Based Camp - Did Christians Outbreed the Competition？ Scott Alexander & Rodney Stark's Rise of Christianity

00:00:00.000 Hello, Simone! Today we are going to be discussing a very interesting piece, Scott Alexander's review of the rise of Christianity.

00:00:10.700 And in it, he goes through how Christianity spread as fast as it did. 0.78

00:00:17.100 It is astounding how quickly Christianity was able to spread in its early days.

00:00:21.920 And it was not through the tactic that most people think, which is widespread conversions based on either miracles or just the logic of what was in the text.

00:00:35.780 Instead, it appears to have mostly been downstream of Christians having more children, having more surviving children, and having an ability to convert women at a much higher rate in the early days.

00:00:50.780 But the children childbirth appears to be the core of this.

00:00:54.640 Also, their plague surviving rates appear to have been quite different.

00:00:57.380 So we're going to go over each of these in turn.

00:01:20.780 No sweeping crowds or mass fanfare.

00:01:25.040 They built their homes with children glad.

00:01:29.540 More babes they bore than pagans had. 0.83

00:01:33.920 Well, Andy, even that Christianity seemed to have spread through the kindling of Judaism, which had already spread, which is also fascinating. 0.94

00:01:41.480 It's just such a cool overview.

00:01:42.780 Yeah, the challenge with any Scott Alexander piece is he writes in a way where typically when we're reading a piece, we are throwing out 90% of it.

00:01:52.660 This time we're keeping probably well over 80% of it with a number of factual and textual additions because there's a few minor errors he makes.

00:02:00.580 And there are a few areas where I just happen to, whatever reason, know additional information that helps flesh things out a lot.

00:02:07.020 Oh, that's fun, because what I love most about Scott Alexander's book reviews is you get a great summary of the book.

00:02:13.280 Then you get additional research and annotation from Scott Alexander.

00:02:16.520 And now I'm getting layer three from Malcolm.

00:02:19.720 This is like tiramisu now.

00:02:21.520 You know, first you start with a muffin and then you get a cupcake.

00:02:24.060 And now I'm getting, whoa, man, this is great.

00:02:27.780 Let's go into it.

00:02:29.320 All right, dive in.

00:02:30.500 Scott Alexander writes,

00:02:33.120 The rise of Christianity is a great puzzle. 0.69

00:02:35.700 In 40 AD, there were maybe a thousand Christians.

00:02:38.560 Their Messiah had just been executed and they were on the wrong side of an intercontinental empire that had crushed all previous foes. 0.68

00:02:45.700 By 400, there were 40 million and they were set to dominate the next millennium of Western history.

00:02:51.300 Imagine taking a time machine to the year 2300 AD and everyone is a Scientologist.

00:02:56.160 The United States is over 99% Scientologist.

00:03:00.180 So is Latin America and most of Europe.

00:03:02.060 The Middle East follows some heretical pseudo-Scientology that thinks L. Ron Hubbard was a great prophet, but maybe not the greatest prophet.

00:03:08.980 This can only begin to capture how surprised the early imperial Romans would be to learn of the triumph of Christianity.

00:03:16.420 At least Scientology has a lot of money and cutthroat recruitment arm.

00:03:20.780 At least they fight back when you persecute them.

00:03:23.400 Okay.

00:03:24.420 So I think that this is all really important to note because a lot of people do not realize how quickly Christianity basically came out of nowhere from a small persecuted group that was not seen as particularly different during Jesus' lifetime than other small roaming,

00:03:46.060 psalmatological performing rabbis.

00:03:48.560 So quick note here if you don't know what I'm talking about.

00:03:50.940 Psalmatological performances is a type of magical performance which is like a miracle working as a magic trick.

00:03:59.220 It was really common for random rabbis to roam around and perform these types of miracles.

00:04:05.100 You know, you have like the circle drawer.

00:04:06.920 You have the, I'll add a few in post here.

00:04:08.800 You have Hani Bandoza, who performed numerous miracles including making vinegar burn like oil for Shabbat candles when his daughter mistakenly used vinegar instead of oil.

00:04:18.200 He also extended the lengths of beams for a woman's house through blessing. 0.97

00:04:21.300 Additionally, he was known for controlling rain with his prayers.

00:04:24.180 He once prayed for rain to stop while he was traveling and it ceased immediately.

00:04:27.780 You have Hani the circle drawer.

