Darwinists Christian response:" There is a moment you will rot and decay, when you die, you will go nothing, even my flesh is weak, it carry something that no Illusion can recreate, that is my soul.
You are nothing but an stupid piece of illusion that stuck in a piece of scraps."

Heliocentrism is the biggest religion. Scientifically, earth is flat and motionless. Check out "200 Proofs Earth is Not a Spinning Ball" by Eric Dubay.
So funny you point out tech as a religion. I graduated last year and got a job at a big tech company. Immediately was shocked by how much like religion it is. There are meetings referred to as “ceremonies” there are ideals everyone upholds and terms like “source of truth” I have never mentioned it to my coworkers in fear of being ostracized. There is literally a whole rule of ethics within tech companies, that I see no where else. It’s what techies call “culture” and “work life balance” those things sound nice but after starting at a tech firm and learning more about it is much deeper. Truly the “tech ethics” if you will
Could you elaborate on the specifics? I do a related research about corporate speech based on the testament. I wonder what both rituals have in common.
When the socially awkward find a place in society other than video games and chat rooms..that culture will die off because techies won't breed like normal humans..a dying breed.

@@JohnSmith-gc7dp Imo, 3D Printing is only impressive insofar as a clever means to pre-empt the Corpo-State's efforts to further infringe on our Rights. I think the larger-scale it gets, the more it's going to defeat its own purpose.
One thing you didn’t consider is international competition. Technologists in America will always be in power for as long as technologists in China are in power for fear of falling behind, and technologists will always be in power in China for as long as they are motivated to catch up to America.
Also, I can see Techno-Confucianism becoming the dominant ideology of East Asia, since Confucianism has a long history of putting intellectuals and scholars in power, and it provides a secular moral framework without needing divinity, and over a 2000 year period it has proven to be just as robust as Christianity
China has no capability to catch up. They are largely doomed as a cohesive nation for a wide variety of reasons. China has spend most of its history ripping itself apart and the future is no exception. Demographics alone doom it.

I miss a mention to Islam. Maybe in the USA isn't an issue due to the low number of Islamists, but in Europe we can foresee how strong a movement is when they put their religion above all. In Spain, as an example, if you ask catholics if they are catholic or Spanish, they tend massively to answer that they are Spanish. But every Muslim will answer that their religion is much more important than their nationality. In case of conflict they always side with their religion.
Its the same in India. Besides, Europe will Europeanize Islam before Islam Islamicizes Europe.
Muslims make up 1% of the United States. While it’s an issue here as well, it’s a much smaller issue than these other religions threatening Christianity. The greatest threat to Christianity in America is Marxism, and within the right Darwinism.

I work in tech, sometimes at a reasonably high level, and I really enjoyed your stories of talking with tech people -- that they don't know any history, and continually prefer to contemplate (worship?) the next new thing. It perplexes me. I end up concluding that intellect can get caught in useless cycles, and a bit less intellect vis-a-vis reflection increases the chance of finding actual wisdom, which makes life better, in whatever era.
Question: Isn't a combination of darwinism and belief in God (roughly, the Christian God) yoga? In Sanatana Dharma, evolution occurs not only in the physical world but the spiritual world too, over vast spans. With the yoga sutras (Patanjali) providing the blueprint to increase access to this system consciously.

@@Kubinda12345 I wouldn't think so. IMHO, the major faults of every ideology (not just technology) is they (from the perspective of human), are asking the wrong question of "(5w1h) is God".
The correct question of any human should be "(5w1h) human to be accepted by God".
(5w1h) = What, When, Where, Who, Why and How.
The correct question can only be found in Faith, on which implemented in the form of Religion.

@@mastersafari5349 That may be true but you are assuming that gene editing works the same for humans which isn't true. I'm from a farming background and the environment that farmers breed animals in is fundamentally different to the human world. A field is a controlled environment where the farmer can intervene when things go wrong. Yes we can massively alter livestock but never without consequences. Most livestock like pigs and Turkeys are actually totally dependent on human intervention for reproduction since we have breed them to the point of infertility. Many animals like ducks and chickens have started to loose their maternal instincts or have no clue what to do with their young due to inbreeding. The reason it works with animals is because the end result is simple. A stake on a plate is far easier to produce than the functional member of society eating said stake. Any negative side effects of our engineering on animals is mitigated by the people caring for said animals like the problems of hearing loss in Dalmatians or hip problems in German shepherds. Human beings do not live in a controlled environment and we will have to self regulate any issues caused by our experiments on our own genetics. We can't control our own behaviour very well as it is. Just think of the social chaos gene editing will add. There is no higher alien being to intervene on our behalf unless you count god/nature which would likely not have the same goals in mind as us.

indeed and just like the germanic invaders, the majority are peaceful when they cross the border, only a fraction go strait to abusing this to commit violence. but even the peaceful ones cause social upheaval.
Most people you see and think are immigrants they are second ,third, or fourth generation
They are not doing it intentionally; they're just looking for a better life. The actual cause of these waves of immigration is progressives openly welcoming foreigners into their countries in their quest for social suicide. So the real invaders are the progressives... who are invading themselves.

I think Christianity has the biggest advantage in the race and I say this as someone who doesn't go to church or read the Bible. I believe that people have stopped being religious because religion has the function of providing relief in times of need such as wars, diseases or famines. Without desperate situations, no one thinks that God is necessary who needs hope when you are not afraid of dying in a war or from hunger.
Even so, I have seen that young people have shown that Christianity is alive in some way, perhaps not in the most literal sense, but in values such as defending your values or following people who do what is right, like the tiktoks of the movie The Kingdom of heavens where they made many edits of King Baldwin 4
In addition to this, in Muslim countries a fairly large part of young people is ceasing to believe in Islam and are becoming Christians like in Iran or Afghanistan and I think this could be one of the strangest situations of the 21st century that Islam disappears for its repression and be replaced by Christianity in Muslim countries. This is not to mention the demographic boom in sub-Saharan Africa where all these countries are Christian and could account for up to 40% of the world's population by the end of the century.
For these reasons I believe Christianity has a chance to remain relevant.
Interesting take.. it wouldn’t be the worst thing to happen that’s for sure.
Out of curiosity.. what region are you from? And what is your background (ethnicity)?
I think theres gonna to be another great skichsm or ideological shift in christianity. Akin to the prostant reformation. Where in our understanding of the bible and God fundamentally changes.
Though I doubt this will spread further then Africa. Since the east is more likely to go some mix of techie or dawrinistic verisions of confusion/hindu/budhism/ etc.
For other abhrahamic faiths, islams biggest issue is I dont know how adaptable it will be going forward. It has the ability to supplant alot of european nations in ideology but it would fundamentally be a new ideology something akin to what happen during the sunni/shia split.
And for judaism it will either die or stay a minor religion.
Also don’t forget the long-term macro effects of the actual values of Christianity. They’ve proven to make societies strong and resilient. Christian nations historically produced the very pinnacle of human achievement and development.
I agree, but if Christianity is to survive it won’t be Pentecostalism or non denominational ext. I’ve being seeing many convert to Catholicism because it’s a church that has stood for ages, and has survived civilizations wars like the Muslim invasions of Europe responding with crusades
This is cope is it not? Even if there are converts in the Muslim sphere in America Christianity is experiencing an incredible decline year over year?

