Socialism, Nazism
the world has gotten extremely small extremely fast. We've done more development wise in 100 years then all of human history combined and multiplied
"development"
that word is like "progress", means different things to different people
sounds you're feeling another dark ages is upon us?
who was that islamic leader who decreed that math is the work of the devil
i think it's been here for quite some time now, and i feel like this is the first one 😬
that ended the islamic golden age of science
Lots of that PROGRESS tho came from war :]
and changed their direction to what it is today
idk if better technology would've made middle east's direction different
probably not
like they're pretty rich rn in many parts
oil though, and later on trade centers
the place is slowly Westernizing tho in current year
That's why i love traveling to asian countries, lol. Very easy in terms of religion and shit, pure old culture
if the middle east hadnt gone conservative religious in 1100... it would definitely be a super power today
it's all empty tho, just like the West
people don't really understand religion, even those that say they follow it
and if the UK didnt have a conservative religious history in the dark ages it would also be much more powerful
@AdorableStormtrooper that's my only criticism of Jordan Petersons work, if i may call it that. His discourse about religion is on another lvl, its not for your average Joe to understand
yeah his lectures are very difficult, but then Scripture itself isn't that easy to interpret, in comparison Peterson is like a guide book
at least he's not full conservative religious...
doesnt want evolution out of schools etc
Yeah, but how many of his ideas are really there and how many are just his interpretation
he believes in evolution
exactly
that's the nature of commentary on Scripture, it's all someone's interpretation
it's like that for any big set of literature
tbh it would be weird of someone in his profession not to
most conservative religous types are pro evolution now anyway
I would consider myself christian
to them that is the how and not the why
and believe in evolution
its not really something you can be "pro" .. you either understand it or dont 😛
Peterson is interesting in the sense that his advocacy for religious thinking is based on Evolution, he is a Darwinist in that sense
that idea has been really catching on, I've seen Bret Weinstein talk in those terms with Dawkins
i really think that as a humanity we need to go past religion, i feel like we at that point already, when bad shit starts to prevail over benefits
hahaha
