thought i sat with for a while: society is declining because we lost god realisation: we lost structure, and religion provides structure at scale without it: – most never replace the structure – drift in a void of infinite options and no direction – no rituals, no anchor, no eye above – end up worshipping lesser gods (consumerism, identity cults, politics) religion is a proxy for long-term thinking, a scaffold that makes: – sacrifice mean something – morality feel seen, even when no one is watching – chaos survivable religion is mass orchestration and most are just noise without a conductor

isn't that the same tho, we lost structure because we stopped asking the question about a higher power. left open to imaginary interpretations that are damaging to the psyche, or worse other organised beliefs that don't have our best interests at heart imo it's quite bullish that gen z have this interest, I'm doubtful it will result in zealous belief and will only bolster community it's like humanity is having a software update I think this shows in how unserious gen alpha is but not in the same nihilistic tone that millennials have

i hope it's bullish, but this feels more like a power grab ala handmaids tale. less about finding god and more about finding shelter from the chaos of the world in ritual and patriarchal community. gen z mostly gives yung boomer vibes. do hope im wrong tho

yeah i do see it leaning that way, but also think they're more aware than we give credit. this is just impartial observations tho I don't really know like there might be more people just becoming agnostic and not simply atheist but that route requires diving in to understand instead of the usual hitting rock-bottom looking for a solution it's important to note that basically all "rebel movements" were CIA funded. so if ppl are rebelling back to religion its just a standard of crazy we're used to cut the old crap from religion and its not so bad. they're the oldest blockchains and pre-date written history with more clues about early life than scientists seem to offer this might also be part of the return to God. it's return to a trusted consensus