Regarding Christianity, you need to remember that it is inherently a countercultural religion that thrives underground. The period of Christianity's most rapid growth was when its disciples were hiding in the catacombs of Rome, literally running for their lives from the Roman state, which intended to literally feed them to lions. It was under these circumstances - when there was a new martyr heroically meeting his or her fate every month - that Christianity was most persuasive to people, and that should really give us a hint as to its innate spiritual character. Its religious texts were written by oppressed and persecuted people, and the whole Christian narrative is about a small minority of people chosen by God doing their best to follow God and to resist "the world," i.e. the non-Christian cultures which are ruled by the lord of this world, Satan. It is inherently an underdog religion. Consequently, Christianity resonates most strongly among oppressed and persecuted people. The internal logic of Christianity (and Judaism, of course) makes the most sense when Christians are a persecuted sect trying to survive in a hostile, idolatrous, demonic world. That's why it so quickly swept over the Roman Empire and ultimately conquered it. That's why it rapidly replaced the native religions of the African slaves in the Americas, who became some of the most devout Christians in the world.
It is and has always been the poor man's religion, and it needs a struggle to survive. It continued to hold great sway in medieval Europe, because even though Christianity came to dominate European society, it still made sense in a world where 1) the poorest people were the most godly and virtuous, and the richest and most powerful people - both the secular authorities, kings, nobles, etc. as well as the most powerful clergy - paid lip service to Christianity but were actually the worst sinners, creating a constant struggle between true believers and charlatans; and 2) medieval European society was under constant threat from powerful outside forces, particularly Muslims but also the Huns, Avars, and Mongols.
Consider when Christianity began to decline in the west. Partially this was caused by the protestant reformation, which fractured western Christianity and brought about 30% of it under the direct control of secular authority, particularly the princes of the German states. This was a huge disaster in Christendom and Christianity has still not recovered from it, and it was basically caused by politicians and philosophers. But still, if we consider protestant sects as part of Christianity, and consider Christianity an umbrella term for all the rival Christian churches, it didn't actually start to decline until the colonial period, when European powers began to pull ahead of the Ottoman Empire. Christianity lost power in Europe when Europe became dominant in the world. And in particular, when European people ceased to feel threatened. The Ottoman Empire became sclerotic and toothless during the same time the European monarchies began to dominate Africa and the New World. Without any terrifying existential threat, with political & cultural dominance in the world, with newfound social mobility and a skyrocketing standard of living, Europeans suddenly related more to Augustus Caesar than to Saint Paul. Because they had, in fact, more in common with an ancient Roman than with an ancient Christian.
During this time, Europeans started to idolize the classical Roman Republic and Empire, when previously they had vilified it. In the Romantic Period, pre-Christian cultural artifacts suddenly gained cultural ascendancy, and Christianity was vilified for destroying and suppressing them. Not just Greco-Roman culture, but also the Vikings, the Celts, and others. This ultimately culminated in the ideologies of fascism, which turned on Christianity, the religion of martyrdom and meekness, and instead intensely identified with the most vigorous, virile cultures of history, particularly the Romans. So, Christianity loses power when people can no longer relate to the victims of persecution. Conversely, it _gains_ power among the victims of persecution.
The reason Christianity has remained _numerically_ dominant for so long in America is because Christians have always been underdogs in America. For the first 100 years of the nation's history, _all_ Americans were underdogs, intrepid pioneers struggling to survive in the untamed wilderness, or else impoverished street urchins choking on fumes in the factories of New York. Then a shift came, and the progressive movement began to take over America's elite institutions, and scrub them of any Christian influence. Since then, American institutions have been ostensibly secular (I say _ostensibly_ because they did adhere to American civic religion, and now to wokeism), depriving Christians of the kind of political power that in Europe caused a Christian malaise and resulted in disillusionment due to lack of identification with Christian martyrs, who have always been the source of its emotional potency. Since the 19th century, America has had a highly polarized society, split _culturally_ between elitist left and populist right. Conservative Christians in America still feel like underdogs, so the message of Christianity still rings true to them. They still feel like they're "behind enemy lines," like they're "in the world but not of the world," like they're struggling to survive in a demonic, chaotic, degenerate culture that is out to get them. And, while that may have been a bit melodramatic in the 1980s, it is certainly true now, when satanic monuments are installed in American city halls, and evil, anti-Christian, anti-white, anti-normal degeneracy is universally taught in public schools, along with sex ed lessons that explicitly repudiate Christian teachings.
So you're right that Christianity is in decline in the west, but it's not just an organic decline. Christianity began to decline because people who are on top of the world tend to relate more to romantic religions of vigor and dominance than they relate to religions of martyrdom and ultimate justice like Christianity. That even explains the rise of Darwinism, which as you noted is an ideology of vigor and dominance. So, Christianity began to decline in regions of the world where people held extraordinary status and enjoyed a very high standard of living. But it has continued growing in all other regions of the world. You said Christianity is in decline across the world, but this is not at all true. Christianity has never stopped growing. The per capita share of Christians globally has continued to rise every year, continuously, since we started collecting data on this. And of course the total population of Christians has grown commensurately with per capita share and with population growth. That's because, while Christianity is in decline in the west, it's ascendant almost everywhere else. We can expect it to grow in the Middle East as well, where Islam is in decline because it is a demonstrably false religion, and people are increasingly exposed to debunkings of it due to the adoption of social media, especially TikTok recently.
As for the west, it's true that this decline initially began because people simply ceased to believe in Christianity. And as I've said, they ceased to believe because it's hard to relate to a religion of meekness when you are quite literally on top of the world. And many people replaced it with scientism or with American civic religion (and its evolved form, wokeism), which are more appealing to smug elitists than a religion of meekness like Christianity. So in some sense that decline was organic. But now that the decline has taken place, especially among the upper classes and institutions, it is no longer organic. Christianity hasn't declined uniformly across western society. It has declined almost exclusively among the people who could least relate to it: the people who, as I've said, are "on top of the world." The upper classes. The aristocracy. The intellectual elite. The proportion of Christians among university professors is comically small. Among millionaires as well.
And all institutions, including many ostensibly Christian institutions, are now effectively anti-Christian. Only the Catholic Church has resisted this trend, probably mostly due to its global character. Meanwhile, poor people are nearly as Christian as they've ever been. The share of Christians among poor people has only declined due to immigration resulting in an increased share for other religions. So, the status of Christianity in the west is lopsided. Christians are now once again a persecuted faction. While not numerically a minority in some states (like the US), Christians still have far less power than certain non-Christian factions. And those non-Christian factions are extremely hostile to Christianity. While Christianity may have been organically in decline in the late 20th century, Christianity is now under _attack_ in the west. And Christianity, as a subversive religion of the downtrodden, thrives under attack.
In a way, this prevents Christianity from dying. It does mean it will be difficult for Christianity to ever spread the gospel to 100% of the world, as it wants to do, because the closer it comes to that goal, the further it strays from its subversive roots, the less it can relate to its martyrs and apostles, who are the source of its historical authority. But the obverse of that is: the weaker Christianity grows, the more it returns to its roots, the closer its adherents feel to the great apostles of the first century and the saints and martyrs who gave their lives to bear witness to the Christ, the more persuasive its message becomes. In a way, this promises that Christianity will always fluctuate in influence and power... at least until the end of the world 😉
Well written.
A long read but thorough and accurate. Well said!
Extremely well written, I had never thought of it that way.
The catholic church has absolutely not escaped this trend. The current pope is one of its strongest vanguards.
This is excellently written. Christianity is always a religion of *contrast*. It is supposed to contrast with the culture around it. When it doesn't is when it runs into problems. The point of Christianity should never be to become so culturally dominant it *can't* contrast with the culture around it. When that is the goal (cultural dominance), Christianity looses what makes it Christianity. The goal of Christianity should be for the people who believe in it to become the best Christians they can be. Its goal cannot be to spread by changing its message. That is what lead to it's current decline in the first place.
And the thing is, you see Christianity growing in places in the US it *can* contrast with. I am in Southern California. The biggest period of growth in our church was during Covid when we weren't supposed to even meet because we *didn't* shut down. Not only did people from our own church come, but so did a bunch of other people from churches that *did* shut down because they *needed* to go to church to be with other Christians. A lot of non-Christians who didn't take religion seriously at all came because it was so novel that we didn't shut down and they wanted to know why we didn't. Other non-Christians who came were people who saw what was going on with Covid and were looking for any type of explanation for why the world had gone so haywire on them out of seemingly nowhere and we were... actually open and willing to talk about it. And didn't think they were crazy for noticing that what was going on in the world was *really messed up*. And after the several *years* of Covid mandates in So-Cal... not all the people who came to our church in Covid left. Many of them stayed... This follows an extremely common pattern. Christianity spreads when it is threatened. You see this in places like China where the Chinese Christians are fine with more persecution from their government because they know that spreads Christanity *faster* than when they don't have as much persecution.
Part of the appeal of Christianity is that it is not focused on the current life, but the next. Making society/culture in this life better is very much *not* the point of it (although it happens semi-often when enough people follow Christian ideas about morality). Winning in this life for Christians is... actually a sign that they are becoming too much like the culture around them rather than contrasting with it. The problem Christians constantly face is mixing up their actual goal with their knock-on effects on the culture around them. Or when cultures look at Christianity's knock-on effects and want that, but not the actual goal of Christianity. Mixing those two up helps no one.
Or as it gets said... "The wisdom of God is foolishness to man". Society thinking Christians are fools because they believe in things like the soul, which a mechanically-minded culture has issues believing in... good. That means Christians are doing their religion correctly and shouldn't try to change that up to appeal to more people. They should hold the line and continue to be thought of as fools. That is what is *supposed* to happen. No one becomes a Christian because it helps them get what they want through their own efforts. They become a Christian because they were brought to a point where they couldn't get want they want through their own efforts and finally surrendered to a being stronger than they are. A Christian's greatest strength (God) is found when the Christian themselves admits to being weak. But it is not *their* strength that is found. And that message is *extremely* unpopular with people who think they already are strong enough by themselves. So Christians and Darwinists are as at odds as Christians and Marxists are.

