See further below my “Re-affirming the basic project/purpose of this site”– i.e. to tell visitors that “It’s going to be alright for everyone, ultimately”. That affirmation is based on natural world evidence as per the research of people like Julian Simon (“Ultimate Resource”).
And then probing deeper into the human psyche/subconscious and our primal impulse for meaning (i.e. human curiosity over the why and purpose of the world), I offer again some of the best insights from wisdom sages of the past to affirm my Daddy claim that “It will be alright, ultimately”. This affirmation is especially critical for our kids who have been battered with hobgoblins like “climate apocalypse” and other panic-mongering scenarios over past decades.
This is about going to the deepest possible roots of human primal fears and anxieties- i.e. those archetypes of the subconscious that continue to affirm the threat theologies of religious traditions as well as the threat theologies now embraced in “secular/ideological” belief systems.
Further below, a look at the two main approaches to organizing human societies since the beginning- i.e. the collectivist approach that centralizes power in governing elites and the approach oriented to protecting the freedoms and rights of all individuals, equally. Which has produced “the most good for the most people”? Which has actually functioned better to achieve “the common or greater good”?
Note that the long-term “elite/commoner divide” in human societies appears to be very much today a “left/right” divide. Or better, an “elite/state bureaucracy versus populist divide”.
See below: “Collectivism vs the individual approach”, and some back and forth with Grok (xAI) on these two main approaches to organizing human societies across history.
Now the “Daddy” thing driving this site…
In one sense this site is about endless re-iteration of “love your enemy because God does”. The singularly most profound thing ever stated/written/communicated. It takes love to the highest reach of humaneness and maturity.
And the behavior/ethical element illustrates the stunning new theology of deity as unconditional love that overturns the entire fraudulent mess of bad ideas in the complex of myths that support threat theology. There is no ultimate threat. All are safe, ultimately. There is nothing to ultimately fear with that no conditions Love at the core of reality (“core of reality”- meaning the creating/sustaining deity). Read the rest of the opening comment here