00:04:29.160 He is famous for his miracle of praying for rain during a severe drought in Israel.

00:04:34.940 He drew a circle in the dust, stood inside it, and bowed not to leave until God sent rain.

00:04:39.320 Initially, only a light drizzle fell, prompting him to pray again for more substantial rain.

00:04:44.140 Ultimately, God answered his prayers with a heavy downpour.

00:04:46.560 Shimon Bar, he performed healing miracles and it was said that he could burn people with his gaze.

00:04:54.440 One notable miracle involved the emperor's daughter who was possessed and he was called to help her.

00:04:59.500 Additionally, during this time in a cave, he and his son were miraculously sustained by carob tree and a sprig of water.

00:05:07.460 After emerging from the cave, it was reported that everything looked at a world burnt to ashes, indicating his extraordinary spiritual power.

00:05:15.560 I say this because I think it actually undermines the amazing growth of the early Christian community to overstate how unique Jesus would have appeared to people of his time.

00:05:29.380 And I would note here, the point I am not making is that all of these other miracle workers actually performed their miracles,

00:05:35.140 but what I am saying is that it was widely believed that they had.

00:05:38.500 So if me, a random person around this time, had a group of people come to me and say,

00:05:42.920 Hey, there was this rabbinic miracle worker and here are some of the miracles he performed.

00:05:47.440 I'd be like, yeah, a guy told me about another one yesterday and a guy told me about a different one the day before.

00:05:52.520 Like, it wouldn't have been unique.

00:05:54.300 And people can be like, well, you know, he raised people from the dead.

00:05:57.180 That was totally unique.

00:05:58.840 And it's like, well, not really.

00:05:59.980 If you go to the Old Testament, for example, the widow of Zarephath's son raised by Elijah the prophet,

00:06:04.980 the Shunammite woman's son raised by Elijah's successor. 0.83

00:06:09.740 And then from the New Testament, you have Tabasa Dorcas raised by the apostle Peter.

00:06:14.100 You have Eutarchus raised by the apostle Paul.

00:06:17.580 So that, again, if you overemphasize, like if Jesus was just this amazing guy that nobody could possibly deny

00:06:26.500 and everyone who saw him was immediately like, yeah, I'm on board with this.

00:06:30.160 You've changed everything.

00:06:31.720 The story actually becomes a little less remarkable because it's like, oh, well, that's why it spread.

00:06:35.660 But when you realize that within the context of his time,

00:06:40.760 Jesus would not have been that different from many of the other people in the region who had followings,

00:06:46.560 it becomes absolutely amazing how quickly it grew.

00:06:50.100 And a miracle that is, in fact, I think a bigger miracle than many of the miracles that Jesus is reported to have carried out.

00:06:57.360 And a miracle that it is much harder for a secular person to deny.

00:07:00.580 But to give you an idea of how undifferentiated Jesus was from other walking, you know, random,

00:07:08.040 thematological performances, we have recorded in the Bible pretty miraculously 0.70

00:07:12.340 what a random traveling magician would think of Jesus in the story of Simon Magos.

00:07:17.800 Whereas Simon Magos sees Jesus, he is a sorcerer, a basically, I mean,

00:07:22.900 unless you think that there were random, like actual sorcerers in the area at the time,

00:07:26.680 he was a magician and he saw what Jesus was doing and he said, hey, can I buy that trick from you?

00:07:32.240 And Jesus got really mad about it, you know.

00:07:34.260 But the point being is that we know, we have the answer to the question.

00:07:38.200 If a random magician saw Jesus, what would he think?

00:07:40.800 He would think he was a magician.

00:07:43.680 To put it in other words, the types of thematological feats Jesus was performing

00:07:49.200 were not seen as uniquely spectacular or out of place

00:07:52.980 when contrasted with the type of feats performed by traveling magicians

00:07:56.840 of that time period in that region.

00:07:58.920 This is actually incredibly important from a theological perspective

00:08:01.120 because it removes any validation given to Jesus' claims by his miracle work

00:08:07.080 and the claims and the growth of the movement have to provide the validity themselves,

00:08:11.740 which I think is a higher form of validity than I believe it

00:08:14.920 because the guy performed miracles.

00:08:16.620 Also here, I would note, if you haven't read the infancy gospel of Thomas

00:08:21.280 or studied it, it's a non-canonical gospel where it's like,

00:08:25.360 well, what if you had all the magical powers of Jesus,

00:08:28.180 but you were a kid and didn't have a lot of self-control,

00:08:31.240 how might he have used them during that time period?