Gryffindor, Slytherin, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw
Gryffindor: Christianity.
The oldest and most foundational of the four and the one that has the strongest ideals. However said ideals are too abstract for many to get behind and it suffers from being seen as boring.
Ravenclaw: The Technocracy.
Believes that they have far more intelligence than anyone else and that this puts them above human nature thus disconnecting them from anyone else as well as making them blind to their own vices.
Hufflepuff: The Woke.
Ostensibly nice but do not actually have anything to show for it and with this as their only value allow all manner of evil to be permissible by “accepting everyone.
Slytherin: The Darwinists.
Always obsessed with ambition and power no matter the cost. It masks this under the guise of progress or evolution but is really just naked ambition. However this will often attract the strongest in society thus making it a powerful.
@thedukeofchutney468 Wow, you took this way further and better than I ever did. Those are some fascinating parallels.
Bravo, friend!
@@ShrednecktheRedneck Thank you! Sleep depravity can do wonders! 😂
@@thedukeofchutney468 Those are pretty accurate actually...
@@thedukeofchutney468 Christianity is hard to pin down. It's been adapted to fit many different cultures throughout history. It's been the religion of warriors (Gryffindor), monks (Ravenclaw), dynasties (Slytherin), and peasants (Hufflepuff).
Technocracy is a mix of Ravenclaw and Slytherin. They are intelligent, which as you said, makes them arrogant, but this also goes hand in hand with power and ambition. It's an uncomfortable fact that intelligence, like money or social status, is a tool that's used to acquire greater power. In a society obsessed with science and academia, we're fed this narrative that being more intelligent makes you a better person but that just isn't true. When scientists and academics speak, I can't help but notice the aura of pride and hubris surrounding them.
Hufflepuff is an often misunderstood house. No, Hufflepuff is not weak. Hufflepuffs value hard work, patience, fairness, and loyalty, things that many who think of themselves as "woke" do not value. As a leftist, I see two camps within the modern left. The first are the true believers and the second are the opportunists. Many leftists that I've met have turned out to be technocrats, hedonists, or nihilists in disguise. The leftist ideology is just a smokescreen for their decadent worldview. Hedonists and nihilists cannot be placed in any of the four houses, because they have no core values outside of pleasure or meaninglessness.
Finally, the Darwinists are very ambitious and power hungry, but many of them also have a warrior spirit similar to Gryffindors. However, they use that warrior spirit in all the wrong ways.
I get that you were trying to do the closest match but I just wanted to point out the nuances and complexities.
Here's a different way to think about it: all three pseudo-religions are based in fragments of truth which were contained within Christianity but turned toxic after being allowed to atrophy.
Re: Darwinism, the Christian natural law tradition has long proposed that existence is good, and therefore it is good to behave in ways that promote human and societal survival. Furthermore, while it reframed glory in a less zero-sum way than classical cultures did, it still promoted the idea that human beings should live like athletes pursuing greatness.
Unfortunately, nature and grace became divorced in the Protestant Reformation, rendering the good of the body religiously indifferent and leaving the physical realm devoid of the sorts of human values necessary to ward off Darwinism’s proposition that the only values relevant to our survival are those we share with the reptiles.
Darwinism’s problem is, of course, that humans aren't reptiles. If, as Jordan Peterson explains, even chimps rarely succeed as leaders based on brute strength, it stands to reason that human success in natural competition likely has a lot more to do with cooperation and self-sacrifice than brute strength. And, if that's the case, the Christian natural law tradition is better evolved for the world we actually inhabit than the selfish, zero-sum world envisioned by Social Darwinists.
(One interesting bit of evidence for this proposition is the wild success of casualty-minimizing precision warfare, which was pursued on purely moral grounds before it became practically viable but ended up proving far more effective than traditional brute force methods once the tech caught up. It's not at all obvious that concern for innocent human life should be beneficial in war-making, so it's quite telling when experience indicates that it is.)
The Petersonian fusion, then, would defang Darwinism without forcing Christianity too far afield from its High Middle Ages pragmatism. I'd argue that the biggest difference would be one of language rather than substance.
Re: the technologists, Elon Musk is in an interesting position insofar as he's noticed the technolatry of his fellow technologists and set himself firmly against it. Believing that technology will bring about massive social change isn't necessarily the same as seeing it as a secular Rapture - in fact, believing it to be capable of such things is a prerequisite to blunting its capacity for harm. And such beliefs aren't even incompatible with the belief that tech can also be used for great good.
I suspect that techno-sheepdogs are just as necessary to guard against techno-wolves as armed sheepdogs are to guard against armed wolves. As such, differentiating between the two is very important.
With that said, I also suspect that the techno-wolves will saw off the branch they're sitting on as quickly and thoroughly as the Marxists, given that their vision is no less anti-natalist and anti-rational. Only by maintaining a reasonable population and faith in a rational and comprehensible world (part of the West’s Christian birthright!) can technology continue to progress. Otherwise, science devolves into magic and stagnates.
Re: the Marxists, everything good in their worldview - like their inclination to support the underdog - was stolen from Christianity; everything terrible about it it's an anti-Christian accretion. I suspect that the only elements of the Marxist worldview that will survive in the long run is the parts that pre-existed it, because everything new is counterproductive.
Good solid reply
Excellent and spot on!
Marxism persists because it is a political instantiation of ordinary human vices. These elements will persist in different forms indefinitely

