I see some anti-religion sentiment here. Religion can be and has been many things. To say all religion is evil, to me, misses a central point: mankind needs a Transcendent ideal, something beyond ourselves to give us meaning and purpose. Excise that, we have a vacuum in our souls which will be filled, one way or another. The atheistic, materialist surrogates are, however, arguably far worse. Nietzsche was a good diagnostician, but the idea that we would reach Humanity 2.0 by filling that void with our own self-constructed values was dead wrong. In a way, we can't run away from religion, and these "religions" (like Marxism) have a dreadful track record. I don't think it's too far a reach to say that religion is inevitable. The West secularized itself, in part because of a kind of collective PTSD. In doing so, it created a nihilistic, materialistic, listless populace. Anxiety and depression are through the roof. But even more telling is a simple fact: it seems more and more clear that materialist, secularized society loses the will to replicate itself. Birthrates are below replacement, sometimes way below (witness South Korea). So, someone can rail against religion, but cut out religion, a society will craft surrogates and also drift towards self-oblivion. It will commit suicide, implode. In other words, you can't have the elements that make a culture vibrant, which make a culture flourish, without religion (broadly understood). It's like a lobotomy. The idea might be to excise antisocial behavior, but you also render the person a dull vegetable, a husk.

​The brain needs proof that the new paradigm works. ​Small steps👟: Don’t try to change everything at once. Conduct a small “experiment” that proves the new way is possible. ​Celebrating Success🎊: A small success in the new approach weakens the grip of the old paradigm. ​Thought 🌦: Breaking a paradigm is a painful process because it shakes our sense of security. It takes intellectual courage to admit that what we believed in is no longer relevant

What made Armin.navabi change his views i remember watching his old videos realized he is infact anti nationalist and anti flag and anti patriotism he even said he doesn't feel pride in being Iranian anymore what shifted his views

Here is the recording of our latest session. Totalitarian regimes do not die in a blaze of glory. They die in a cold sweat. They die when the executioner realizes he is the one being hunted. In our latest daily session, the group analyzed the psychological disintegration of the Iranian regime. We moved past the headlines to the mechanics of terror. The conclusion was stark. The Islamic Republic is no longer projecting power. It is hiding from its own shadow. The room highlighted a terrifying shift in the dynamic of control. We discussed reports of intelligence agencies contacting IRGC commanders directly on their personal phones. The ultimatum is simple. "We know where you sleep. Defect or face the consequences." This is not traditional warfare. It is the systematic dismantling of a mafia state using its own tactics. Members noted that this specific brand of fear has paralyzed the leadership. Commanders are terrified to gather in groups. They are suspicious of their own electronics. One member pointed out the grim irony of a brutal general afraid to touch his own remote control. When the leadership is this rattled, the chain of command dissolves. There was friction in the room regarding the final blow. Some argued for patience to let the internal collapse run its course. Others argued that surgical strikes are necessary right now to break the stalemate. But the consensus was clear. The riot police are now the ones afraid of being identified. The hunter has become the prey. There is a difference between consuming news and analyzing intelligence. In this community, we do not spectate; we scrutinize every fracture in the geopolitical landscape. Access the kind of unfiltered, high-level discourse that others are too afraid to broadcast.
