Shaping The Ultimate Mythos

 

It’s amazing when the penny drops. But the penny doesn’t drop nearly often enough when it comes to the human race. Strange events can cause the penny to drop. Consider the bizarre world of the cult of Hyperianism, led by a self-evident pathological narcissist, a man relentlessly grooming, brainwashing and radicalizing a bunch of submissive weaklings, extremely vulnerable to manipulation and exploitation. Corey Rebhahn – a compulsive grifter and one of the most extreme plagiarists the world has ever seen (literally not a single idea that goes into his “Hyperian explanation of existence” originated with him or his Hyperian cult, though he has enormously monetized these ideas over five years and counting) – is the kind of person who says, “If God didn’t want them to be fleeced, he wouldn’t have made them sheep.” Cult leaders always feast on flocks and herds.

 

Jonathan Swift said,

All of the people who exited from Hyperianism were able to reason their way out. Rationally, Hyperianism is totally finished, but on it goes – because it’s an irrational cult, and that’s what irrational cults do. Those who didn’t exit Hyperianism were those who couldn’t reason their way out – because reason did not bring them to Hyperianism in the first place. It’s clear that emotion and identity brought them to Hyperianism. Hyperians, those that are still in the cult, are in love with Corey Rebhahn, and obsessed with this plagiarist grifter. 100% of them share one or more of his veganism, his “RTS”, his gender dysphoria, his freakishness, his weirdness, his outsiderism, and his rejection of, and by, mainstream society. They have emotionally bonded with him and so can NEVER escape from Hyperianism, unless that emotional bond gets broken. Reason and logic will never be relevant to that.

 

A person who says, “You cannot reason a person out of a position he did not reason himself into in the first place” is a thinking type. Feeling types talk about love and light, unconditional love, and loving relationships. Once they have “felt” their way into a position, only a change of feelings can get them out. Sensing types are all about what they perceive. The scientific method literally starts with the instruction to OBSERVE the world. Right away, that’s a statement of a sensing type. A thinking type definitely doesn’t start with observing anything. Mathematics doesn’t start with observing anything. A sensing type automatically asks for sensory evidence. They cannot conceive of a non-sensory domain. What about intuitives? They are typically mystics who say they have reached a mental state that shows all of reality but cannot be expressed in words, because words are manmade and cannot reach the core of reality. They always encourage everyone to meditate, to be mindful, pray, contemplate, or take psychedelic drugs. They NEVER tell you to think, to use reason and logic. It’s amazing how hated reason and logic are. Rebhahn is always going on about psychedelics. NK always said Rebhahn was a total druggie.

 

The battlelines are clear.

 

Anyway, what does this have to do with the search for the Ultimate Mythos that unites all humans? Well, we’re actually highlighting the intrinsic difficulties.

 

But here’s a quick way to start thinking productively about the problem.

 

Let’s imagine four different worlds – one for thinking types, one for feeling types, one for sensing types, and one for intuitives.

 

Imagine a planet populated EXCLUSIVELY by feeling types. So, you get feelings and nothing else. What would this world be like? What would its political systems be like? What would its psychology and sociology be like? What would its heaven be, and its hell? What monsters would it dream of? What would its truth be?

 

The point is to come to a complete understanding of the feeling type by imagining a world that consists only of feeling types and their feelings. That way, we can start to get to grips with what kind of story would entice feeling types.

 

Then we can carry out the same exercise for the other three types. The end result would be a collection of four ideal stories. Each story would be the ultimate mythos for the type it specifically addresses. However, each of these stories would be repulsive to the other types.

 

Christianity is very close to the perfect Myths for feeling types, which is why it is the most successful religion in history. It makes emotional sense, but no rational sense, but who cares? Look at Hyperianism – a totally emotional cult, wholly devoid of reason and logic, despite prattling on about them as if they have something to do with a homeschooled Christian weirdo. This Rebhahn gets more and more Christian with each passing day. Soon, he will have morphed into Mary Magdalene as his latest grift. Come on, Rebhahn, get your dress on and strut around as the wife of Jesus. You know you want to.

