INDOCTRINATION — The Agency to Disbelieve All You Ever Believed

Most beliefs we defend were inherited, not chosen. True freedom begins when we reclaim the courage to question, unlearn, and consciously choose what shapes our lives.

Why Most #Deconversions Happen After 25

#Reason Over #Rituals challenges the foundations of the world’s most powerful #religions — including #Christianity, #Islam, #Judaism, #Hinduism, and more. We challenge #blindfaith with #logic, history, and #criticalthinking. We expose the roots of #religion, dissect #beliefsystems, and explore what happens when reason takes the lead.

Karma and Christianity's final judgement both seem like concepts designed to prevent bad behavior rather than mete out justice ex post facto.

Both frameworks allow for atonement of the offender, so basically ethereal coupons of offsetting behavior, but neither belief system makes whole the aggrieved party.

The best they get is their belief (and satisfaction) that the offender eventually gets what's coming to them.

I really hope I never have to explain these concepts to aliens.

From "Recalibration of limits to growth: An update of the #World3 model"

4.3 Future trends

"So far, the results have mainly been considered in comparison with the empirical data for the recalibration. However, the course of the variables is also interesting in terms of future trends. Here, the model results clearly indicate the imminent end of the exponential growth curve. The excessive consumption of resources by industry and industrial agriculture to feed a growing world population is depleting reserves to the point where the system is no longer sustainable. Pollution lags behind industrial growth and does not peak until the end of the century. Peaks are followed by sharp declines in several characteristics.

"This interconnected collapse, or, as it has been called by Heinberg and Miller (2023), #polycrisis, occurring between 2024 and 2030 is caused by resource depletion, not pollution. The increase in environmental pollution occurs later and with a lower peak (Figure 3).

"However, it is important to note that the connections in the model and the recalibration are only valid for the rising edge, as many of the variables and equations represented in the model are not physical but socio-economic. It is to be expected that the complex socio-economic relationships will be rearranged and reconnected in the event of a collapse. World3 holds the relationships between variables constant. Therefore it is not useful to draw further conclusions from the trajectory after the tipping points. Rather, it is important to recognize that there are large uncertainties about the trajectory from then on, building models for this could be a whole new field of research.

"The fact is that the recalibrated model again shows the possibility of a collapse of our current system. At the same time, the BAU scenario of the 1972 model is shown to be alarmingly consistent with the most recently collected empirical data.

"#Herrington (2021) also concluded in her data comparison that the world is far from a stabilized world scenario where the #overshoot and #collapse mode is brought to a halt. As a society, we have to admit that despite 50 years of knowledge about the dynamics of the collapse of our life support systems, we have failed to initiate a systematic change to prevent this collapse. It is becoming increasingly clear that, despite #technological advances, the change needed to put us on a different trajectory will also require a change in #BeliefSystems, #mindsets, and the way we organize our society (Irwin, 2015; Wamsler & Brink, 2018). [SW model]

"At the point of collapse, the resolution of the model also reaches the limit of further plausible statements. The regional differences in demographic and economic terms are too great to be reduced to simple, highly aggregated variables. To address this problem, a new system dynamics model has been developed on the occasion of #LtG's 50th anniversary which is called Earth for all (Sandrine Dixson-Decleve et al., 2022). It introduces a regional resolution and a measure of social inequality and tension. There is also a greater focus on the causes and effects of the #ClimateCrisis. In #Earth4all, the authors no longer focus on scenarios with sharp declines in the main variables. Instead, the scenario Too little too late describes that the effects of the climate crisis will continue to increase and social tensions will rise, causing the well-being index to decline over time. In another scenario, #GiantLeap, it is shown that these negative developments could also be stopped. The authors then propose various policy changes to achieve this (Sandrine Dixson-Decleve et al., 2022). "

Why New #Religious Movements Are Doomed to Fail

#AtheisticPerspective #PsychologyOfReligion #HumanBelief

Throughout history, countless religious movements have emerged, only to fade into obscurity. Is there a fundamental reason for this repeated pattern? In "Why New Religious Movements Are Doomed to Fail," we explore the intriguing question of why even the most fervent new #beliefsystems seem fated for collapse.

Let's face it, if thinking about the history of #CommonSense and science amounts to #heresy then it's #scientism.

It took me so long to find the language: Belief Systems

Like many people, I was mired in the details of beliefs like Atheism, Christianity, and Buddhism, but when you approach those beliefs from the overarching concept
of a system and the methods used to maintain that system, you can see the underlying similarities, the methods of control.

Our minds are the only thing that are truly our own. We should be free to explore
all of the ideas in the world.

Shortly after I started #writing in earnest, I realized that a lot of the information I sought was difficult to read. I decided to try to write in a way that would be accessible to all.

Then I began to see #lifelongconnections #premonitions and #synchronicity . I think challenging #beliefsystems adds to it.

With my writing, I'm not sure if people are afraid or still can't believe what I have to share even though I am able to document quite a bit.

The Nature of Belief Systems in Mass Publics (1965)

Philip E. Converse.

Belief systems have never surrendered easily to empirical study or quantification. Indeed, they have often served as primary exhibits for the doctrine that what is important to study cannot be measured and that what can be measured is not important to study. In an earlier period, the behaviorist decree that subjective states lie beyond the realm of proper measurement gave Mannheim a justification for turning his back on measurement, for he had an unqualified interest in discussing belief systems....
