      You're probably not referring to ppl not raised with god-beliefs who've never seen any reason to adopt one?

      James Lindsay's Life in Light of Death looks at transcendence narratives & instinct to deny that we're mammals

      Humans. Warm-blooded vertebrates that have live young & produce milk.

          Explain HOW there is an “instinct” to deny “we are warm-blooded, vertebrates that produce live young."

          First give citations. WHO, specifically, denies (1) humans are warm blooded (2) have spines (3) give live birth ?

          I’ll be pretty amazed if you find someone who denies ANY of those 3 propositions, much less ALL 3.

          And unless the tendency to deny ALL 3 is extremely widespread, it would be absurd to call it “an instinct."

          @iwpoe “An instinct to deny we are mammals” seems PATENTLY ABSURD as a claim about human beings.

          Talks abt tendency to deny 'animal' nature - carnality - & see ourselves as spirits - higher nature.

          He makes no claims about other mammals' spirituality. Just about human distaste for seeing selves as mammals.

          But you are a mammal & historically we have denied this so I find it interesting & valuable to finally be exploring it.

          The great chain of being with man situated between the angels & the beasts is our most culturally familiar narrative.

          And I find it very interesting how others mirror this. We're 'more' than animals & this 'moreness' is spiritual.
