Toxic parents often raise children who go on to be toxic parents themselves, and if they are Christian they can trace their line all the way back to their God. That's heritage for you. "And don't you dare question heritage, you snotty little sc##t, or I will beat you till you can not stand up for a week." People make gods in their own image.

Its called a perfect storm. And it may have a long way to go yet before it blows itself out. But they do end. And in the meantime all I can say, as a foreigner looking at the big picture from a distance, is that, US democracy has always been strong, and people will not forget that. So that even if fascism, vodoo, anti-environmentalism, theocracy, plague, and/or whatever, triumph for a while, people will not forget that, and will realize what its worth is when they see the other side full in the face, whether they can rebuild a true strong democracy again, that is another issue.

Let's talk about the individualism, masculinity, and Spartans.

Amusing little facto. The Spartans had a law that punished any warrior who returned home without his shield, because he/she ( it was sometimes she ) lost it in battle. Not the sword or the spear etc. just the shield, because the shield was what protected your neighbors in formation, and Spartan warriors were encouraged to take cover behind the next fighters shield as a tactical ploy.

PS. to your healthy diet advice to anyone reading. In order to avoid stones, especially bladder stones which can be nearly as bad. It is important to take the time to pee out and empty your bladder completely when you go, every time. A stone will waste a lot more time in the long term, than a few seconds saved when you pee. But don't go too far and start forcing it, that can be bad for you too.

SCIENTISTS GENERALLY AGREE…
Fernapple comments on Jan 30, 2022:
There is no direct connection recognized by mainstream science, between genetically evolved traits and almost any aspect of modern religion. The genetic factors which favour religion are merely precursors, which may cause religion to happen. As you say. "There are two schools of thought. One is that religion itself evolved due to natural selection and is an adaptation, in which case religion conferred some sort of evolutionary advantage. The other is that religious beliefs and behaviors, such as the concept of a protogod, may have emerged as by-products of other adaptive traits without initially being selected for because of their own benefits." It is a serious fault to quote two schools of thought, and then choose only the first largely discredited and minority one, and treat that as if it were the mainstream, which is exactly the opposite of the truth. Genetic evolution is unable to eliminate the cost deficits of religion, simply because religion is a recently developed cultural phenomenon which has not had anything like enough time to register as a factor in natural selection. Because culture, when once the initial factors favouring its development are in place, develops far faster than genetic evolution can take place. The argument fails to see the great distance at which all modern religion exists, from early primitive religion whose existence may have overlapped ( though its of doubtful significance ) with the evolutionary time scale. Anyone who does not understand that is so far from understanding science at a most basic level, that they could hardly qualify to speak on scientific issues at all, there is a lot of bad pseudo science out there. The genetic factors which led to the development of culture, and its benefits, have nothing to do with religion specifically, and religion is not a in any way a synonym for all of human culture. Nor is it a synonym for social solidarity, though it may be one cultural factor in achieving such on some occasions, yet it is it is becoming increasingly divorced from mainstream culture, and may have long since become a divisive factor in modern times, ( last ten thousand years or so. ) having exactly the opposite effect into the future. To see religion as an evolved trait is to seriously misunderstand evolution, at a basic level. A thing not unknown even among scientist involved in the field. And certainly not the among fringe sciences, like anthropology on the edges of biology. Since evolutionary theory can be difficult and is often counter-intuitive for the human mind, and not all scientists in related fields are given a good grounding in evolutionary theory. Human culture is almost completely flexible, and can easily be reinvented in many forms to fill our evolved needs. Most of us have ...

Religion is evolution’s protection against ‘extinction-due-to-evolutionary-mismatch’, just as ...
Fernapple comments on Jan 29, 2022:
Religion is the main evolutionary mismatch which is driving us towards extinction. Religion is the main source of support for those wishing to promote criminal ideologies, including and especially anti -environmentalism, anti-science, anti-reason, misinformation, and unethical narcissism. It can never be redeemed or reformed in order to make it a useful and ethically good institution, because the forces driving it towards criminality are inevitable. It lost its role as the provider of ethics to philosophy and popular consent, its role as the source of modeling the universe to science, its role of moral leadership to the rule of law and democracy, its role of interpreter of all those things to the nation state and the international diplomatic consensus, and its role as provider of information to the media. The only thing left to it now, is its ever growing role as the main provider of justification for the criminal, and the marriage between it and criminality will grow ever deeper and more loving as time goes by. The other reason why you can never reform it is simply because, if you do get it to make useful ethical stances, then it becomes philosophy and its position is justified philosophicaly, if you get it to promote accurate modeling of the universe, then it becomes science and its position becomes scientific, when it takes up the spreading of information, it becomes the media, etc. Religion is simply the method used to justify things which can not be justified by reason, evidence, popular consent and education etc., and the only people who need that method of justification are the criminally intended.