I'm not really sure "Tech" is a separate faction of its own. I work at a major tech company that is reasonably innovative, and nearly everyone I work with is a leftist. I don't have numbers on this, except the data that went around a year or so ago about political donations among Twitter employees. But my personal experience makes me guesstimate it's like 50% radical leftists, 30% lefists, 10% just autistic people, and 10% closet conservatives. I have to pretend to be a leftist myself, since being outed as a reactionary Christian medievalist would not be good for my career prospects. I know a handful of people who I think are closet rightoids, who've let the mask slip in private conversation with me. I guess they have a "right-dar" which makes them think I'm also some flavor of right-wing, which seems reasonable to me since leftists and rightists _do_ look physically different in my opinion. Obviously the most extreme leftists intentionally signal their allegiance by dyeing their hair with strange colors and wearing generally ugly and degenerate clothing, not to mention the flags they put in their bio on slack, and pronouns, and so on.
But I think you can even distinguish rightists from more moderate leftists, just by looking at their phenotype and social behavior. I think these political dispositions are largely genetic. Either that, or leftists are possessed or otherwise influenced by demons, which cause stunted development as well as a desire to politically organize around destroying civilization. I could go either way on that question, I come from a scientific background but converted to Catholicism, so I kinda hold 2 worldviews simultaneously. One is a more materialistic worldview, the other conceives of everything in terms of prophecy and eschatology, assuming a more "hands-on" approach from God. Basically, I hedge my bets ideologically. But I've found these two points of view are often interchangeable, especially when it comes to leftists. It doesn't really matter whether leftism is a symptom of demonic possession, or an ecological niche that developed during the last ice age wherein individuals with low genetic quality developed high verbal ability to better organize and persuade the group to take care of them despite their lack of productivity. Either way, it's a kind of global trait of a person, making physiognomy a reliable heuristic for identifying leftists.
And if that's true, then you can identify rightists by the absence of indicators of leftism. The most radical leftists do seem to instinctively suspect me, even though I give no outward sign of my political or religious beliefs. The more moderate ones actually tend to like me, but my charisma seems to have little effect on the more dysgenic among them. I guess charisma is actually a chudly trait, along with physical fitness and attractiveness, so they just see me as their natural archetypal enemy, the way a deer sees a mountain lion as its natural predator. And these defective weirdos constitute a pretty large proportion of the field, maybe even 40% of the employees at my company. The number of greasy-haired men cosplaying as women at my company would shock you. A lot of them are actually reasonably competent at their jobs. They're incapable of going outside or shaking your hand, but they can develop & maintain complex software. I would say there really aren't too many "neutral" individuals who give me the impression that they have no opinion on these matters.
I'm also skeptical that there can really be 3 rival factions in the United States, which has been effectively a 2-party state for its entire history, even before and during the Revolutionary War. I think a Tech faction would just be split between the right and the left. Tech companies will be conscripted by the left, as they already have been to a large extent (see the twitter files, internet censorship, etc.). Meanwhile, rightoids will fund more limber tech startups, which the left will use the government to suppress. Rightoids will also try to infiltrate and sabotage leftist tech companies as the war heats up. They may pull an Elon Musk and drop take private offers on sclerotic tech companies that are nearing bankruptcy due to administrative bloat, excessive gatekeeping, and the weight of hundreds or thousands of DEI employees that middle managers can't fire without losing their own jobs.
I don't see how the tech "faction" will be able to stay out of this conflict, nor what incentive it would have to establish itself as an independent faction. What ideology defines it? What do techies universally agree about that the right or the left disagrees with? As a techie myself, I don't really think there's anything. True, a lot of techies are autists who would just like to be left alone to build stuff in peace. But that makes them apolitical, it doesn't make them a political faction. Also, they can't actually be left alone to build stuff in peace. That works during the very early phases of a startup, when a tech company is most productive, when it's just building stuff nonstop with no obstacles and no one asking about the risks. But as soon as they've shipped a viable product and are actually seeing profits, the investors who funded this development now want to put guardrails in place. In the early stages, you want rapid prototyping, you want to remove all obstacles to development, so that engineers can quickly show progress to investors and reach market before someone else does. But now that there's a viable stream of revenue, the concerns completely shift, from unbounded creativity to risk aversion, because that revenue stream needs to be protected. If rapid prototyping continues, it's possible the revenue stream will be screwed up by someone making a risky decision and alienating customers or doing something illegal or whatever.
So basically, the trajectory of every tech company is to accumulate more and more guardrails and gatekeepers, longer and longer product checklists that need to be filled out before launch, less and less experimentation. This continues unabated unless a subversive leader comes in and fires all the gatekeepers (see Elon Musk, Larry Page, etc.), which delays this sclerotic entropy for a while, or until the company becomes so sclerotic it can't ship good products (see Google as of now) and begins to be outcompeted by newer, more creative startups in the creative phase. This is just the tech industry cycle. These sclerotic companies can only sustain themselves by gatekeeping their market - essentially, using the government to prevent startups from getting into the business and competing with them, by making it prohibitively expensive or by literally prohibiting it. They can also use lawfare to protect their monopoly. Eventually, these companies will die. But the result is that most companies spend most of their time in the sclerotic, "gatekeeping" phase. Most software engineers and other "tech people" work at sclerotic companies, which are defined by their adherence to mainstream politics.
The political environment is such that it's in your interests as a "tech person" to conform to elitist progressivism, or at least to be seen as such. And if you're one of the few people who's remarkably productive and nonconformist, you'll want to leave and found your own startup with some other like-minded people, which happens all the time. But those startups only remain free from politics for a year or two. Basically, until they hit the market and the investors take over.
So how is this an independent faction? Leftists basically control this whole industry. Rightists are the insurgents in this space, and it's true they can subvert it to some extent. But for the most part we just have to give this one to the left, and accept that it's a powerful force in controlling politics in a stable society, but it can do little to impede a rightist military victory. Nor can it impede a civilizational "reset," which is historically the kind of thing that's generally inflicted by reactionary, religious, traditionalist forces against a decadent empire, to establish a new polity. If that's where history is headed, I think the tech industry can do little to stop it, and will simply be abolished and nationalized in virtually all nations.
Which nation will leave the tech industry to its own devices? Liberal capitalism has outlived its usefulness to the right, and the left has been railing against it for centuries. There isn't some meaningfully powerful third faction that feels strongly about capitalism. The only people who really believe strongly in capitalism are a tiny number of disproportionately wealthy people. True that, in peacetime, these people exert outsize influence on the political process. But that's solely because of democracy. In wartime, money is only useful insofar as you have troops to hire, clothe, and feed. If nobody is willing to fight for you, that money can only help you escape, it doesn't actually make you a belligerent. So people like Peter Thiel (as much as I like the man) are not going to be fighting for the future, they're going to be hiding out in bunkers. The future is controlled by populists, those who can offer young men what they want.

