Sisyphus, Roll That Boulder

Different hill, different boulder, and still we must envision Sisyphus happy, enjoying the returns of his efforts.

There has been much in the news of Jordan Peterson and his new book and philosophy. He is very articulate but shoot your mouth off, expect flack, ignore flack, as a philosophy... well that is my impression of the Youtube stuff I have seen.

I tried to read his book, but anyone who thinks the bible is literally true, and uses it as an example on the first page of his book does not get me to go beyond there. The bible is story or myths, fairy tails of old, and similar. There may be some truths and fact in it, but even a stopped clock is right twice a day. I have, within my control, the ability to suspend assent and rejection, or hold in abeyance, any proposition.  The bible cannot be considered as historically accurate, for there is enough errors in it that bullshit is bullshit applies.

Any time anyone says anything on the internet, we can expect flack. True. Likely. So keep your negativity to yourself or I will just turn comments off, not just delete them with my bow fingers.

No one is teaching morality anymore. Religion always did a poor job, families likewise, schools not much, so likely all the young get is a bit of incidental learning, social learning. The underlying reasons, causes, benefits, advantages are just not taught. The more I read about ethics, the more I realize that morality has logical foundations, and we drift off the proper course when we do not return to the foundation from time to time. We may need to check to see it we are still over a foundation when we run into difficulties. In order to do this, we need to understand all the foundations.

One of those foundations is culture/religion, so two separate groups cannot be expected to get along in any one geographic region. Getting rid of religion and understanding the "social rules" can reduce conflict. So here is one: shoot your mouth off and take a chance on offending others, or reserve comments and perhaps avoid offense, that is the question. Always speak the truth seems the way to go, but then we say there is no evidence of any supernaturals, and we can give offense to the religious, if they realize their god is a supernatural. Oh well, in the end we all just die off anyway.