00:08:33.660 And it comes off a lot like this skit.

00:08:36.120 No, David Blaine, no.

00:08:37.400 No, no.

00:08:38.100 What'd you buy?

00:08:39.400 I bought a green sweater, if you want to know.

00:08:41.380 Okay, I bought a green sweater.

00:08:43.020 Interesting.

00:08:43.800 Are you sure you didn't buy a teddy bear?

00:08:45.060 Yes, I'm sure I didn't.

00:08:47.320 Teddy bear, what the F?

00:08:49.220 How did you...

00:08:49.720 How did he get it?

00:08:51.520 Where's my sweater?

00:08:53.480 David Blaine, David Blaine.

00:08:54.680 He bought a green sweater, okay?

00:08:56.100 You're being mean? 1.00

00:08:56.920 You're being stupid. 1.00

00:08:58.260 Where is it? 1.00

00:08:59.080 Look at your effing body right now, Peter. 0.99

00:09:01.680 What the F? 0.99

00:09:02.720 How did...

00:09:03.720 I was holding things.

00:09:05.120 Did you feel anything on you?

00:09:06.780 Thanks, you stretched it out probably.

00:09:08.380 Thank you.

00:09:08.820 Please, please stop it.

00:09:10.880 I don't want to wear it right now.

00:09:11.520 Please stop.

00:09:12.400 I don't even want to wear it yet.

00:09:13.460 Hey, what are you drinking?

00:09:15.420 I'm drinking orange soda.

00:09:16.720 Ooh, big one.

00:09:17.340 Hey, what else is orange?

00:09:19.260 What else is orange?

00:09:20.280 I don't know.

00:09:21.220 Cheese it?

00:09:25.520 Cheese it! 1.00

00:09:26.820 What the...

00:09:27.420 Cheese it! 1.00

00:09:28.140 Fuck! 1.00

00:09:28.680 What the... 1.00

00:09:29.120 What?

00:09:29.480 Cheese...

00:09:29.760 Where's my orange soda?

00:09:33.000 It's orange soda in my mouth.

00:09:34.500 What the F? 0.59

00:09:35.020 You put it in my mouth! 1.00

00:09:35.940 What the F? 0.98

00:09:36.780 How did you get it in my mouth? 1.00

00:09:38.100 Please stop, you demon! 1.00

00:09:39.560 And he... 0.99

00:09:41.200 So the...

00:09:41.920 Well, and he was...

00:09:42.660 There was a type.

00:09:43.460 It was...

00:09:43.840 It was...

00:09:44.500 He was a common...

00:09:45.780 The Great Courses series on the historical Jesus, aka Wunderham, describes Jesus as an apocalyptic

00:09:53.320 Jew in an age where there were lots of apocalyptic Jews just kind of walking around and preaching. 0.97

00:09:58.840 It might be akin to, like, seeing a life coach today.

00:10:02.000 Yeah, we know this because of, like, the Dead Sea Scrolls community, which was around the same time period a bit before, but was also a group of apocalyptic Jews. 0.66

00:10:10.520 I'm sorry.

00:10:10.880 Apocalyptic Jews means Jews who think the world is about to end. 0.99

00:10:15.260 Not end exactly, but enter the next phase of existence, and that they are coming to bring this.

00:10:22.000 And many of Christ's early followers believed that his second coming was going to happen within their lifetimes.

00:10:29.060 We can see this in the letters where, I think it's Paul writing to a group who's like, some of our members are dying before the Messiah comes.

00:10:37.980 Like, what are we supposed to do?

00:10:40.060 And he goes, oh, well, their bodies will be raised.

00:10:42.860 But the fact that they were worried about dying before the Messiah comes showed that they, like, rose from the dead again, shows that they saw that as an anathema, that as a weird thing.

00:10:53.380 That this was a common belief in the early church.

00:10:56.060 You can see in things like Paul's letter to the Thessalonians, where he says, quote,

00:11:00.180 For this we declare to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, by no means precede those who have died.

00:11:09.060 For the Lord himself, with a cry of command, with archangels call, and with the sounds of God's trumpets, will descend from heaven, and the dead in Christ will rise first.

00:11:19.240 Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up in the clouds together with them to meet with the Lord in the air.

