Have you heard of "God Gene"? There's a gene identified as "turned on" in people who worship authority. Have you read Robinson Crusoe? I thought the robotic* worship and service Friday gave Robby was absurd and unbelievable. I commented as much in a class. The professor assured me this was a perfectly normal reaction for a primitive.
Perhaps my never being able to see authority as gods who cannot be questioned or challenged means I was born with the God Gene turned off. You, too.
Yes, I have the digital book. Interesting theory and seems some--but little--evidence for a specific gene. Will send it to you in email. For me the "science of religion" is a fascinating field to study. As we have discussed, you and I are those rare ones that do not seem to need a "more powerful OTHER" and I am grateful for that.
Yes, I knew about the etymology of robot, perfect, yes?! And the history shows it shares a "religious" angle:
Karel Capek (1890-1938), from Czech robotnik "forced worker," from robota "forced labor, compulsory service, drudgery," from robotiti "to work, drudge," from an Old Czech source akin to Old Church Slavonic rabota "servitude," from rabu "slave".
This weekend's FFF is undecided and maybe will be a "bring your own dish" forum?
I am working on a Substack post to "out" 3 morally schizophrenic hypocrites who the Freedom Community seems to love with them being against, justly, criminal western governments like the U.S. and Israel but have not bothered to investigate what they are FOR, which is criminal eastern governments like CCP China and Putin Russia.