Fernapple comments on Jan 29, 2022:
Evolution does not have intent, there is no evolutionary protection against extinction, evolution does not have foresight, and there is no evolutionary drive for the betterment or protection of the species. Those are the four of the most basic, and simple grade school tenants of modern evolutionary theory.

Fernapple comments on Jan 26, 2022:
There is little point in praising the atheist or agnostic view point here, since that would either be preaching to the converted, or patting ourselves on the back. Both of which are pretty aimless pastimes. I am for what it is worth, which is not much, an agnostic atheist, by which I mean that I don't believe in any god, but I freely admit that I can not prove that no god at all, does not exist. ( Not specific gods like the Christian one, I can disprove all of those. ) As to moving on, I think that the issues of religion , belief, non belief etc. are basically very simple and boring to all but the deluded, easily resolved and not likely to yield any more understanding than I already have. So that moving on means, forget them, and go off to study biology, or physics or basket weaving, etc. which are vast fields with much more original stuff to learn.

Fernapple comments on Jan 24, 2022:
Hell or anything much like it, hardly gets a mention in the Old Testament, or in he teachings of Jesus in the new. The idea only begins to emerge, at about the time the Christian church begins to become the successor to the Roman Empire and starts to have imperial pretensions. ( I wonder why ? ) But even by the sixth century Islamic theology had largely done with it, and substituted Purgatory as a place of healing, as a more realistic idea, so that modern Moslems find the Christian idea of heaven, hell and salvation largely laughable.

Are Social Media Bans of Scientific Misinformation Helpful ? Why/not ?
Fernapple comments on Jan 21, 2022:
It is probably almost impossible to do anyway, even defining what is and what is not misinformation is probably not possible. And even if you could entrust the social media with enforcing guidelines laid down by national institutions, acting as independent arbiters, you could still not get any agreements. For example, did China have the same view of what constituted scientific misinformation as the western countries during the early Corona Virus outbreak. But it could be that in the long term, ( Twenty five, fifty years perhaps.) it will not matter. Because society itself will probably adjust, becoming more cynical, sceptical, less relativist, much less tolerant of fringe opinion, and reverting more to belief in centralized mainstream views as objective truth. In part because people do learn by experience, though very slowly, and do sometime realize they have been fooled, if rarely, but also as the greatest forces in human life, boredom and laziness begin to bite, and people find that they just do not have time or interest in fringe ideas anymore. That will bring with it its own dangers like dogma, and unquestioning respect for civil authorities, neither of which ever did any good, but it will certainly happen.

Do you think the human race is generally good or bad?
Fernapple comments on Jan 19, 2022:
Humans may well be neutral, since the ideas good and bad are a spectrum either side of a mean, and since it is a human set average which that spectrum is centered on, it is likely that equal numbers fall on both sides. Though no doubt we would all prefer it, from a selfish point of view, if more, OTHER, people were higher up the spectrum towards the good end, but that is itself a selfish thing. It is also arguable that evolution made us averaged along a whole vast set of spectrums, which served the survival and reproduction of an ape living with limited technology on the plains of Africa. A situation very different from that which we now find ourselves in. It would however be a mistake to see our animal nature as somehow bad, because it does not fit our current mode of living, or to think that civilization must lead to improvement. A primitive ape may strike you dead with its weapon, because it thinks you look strange and frighteningly different. But only a civilized human under the control of its culture, would amass food and supplies, so that it could march hundreds of miles, to commit genocide on people it had never seen, because its culture told it, they were frightening and different, whether they were or not.

Fernapple comments on Jan 17, 2022:
Quite good. Though it does kind of confirm the idea that philosophy is just dressing up the banal in big words, since little is new, and to be honest, any twelve year old with the encouragement of a good teacher should know all of this. But therein lies the real problem. Most worthwhile philosophy is not really hard, ( Like quantum physics for example. ) the problem for the world, is that there is no will, structure or desire to teach it in a widespread way. Because, understanding sets you free and makes you strong, but states and corporations are not interested in free strong people, because they have no needs and if you have no needs, then you do not want to buy anything. No profit there. While conventional religions do not want strong free people with understanding, because they do not want to believe anything, or pay for ritual, no profit there. The only country that I know of, ( There are probably others.) which teaches philosophy at an elementary level in schools, is France. But France is an old culture which has got though its imperial stage, and had an advanced, post religion, education system, for centuries now, which may be why it is a reasonably content and happy country. Not perfect, but where is ? Until a culture gets well past the religious stage, then philosophy will get nowhere, since for that reason religion is wholly in opposition to it, philosophy being about strength and religion about dependency.