It's really interesting seeing the difference between tech in India and the US. I work at a major tech company in India, and majority of the techies here are right wing. Ig it is just how the selection process works. To get into tech, you must go through a gruelling exam and course, and prove that you are in the top 0.1% of the crowd. It breeds a sense of competition, where you get into tech because you beat the million other people who applied with you

The coexistence of Buddhism, Confucianism, and Taoism in China arises from their addressing different aspects of life and spirituality. Confucianism and Taoism emerged around the same period, with Confucianism focusing on social order and ethical behavior, while Taoism offered a mystical perspective on the cosmos and a way of living in harmony with nature. Laozi's teachings provided a metaphysical counterpoint to Confucianism's emphasis on societal rules.Buddhism, which came to China from India, found a receptive audience due to its metaphysical similarities with Taoism and its ethical and communal practices that resonated with Confucian ideals. In Buddhism, there is no concept of a creator God, only the Buddha-nature, just as Taoism speaks of the Tao rather than a deity.This integration is distinct from the exclusivity seen in the Abrahamic religions, whose doctrines often conflict, making simultaneous practice difficult. Likewise, while combining Vaishnavism and Advaita Vedanta in Hinduism requires a nuanced understanding, many people can simultaneously follow the principles of Buddhism, Confucianism, and Taoism, finding that their teachings complement and enrich each other.
I respect that division, that in a sense allows coexistence. I've come to my own belief inspired by those principles, as well as my Christian heritage.
If you truly want to be a follower of any of these religions, then you would find them utterly incompatible, like for an example, tian or heaven (also just called shangdi or god) is central to Confucianism and is also mentioned in Taoism (although in a different way and less prominent) but such as you said isn’t present in Buddhism. It’s just the ineducated ignorant masses that didn’t actually understand the theology that didn’t find a problem combining them. Scholars/monks/priest of these religions often jockeyed over power and even tried to have the emperor exterminate the other beliefs which most of the time didn’t actually do anything, although a late tang dynasty emperor did try to wipe out Buddhism and was mostly successful. Later versions of Buddhism that popped out after the oppression were very different to the previously practiced version and contradicted the buddhas teaching in a lot of points

