The book was described as tremendously explanatory of the current societal state by tracing how the definition of happiness evolved from adapting to reality to self-definition, linking this shift to issues like transgenderism.
I know you don't like this term, but I actually think one of the biggest issues and obviously this is, I think what underpins everything we're discussing though and it goes back to like reason is that people just don't think critically because we are actually producing people not to think. I mean how many people do you think that go to church if they've ever even actually read the Bible? Oh, very few.
I have constructed it though that you cannot point out that our culture is now almost universally trashed. But if you point that out, you're kind of cranky.
What's new I think right now, and I've been referring to this book cause I really think it's fabulous. There's a book by Carl Truman called The Rise and Try-On for the Modern Self and I think it's tremendously explanatory of just where we are as a society.
The point that Carl Schrueman makes, and he brings this forward to transgenderism is that religious people, traditionally conservative people they look at this and they go, this makes no sense. How can you say that I identify as something that I obviously am not?
