This schematic seems quite promising; I sincerely hope that ‘17 years’ is a gross overestimation of the time required for it to get further fleshed out.

I think everything is inherently sacred, in a way that doesn’t imply that nothing is, too. I also think disgust is part of the human telos and therefore cannot be what I would call ‘simply ignored’, as it seems the stance of kadag does.
I’m a christian, more specifically a young earth creationist and baptist w mostly Lutheran leanings. I’m also an avid reader of lesswrong. AFAIK I continue to believe in the bible due to it seeming most reconcilable w science, although I have doubts of a deist sort.

I mostly agree w https://answersingenesis.org/ on scientific matters.

This is so good!

This “book” is such a good read, I love the tables comparing and contrasting opposites and then adds a 3rd option that is outside the polar dichotomies, yet also simultaneously validates both of the polar dichotomies presented! A very insightful work to why different conflicting belief systems are able to coexist and also offers understandings to mediate the differences! Highly recommend! Keep up the good work!
