How do beliefs come together? I have engaged in an interesting sociological experiment talking to progressives to better understand the basis and assumptions of their beliefs. Although I was not surprised in general I did learn more about their beliefs in greater detail and it led to a better understanding of the foundation of human belief.

A healthy world view is with approached with humility and is tamed with real life experiences.

Totally agree too, its hard to have a productive conversation when the other person wants to win their argument.

Women's eternal ever asking to expand THEIR freedom, is not to do the hard things men already do, it is so as to CONTROL the hard things men already do, servants so to speak. That is their sort of freedom, the one where they get all the rewards of civilisation for a smile, and men get to serve them in all the necessary things that need to be done, that they cannot do, the HARD things.

Socialisation is a product of biology.
Progressivism is basically a religeon. This is the most important thing to understand about progressivism.

My only real regret is spending so much time trying to convince people that couldn't be convinced. People are just hard wired to their way of thinking.

My belief economy wise is that we'll have a slow decline over the next decade like a deflating balloon

The economy is great if you're rich. The economy is trash if you're poor. It's mediocre if you're middle class. All the money is traveling upwards, so overall it's doing terribly. It's not sustainable.

10:12 - I'm guessing having it be unfalsifiable is the point. The power game and the truth game only seem to occasionally overlap, most of the time the raw power game is showing other people how you can bend / distort reality and it's about proving to them that facts not only don't but can't matter.

So basically the conclusion is what we already knew, that talking to the left is a waste of time and energy.

So, if biology bears no factor in their beliefs then why is giving the child to the mother in a custody case considered to be "in the best interests of the child"?

Flesh is weak. It is flesh that is the root of all weakness.

[Torgo]

"If our beliefs about the nature of reality serve to minimize death anxiety, then whenever we encounter people who do not share our beliefs, whether we are aware of it or not, we have a problem. Because if we accept the validity of an alternative conception of reality, we necessarily do so by undermining the confidence with which we subscribe to our own beliefs. And once that happens, we expose ourselves to the very anxiety that our beliefs were erected to diminish in the first place." - Sheldon Solomon

I do think biology has the most affect on us, socialization can affect us, but is miniscule compared to biology and genes.

Faith by definition isn't based on facts but on conviction. The problem emerges when believers pretend to have a scientific and rational approach to reality.
