Control

No there is a list of things to do and not do. The point of the religion is to get people to do it. It was enforced by the sword for centuries.

Hym "You're conflating the theoretical positive effects it may have and the good people who engage in the practice with the religion itself. You're just trying to get tour greedy fingers on the moral authority of God. Liberalize the religion so your values have the backing of a creator deity EXPLICITLY TO CONTROL THE AMOUNT RADICALIZATION. You are worse than every Red-pill sophist. No matter how much hatred they have in their hearts, no matter toxic they are... There is just as much evidence that the red pill shit-heads are correct in their assessment of women... As there is evidence for the positive benefits of religion."

Atheist plant "But toxic vs good though! Hatred! HaAaAaAatred! Hate bad!"

Hym "The hatred is not the first link in the antecedent chain. Negative experience -> Hatred -> Articulation -> Substantiation. And toxicity isn't worse for society that alcohol or sugar."

Atheist plant "But I'm gonna broaden toxicity INTO alcohol though!"

Hym "Both are allowed and fine."

Social Control Theory

The study of how elites (states, corporations, institutions) keep the masses in line using a trio of levers: Money (economic incentives/debt), Ideology (narratives like patriotism or wokeness), and Fear (of chaos, violence, or ostracism). Jiang posits that stable societies master all three: pay people enough to be comfortable, convince them the system is just, and scare them with what happens if it falls. The theory examines which lever is pulled during crises—print more money, ramp up propaganda, or unleash the police.

Example: "During the pandemic, Social Control Theory was on full display: Money (stimulus checks), Ideology ('we're all in this together'), and Fear (of disease and social shaming). When one lever failed, they doubled down on the other two."

Imaginary Control Theory

The radical idea that the most powerful forces in society—Money, Individual rights, and Nation-States—are collective hallucinations we all agree to believe in. A dollar bill is just paper; a border is just a line; your "freedom" is just a story. Jiang's theory states that power is the ability to control these shared fictions and make them feel real and immutable. The most successful elites are the master world-builders who can create a new "imaginary" (like cryptocurrency or a new national identity) and get millions to buy into it.

Example: "Imaginary Control Theory explains Bitcoin: it's a new shared fiction of value, created from nothing, that competes with the old fiction of the U.S. dollar. The 'truth' is just whichever story more people believe and enforce. It's all a meta-game of make-believe with tanks and bank accounts."
