I agree that Matt uses it this way, but the TrueAnon guest was pretty explicit about it being religion and that belief in humans as purely physical/biological beings is bad/harmful. Which I think is assuming causation where it doesn't make sense (since nothing about "humans are purely biological beings" implies "and therefore it doesn't matter what we do to them").

It also doesn't really make sense if you look at a country like China, which definitely doesn't value human life less than the US, despite bring far less religious.

It very much seems like a reaction to annoying people online or in the sort of social circles the guest has been exposed to.

i think that media guy is jewish and was proposing some kind of mysticism rather than explicit adoption of dogmatic, organised religion. this is still silly, however, and could be avoided if the USA didn't collectively decide that kant was for nerds and that pure reason is actually great and can solve all your problems

If you had to pick, oganized religion is way better for political organizing than "mysticism"

they might have typical horrible australian beliefs but i havent really heard anything like that from the episodes ive listened to. also i found them via the radio war nerd facebook group so i figure they cant be too bad. maybe not!

I jumped to what would likely be the worst opinions (Ukraine war talk and China talk) and while some of it was a bit lib, it was way less bad than I expected. also very Australian to have a beer review section in the middle.

the tank talk about the china tank made me want to look up tank games. maybe I should try war thunder or world of tanks or something.

Yeah, he didn't appear to be referring to organized religion specifically, but definitely seemed to be directly opposed to viewing humans as purely beings of flesh and blood.

In the guest's case I think it's largely a reaction to his career apparently focusing on talking to people like tech CEOs, but that's a very specific subset of the ruling class.

With Brace/Liz I think it's just a "being mad at annoying people on the internet" thing.

crepeface posted:

I mean yeah, but my main point is that looking at existing/historical countries definitely doesn't support the idea that a move away from religion/spirituality is a cause of social alienation.
