Religion as Risk Management: Offspring Survival Through Time

Fascinating conversation with Karam. What is religion as risk management? Jordan Peterson got close to it with Sam Harris but not quite there. Nasim Taleb's work comes in. Also Chesterton's Fence.

Notes
Hasim Taleb’s work
Implications of religion over generations
JBP and Sam Harris

How JBP would mention the importance of an embodied individual to act in the world and not just have beliefs. One of the gaps was the simple notion of going to church on Sunday.

Atheists who enroll their children in Catholic school.
That priest really believed what he was doing.
Nasim Talib writes about.
Religion as risk management.
How do I insure the survival of my offspring throughout time?

Glimpse of that in some conversations, Risk management through government

Risk was not being properly addressed.
Loaded gun analogy, that’s risk management
Metaphorical truth is risk management
Still part of him that is “superstitious” can’t point the gun

Risk of losing your life, and losing your identity

Need to act differently towards those

There is something about the religion that maintains order, community, other stuff, whether you understand what it’s doing… you’re not smarter than tradition, certain milestones, this explains a lot about tradition, conflicts,

Simple solutions to problems that you don’t have to encounter in life.

Don’t want to risk

Chesterton’s Fence

Passage from isaiah, locking yourself in your home until the wrath passes

Is Modernity flattening everything out so much that we think we have a handle on it.

We perceive it as being flattened out more than we think

People don’t believe that we need religion anymore

Nassim Talib: between Nassim and Bret Weinstein. Nassim jumped on him

Immigrants, as they bring their religion with them, they lose a bit of their faith through the generations

Christianity has something built into it that it disintegrates

Christianity without God and without Jesus

Secularization on the other religions…


Aesthetics, go to a church because he enjoys the aesthetics
Not a fluent speaker of arabic, also syriac
The sounds of the chanting
Nostalgia, imprinting

Atheists haven’t addressed that correctly
The test of time
Leviticus

The atheists always bring up

Using the atheists to guide him through the Bible

That hero’s journey is a call to action, Jordan Peterson was right
