I never expected much from academic “philosophers”, but I was shocked at how virtually no religious leaders -- especially Christian leaders who are supposed to believe in the inherent worth of the individual — pushed back against the lockdowns. There were a few notable exceptions like Archbishop Vigano and Artur Pawlowski, but these were rogue voices acting outside of the established hierarchy.

Like you pointed out, this indicates a profound failure in our education system and its underlying philosophy.

Saved. We are absolutely in need of a new myth to restore the promise of America. I see it all over substack now, a realization that graphs and data and railing against the excesses of totalitarianism is not enough. We have to get creative, reinforce what sustains us, build strong foundations, support the best in us.

I'm convinced transhumans are going to find their augments will make them ill and reduce their life expectancy. Elon is going to be SAD. And yet I fully expect as they are laid low by their tech, they will continue to believe and try to force it on all of us. The real genius is in exemplifying what it is to be human, our innate gifts. We are like a culmination of a billion years of evolution, we are already capable of the most extraordinary things, no brain implants necessary.