@@alvinlin8140 Thank you for your wisdom and insight! It's fascinating how religions grow to be new based upon the environment they are thrown into. Taoism seems like a nice, tight, and succinct religion from the outside but actual practitioners have a triune God system where Laotzi is deified as Lord Lao. Buddhism seems like a simple no God, no self religion from the outside. But that's basically only Zen and terravata Buddhism. The rest turn the Buddha into a God (like the maitriyana, or Chinese, Buddhism). What's interesting too, is that it happens with Christanity as well. Christianity to a Mexican is dominant in veneration of Guadalupe (or Mary) which, by my estimation based on my readings, has to do with the folk religions of Mexico focusing historically on the Mother Goddess.

I think there's 4 big reasons Darwinism isn't as popular as you might think it should be:
1) It might be because it's completely naturalistic -- that is, it's based on cause and effect. While that's essential in order to understand the parts of the world that are based on cause and effect, it's utterly useless for the rest of life. And it's utterly useless when it comes to theories of soul or spirit. Say what you will about that, but it seems natural for most ppl to view themselves as souls trapped within a body, and Darwinism ignores that because it doesn't have a framework for the soul to even exist other than as an illusion.
2) You describe it as nihilistic, which is cancerous to the human psyche. It's natural to seek meaning in things because meaning is found in literally everything associated with consciousness, whether logical or not. You also mention that darwinism combats this with glory, but that just sounds like an intellectual rationale for pursuing primitive behaviours.
3) If changing your genes changes your behaviours, then that begs the question what defines being vs. non-being, or living vs. non-living. Regardless of the answer, genes are a type of formatted data, so after genes what is the other thing that contributes to changes in behaviour? Usually the answer is religious, or spiritual experience.
4) Ppl these days are extremely privileged, and we like to have the best of everything. Regardless of how useful darwinism is, it does not encompass all human experiences. It's answers aren't big enough to satisfy us. We can see the gaps.
Also an interesting thought, if there are new ways of being that are capable of understanding the universe better, then there's also an infinite number of ways of being that will make us understand the universe worse. I really hope we don't get too far into experimenting with that.
Agreed, people have it too easy today to be overtly darwinistic. They have the most group unity I think however and it would grow massively if there was a conflict like Weimar Germany.
As seen with the modern left, all you need to do to get large groups of people attached to nihilistic ideals is to attach moral qualities to them initially and let them fall into nihilism afterward.
Darwinists today can easily do this by framing it as "A glorious revenge against the evil marxists and western cultural decline" to get people on board. Rudyard even describes how the Darwinist use Christianity as a cover for this purpose.
Too based. Darwinism, at its logical conclusion (complete determinism), is detrimental and useless at best to the human experience. We've got to have something to believe in, like religion.
Your first point is why I believe that Christianity and Darwinism are completely incompatible, Darwinism is a conclusion based on materialism after observing the reality we live in, this totally denies the existence of the soul in humans
The economy and population are about to explode and crash respectively, most western nations are being demographically replaced by aggressive foreign men who represent a "other" scapegoat and most women have been found to follow whatever the behavior of the men around them are or allow, the only reason for the rise of female dominance lately is a lack of push back and censorship for dissenters, couple that with yes men who won't go against progressives and you get where we are
I agree the factors have to change but all signs point to them changing and once they do they can't revert, then we will see how many men start to bring this struggle back to the realm of force and blood
I don't see how we can move beyond the current near-universal materialist-mechanical world view, until the spiritual view comes up with something analogous to what the Periodic Table and the Laws of Physics are for the materialist view: rules that are comprehensive and universally applicable by any educated person to arrive at the same results as those of other people.
People like the Monroe institute have been hard at work on this for decades now, and they’ve shown astounding results, it’s just that it’s never talked about because the framework of this world will just dismiss it
A spiritual worldview will always leave open the possibility of human free will. It could never produce a formulaic rules to results outcome in the material world like the materialist views have. That would amount to something similar to magic or witchcraft. The best we can hope for is the growth of virtue in the adherent
Whatifalthist implies that we need to believe in either god or the soul to not fall into nihilism or self destructive behavior, I do agree with this assumption because iv struggled with them both, he also says that due to materialism its impossible for a lot of the people to believe in them which is true for me as well, I couldn't believe in them even if wanted to because I just don't think they could exist based on the evidence we have. What can be done about this?
@@caymansharp623 do more research my friend. The evidence is there if you really look for it. Many point to intelligent design theory and all of its’ trappings, and the fact the Big Bang has recently been disproven by the James Webb telescope. It was a half baked idea thought up by atheistic scientists to explain away the creation of the universe anyway, something by definition cannot come from nothing after all. I personally am a Christian because aside from my own personal testimony and those of others, archeological evidence does support the Bible as a reliable historical source, and that events did happen as described, even supposed supernatural ones like the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. It even predicts at the time future historical events to a T, to the point historians have had to find some cope to explain it like it was written later or something, despite it having such an intimate knowledge of the culture at the time such an idea is dubious. If you are curious about all this, the RUclips channel Testify has a lot of great videos showing just how accurate and well put together the Bible is.
@@caymansharp623 additionally, out of body testimonies from those who have had a near death experience point to there being an existence after this. Often times they report seeing or hearing things such as a conversation that happened in a completely different room or even farther away that actually happened exactly as they described. NDEs are also a good avenue to research.

