    • Makes me want to read the book. The Church Without Christ. A modernist religion. No sin, no morality, reminds me of Determined
    • Ah here's the moral-nonrelativist stuff around :43
    • The discussion of chicken-fucking I found annoying. The answer to the moral quandary is in something like Kegan stage theory.
    • Nietzsche no-truth (?). Form and Emptiness. Emptiness as thing-in-itself (?). Buddhism sasys there is no truth and that there is one truth. The forms are worthy of care and protection.
    • JFM thinks original sin is obviously true. Seems weird to me. PF equates that to first noble truth, which ok, but they don't seem to be the same thing to me.
    • Universal sin leads to forgiveness. Twitter as the Asura realm. Not so much twitter but political culture war. Hm.
    • Haidt's Righteous Mind comes up.
