I think it will be a very intresting disscussion. Question? What are the apriori assumption we make about reality, and can we know anyhting for sure?
Our biological framework allows us to have narrow constraints on the amount of viable interpretations of the world that do not result in undue suffering and our demise.
Well this is evident! 🙂 what im trying to get at is within each of us what knowlage do we take for granted like the video said "space" what about moral proclimations and which specific ones
for example i think a necessary trancedental catagory is freewill
Religion anthropomorphizes the known world, not with hands and feet but with our inner moral codes and innate sense of justice—a type of projection of our inner psyche on to the fundamental nature of reality. We project our inner sense of justice by believing that we need to atone for our cosmic mishaps, with verbal apologies, on a specific holiday, or at a particular time of year. In the same way, we should apologize to humans, find the right time, and use the right words. The anthropomorphization of the universe: turning it into a God with human wants, human needs, and human proclivities, like justice, fairness, family, property, duty, and purpose.
Any ideas?
@therealdandan I don’t quite understand what you’re trying to say. And that’s probably just my fault. Are you just trying to give the reason there is religion?
Im saying the same way ancient societies created gods in their image, so do modern religions by projecting their inner psyche on the workings of the universe.
Thats what Jung thought to. That the gods came from our imagination and were projected outside to whatbwe did not understand and that when we understood the unknown, the gods went back inside of our imaginations. And when we go back into our imagination, thats the same motif as rescuing the dead father from the belly of the whale or belly of the beast.
@therealdandan by modern religion do you mean like Christianity
scientology, mormonsism, Judaism- modern day version, etc
also christianity
people dont need religion
but they wont last long without one
^an unexpected statement coming from you lol
Oh
peopel do need myths tho, like LLC's and countires
There it is
Why do you say people need myths
myths are things people couldnt explain
and overreacted
Demonstrate that they won't last long without one.
miss miller always with the on point responces
I cant demonstrate
True
So why should we believe you?
its not about that
youll see it
the reason i think people need myths is less on an indevidual level but ona sociotal level
America is really the only one nation not based around religion and he could argue that it hasn’t been long enough to tell
How will we see it?
yuval noah harrari speaks tons on thej subject
you'll live to see it
But I think society’s built around religion haven’t lasted very long
Look at the Greeks
See what?
West colapsing
Because of atheism
Can you demonstrate that if that happens, it's because of lack of religion?
