Deconstructing is a way of life. 5w4. #Exvangelical

Let's talk about categories for a minute. 🧵

No, not the specific categories we use... the concept of categories itself.

(and this is 100% a subtweet of the anti-trans postition, just to be clear)

@mykola @nickcammarata 🤯

So what's the best way you've found to establish that somatic axiomatic source of truth?

[Jeremy Bearimy's Timey Wimey... Stuff @jluce50]

@mykola Further, once you apprehend the moon, you no longer really need the finger. Sure, it's useful and edifying in many ways, but it could disappear and you'd be just fine. Fundamentalism can never allow that.

[Jeremy Bearimy's Timey Wimey... Stuff @jluce50]

@mykola Yep. I was thinking recently about how fundamentalism in any form is essentially making an idol out of the finger (aka the story). Stories point to the thing, they are not themselves the thing. Fundamentalism will go to war to defend its stories.

@SpeedWatkins But is mind *only* a physical thing?

[Jeremy Bearimy's Timey Wimey... Stuff @jluce50]

@mattgoldenberg Interested!

@richardludlow Deconstructing an entire worldview left me standing amidst the rubble with no blueprints for what came next. All I had was the critical thinking skills and the values I had discovered in the deconstruction process, and my intuition.

@Billieiswriting Minor nitpick, but the NAR stream is also extremely dominionist. My guess is that's part of why they're able to tolerate each other (for now).

@mykola I experienced a palpable sense of relief when I realized he was nearly 40 when all that started. I hadn't realized how much that was weighing on me!

@sacwriter That is a good one! Another one that will blow your mind is Tripping With Nils Frahm.

[Jeremy Bearimy's Timey Wimey... Stuff @jluce50]

@Jeanvaljean689 Yep, it was definitely a before & after experience. I see it everywhere now!

[Jeremy Bearimy's Timey Wimey... Stuff @jluce50]

@vividvoid There are multiple causes, but I think, like most mammals, we don't reproduce well in captivity. The social media panopticon, late stage capitalism, political binary/tribalism, etc. all contribute to a collective sense of being in trapped in these systems (captivity).

@vividvoid Also, Roberto Ferri

@vividvoid It would be criminal not to have Dead Can Dance at the top of this list...

@heynibras Not gonna lie, it's a slog (at times) to get through. Not because it's bad or boring, there's just SO MUCH. That said, reading The Master and His Emissary was very much a before/after experience. I have so much more understanding of our current predicament than I did before.

[Jeremy Bearimy's Timey Wimey... Stuff @jluce50]

@TylerAlterman In the context of Jungian active imagination, it's understood that even if you are consciously "making stuff up", it's still drawing on the unconscious to do so. What is made up isn't random or meaningless. I wonder if that applies here too?

@crystalcheatham @thepursuinglife The Hippolyta episode absolutely wrecks me every time I watch it. Seriously one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen on television...

[Jeremy Bearimy's Timey Wimey... Stuff @jluce50]

@algekalipso The history of Evangelicalism and the rise of Christian Nationalism.

[Jeremy Bearimy's Timey Wimey... Stuff @jluce50]

@the_wilderless ...or a source of despair.

[Jeremy Bearimy's Timey Wimey... Stuff @jluce50]

@the_wilderless I can't recall if it was you or someone else, but I read something about the importance of an early emphasis on developing a solid moral foundation before getting too far into a meditative practice. That really resonated with me and it seems very relevant to this...

[Jeremy Bearimy's Timey Wimey... Stuff @jluce50]

@the_wilderless Was just thinking about this. It seems almost axiomatic that we need resistance to move.