Carl Jung made a really good point in The Undiscovered Self that modern Christianity has, as an enterprise, failed to mesh with the drift towards a rationalistic mind in more modern days from a more instinctual mind of days past. He said that the problem wasn't that Christianity was failing to appeal to rationality, but rather it was trying to conform its teachings to a rational logic rather than to the myth in which its true value lies. It was a brilliant piece of insight, and I think we might see that forgotten half of it play out in the coming decades.
Religion does not change by itself, it does not have it's own agency. Religion changes if it's believers wish to. Anyone can be a believer of any religion as long as it's contents can be tied to the believers interpretation. Christianity killed itself. It's emphasis on truth led to science, and science to the death of God. Once God is dead, it topples. All the foundation of the religion is no longer valid. Then you look at the history and for how many centuries has the entire moral structure of the west been based on Christianity? Nihilism and absolute neglect for all that exists and breathes is a normal reaction when one views it like this. Religion can no longer exist in the rational mind, it was the rational mind that killed it. I'm not sure if you've read anything or even heard of Nietzsche but I think it'd be at the very least interesting for you to interact with his ideas. Pretty sure Jung also was heavily influenced by Nietzsche.
Yes, Faerie Stories are irrational.
That sounds fascinating and intuitive, but... i must admit it's beyond me. Can you explain it a little more please?
@@JohnW-sy1eo The idea was that with the rise of rationality and literalism after the enlightenment, people began to have problems with the Word due to many of its claims of miracles and creatonism conflicting with logic and science, which it certainly does in a few areas. However, Jung argued that its true value was one of the story and the myth, with its stories and lessons appealing to innate human nature and symbolism. Attempting to assert the literalism of the story with the rise of logic with too little focus on the symbolism detracted from the lessons and Truths being conveyed by the story.

If you actually know stuff about machine learning and artificial intelligence you know that we're actually pretty far from a singularity type event. AI ushering in a fourth industrial revolution is probably correct though. Just like with the previous industrial revolutions this will undoubtedly come with its own set of problems.
I see myself as a hybrid Darwinist/Christian. I am staunchly antimaterialist and believe firmly in the human soul, given by God, which separates us and gives us dominion over all the other beasts. We did not "evolve spirituality" or "develop religion as a cope;" rather, it was something intentional put there by God, and that natural connection to the divine was severed at Eden and people have been trying to reconnect that part of themselves since. At the same time, a lot of our bones, meat, and muscle are similar with other animals so we should expect humans to behave like animals if their souls are not connected to divinity. The Darwinist idea of natural selection can be viewed as examples of God's sovereignty over Creation. If you view the world as a beautiful, complicated, and creative place as I do, even if it did come about through millions of years of evolution, there is undeniably intention, beauty, and creativity behind it.
That being said, God gave us the natural world to learn about Himself, and about us. He told us how to live through Biblical Scripture. It's funny how much evolutionary psychology has vindicated Christianity as an evolutionary advantageous religion. EvoPsych says that people are happiest when they are in small communities with shared values and have a religion with rituals and taboos to follow. Christianity is an urban religion that flourished in cities because it allowed people to form those communities even in large cities. When the congregation got to big, God would call people to become missionaries and to go out into the world and preach the Gospel.
I think there's a way to meld Chrisitianity and Darwinism without contradiction. The main argument will be what doctrine takes precedence and adapts when a contradiction does appear. (I lean towards giving Christianity dominance since it's divine and the words of the Creator will always be truer than the discoveries and theories of the created.) There is a way to spread it in a way that appeals both to Christian fundamentalists and the secular masses.
There are… some aspects of Darwinism that aren’t compatible with Christianity, but yeah, for the most part, survival of the fittest is what led to Christianity to thrive.
@@luigimrlgaming9484 Agreed. That's why I said that Christianity needs to take precedence when something incompatable does arise.
Darwinism is totally the opposite of the ideas preached by Christ, in Darwinism the weak must be crushed while Christ preaches that the weak must be helped.

Darwinism is Survival of the fittest, those who have a certain trait will thrive others will fail.

Alot of Christians forget that the definition of the word meek is not the same as weak or harmless. Meek is taking the loving and peaceful path when you are more than capable of defending yourself or are capable of destroying your enemies. If you can't you are either weak or harmless. Meaning you have no power to defend yourself, your family and what you care about.
A real Christian cannot be Darwinist, Christianity says we have to help and have mercy on the weak while Darwinism says the weak must be crushed

I personally think the southwest is developing separate of the rest of the US, integrating Mormonism, Mexican Catholicism, Leftist Nature Worship, partial machineism, and Indigenous culture that are converging on a separate worldview. Once demographics, ecology, history, and spiritual culture are added; it seems like this area is where a potential new American civilization will form.
I could see the Texan part of the southwest adopting a new worldview, but California, the current heart of the region, is in terminal decline and probably won’t recover within the century in a situation much like the rust belt. Texas on the other hand has a growing dynamism that will propel the nation forward in much the same way that the rust belt propelled the nation in the early half of the 20th century and the techno-financial hubs of the northeast and west coast propelled the nation through the second half of the century and through to today. When you combine Texas with Florida, another massively growing region, you have the potential for the next 50 years of American history to revolve around the gulf coast rather than the southwest.
How is any of this relevant? It’s important because the nation is on the precipice and the region of the country that can either see it through the crisis and recovery phase or can successfully form a new nation will serve as the foundation for a new cultural identity. What both of these states bring to the table are money, industry, cultural dynamism with the new being combined with the old, a higher religiosity than most of the country since they’re in close proximity to the Bible Belt, and , most important of all, hope for the future since these two states are the two that have spaceports located within their borders.
The frontier mentality has always been a part of the American ethos and spirit. Whether it was crossing the Appalachians to settle Ohio or crossing the Great Plains to reach Oregon, Americans throughout the nations history have always dreamed of new horizons. Once the west was tamed America shifted this dream towards technological progress and expanding that frontier, but it could only work for so long before people realized that all technological progress plateaus at some point. Take a look at the automobile or the smartphone as two examples. It was exciting to get a new car or a smartphone because each iteration was vastly different from the one that came before and incorporated the latest innovations into their design, but now it’s just a normal part of life where each new iteration only slightly improves upon the last design. Americans want to have hope in the future and I truly believe that the states who hold the keys to the universe will become the cultural nexus of whatever comes next

36:43 my thoughts exactly. I've abandoned marxism after ten years of (hard) militancy. Between the many reasons why, there's a few more important than the rest in which this one is included: the russian revolution was 3 million men, rifle to the shoulder, with their manhood right in its place, ready to fight and die for a classless society, for the universal human community.
Now in the last 4-5 years of my militancy, any and all person leaning to the left or being curious about marxism (specially women, but not exclusively) would have absolutely nothing positive to say about men or masculinity or our innate strengths. Apart from when we admit to be emotionally "vulnerable" and "deconstructing" ourselves, that is. In the words of Marx himself: what does this people think a revolution looks like?

