i love this! but im confused about the example given for Dawkins argument coming from Q2 (physiological?) versus a religious mindset derived from Q1. im trying to understand how (or why) it is that Dawkins argument is set in Q2. i get the Q1 belief system of a religious person. will someone please elaborate more on the Q2 area, and how Dawkins argument is placed there. (Q2 is described as physiology: heart rate, blood pressure, hormones, etc).
An interesting way to look at things although I’m not necessarily on board with many of the ways in which it’s divided.
For instance, the assertion that a hunter/gatherer have a different experience than a westerner doesn’t exactly hold. While I agree that their fundamental hungers are the same, but the way they go about it isn’t different. They’re both in a hunting phase that’s pretty much the same. The difference is a lot smaller than the assertion suggests.
I also don’t know that I agree on the idea that if you go visit a different country then you’re looking at the external collective. One assumes that you’re going there because of an interest in the place you’re going. You’ve probably read about the place and perhaps read about other people’s experiences as well as people who lived there all of their lives. So you aren’t looking in from the outside necessarily.
if i may, you make valid points however, as with the foreign country example given, it is to be taken at face value. you are adding more layers to its supposition. of course people generally read up on a place before visiting. but that's not the premise. it's intended to be coming from a clean slate with no prior knowledge of the country, as if you landed there from outer space. the supposition ~ a thought experiment ~ isn't supposed to be picked apart.
Wonderful post! And I've been sending subscribers your way Substacks recommendation feature haha. Keep it up!
Ah delighted to hear it Brenden and thanks for the recommendation! I'd wondered where the extra few were coming from!
