Need a debate sxn

Go debate yourself

Op trying to combine sociology and anthropology

Go label yourself

OP, I need to agree with the other folks ITT saying you're not going to be taken as seriously while steeping your posts in religious rhetoric and take it a step further. I honestly believe that in order to truly assess the modern age of information, you can't do so through the lens of dogma without first inspecting it.

Consider how some of the greatest stoic philosophers viewed religion. Start with Aquinas and then consider Russell as a counterpoint, if you've not already. Then, consider whether there's actually a benefit in viewing the world through the teachings of a religion (the source of which is as ambiguously human as it could be divine) or if it's actually a crutch.

I personally believe, as someone raised Catholic, that there is no benefit to any ideology that claims to provide truth about what happens after death. None of us know, and there's something truly calming about that to me. We'll get there when we get there. In the meantime, stripping away that context as well as the warped morals of modern organized religion helps me contextualize the world on my own terms much more.

If we're truly entering or in the Age of Aquarius, and I think we might be, then anyone seeking enlightenment needs to seek ego death via the inspection of their core beliefs. Doesn't necessarily mean that you need to come out the other side as an atheist; I'm personally agnostic, but your conclusion might be different. I just very much believe, based on the conversations I've had with devout Catholics both willing and unwilling to set aside their belief structure in search of truth, that you're best served with a healthy understanding of agnostic perspective.

Is transhumanism the next step to building the 'perfect man'? If not what is.

Also what is The Age of Aquarius?

Midwits having a field day itt

Ah okay I see.

I think perfect man doesn't exist. It's the same old problem of building it to always be better.

I don't think our skin and bodies are human, but our brains and the soul connected to it is.

I do think there is a percentage of how much of us that can be replaced before we technically are not ourselves. That limit to me is just the head by itself. Maybe the heart to an extent.

@op the Renaissance is very euro centric idea so wouldn’t that alone prove your theory wrong? While the Renaissance was happening in Europe China and the rest of the world was doing their own thing

Evolution is a tough thing to digest, it's a slow process

A lot of people on this site aren’t interested in discussion and trying to learn new perspectives. For them, it’s about feeling superior, smarter, shutting out opinions that challenge their worldview, gotcha moments etc. I appreciate this thread but unfortunately this is the wrong site for this type of discussion.
