Guy's got some brilliant observations. I'm really glad that platforms like RUclips make it possible to even find lectures like this seven years after the fact. Like a lot of the IDW there's a lot here to floss your brain with and identify your own weak heuristics. Rupert Sheldrake actually gave him an honorable mention in a recent podcast and that's part of how I ended up finding about him to begin with. Suffice to say I do believe in the 'other' and that to some degree the other is us, that sort of sits well in his observance of atheistic and polytheistic animists and the like coming with the 18th and 19th century territory, and yet it really doesn't change what you need to know about life or how sharp and at the ready you need it.
+Jo Deferme: do you still, three years after, believe in the makeability of the world? It seems to me that God, who I do not particularly believe in, has been roaring with laughter since.
Eternal return is my layman's faith. It's my "secular" answer found for myself, and it's an ancient faith. Infinite recycling of everything forever into the infinite repeating almost nearly, all patterns, forever, so that everything does everything, or nearly does everything, forever. Infinite ashes to ashes, dust to dust, of everything, recycling into all patterns, nearly perfectly repeating, forever. The almost infinitely symmetric recycling patterns, forever. Contemplating "eternal return" and what that might logically be, is religious experience enough and certainly embracive, and sort of an autopilot omnipotent actuality, for me. That's my "religion." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternal_return
Interesting lecture, although he typically and regrettably does not believe in the makability of the world... which of courxse, it is... as long as we want it to be
Seven types of Atheism was another Excellent Book by Gray

Wow I sure hope you're wrong. That's a really ugly and hopeless religion.