00:11:26.280 Therefore, encourage one another with these words, end quote.

00:11:29.840 So you can see very clearly here, he says that we who are alive, he's talking about the people who are listening to him or reading this letter, are going to experience the second coming of Christ.

00:11:40.120 As to why he would think this, well, you just need to look at Christ's own words, Matthew 24, 30-31, Mark 13, 26-27, and Luke 21, 27-28, where Jesus states, quote,

00:11:53.640 Truly, I tell you, this generation, end quote, meaning his contemporaries, will not pass away until all these things have come to take place, end quote.

00:12:03.220 Matthew 24, 34, Mark 13, 30, Luke 21, 32.

00:12:07.760 I am here not trying to point out that the Bible is wrong or something.

00:12:11.460 I think that they misinterpreted these words. 0.94

00:12:14.160 That said, I don't think that they were stupid for misinterpreting these words. 0.90

00:12:17.760 And I'm just pointing out here that it was a common belief in the early church that Jesus was going to come back before within their generation, and they weren't stupid for having this belief. 0.73

00:12:27.200 And this becomes even more powerful when you look at the spread of Christianity because it makes even less sense. 0.95

00:12:33.720 It becomes even more miraculous when you see that early wrong beliefs in the early Christian church did not invalidate its rapid growth.

00:12:43.220 So you've got to think about what Jesus' group was, the followers of Jesus, who, keep in mind, we believe were actually true and correct and everything like that.

00:12:51.100 But I don't think that they were – I'm very different from your average modern Christian who thinks that, like, anyone who saw what Jesus was doing would immediately have known he was the Messiah.

00:13:00.640 I don't think that.

00:13:01.500 There's other times in the Bible when we see people raise people from the dead, everything like that.

00:13:04.800 I think that only a truly – because he just didn't have a big crowd when he died.

00:13:10.400 He didn't have a ton of followers when he died.

00:13:12.140 If you saw somebody perform these, like, absolutely undeniable feats of magic, and you're like, okay, this person is definitely the son of God, you're not going to turn your back on them just because the government is prosecuting them.

00:13:25.300 And then you can be like, oh, well, you know, it was Rome.

00:13:28.200 Like, what would people really go through for the Messiah against Rome?

00:13:31.480 And we're going to get to that in a second.

00:13:33.520 People were willing to be devoured by lions for Jesus.

00:13:36.840 People were willing to have horrible things happen to them under the Roman Empire for Jesus.

00:13:40.500 And yet the crowd that Jesus had built around him, who actually saw the things that he did during his life, were willing to rebuke him almost immediately the moment he came under fire of the empire.

00:13:54.020 So the point that I'm saying is that this was originally a very sort of small group, a group that was not particularly differentiated from other groups in the period.

00:14:05.620 And that's true differentiation came from it super fast gross.

00:14:09.480 And I also love the crazy L. Ron Hubbard thing when he's like, imagine not only are like 99% of America, North America, Scientologists, but the Middle East is like, well, you know, L. Ron Hubbard was wrong, but he was one of the greatest prophets in human history.

00:14:26.020 And you're like, what?

00:14:27.540 How did that happen in just 300 years?

00:14:29.920 Yeah.

00:14:30.100 Well, and again, Scientologists have it so much easier slash are doing so much better than early Christians, right? 1.00

00:14:37.040 They're not being fed to lions, for example.

00:14:39.800 They have lawyers that scare people. 0.97

00:14:43.560 It's very different.

00:14:45.220 So very interesting.

00:14:45.900 Yeah, my read is that when Jesus died, he may have had 50 followers.

00:14:50.640 Like really different.

00:14:52.040 Maybe more.

00:14:52.880 I mean, there were crowd issues, you know, when he came to certain cities.

00:14:57.740 I think Roman officials were a little concerned about him.

00:15:00.680 There were crowd issues, but here is my read on the 50 followers thing, okay?

00:15:04.520 If you had a traveling miracle worker and healer, of which we know there were many during that period, you would likely get crowd issues when they went to a random town or something like that.

00:15:14.580 That doesn't mean that they all followed him.

00:15:16.200 They may have wanted healing and they went to the last miracle worker for healing and they went to him for healing.

00:15:20.860 They may have liked that this guy was handing out bread and fish and wine in his events.

