Jack London 6: Wolf and Lamb Ethics
Last updated on: November 24, 2022 at 7:54 am By Ted Peters
Novelist Jack London only hints that civilization needs wolf and lamb ethics. We would aim much too low to adopt evolutionary ethics in either the form of the Lone Wolf or the Wolf Pack. But to aim at a future that contradicts evolution's law of the survival-of-the-fittest would ask for more than what naturalism alone can deliver. Read more

Jack London 5: Wolf Pack Ethics
Last updated on: November 27, 2022 at 8:26 pm By Ted Peters
Jack London's ethical naturalism cultivates an evolution-based morality. But, such an ethical naturalist must choose between Lone Wolf Ethics, where nature is blood red in tooth and claw, and Wolf Pack Ethics, exhibiting reciprocal altruism that sharply distinguishes between the in-group and the out-group. Once the choice is made, it ceases to be naturalism. Read more

Jack London 4: Lone Wolf Ethics
Last updated on: November 24, 2022 at 7:56 am By Ted Peters
In this sub-series within the larger Jack London series we are asking: given that we human beings are natural, should we ground our moral striving solely on what is natural? If so, does the lone wolf blood “red in tooth and claw” provide the model for human moral behavior? Do we want a repeat of Social Darwinism, Eugenics, and Nazism? Read more

There are two Christian nationalist narratives, not one. The first is the "Decline Narrative" told by White American Christian Nationalists. The second is the "Unhappy Consciousness Narrative" told by White 'n' Woke Progressive Christians. In two posts we look at each. Read more

Did I lose my Mind to Science?
Last updated on: June 27, 2023 at 7:20 am By Ted Peters
Our conscious mind may be a delusion, if you listen to your friendly neurocentrist. But, consciousness is a hard-core commonsense intuition. Science should explain it, not explain it away. Read more

Religious Transhumanism 15. Lutheran?
Last updated on: July 1, 2023 at 10:33 am By Ted Peters
Is a distinctively Lutheran transhumanism likely? No, according to Noreen Herzfeld. Why? Because transhumanist assumptions and goals about dislodging the mind from its bodily substrate fails to appreciate how God appreciates our embodiment. Read more

Resentment with Compassion 6
Last updated on: April 30, 2024 at 2:01 pm By Ted Peters
To live the Christian life, we certainly need to pray that the Holy Spirit give us the gift of compassion. And, we need to ask the Holy Spirit for the insight to perceive injustice and the zeal to right the wrong. Might we also pray for wisdom? Wisdom to bypass the temptation to self-justification and the temptation to join in mob violence that comes with ressentiment? Read more