 

Islam is very successful because it tunes into the FATHER archetype. Who would the best father be? Muslims see themselves as CHILDREN, submitting to the supreme Father who wants only the best for them. They do not have an adults’ view of the world; feeling types rarely do. What would cause feelings to mature? You HAVE feelings, you can’t refine them. They’re just there. An old man’s feelings are just as raw as a baby’s. In thinking terms, however, an old man is completely different from a baby. That’s not true for feelings. No emotional evolution occurs. Feeling types always respond to powerful emotions in the moment, and aspire to ultimate emotions, such as unconditional, eternal love – which is personified as “God”.

 

Feeling types love cults because they generate strong, obsessive emotions. Just look at the Hyperian cult. It’s quite the thing to encounter people who are 100% brainwashed and have no way out because they are in the emotional state of LOVE that they crave. Only if they fall out of love, or their cult is removed from them by external forces, can their obsession end. And it probably doesn’t end but becomes some permanent trauma in their lives. “RTS”, and all that. Wink.

 

By the way, since Islam is all about the father archetype (so is Judaism), there’s scope for a new Abrahamic religion based on the mother archetype. Christianity is very feminine, but not feminine enough. It really needed Mary Magdalene to be its Messiah. There’s a gap in the market, Rebhahn. Make Hyperianism the cult of Mary Magdalene. You can whine on forever about how you are empowering women and taking on the toxic patriarchy. A dream come true, right Morguey Boy? Or should we call you Mary now? Or how about an androgynous Jesus and Mary hybrid?

 

Anyway, moving on, let’s assume that we could in principle establish an ultimate mythos for each of the four different psychological types. The question is how do you bring these four stories together to make a single Ultimate Mythos for all four types? The problem is that the stories are now in CONFLICT.

 

To illustrate this problem, let’s imagine a fifth planet – a “mixed” planet. Let’s imagine that one hundred people from each of the four other planets is kidnapped and then deposited on this fifth planet.

 

In fact, let’s call this planet Earth, and let’s say that the other four planets exist in different star systems. Four ALIEN SPECIES are brought together and they are surrounded by people who couldn’t be any more alien. They can’t understand each other AT ALL. A pure-thinking type can’t feel. A pure feeling type can’t conduct reasoning.

 

So, imagine that someone – a “prophet” – came along and said that everyone needed to interbreed in order to come to an understanding of the others. Well, after generations, everyone would eventually have a bit of each type, but is that solving the problem? Now a thinking type can feel a bit, and a feeling type can do some reasoning, but all the fundamental problems still exist. Thinking types don’t feel enough, and never will, and feeling types do not reason enough, and never will.

 

We cannot arrive at perfectly balanced types. Or can we? Jung talked about a transcendent function and individuation. Could that make us all equally balanced individuals? And would that actually be a desirable state? Or would we have actually lost the benefit of each original type? A thinking type who became a balanced type is no longer a thinking specialist and can’t think as well as before. A feeling type has abandoned pure feelings, and so on.

 

What about a time-sharing solution – imagine a person who could become a thinking type at one point, then switch to feeling, or sensing, or intuition. So, we keep all the pure systems, but on a time-share basis. That sounds impractical, and impossible to generate in evolutionary terms.

 

In any case, for the Hegelian dialectic to work, we actually want theses and antitheses, against which we can apply a synthesis process, and then keep reiterating until we arrive at the final synthesis.

 

Hegel proposed the dialectic in terms of PHILOSOPHY. But the world doesn’t rate Hegel. The world was partly communist for a while and that came from Marx’s dialectical MATERIALISM, which was based on economic class struggle. This was POLITICAL rather the PHILOSOPHICAL.

 

What we need is something PSYCHOLOGICAL, operating by way of compelling, beguiling, archetypal stories.