00:15:24.660 Yeah, I'm sure like if Greta Thunberg walked into Berlin or something, you know, she would form dangerous crowds as well. 1.00

00:15:30.460 People came to. 0.59

00:15:31.400 But the moment the government turned against him, the fact that he didn't have some big crowd like speak out or prevent this or even just go remove him from the freaking cross.

00:15:42.240 To me, that's always been pretty, he must not have had a really sizable community.

00:15:48.000 You're down here, right then.

00:15:49.040 I have been asked to read the following prepared statement.

00:15:51.240 I wish to hereby convey our sincere greetings on this occasion of your martyrdom.

00:15:56.280 What?

00:15:57.520 Yeah, unless the word is, well, the rules are the rules.

00:16:00.120 I don't know what to tell you.

00:16:01.860 Yeah, it's like, hey, Jesus, I see that you're on the cross.

00:16:04.760 I know, like, we could probably bid a group and get you down, but.

00:16:08.640 I don't want to risk it.

00:16:10.080 We're outnumbered, yeah.

00:16:11.120 He did knock over a few tables, so.

00:16:15.240 And I'd just like to add my own admiration for what you're doing and what must be, after all, for you, a very difficult time. 1.00

00:16:25.620 You bastards! 1.00

00:16:27.680 He continues. 1.00

00:16:29.120 Previous authorities assumed Christianity spread through giant mass conversions, maybe fueled by miracles.

00:16:34.920 Partly they thought this because the biblical book of Acts describes some of these, but partly they thought it because, how else do you go from 1,000 people to 40 million people in less than 400 years?

00:16:46.300 Stark answers.

00:16:47.340 Steady, exponential growth.

00:16:48.960 Suppose you start with 1,000 Christians in 40 A.D.

00:16:52.580 It's hard to number the first few centuries worth of early Christians.

00:16:55.880 They're too small to leave much evidence.

00:16:58.300 But by 300 A.D., before Constantine, they were a sizable enough faction of the empire that some historians have tentatively suggested a 10% population share.

00:17:08.980 That would be about 6 million people from 1,000 to 6 million in 260 years implies a 40% growth rate per decade.

00:17:18.040 Stark finds this plausible because it's the same growth rate as the Mormons, 1880 to 1980.

00:17:23.320 If you look at the Mormons' entire history since 1830, they actually grew a little faster than the early Christians. 0.79

00:17:28.500 That is, I think, absolutely a fascinating point.

00:17:33.000 That is, because it shows it, like, it could be, it could very well be.

00:17:36.520 I mean, their growth rate still isn't great right now, but if Mormons manage to pass through, as you put it, the trial of the Lotus Eaters, they could be the next main faction of Christians. 0.99

00:17:46.740 Yeah, actually, and that they're growing faster than the early Christians. 0.51

00:17:49.720 And keep in mind, we say that, like, when I'm looking at, like, why do I believe Christ had a divinely inspired message, it is because of the efficaciousness of his message and the speed of growth of his message.

00:18:02.280 And a lot of people, I think, are surprised that we consider the Mormons as one of the true faiths.

00:18:09.520 We believe there's multiple, sort of, like, in a four-dimensional space.

00:18:12.380 Like, you can't try to reconcile them on this earth, but in some way, if you had a broader understanding, you could reconcile them, and we consider Mormons as one of them.

00:18:21.320 And a lot of people are very surprised at that, given how small a community they are right now.

00:18:25.100 But given that we're very forwards-looking, it makes a lot of sense that we would do that if you look at their growth rate and other similarities that he's going to point out to the Mormons today of the early Christian community.

00:18:37.340 But I also find it interesting that this, as we wrote in the Pragmatist Guide to Crafting Religion, can mostly be explained by higher fertility rates and not by conversions.

00:18:46.240 Conversions are, in a historic context, fairly rare.

00:18:49.860 Yeah. Yeah.

00:18:51.420 Each brand new life, a living call

00:18:55.980 That soon outgrew the pagan throne 0.66

00:19:00.160 No grand crusade in streets of stone

00:19:04.420 No golden flags or trumpets blown

00:19:08.620 Yet countless children won the fight

00:19:13.020 And pagan ways soon lost their might 0.89

00:19:17.060 They didn't conquer hearts by force

00:19:21.640 Or cast the shrines in sudden cores

00:19:25.580 They simply grew in number C

00:19:29.640 The cradle was their victory 0.99

00:19:35.900 Instead of being forced to attribute the Christians' growth to miracles, we can pin down a specific growth rate and find that it falls within the range of the most successful modern cults.

