“You will know the truth,” Jesus said in John 8:32, NIV, “And the truth will set you free.”
The reality is, the world all around us gives us evidence for the truth of how things really are.
That’s why science is a valuable pursuit. You look around. You see patterns. You link them up together.
It’s how we learn about the world.
When it comes to the 21st Century, one of our best and brightest is a guy named Jonathan Haidt.
That’s because unlike his Postmodern contemporaries, Haidt actually follows the truth where it leads him…and doesn’t shut it up to fit into his own preconceived prison box.
And the truth he found holds the secret key to the Indo-European Warrior Caste…
SOCIAL CONSTRUCTS NEED NOT APPLY
From 2016-2018, as I was finishing my Bachelor of Arts Degree in Political Communications from Regent University, I discovered the work of Jonathan Haidt.
He’s a social psychologist who uses brain scanning imagery to take a look at what is going on in the brain whenever we’re making a moral decision.
He’s got a two-fold system…an action can lead you to Moral Disgust, or Moral Elevation.
Not too different from Epictetus’ system way back when of “desire and aversion”, and Aristotle’s famous system of “pleasure and pain”!
He’s in good company!
But what links Haidt to the wisdom of the Classical masters is that his empirical studies have found that these feelings of Moral Disgust and Moral Elevation are hard-wired into our brains…
They don’t just come from “Social Constructs” of the Postmodernists or Tabula Raisa conditioning of the Modernists…
They come from an Eternal Human Nature.
GOOD FEELINGS AND BAD
Based off of extensive research all around the world, Haidt found some interesting things.
Across different Races and Genders, Colors and Creeds, Classes and Ages, Haidt found that Human Beings have Six Moral Foundations hardwired into their brains and their guts.
The Moral Disgust? You do a bad thing, you get a bad feeling. The Moral Elevation? You do a good thing and you get a good feeling.
Plain and simple.
But here’s the kicker…not everybody seems to be wired at the same intensity with all Six Moral Foundations.
And so, as Jim Croce sang, “The trouble soon began…”
THE BIG 6 ON THE LEFT AND RIGHT
Haidt laid out these Six Foundations in his book, The Righteous Mind: Why Good People are Divided by Politics and Religion, penned in 2012, and updated in 2014.
They are:
- Care vs. Harm
- Fairness vs. Cheating
- Loyalty vs. Betrayal
- Authority vs. Subversion
- Sanctity vs. Degradation
- Liberty vs. Oppression
Haidt noted that the Liberals in the United States tend to favor Care vs. Harm, Fairness vs. Cheating, and sometimes Liberty vs. Oppression. World Revolution, anybody?
Meanwhile, he found that Conservatives in the United States tend to favor all six, but with a strong emphasis on Loyalty vs. Betrayal, Authority vs Subversion, and Sanctity vs. Degradation.
Haidt came to these conclusions over a decade ago. And as he himself admits, peoples’ moral leanings have changed quite a bit since then.
And this fact provides a springboard for further analysis that not even Haidt could come up with!
Analysis on the Indo-European Warrior Caste…
DON’T BUY THE HYPE
Let’s take a look beyond the Political Arena, and into the deeper Metaphysical and Mythological Arena upon which Politics is merely an expression of.
I have to admit it…years ago in my University years, when I was citing Haidt in every one of my writings to refute the Postmodern idea of “No Human Nature”, I bought into the hype on the surface.
And that hype was: “Hey, if Care vs. Harm, Fairness vs. Cheating, and Liberty vs. Oppression are all for the Left, then the other three foundations the Right likes must be more valuable.”
And since then, a lot of people, disgusted by the overreach of Postmodernism, have bought into the hype, too.
But when it comes to the Metaphysics and Mythology of the Indo-European Warrior Caste, we’ve got to look a little deeper, beyond the surface.
WHAT KAMALA HARRIS KNEW
The Metaphysics and Mythology of the Indo-European Warrior Caste is built upon the Moral Foundation of Fairness vs. Cheating.
“What?” I can hear you say.
When it comes to Fairness vs. Cheating, the whole idea brings to mind images of weak, whining Leftist youth complaining about how “Life is not Fair!”
All because they didn’t get exactly what they wanted, right now, right away…for themselves or whoever else they wanted it for.
But there’s another element to it.
You see, the Fairness and Cheating of these weak, whining youth, and the Leftist ideology that fills their brains, is an expression of “Equality of Outcome”…
You know, the famed “Equity” that everybody on the Left in the United States has been screaming about from 2020-2024.
As Joe Biden’s Vice President and 2024 Democrat Presidential Candidate Kamala Harris summarized the idea:
“Equitable treatment means we all end up in the same place.”
But this is not the Fairness of the Indo-European Warrior Caste.
Not by a long shot.
CONFRONTATIONAL VS. PREDATORY
As I have noted previously, what separates the Indo-European Warrior Caste from its Third World foes is the dichotomy of Confrontational vs. Predatory Warrior Cultures.
And the Confrontational Warrior Culture of the Indo-European Warrior Caste is built on Fairness.
You fight up-front, mano-a-mano, straight-shooting. Both you and your foe get a fair shot.
There is none of this sneaky, stab-in-the-back, fish-in-a-barrel stuff of the Predatory Warrior Culture.
That is Cheating…and the problem with the Predatory Warrior Castes of the Third World is that they venerate this kind of cheating.
At the end of the day, this means one thing:
- Indo-European Confrontational Warrior Culture = Fairness
- Third World Predatory Warrior Culture = Cheating
And this Metaphysical and Mythological difference in value is what separates the Solar Sky-Flying Eagle from the Lunar Earth-Bound Snake.
But how does the Indo-European Warrior Caste Fairness differ from the Leftist “Equitable” kind of Fairness, you ask?
Because surely, they are not the same thing!
WE ALL GET THE SAME SHOT
Unlike the “Equity” kind of Fairness that Kamala Harris describes as “Equality of Outcome”, the Indo-European Warrior Caste kind of Fairness is “Equality of Opportunity”.
Now most people associate this phrase, “Equality of Opportunity”, with the Economics of the Merchant Caste…
You know, you can all start a business but not all businesses will succeed…
But the truth is, “Equality of Opportunity” kind of Fairness really has its roots in the Indo-European Warrior Caste.
That’s because in Confrontational Warrior Culture, we all get the same shot at winning…Red, Yellow, Black, and White. They all get the same shot.
That’s why we’re fighting up-front, mano-a-mano, straight-shooting.
But there will only be one winner and one loser. The outcome is not equal.
But your chance at winning and losing is.
AS SIMPLE AS IT GETS!
“You will know the truth,” Jesus said in John 8:32, NIV, “And the truth will set you free.”
And the truth is…Fairness vs. Cheating is the very foundation of the Indo-European Warrior Caste.
It’s more than whining Leftwing activists on university campuses. It’s more than crackpot ideas that everybody comes out the same.
No, it’s something much more….
Because whether it’s the tale of Aryans vs. Dravidians, Knights vs. Dragons, Cowboys vs. Indians…
It’s all built around the Moral Foundation of Fairness vs. Cheating.
So there you have it…
The secret key to the Indo-European Warrior Caste!
