#the central metaphor of part iii is that humans are 90% primate and 10% bee #so he was like talking about stuff that makes us feel like we’re part of a larger calling #and activating what he called our hive switch. and so that was just really interesting #cause that’s how i feel at concerts like. when i went to green day a couple years ago. that was unparalleled in feeling like i belonged #because everybody’s like. singing along to the same songs the whole bohemian rhapsody was honestly more of a religious experience than #anything that i’ve experienced within actual religion #oh another cool thing about this guy is that he hates those atheists who just hate all religion indiscriminately for being fundamentally #stupid and dumb and whatever whatever whatever. because they’re completely missing the point #and like. unless something really wild happens over the next couple years. no religion can be proven or disproven #but it’s stupid to dismiss any of them as pointless and a flaw of human evolution when they’re an easily accessible type of community #and humans are to some degree eusocial creatures and we kind of need that kind of thing #so anyway. i just thought it was neat. im going to go start getting ready for school now #but just yeah #me. my post. mine. #delete later #also i think it’s stupid to dunk on all organized religion to begin with like even without any scientific grounds for it #but i just like how he debunked the ideas in a scientific way so that people can stop saying oh religion is a freak of nature #i thought it was cool #ok bye
