Thanks people for your coming by every day to check out what’s being said on fyr.

Now that you’re beginning to know enough to decide your fate as post modern prehistoric representatives of the Homo juchremanensis species, wouldn’t it be cool to start telling the unfortunately too many who have not yet attained your level of self-knowledge  they could try and upgrade theirs by reading Homo juchremanensis (epub/kindle)?

… Unless they’ve decided to go on relying on a survival instinct which dinosaurs also possessed.

Happy Easter vacations to all !!!

Psychotic reluctance

Matthew’s Gospel 18:3

“And he said: “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven”

Regarding the term “children” as applied to the faithful, S. Freud (whose “Moses and Monotheism” we heartily recommend for further reading) explains that whereas in pre-existing civilizational/religious schemes, the entity referred to as « people » was nothing more than a reservoir of cheap labor needed to swell the ranks of armies and build all manner of monuments to the glory of their material/spiritual masters, with Moses it is suddenly turned into an under-aged offspring who needs to be educated.

Now, as natural as it may seem to « educate » an actual “child” – if only to pass on to him the means to survive in a potentially dangerous world – the training of adult “children”, when strictly not a professional affair, is bound to raise eyebrows. Some nasty conspiracy theorists go so far as to call it “brainwashing”.

Whatever you think of it, in the year of grace +2025, you only have to switch on any cultural television/radio program to hear some most learned intellectual, often well into old age, utter in a suddenly strangely childlike voice, full of awed tenderness, a “my daddy used to say this” or “my mom would do that”, to get an idea of Homo juchremanensis’ truly psychotic reluctance to assume adult status. May you rest in peace, uncle Sigmund!

 

Why not read  Homo juchremanensis (epub/kindle) and try adulthood for a change ?

 

Eat and be satisfied

When – a couple of years ago – I started documenting the almost three-thousand-year-old three headed domination-based culture I chose to call “Juchreman” (home-grown neologism derived from the French words “Juif”= Jew, “Chrétien”= Christian and “Musulman”= Muslim), I was miles away from guessing just to what extent my little book would prove in touch with the times.

As a starter there is this Deuteronomy, 15:6 – “ For the Lord, your God, has blessed you, as He spoke to you, and you will lend to many nations[…] and you will rule over many nations[…]” – which explains so much of the so-called global « debt crisis » that’s getting worse and worse.

What comes next is much more unbearable to any civilized soul: “To the woman He said, « […] to your husband will be your desire, and he will rule over you. ».”(Genesis 3 :16) and “[…] the head of the woman is man” (1Corinthians 11:3) and “men have been provisioned by Allah over women” (Koran, An-Nisa’). On these basis, in 2023, “around 51,100 women and girls worldwide were killed by their intimate partners” while “more than 640 million women aged 15 and older (26 %) were subjected to intimate partner violence”.  (UN Women facts and figures).

And now, when he isn’t losing his Holy Tariff war, see how the Revd D. Trump turns real estate developer to help one of the ugliest war criminals of all time (and a crook to boot) carry out the designs of the Eternal One : 10. “And it will be, when the Lord, your God, brings you to the land He swore to your fathers[…]to give you, great and good cities that you did not build, 11. and houses full of all good things that you did not fill, and hewn cisterns that you did not hew, vineyards and olive trees that you did not plant, and you will eat and be satisfied.” (Deuteronomy 6).

Around the year 000, apart from the twelve officially listed tribes of Israel, there are dozens of competing Jewish sects that more or less conform to the precepts of the Torah. It is this “more or less” that irritates the Eternal One. One fateful morning, having got up on the wrong side of the bed, He instructs Moses to pass on to his former darlings the program of the rejoicings to come.

We have compiled a non-exhaustive list of these rejoicings for you. One of them relates to a founding element of the Abrahamic software. Guess which one!

Devarim (Deuteronomy), 28

22. “The Lord shall smite thee with consumption, fever, inflammation, scorching heat, parching, jaundice and gangrene, which shall pursue thee until thou perish.”

27. “The Lord will strike you with the ulcer of Egypt, hemorrhoids, scabies and ringworm, from which you cannot recover.

28. The Lord will strike you with delirium, blindness, wandering of the mind […]”

35. “The Lord will strike you in the knees and thighs with a malignant ulcer from which you cannot recover; he will strike you from the sole of your foot to the top of your head.”

43. “The stranger who will be in your midst will rise higher and higher above you, and you will sink lower and lower;

44. he will lend to you, and you will not lend to him; he will be the head, and you will be the tail.”

61. “And even the Lord will bring upon you, until you are destroyed, all kinds of diseases and plagues that are not mentioned in the book of this law.”

Solution in Homo juchremanensis (epub/kindle)

Tariff and conquer

Born in “-384”, Aristotle is sure to have read the Pentateuch and its injunctions to “dominate” the “non-chosen” nations by – among other nuclear weapons – impoverishing them.

Mishlei (Proverbs) 22:7

“A rich man will rule over the poor, and a borrower is a slave to a lender”.

And yet, to the Greek polymath as to his master Plato and a few other “non-chosen” ones, the key words of a city (a planet ?) that wishes to endure are and will forever remain “justice” and “friendship”. Certainly not “domination” through what appears to them as a chrematistic aberration, i.e. the urge to make money out of money. According to the author of the sumptuous “De Anima”, this is “an unnatural activity that dehumanizes those who indulge in it”.

The Holy Tariff war the Revd D. Trump has declared on the non-American world is part and parcel of the socio-economic approach Aristotle strongly warns us against. Again according to the inventor of  logic, for any economy – especially a global one – to function properly, it will need to stick to a perennial scale of measurement, enabling « the exchange of use values for the satisfaction of life”.

Bearing in mind that any commodification of this mere transactional medium ultimately leads to the collapse of the said economy.
