True but not useful: parenting has significant ups and downs that are extremely unpredictable, so this may not be your lowest point yet!
This idea of belief being anti-intellectual - my thought is intellectualism is rooted in wanting to have truth. Belief can be hard like that because sometimes we believe in things that are not provable as true. I also think there’s something here about collectivism and belief, but too early to form that thought
Parenting is a super interesting area for this and that also makes complete sense to me. I am on the same thread as you with collectivism and belief! I don't know where to take it, but it needs investigating. If you think of any interesting angles let me know, I'm gonna work on building out a little reading list for myself on it.
Love to hear this! I am very interested in how couples manage diverging beliefs. I haven't been in the situation really, but have always been cautious about sharing some of the more precious "spiritual" areas of my interests. Funny when I also write a public blog about it, but it's hard to bring up on a first date at times!
I'll check out both of those books! Sounds like some overlap with a book I just finished reading called "Mysticism" by Simon Critchley. Highly recommend!
Lol so turns out missed 2/3 of Grimes's kids with Elon. Updated the post right after sending ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