00:19:44.540 Indeed, if we look at this as each existing Christian having to convert 0.4 new people on average per decade, it starts to sound downright doable. 1.00

00:19:55.060 Still, how did the early Christians maintain this conversion rate over so many generations?

00:20:01.060 Through the social graph!

00:20:03.060 This is another of Stark's findings from his work with the Moonies 0.55

00:20:07.840 That's so interesting

00:20:08.780 The first Moonie in America was a Korean missionary named Jung Eun Kim, who arrived in 1959 0.97

00:20:15.240 Her first convert was her landlady 0.86

00:20:17.460 The next two were the landlady's friends

00:20:19.620 Then came the landlady's friends

00:20:21.640 Husbands, and the landlady's friends' husbands' co-workers

00:20:24.500 That was when Stark showed up

00:20:26.300 Quote, at the time I arrived, dot dot dot, to study them, the group had never succeeded in attracting a stranger, end quote

00:20:33.520 Stark theorized that, quote, the only people who joined were those whose interpersonal attachments to members overbalanced their attachments to non-members, end quote

00:20:43.260 I don't think this can be literally correct

00:20:46.380 Taken seriously, it implies that the second convert would have no other friends except the first, which would prevent her from spreading the religion further

00:20:53.560 But something like, quote, your odds of converting are your number of Moonie friends divided by your number of non-Moonie friends, end quote

00:21:00.840 Seems to fit his evidence

00:21:02.200 History confirms this story

00:21:04.340 Muhammad's first convert was his wife, followed by his cousin, servant, and friend

00:21:08.600 Joseph Smith's first converts were his brothers, friends, and lodgers 0.99

00:21:12.380 Indeed, in spite of the Mormons' celebrated door-knocking campaign 0.99

00:21:16.100 Their internal data shows that only one in a thousand door-knocks results in a conversion

00:21:21.420 But, quote, when missionaries make their first contact with a person in the home of a Mormon friend or relative of that person

00:21:28.380 This results in conversion 50% of the time, end quote

00:21:31.700 People sometimes accuse

00:21:33.160 So, hold on, before we go further here

00:21:34.780 I will note, we actually did further data on this in the Pragmatist Guide to Crafting Religion

00:21:38.920 I'd say that it's much lower than one in a thousand results in a convert

00:21:42.380 The way that they mark conversion is pretty shady

00:21:46.560 They're like, do they

00:21:47.640 And keep in mind, when you're in other countries

00:21:49.780 Sometimes people will convert to, like, use the Mormon facilities

00:21:52.260 Because they basically got, like, YMCA setups in other countries

00:21:55.200 Where it's like, oh, I want to play soccer at the Mormon facility 1.00

00:21:57.320 I just say I'm a convert

00:21:58.300 But if you actually look at the increase in tithing members

00:22:01.660 It is completely trivial

00:22:03.720 That Mormons are not converting large populations 0.61

00:22:06.160 At least not anymore

00:22:07.420 Or maybe they were historically

00:22:08.960 But it seems to me now

00:22:10.700 That the reason for this particular Mormon ritual

00:22:14.300 Is that it makes it very hard for an individual who has gone through it to deconvert

00:22:18.640 Because they have sort of this sunk cost fallacy

00:22:22.940 Along with sort of disassociation

00:22:26.140 Where, not disassociation

00:22:29.100 When you, when something doesn't align with what you believe about the world

00:22:34.260 Like, if you have to go and try to convince somebody

00:22:37.120 Dissonance

00:22:37.800 Dissonance, cognitive dissonance

00:22:39.120 Yeah, if you have to go and try to convince a bunch of random strangers about something

00:22:42.440 You've pretty much made up your mind about that

00:22:44.600 Like, if you get through your mission trip

00:22:46.660 And you're still a Mormon at the end of it 0.99

00:22:48.360 You're likely going to stay a Mormon throughout your entire life 1.00

00:22:50.960 Almost all of the Mormon deconvert stories I hear 0.94

00:22:54.320 They started deconverting during their mission trip or before

00:22:57.220 Yeah

00:22:57.680 So it's more about actually maintaining the existing members

00:23:00.680 And reaffirming their dedication to the faith

00:23:03.000 Than it is about getting converts

00:23:04.560 That is not me saying that mission trips are pointless

00:23:06.300 This is me saying that mission trips actually serve a different function

00:23:09.640 It kind of weeds out the religiously weak 1.00

00:23:11.840 Yes

00:23:13.140 Non-committed, yeah

00:23:14.240 But it also helps increase the status of individuals

00:23:17.880 Who are willing to put in more for their religion

00:23:19.680 To the point where almost everyone goes on a mission trip

00:23:21.640 Like, you have sort of a

00:23:23.800 What can I say?

