologism – led by the academy and fought by religious and traditional groups;
5) The destruction of the law of property and the common law – led by the academy and fought by religious and traditional groups.
6) The current pseudoscientific justification of democracy – led by the academy, and fought by traditional groups.
7) The destruction of the family – led by the academy and resisted by religious groups.
So if we critically, empirically, rationally, and scientifically analyze the comparative differences, then all that we would find, is that eliminating mysticism and replacing it with general rules, has made more effective workers. But in every other respect, religion and tradition have been superior to rational and pseudoscientific and immoral advocacy by the academy.
THE ACADEMY AS IMMORAL PRIESTHOOD
The academy functions as a religion because its central propositions – other than the nearly accidental success at disassembling the physical universe into general rules – are ALL FALSE.
In fact, physical science used to justify all the other falsehoods of the Pseudoscientific democratic secular socialist humanitarian religion, despite the contrary evidence.
So the Cathedral: the academy and state religion – which persists by profiting both materially and in social status, from the sale of dysgenic reproduction, via the generation of hyper-consumption, and the consequential destruction of the family, is a religion. A reilgion wherein millions of horrid crimes against not only humanity, but western civilization, are justified by but one success – science – over which its fallacies have no jurisdiction.
The irony is suffocating.
So. Yes. It would be wonderful if we could stamp out religion in one generation. Especially the religion of pseudoscientific democratic secular, socialist humanism. Which has finally succeeded in overcoming the christianization of Europe as the greatest tragedy in human history.
ALTERNATIVES
I have a wonderful suggestion. Why don’t we return to worshiping, as in, holding celebrations of remembrance for, our heroes in:
1) Our Military generals and our statesmen.
2) Our Philosophers, scientists and engineers.
3) Our Saints, Caretakers, Healers, nurses, and mothers.
4) Our Entrepreneurs, Capitalists, businessmen and laborers who struggle to raise us from poverty to prosperity.
5) Our tribes and families which as kingdoms bear each other no offense, and every possible opportunity to learn.
6) The planet that birthed, raised, loves and nurturers us, and upon which we depend.
BUT WAIT!!!!
Oh. Wait!!! That would mean returning us to our original european religion before the state imposed Christianity upon us by forcing closed the stoic schools and imposing the church upon us, in the same way that the academy and state have incrementally destroyed our churches, and imposed pseudoscientific, democratic secular socialist humanism upon us!!!!
HISTORY
History is the only thing worth celebrating. Our heroes the gods to speak to – meaning pray to. Because if we understand the lives of those heroes well enough, we will find that the answers to our prayers to them are already within us waiting to be heard.
SCIENCE IS THE PRESTIGE – A DISTRACTING GESTURE BY WHICH THE LIARS JUSTIFY THEIR LIES
Science is a ruse to distract us from history. The false dichotomy the liars have created is between the church and science, when it is between history, pseudoscience, and mysticism.
