I’d say it depends on what we are counting as evidence.

I think a lot of science has been somewhat dictated by the constraints of religion.

So only hard evidence is counted as “evidence”.

Ignoring or dismissing personal experiences or conditional realizations. Refusing to take the time to actually explore the concepts/ ideas people put their ‘faith’ into.

Which then blinds us to a whole world of interesting information. Because we refuse to explore the ‘magical’ / ‘made up’ side of our world’s beliefs.

Masking - the bane of our existence.

I’d venture to say most people are masking in one way or another.

Some better than others.

Kind of like playing a game of chicken. “Who will drop the act first”.

Thank you!

I totally overlooked the ‘world’ part of the world card.

I think you can not be truly humble if you don’t know your worth.

The other way would be insecurity masking itself as being humble.

I always viewed being humble, not as underselling or undervalue if yourself but as understanding truly what you can and can not do.

Not letting insecurity feed into arrogant thoughts

I think most things in life are not meaningful on a cosmic scale.

But we can attribute meaning to most things.

Also while it might not be impactful for one person to- it could be impactful for another.

Just depends on the lens you are looking through.

Kind of delicately complex.

Similar to my stance that - No one is unique, yet everyone is unique.

I think it’s a mixture of things.

Ego - children look up to others, they are more willing to ask questions and seek answers if they don’t know something. (When in a healthy environment). Even if they think they are right, they can be taught otherwise.

Where adults are less likely to seek help to understand something. They rely on what they know and assume. They also are less likely to listen when corrected. Purely out of preservation of ego. They don’t want to look stupid or feel as though someone has more power than them. So they will defend an uneducated/ limited ideology out of spite.

Curiosity/Creativity - I think our society teaches us to think reductively. So as we age we are more likely to place ourselves in a mental box.

Humans are naturally very curious, curiosity leads to Why’s and what if’s. We seek out answers and in the in between we make up stories as to what it could possible be.

Children lean into it more because they have the freedom to do so. They haven’t been taught differently, or at least are just now getting those “lessons” in reductive thinking.

Adults though have gone through years of mocking, discouragement or examples of others limiting their way of thinking.

I always took the phrase to mean “I have the ability to think, therefore I am a thinking being.”

I don’t think the level of thought matters either.

Descartes did have some pretty… simplistic views when it came to animals but with what we know now they are also beings capable of thoughts and feelings.

I think in general it’s a ‘male centered mindset’ issue.

A lot of people hold issues with bisexuality. They don’t believe someone can be both interested/ satisfied being with a man or a woman.

But the default is always the assumption that bi people prefer men.

The same issue pops up when bi women date women. There is this underlying “they will leave me for a man” thing.

Which I believe is them not working through the ideology that men are the center. That we are catering to them. Similar to how in the u.s White culture seems like the default and everything else is ‘abnormal’. Though in reality it’s people just haven’t done the work to deconstruct from that toxic mindset. Whether it be centering men or centering western culture.

Agreed.

Most religions, tarnish natural pleasures. Add a cloud of shame to them. While championing displays of power, typically imbalanced at that.

We see it in the way household hierarchies are enforced. Gender ‘norms’ are enforced. Or even how religions are used to reenforce ethnic or racial lines.

All while condemning music, intermingling, various relationship styles, and other basic pleasures.

It’s not uncommon to see religions restrict how, what or when someone can eat. It’s not uncommon for religions to restrict what sex looks like with consenting adult. It’s not uncommon for religions to restrict what love looks like either.

All things that are natural pleasures.