00:23:24.620 Like a faithfulness inflation problem within Mormonism

00:23:27.320 Where you have increasing things like that

00:23:30.080 That you need to do to be a successful candidate on the market for a spouse

00:23:33.220 Because many wives won't seriously consider you 0.97

00:23:35.980 If you haven't been on a mission trip

00:23:37.100 Which I find really fascinating

00:23:39.180 Now, there are numbers about how easy it is to convert a Mormon

00:23:42.940 Who has like one Mormon friend 1.00

00:23:44.300 That that works 50% of the time

00:23:46.020 That also seems laughable

00:23:47.140 There's no way

00:23:48.280 There's no way that if a Mormon relative 0.99

00:23:51.300 Or

00:23:51.940 They're going to convert 50% of the time a Mormon talks to them 1.00

00:23:56.240 They must mean like of all Mormons talk to them

00:23:59.660 Or all Mormons hound them 1.00

00:24:00.860 Mormonism would just be spreading way more fastly 0.87

00:24:03.440 If that was happening

00:24:04.120 Yeah, maybe something's off there

00:24:07.720 But I do think that being embedded in Mormon culture is infectious 1.00

00:24:12.860 Like if my family weren't somehow resistant to cults

00:24:17.560 I'm sure I would be Mormon

00:24:18.500 Because they're so great

00:24:19.660 But we are

00:24:20.580 Sorry, you mean resistant to cults

00:24:22.320 And that her family likes going to

00:24:24.220 One of my favorite quotes from her dad

00:24:25.920 And I was like

00:24:26.760 You know this is a cult

00:24:27.940 Like, why are you going to it?

00:24:30.000 Like, this could be like really dangerous to you

00:24:31.960 And he goes

00:24:32.480 Oh, don't worry about me joining a cult

00:24:34.940 I've joined tons over the course of my life

00:24:37.060 And I was like

00:24:37.640 That doesn't make me feel better

00:24:39.360 Because they're not resistant to cults

00:24:41.800 They dip into cults

00:24:42.860 And dip out of cults

00:24:44.360 No, we just know

00:24:45.340 But we never join

00:24:46.260 Like, that's our problem

00:24:48.180 Yeah, he never officially joined

00:24:49.580 Yeah

00:24:49.840 Anyway

00:24:50.160 Continue

00:24:50.900 This next part is actually a footnote

00:24:53.140 That he had here

00:24:53.780 But I thought it was pretty relevant

00:24:54.720 People sometimes accuse modern social movements

00:24:58.040 Like environmentalism

00:24:59.180 MAGA

00:24:59.640 Wokeness

00:25:00.260 Rationalism

00:25:00.960 Etc.

