@HavocTwoOne The star's majesty is part of it. The patterns and movement which can be tracked with regularity across seasons and years as opposed to just meaningless chaos is part of what gave the ancients (and moderns who try to rationalize it) the idea that a rational god exists.
@zacharyebell What are we disagreeing about?
I would generally agree with you that low impact disagreements of opinions shouldn't matter between friends.
However, ethics and values cannot be compromised upon. Friendship is contingent on shared experience AND worldview.
@xwanyex Problem is, science is not capable of asserting an ethical system. It is a system for physical description, not metaphysical prescription.
The moral relativism they necessarily defended forced them to cede too much power in the social conscience. They want the power back is all.
Tribal warfare from foreign invaders taking sexual conquest from their enemies.
This has been my understanding of the atrocity in the UK.
It is my assertion - and Dr Peterson's - that what is not named, cannot be known. What cannot be known, cannot be confronted.

The closest anyone will get to an equal evaluation is within marriage.
@VaubanBooks Upon my read through (Vauban's edition, thank you!), it really was fairly obvious that the unsavory descriptions of the horde were at least secondary, maybe even tertiary, to the main themes.
The reaction to the horde descriptions just proves Raspail's point.
@wylfcen I'd argue that it took from 15-30 to make oneself into a man.
So now what do we do? Delay the start of that process until 25, and then people don't finish until 40?
The writers of 14A intended something specific with the "and subject to the jurisdiction" clause which was reaffirmed EXPLICITLY by several court cases afterwards.
This Roberts Court has completely failed to keep with the history and tradition of America.
Intent and tradition has to be taken into account in regards to the Bill of Rights yet is completely ignored when related to something that actually effects national security and the fabric of the Nation.
