Loved this book. I had no idea about the roots of these "modern" ideas nor their philosophical similarity to Christian faith. Sort of scary/not-scary. The challenge I accepted was to simultaneously accept our limited ability to construct and grasp meaning, to revel in it and to try to break it.
Ok, I knew transhumanism and doomerism mirrored Christian eschatological doctrine. I did not realize transhumanism *started* as a Christian movement. O'Gieblyn, an ex-fundamentalist seminarian who lost faith, became a transhumanist, then lost faith again, is also a great writer.

When we attack people's right to hold and express their beliefs we step towards erasure of the individual, the central goal both of totalitarian and patriarchal thought.

Kristina Luce Leach shares some thoughts on what the world is going through which I agree deeply with. As E. O. Wilson said, "We have paleolithic emotions, medieval institutions and godlike technologies". As Kris says, the stakes couldn't be higher.

I'm thinking the question is whether men who have any issues respecting female colleagues in combat roles should be allowed to serve. What needs scrutiny is which men become soldiers, not whether women do.