SHUT IT DOWN
Just finished the vid, and as someone who is involved with all 4 groups I have some pointers:
1) While I agree with your death-seeking mentality for the Darwinists, the Natzees (or rather, the Austrian Painter at least) really did have a rational goal in mind. Watch TIK's video on "The REAL Reason why Austrian Painter HAD to start WW2" for a more in depth explanation, but the long and short of it is that the society during his time saw the West as the technologically advanced partner in a trading relationship to the East, who were only exporting raw materials like food and ore. AP's theory was that if enough time passed, the East would become as technologically advanced as the West, while the West would not be able to extract any more resources than what they were capable of, resulting in a switch in the relationship of economic servitude. It's also why he was so impatient with moving East and saw every other front as a nuisance instead of strategically important.
Other than that, Darwinists have a lot more in common with the Marxists than what you seem to discuss, being that a good chunk of Fascist movements are pretty much different kinds of socialism - however the main difference is that they promote a masculine view of the nanny state, where the individual is molded to serve it, whereas the Marxists want the state to be the one driving the people. Additionally, modern Darwinists are becoming the DE FACTO right wing because they are capable of projecting influence on individualists and classic liberals, since they're completely mistreated by the other parties;
2) I work in tech and while I agree that Techbros have a distorted view of their role as the next messiahs, a lot of it stems from the bizarrely toxic positivity of their PR. Technology right now is in this awkward state where it's overpriced AND underappreciated at the same time: companies put an immense amount of stock into completely abstract concepts like blockchain, metaverse and now LLMs paraded as "AI", but the reality is that all these technologies have been widely studied if not available for quite a while, but tech companies have such a monopoly over information and opinion-forming that they can just create new sectors out of thin air, mostly filled with completely vapid DEI-type people and white elephant projects, and even if their projects fail they can still write it off as a victory for the investors because just by FOMO alone they move enough money to compensate any losses. At the same time, tech is not appreciated enough by the common people because there is no understanding behind the actual inner working of a lot of it, so AIs can be freely paraded as this new catch-all solution when in reality they need to be fine tuned to get the right results, or how encryption really is the key towards more freedom for the average person but the association with crypto and the complex mathematics involved make it seem like a much more arcane system than it is. And don't get me started on how people suddenly remembered that their private data has always been in the hands of corporations, and only now that they're seeing it used in image generation and voice cloning they're starting to grasp the actual gravity of having your stuff online;
3) The Center-Right of every North American and European political party is fundamentally just as Marxist as the Center-to-Far-Left. They may say otherwise, but the reality is that they just have a different target - while Left Wingers want more money for more ineffective social programs and to micromanage the economy, Right Wingers still want the state to use all the resources it can extract from the citizens to either save the companies with the larger workforce or for other branches of government like infrastructure builders or the army, while still trying to micromanage society. It's then no surprise that all the moderate or conservative parties in those areas are completely falling apart in support, while Darwinist parties that are decidedly more individualist and less centered around the old way of running the state are gobbling up their votes. Just the last few elections that saw center-left parties rise to the top still saw the Darwinist parties increase in power dramatically;
4) I have recently had my Confirmation and had to spend several days with actual church fanatics and I can say this: Religious people are addicted to their own charity. They will survive every possible political change in the world for the next thousand of years but if things stay as they are now they will never have an actual effect on any other group, acting more like the Switzerland of ideologies. Your observation that they see the world only through themselves and think the other groups are just misguided and acting with the same morals is 100% on the money. Additionally, Religious people have yet to address a lot of questions that just do not sit right with their beliefs - one of the participants to the Confirmation had a crisis of faith because he had been homosexual all his life and the church has no real answer to it other than God loving them for what they are, which still does not let them interact freely with other of the same ideology. Similarly, a lot of time was spent on trying to dispel the image of Christianity as a stuffy religion, given that a lot of the imagery is either very sexual or very masculine in nature, however they will refuse to commit to either out of fear of being swallowed by one of the other three groups. It honestly turned me further away from religion than towards it.
Just wanted to point out that anybody who has read Marx and considers themselves a Marxist does not want the government to waste time on pointless social reform programs.
Marxist work to educate the masses with a dialectical materialist analysis of modern capitalism. While educating, the Marxist works to support the working class movements around the globe. They help with strikes, campaign for fair labor laws, and work with farmers to protect land from big agriculture.
Marxism is constantly misunderstood because the modern "left" is very uneducated and is highly idealist. Marx would vomit in his mouth at the liberal idealism being displayed.
@@alantucker9544 LOL, man, of the 10 marxist commandments, the number 1 and 2 order both the expropiation of all private property of every citizen of the nation, and the abolishment of inheritance. These 2 commandments are basically total slavery for every human under marxist regime, because if you aren't allowed to posses anything while the nation still produces wealth, guess what, the casts or the elites will be the only owners of that wealth expropiated from the working classes. So with marxism people end up without property, without rights, without inheritance or future, totally enslaved, i guess Cuba and the USSR are perfect reflections of the comunist manifesto, the system was implemented correctly there, you see the results, they are terrible. If anyone still believe that marxism is a good system well they either are part of an elite class that benefits from marxism or they are extremely dumb and brainwashed.
As a fellow 4-groupist, I agree, good additions. Indeed, Hitler's motives were rational and Darwinists are good at gobbling Marxist and liberal constituencies up. Believing in natural hierarchy, ferocity and competition helps. You're right that the average Joe doesn't know how tech works. I should add, even those who use it all day xD. And that Marxism occupies both sides of the political spectrum across the West. Especially that religious people need to answer uncomfortable questions. Well, the Church Fathers thoroughly addressed such issues from experience, it's just that patristics are utterly lost on the West (for now). I hope you draw closer to God (even if that's without the confines of traditional religion) and maybe discover Orthodoxy for yourself, and have success in your tech job. God bless.

Considering his co-author to his Manifesto was a serial child rapist and the inventor of the modern philosophy of Hedonism, I actually don't think Marx would be all too upset with the current state of affairs in that regard. Engles certainly wouldn't be
@@coupledyetivonvanderburg5385 very curious about your evidence for this statement
