It depends on whether it is woke or not. Cancel culture was always associated with wokeness which of course is left wing, however if we treat the act of cancelling someone on its own than yeah definitely bipartisan

See this is assuming we know religion as what it is today, but people back then had a bicameral mind meaning that religion was just auditory delusions and dreams.


Religion as a higher creative function rather than schizophrenia only begins with the Axial Age

Dr.Franklin

I did talk about how it effects individuals. Individuals place themselves into higher religious purposes.


 once heard that before religions, people were spirituals as a way to live well. It's the human nature that led people to corrupt the spiritual practices, like making hierarchies, superstitions and all kind of fuckery that religions are know for.

This is just reddit tier cope. Before organized religion, dreams and ancestor worship were the most important part of tribal life and it was absolutely superstitious, hierarchal, etc.

Dr.Franklin

It's completely different. Religion serves as the civilizational drive that actually moves people and events. Could you imagine Spain or Portugal without their Catholic goal of evangelizing the New World or Protestant rebels moving to North America?


The people who are "spiritual" dont actually feel anything, and certainly arent superstitious. It's a benefit of modern society to check out of religious purposes which they are doing.

You absolutely do not understand the full picture and what it took for the West to advance if you think descartes was not that important. Not only was he absolutely capable in the sciences (making cartesian coordinates), but his philosophy fundamentally created the worldview that Western science populated. The cognitive leaps made by Galileo, Newton, that dont have immediate real-world application is thanks to shifting a worldview to the cartesian view. Him and Kepler made the fundamental changes to move us out of the renaissance and into the modern world.

I still don't know to approach Descartes. His dualism basically ended Medieval Europe scholasticism and it's traditions and in many areas like biology hindered us, but you don't get societies that can produce Newton, Euler, and then industrialism without him separating our senses. He made us inhuman but at a cost of actually allowing us to experience a greater sensory flow in the end.

Irish people get more mad if you insult their mother than if a Catholic Priest rapes a child. They are the most, "Out of sight, out of mind" people out there.

I can definitely see that with the mother but any other family member and we wouldn't care. Look at how the brothers in my PFP acted towards each other, Noel even said he'd give up his mother before his career.


The Irish are not at all like the ethnic "in our culture we care about extended family!" trope. I'd actually say we are actually colder than anglo-saxons.

Dr.Franklin

Italians aren't that type of Catholic. They love the saints and angels but a lot of them distrust Church authority, and italian men are kinda known for being lax on attending Mass.


Us Irish on the other hand...now we like our clergy members.

Dr.Franklin

TBH I have no clue why he tried so hard to define consciousness and tie in his theory to it.


The book is way more useful from an anthropology standpoint. The simple fact is that primitive humans and "mass primitive kingdoms" like Ancient Egypt and the Aztecs really were psychologically different, and auditory hallucinations + dreams are/were a huge part of their lives.
