I’m not LDS, but I’m super impressed with how Mormons manage a modern, useful, yet deeply visceral Becoming Adult ritual-process. I’m sure mileage varies, but it’s one of those things I have mentally bookmarked under “how to human better(?)”https://twitter.com/Austen/status/1058056317636497408 …
I think the first step is admitting that secular culture is (largely) really, really bad at raising *adults*, and probably getting worse
I suspect there’s actually a lot of room for play w/o theocracy. You see similar duty/achievement patterns in e.g. military families/cultures. I’m not sure what the healthiest version of this is, but I kinda want to make an even better one
I have literally seen better done in Japanese pre-schools than in the mainline experience of American adults. ("Welcome to the school new 3 year olds. 4 year olds: meet the 3 year olds. From today forth they are your responsibility.")
That is wonderful, I am *delighted* by that
The worst coming-of-age ritual in secular culture is the 21st birthday/legal drinking age birthday and I hate that one. Like alcoholism is bad and that type of rite of passage makes it worse.
Yep! Mistakes are inevitable, but there’s no good reason to glorify them. Ritual celebration of bad decisions is IMO a consequence of poorly-scheduled freedoms; rebellion is only growth if you’re unreasonably constrained
are you seriously trying to tell me buzzfeed quizzes on your hogwarts house aren’t good enough
And I thought I could not love you more, Mike
For a long time I was thinking that I could really go for a kind of Christianity that understands itself as a human product. "Here is an intergenerational meditation on the human condition of our culture. Let's have a go at it."
With the important benefit that a congregation of likeminded people would really help with the whole "raising children to be adults" stuff.
It can’t help that day to day life keeps requiring less and less actual human interaction with people outside our social and socio-economic circles
