govols comments on Oct 21, 2020:

My comprehension of Christianity is that its viability as a world view relies on it being adaptable to any number of the infinite cultures for which it's required to provide a meaningful message of hope and faith. I'm not a big fan of the current pope, but his his the head of a family. He has to manage its many dysfunctions. People need a certain amount of faith in the stories that formed them and the cultures in which they reside, AND they need relationships, communities, and micro-communities like families and life-partners. I have a queer couple in my in-group, one of whom struggles with cancer, and the other of whom will need the comfort he provided his "mate" returned many-fold once the struggle is lost. It seems to me that God's law, God's Word, has to be many layered and apply to humanity at large, any given Nation, any given community, and to any given individual. For the word to be redemptive on so many levels, across the times and spaces in which individuals have, do, and will in time exist, it must present itself as a pair of open arms into which humans experiencing the feelings of overwhelming hurt that we all enjoy can lean into for a Heavenly hug. Yes, it also has to provide discipline, rules and expectations, tyranny from time to time, but also the possibility that acceptance within the Body is available?

ok so i figure this is probably the beat place to ask this and get a real answer.

govols comments on Oct 21, 2020:

This is a big deal. As some might suspect, I'm sort of fond of the wilderness, wandering around among the obscurities of human thinking, but of late I'm running out of places to hide from their implications. One of the things I'm facing presently is the complete collapse of world view grounding. The reality is that I'm a 20th century mind, living in an utterly incomprehensible 21st century, with an 18th century world view that's really, honestly (and much to my surprise) grounded in a pre-teen's confidence in an antique Protestant faith, the belief in which I grew out of decades ago. If any among us exists in a nihilistic reality it yours truly. Oddly, there's a certain comfort one can take from such a manner of being. I agree that science is the dominant force driving modern thinking, but I'm not persuaded that any of us is really uncertain about the reality of Truths of the classical world view. I say that because even as we're largely scientific materialists in current year, even the damned atheist determinists, Marxist theorists on the material forces of history, hell, even the nothing can possibly be knowable post-modernists cling to meta-physical notions with no relationship to measurable reality. There has to be a way to move this conversation, as difficult as I might find it. Free will is probably an illusion. The ancients knew it was so, in that we were subject to the fates, possessed by the gods, governed by the will of God; us moderns know it, too, but we grasp it scientifically because we no longer share a collection of stories that give the reality of helplessness any meaningful hope that there's a purpose behind it all. That's why the internet is eat up with people doing "meaning-making" content. Well, how about if human agency, moral responsibility, and material determinism are perfectly compatible within a phenomenological framework that simply accepts as TRUE that undergirding all of it there's a plan toward which we're all obliged to aim. Any knowledge we might ever have of the plan can only be revealed through our perceptions of how we got here, and because our personal knowledge of reality is so infinitesimally limited we have no choice but to dig it out in conflict or conversation.

govols comments on Oct 6, 2020:

I once had to write an essay on this topic. I was in my late thirties at the time, comp 101 as a summer college class. Compare and contrast two articles, one pro and one con, without making an argument on the topic itself. I failed the assignment but got an A on the paper; I made a "slippery slope argument" against assisted dying by using the very points made in the pro article to demonstrate that the conversation surrounding the topic has evolved from end-of-life models through infant medical conditions that can't be treated, to include teenagers suffering depression. My objection to assisted dying isn't strident, nor especially absolutist, but remains; I object to the idea of making it normative. I object to the notion of society allowing assisted death to become a moral "norm," the sort of "norm" that becomes slippery to a point we no longer box it in with limits on WHY we're willing to assist. I spent the past weekend with my mother-in-law. She's 91. If I saw me approaching her current mental acuity I would check out sooner than later. We usually don't get that choice. If she were my pet I would put her down, but she isn't. She's the mother of my wife and my wife loves her dearly. If she were my wife's pet? I think she'd feel guilty for keeping her alive in her suffering, but wouldn't have the courage to "assist" her passing. It's a fucked up thing to think about.

No matter your view of the ideas presented, the fact is there's always a new normal being formed in the present. That's part of why conservatism always fails. It is fighting a losing battle because it never has a vision for the future. It works to preserve rather to form anew. Conservatism is an intellectual defense of "that's how we've always done it." In reality, the passions rule, and they're the creative forces of human nature. It's the people who act in the world governed by and acting on their passions are the ones creating the "the ways we've always done it" that conservatives will defend tomorrow--or even later this afternoon. There are passionate people at the extremes who are actively working to organize networks and communities in which new ways of being are becoming manifested in the real world. Right and left are BOTH right now active trying to build, work, buy, support local tribal ecosystems, trying to get themselves unwound from impersonal global multicult BS ratrace world.

I think we're going to have to come up with wisdom that stands outside of reality as science might know it, but that works at the level of how individuals experience being within it. I have an idea that you can't do wisdom and science simultaneously; wisdom and knowledge are not the same thing. Wisdom is looking at the meaning we can assign to beauty, goodness, justice, etc., GIVEN what we think we know about reality. If we think reality is deterministic, if humans are limited by genetics and constructed within those limits by environmental factors, then what does it mean to the experience of being? Wisdom is about integrating the reality of the world with the ways we experience that reality. There won't be A correct philosophy, a single set of wisdom across time and space, because reality for us is what we experience rather than the current location and intensity of material and force.
