I used to be strictly materialist and atheist. Now I’m pretty spiritual. Don’t necessarily follow a religion and don’t support bigotry but yeah, I’m fairly spiritual now. This is a recent development and I never thought I’d be here like 5 years ago.

Idk what to write here, i haven’t done so much “180s” but i have shifted a lot of beliefs pretty significantly.
Actually i think the things i’m proudest of are understanding that in the modern western society, a lot of categories are often used to describe things (such as “democrat”, “republican”) but when you really think about it, these concepts are kinda meaningless. they’re empty significands, i.e. they make you adhere to a group-think even though there’s not much of a content in these concepts.
the truly important concepts are entirely different ones, such as the four elements in the aristotelian worldview.
think about it: if you visit a random village in india that has been disconnected from modern civilization for centuries; these people do not think in terms of “democrat” or “republican”; because neither of these things are natural. they do not appear in nature. why do we classify our natural world with them?