 

Think of all the biggest, most seductive stories ever told – religious, spiritual, political, and those furnished by the entertainment industry. How could we blend all of these stories into one – into one Super Mythos, the Ultimate Mythos with something for everyone? Is it even possible?

 

Or, could we establish a dialectical story, i.e., we build the dialectic into it and rely on it coming to the right, ultimate story in due course, across history. But if such a story is possible, why can’t we work it out right now? Why wait for the dialectic? Let’s just imagine the dialectic having already happened, and we have arrived at the final synthesis, the ultimate story. So, what would it be?

 

Well, this is exactly what we need to work out.

 

But before we can get to that, perhaps it would be more fun to consider another ultimate Mythos – the ultimate horror story. Could we construct a horror story that massively appeals to feeling types, sensing types, intuitives and thinking types? What would the ultimate monster be? The Devil is the ultimate religious monster but seems too remote and vague. How can we make the Devil as vivid as possible in the human imagination?

 

The medieval Christian mind had a visceral grasp of demons and devils, but that has been lost due to science. Can we bring it back psychologically?

 

What we would love to achieve is a dialectical philosophy, dialectical politics, dialectical science, dialectical spirituality, dialectical mathematics, dialectical art – all the different dialectical domains of Becoming – but laid over the non-dialectical eternal and necessary domain of Being, which is pure math, pure frequency, pure sinusoidal waves, and these – the ultimate universals – provide all possible particulars.

 

We are developing a dialectical science to make it easier to migrate scientific materialism and empiricism to mathematical idealism and rationalism. You can’t just expect people to undergo a paradigm shift like that. The dialectic is the universal dynamic.

 

So, all of the dialectical processes of Becoming reach their Absolute state where they intersect with Being – at zero entropy, with a temperature of absolute zero, with perfect superconductivity. This is Pure Mind. We can call it God.

 

But to get everyone on board with this way of thinking, this way of relating to reality, based ultimately in the eternal and necessary domain of Being but necessarily generating a cyclical temporal and contingent domain of Becoming, we, first of all, need a compelling Mythos … the ultimate story.

 

Getting to the ultimate Mythos may take time. We may need to perform many experiments. And, given the astonishing success of QAnon – a conspiracy theory that materially changed the world – maybe we need to start off addressing the Ultimate Conspiracy Theory, which will of course be somewhat destructive, and then move on to the ultimate constructive Mythos. To play the construction game, we need to fully understand the destructive side of things. How can you understand love in the absence of hate?

 

There are plenty of different tasks to be undertaken. What they all amount to is building a DIALETICAL understanding of reality into everything humanity does, but realizing that this dialectic – relayed by matter, space, time, the contingent, history … Becoming … is all made possible by non-dialectical Being, made of pure ontological mathematics (pure, eternal sinusoids).

 

There are many contingent “answers” to existence – an infinite number, in fact (all paths and all truths, we might say), but they are laid over the one, absolute objective answer to existence, which is ontological mathematics, which is what “God” actually is, and all of us are nodes of God. God is the total collection of all such nodes.

 

So, the dialectic is the essence of Becoming, while ontological mathematics, in its pristine form, is the essence of Being, which is the source of Becoming (the eternal and necessary order supports the temporal and contingent order; the latter doesn’t randomly erupt into existence out of nothing at all, and nor is there any infinite regress, and nor is there any multiverse). There is a fundamental basis of existence – and it is mathematics, mathematics with an eternal and necessary ontology.

 

To teach this as Logos fails. We have already tried! And so, the game is to produce a Mythos version, a story so compelling that it transforms the whole human race. And since everyone who participates in the project is a NODE OF GOD, there is no reason why we shouldn’t be able to produce a godlike story. Human history is nothing but the history of humanity trying to establish what this ultimate story is, but getting sidetracked by feeling, thinking, sensing and intuitive side stories. We need the story that works for everyone.

 

The great thing is that people don’t need to know advanced philosophy, science or math to make a massive contribution to this project. You just need to be good with stories, understand the basic human experience, mass culture, what makes people tick, and basic human psychology.
