B/ Or consider the truths about humanity's impact on Earth, which is often negative, and leads foolish people to forget the useful belief that Nature is here to serve Humans. A belief without which we would never have built the satellites that now measure our thermodynamic guilt.

C/ And so I ask you, my small but influential audience, to keep this tension in mind as you conduct your life, build systems, analyze the world, and move our species forward. Don't just think about what is true, but what is useful - and how to align them.

D/ For example, I am becoming a happier, more compassionate person as I slowly learn to open my heart to God (h/t
@kamalravikant@johnmarkcomer@notredameparis). My life was worse when I let the truth of atheism shut out the usefulness of faith. Many others have found the same.9 replies 0 proslijeđenih tweetova 14 korisnika označava da im se sviđaPrikaži ovu nit -

The Old Testament is basically an instruction manual for how to build dynasties. It’s a valuable collection of books, but without a belief in God it would not have spread.

Landmark Forum as a modern secular religion is teaching primarily material they licensed from the preceding Erhard Seminar Trainings (EST). EST had useful content, but no viral vector, so no one ever heard about it.

It’s pretty clear that if there is value in Landmark’s teachings, it is in the training and personal transformation components, not in the part that turns adherents into aggressive MLM marketing droids.

So the question is: Is the belief in God integral part of the teachings of Judaism/Christianity, or part of the transmission scheme, or both?

Odgovor korisnicima @sovereignfamily @patrissimo i sljedećem broju korisnika:
To some degree it’s a moot question. If your followers don’t even convert their own children, your culture ends. Judaism reached its own children and thrived. But if your followers go out and convert everyone else too, you get Christianity which spread even faster.

But maybe it’s possible to take religious ancient wisdom and merge it with secular incentives for proselytizing? Judeo-Christian-Landmarkism? Is this more or less desirable?

Umm....depends on the exact system of values your promote. Good: r/NoFap meets Amway Bad: Heaven's Gate meets Crossfit

More of a thought experiment, than an intention to build a new system. I’m not yet convinced that god is a necessary part of religion.
