I found @BretWeinstein appearance on @joerogan quite interesting. I am in alignment with some of his ideas about the sources of economic inequality and the failure of the Democratic party. I too have pretty much left that party behind.
I thought the story of the intentional destruction of the black family was told in a compelling way and made some good points. That certainly is part of the tragedy of the black community in America.
I shared some of his disappointments over the performance of the Obama administration. For me that data point undermines his "big fix" which involves a better POTUS. Certainly a better POTUS is an improvement, but insufficient to address the broad maladies we face.
I thought @fullydavid 's video on the IDW was helpful. . I think he is right in believing that the way forward is NOT simply a return to modernism and "science", which @BretWeinstein and others sort of wave like a flag.
Science is a powerful tool, but its power is in isolating variables and finding one key relevant factor that changes the game. The challenges we face involve massive multi-variable systems.
What I hear from @ConceptualJames and others is classical liberalism but again there isn't a simple going back. While there is always a sort of going back and reclaiming a lost aspect the new comprehensive way forward also has new learnings.
.@RafeKelley and @vervaeke_john had I thought a very productive conversation. and I can see a growing appreciation of an integral aspect moving forward. The fruits of modernity not lost but integrated.
Any conversation that can't somehow recognize how it is the religious layer of the human stack that is the level at which the multiple variables are integrated isn't understanding why iconoclasm is back.
You're not paying attention if you don't recognize that the conversation moving forward will be theological in nature even if modernists can't recognize religion untagged by the modernist concept of "supernatural"
I would recommend a fresh reading of the Sermon on the Mount in these times. and
Many of these virtual and IRL conversation partners dismiss efforts with Christian DNA because they say 1. It's been tried and has failed or 2. There's no time.
I recommend @holland_tom book amazon.com/Dominion-Chris… to recognize that our present moral struggle is between competing elements WITHIN the Christian DNA.
There's no time? We are surrounded by populations and institutions formed by this DNA. I'd suggest there is no time to remake the wheel. Figure out how to use the resources at hand.
