One thing I'm noticing about Artemis II:

Now that nobody died, the human voices that are manning the craft-to-Earth comms, are more human. More relaxed, and more like human minds, on a mission.

Every boring, mechanical, comm is now infused with an undertone of, "holy shit, this is happening". 😀

This is humanity. This is exciting.

#humanism

We're fighting a bigger war, in the smaller trenches of right and wrong.

There is no superior morality - not in your governments, not in your churches, not even in your family.

There is #humanism

We are one species, made up of human beings.

That's it.

I miss On Being the same way that I miss Radio Free Fedi, rare entities that I could turn to to improve my wellbeing. In life I sadly find very little that puts values first above profit; widespread spiritual poverty is the root cause of human problems, I believe.

On Being doesn't come out so regularly anymore. I'm grateful for this episode that I encountered today:

The most valuable attribution to AI and morale that I encountered yet (GER). I have to share that. There is a little hope in it.

A vent about my former faith.

I want to vent a bit about Christianity, a tree I nursed in my spirit for over 3 decades.

I was an evangelical. I grew up in the church. The church was my family. I was a genuine believer, not just surface level. Granted, I was socially awkward, shy, etc., some of those were components of an Autism I never identified.

I liked church. I helped out at a few of them. I read the whole bible. I was obedient. I embodied the spirit of the Bible and not just the requirements, I lived my life righteous and tried to love others. I believed in Jesus and was "saved". I stayed away from things that were deemed harmful.

📝 Plot: In 16th‑century Flanders under Spanish dominion, the alchemist‑physician Zénon returns clandestinely to Bruges after years abroad. His humanist ideas and medical practice challenge orthodoxy. As he gains followers and makes enemies within the Inquisition, he faces trial for heresy in a somber clash of belief, reason and intolerance.

Been hanging around this online community for a few months and I've liked the vibe. Great place for people who have left religion after #deconstruction, but open to all who have an interest in a #humanism based community.
