Persuasion and Politics - Austen Erickson Serene Desiree 2022-12-07 | I talked to Austen Erickson from the Institute for Effective Policy. The IEP is a movement based on the principles of Effective Altruism. They are sponsored by Scott Alexander from Astral Codex Ten (Formerly Slate Star Codex). Links to the IEP here:https://instituteforeffectivepolicy.org.au/We talked about Effective Altruism, how policies are made, and how individuals can help influence politics. Austen also enlightened me on how the IEP influences policies in a bipartisan manner, and works towards outcomes that everyone is happy with. He also talked about why American politics are so extreme, which explained a lot of reasons behind to culture war to me.

My Biggest Critique of Jordan Peterson (As a super fan) Serene Desiree 2022-12-29 | I talk to PF Jung about Jordan Peterson, and how his action are leading to more extremism and radicalization. Jordan Peterson has helped me greatly, but I nowadays, I seem to exist in a post-Petersonian mindset. I've learned a huge amount from the great Dr. Peterson, but now when I listen to him, I see him fanning the flames of radical ideologies. We're approaching a more cult-like mentality day by day.

Christianity Forces Castration (Judaism Does Not) Chris Gabriel - Meme Analysis Serene Desiree 2022-12-26 | I talk to Chris Gabriel from Meme Analysis about why Judaism has created better intergenerational success than Christianity. Full Video:youtu.be/R-FdZ0M3xUwAmazon Affiliate Links:If you're interested in the symbolism found in the ancient texts, check out The Language of Creation by Matthieu Pageau (it's a Christian book, but I discard the Christian elements and find it very useful as a guide to an ancient way of thought. Useful for understanding any religion in my opinion.)amzn.to/3YLUxj1 You can also check out Carl Jung's work. He's incredible:amzn.to/3VjbDBXPatreon:patreon.com/user?u=2864885Though I have a lot of respect for Christianity, it seems apparent in my mind that Judaism has created stronger, more stable structures over time, as well as stronger, more long lasting communities. It heavily prioritizes education and study. Rabbis have lots of kids, priests do not. In Christianity, the most intelligent, well-studied class of people choose not to have children, whereas in Judaism, they are actively encouraged to do so (in fact, there are many, many career opportunities unable to be attained by rabbis until they are married. I can imagine that a rabbi will also have a deep and real desire to invest himself in the future if he has children.
