I assume you have seen my solution. This doesn't fix most of humanity, but I don't care. A solution that works for the few reasonable people currently stuck in this godforsaken world is good enough.

Because those Christian groups that reject the Old Testament are all evil.

I'm not familiar with those groups. Unless you mean the belief that the Old Testament has been superseded by the new? In that case, it's more of a 'that was then, this is now' situation. Still important to know, but no longer "the rules".

I only played chess, never go. Was around 1800, but a few wins against a 2300.

Of course the big question is whether I can convince other people to support the Arkian idea.

What would be the selling point? How would it differ from the traditional cult? As for group cohesion, you'd almost have to have physical proximity, which would lead back to the community issues.

Yes but degree varies. In the modern Protestant churches that I have seen, the Old Testament is essentially ignored. In contrast, Mennonites refer to the Old Testament often.

I was also mostly a chess player, but Go is a better game. If you were 1800, then learning basic Go will be easy for you.

There is no selling point except to intelligent people who want to preserve intelligence, and that means basically no one. So the only practical way to promote this is to first promote moving to Colonia Vianna and then explain to those who move there that if they don't want their descendants to assimilate into Mexico that this is the best option. Of course I need to move there first which I hope to do soon. Your solution of "massive population reduction" would play out over a long time and isn't sure to work. It is basically a repeat of the middles ages. My solution is more promising in the short term, but still a long shot.

Are you familiar with this theory of how and why our current reality is the way it is? I've only watched the first video so far, and the claims are pretty 'far-reaching'.

Off topic, but I still had this tab open.
