Against The Cultural Christianity Argument
October 04, 2024 · Original source
I’m in this argument’s target audience. Although I'm mostly atheist, I accept that the modern world has worse aesthetics than its predecessors. I think it's trying as hard as it can to push a bad-things-are-good philosophy down our throat that we might one day choke on. And like everyone else in this category, I'm anti-woke. I do hope the worst is over, but I have continued nightmares about what would have happened if the DEI world had done a better job exploiting the post-George Floyd moment and cemented its advantage forever.

29: I’ve appreciated some of Jeff Mauer’s posts recently, especially Should People Who Blast Their Music In Public Receive Fines, Or Be Slowly Tortured To Death? (though recently I heard a claim that this is all downstream of Apple removing the headphone jack from their phone; I think government should intervene by fining the blasters, but if not pressuring Apple to add it back on externality grounds would be an interesting move) and Democrats Could Build A Message Around Competence If We Didn’t Have DEI Stink On Us (paywall).