00:25:01.500 Of being cults

00:25:02.400 But as far as I know

00:25:03.380 This rule doesn't apply to them

00:25:04.840 Most people in these movements

00:25:06.500 Get involved by stumbling across a philosophy online

00:25:09.140 And finding that it rings true 0.88

00:25:10.500 It seems to me like these modern movements

00:25:12.720 Are more likely to make unique

00:25:14.680 And interesting claims about the world

00:25:16.320 That could attract or repel certain types of people

00:25:19.080 Whereas most cults are pretty similar

00:25:21.420 This one guy is God

00:25:23.300 He commands you to chant a bunch

00:25:27.200 And give him money

00:25:28.340 But there's a holy book saying

00:25:29.980 We want world peace

00:25:31.820 I wonder if this should actually be a counter

00:25:34.600 To cultishness accusations

00:25:36.760 Quote, we can't be a cult

00:25:38.380 Cults always spread through the social graph

00:25:40.360 But we learned about this movement from a blog

00:25:42.600 Unquote

00:25:43.100 Okay, so first of all

00:25:45.020 That is not how EA spreads anymore

00:25:47.220 Oh yeah

00:25:47.800 EA mostly spreads through like honeypots

00:25:50.560 And stuff like that

00:25:51.460 From what I think

00:25:52.080 It's like

00:25:53.280 Oh, don't you want to go to this 0.94

00:25:54.460 Like sex party or something 0.98

00:25:55.940 That's how like 0.82

00:25:56.940 I

00:25:58.180 Like when I first heard about EA

00:26:00.420 I actually remember

00:26:01.080 It was less wrong

00:26:02.100 The first time I heard about it

00:26:03.220 And he's like

00:26:04.080 Well, I'm inviting you to this party

00:26:05.960 At like Scorpion Tarantula House

00:26:08.220 Or something like that

00:26:09.180 It was called

00:26:09.700 You should probably read some like

00:26:11.380 Less wrong posts on this blog

00:26:12.880 Before you come

00:26:13.620 So you have a broad idea

00:26:14.660 Of what's going on

00:26:15.500 Oh, that sounds very cultish

00:26:16.920 Oh no

00:26:17.480 Yeah

00:26:17.940 Oh, and you know

00:26:18.440 You know who was running the house?

00:26:20.020 No

00:26:20.420 Divya

00:26:21.400 No way

00:26:23.260 Yeah

00:26:24.120 Wow

00:26:24.760 So I was

00:26:26.600 I was going to

00:26:28.060 You know

00:26:28.620 One of these parties

00:26:29.680 And it was

00:26:31.520 Very clear

00:26:33.000 That like

00:26:33.980 A lot of people went

00:26:35.800 Because there were more

00:26:37.160 Women at these events 0.99

00:26:38.680 Than other Silicon Valley events

00:26:40.280 Oh, well

00:26:40.600 It's very hard to find

00:26:41.720 With more women at them 0.99

00:26:43.080 In Silicon Valley

00:26:43.800 So that is

00:26:44.460 EA and Less Wrongism

00:26:46.280 Mostly spread

00:26:47.360 Through Silicon Valley

00:26:48.280 Group houses first 0.99

00:26:49.400 Which had a really

00:26:50.800 Tight knit

00:26:51.520 Social graph

00:26:52.440 For spreading

00:26:53.140 So one

00:26:54.000 I'm going to say

00:26:54.380 I don't know

00:26:54.960 If he's completely

00:26:55.700 Wrong about this

00:26:56.540 But I'd also note

00:26:57.360 Something that I think

00:26:58.000 That he's missing

00:26:58.660 In all of this

00:26:59.380 Christianity

00:27:00.300 Mormonism

00:27:02.380 A lot of the

00:27:03.400 Major world religions

00:27:04.440 Actually did not spread

00:27:07.740 Because of their

00:27:09.080 Founding member

00:27:10.180 You typically had

00:27:12.200 A founding member

00:27:13.680 Whether it's

00:27:14.300 Christianity or Mormonism 0.93

00:27:15.360 Who

00:27:15.680 Or even Confucianism

00:27:16.940 Right?

00:27:17.240 I mean, it wasn't him

00:27:17.960 In the end

00:27:18.480 Yeah, who started

00:27:19.520 What was a

00:27:20.520 Fairly small movement

00:27:22.460 That was seen

00:27:23.420 As extreme

00:27:24.260 Plato, Socrates

00:27:25.840 Yeah, actually

00:27:26.540 This really

00:27:27.140 Yeah

00:27:27.540 Maybe a little weird

00:27:28.600 By the society

00:27:29.360 Around them

00:27:30.000 And then you have

00:27:30.940 Your Brigham Young

00:27:32.400 Type figure

00:27:34.020 In Christianity

00:27:34.740 This would be

00:27:35.440 Paul the Apostle

00:27:36.420 Who really

00:27:37.100 Actually did

00:27:38.540 The mass conversions 0.98

00:27:39.820 In the early days

00:27:41.540 And set up

00:27:42.480 Something that could

00:27:43.380 Eventually become

00:27:44.300 A mainstream religion

00:27:45.340 But I think this is

00:27:46.400 Why Scientology

00:27:47.180 Isn't going to become

00:27:47.780 A mainstream religion

00:27:48.620 Because

00:27:49.260 The person who

00:27:51.400 It passed the

00:27:52.200 Baton onto

00:27:52.920 Has been pretty much

00:27:54.300 Entirely

00:27:55.120 Let's say

00:27:55.980 Exploitative

00:27:56.980 Like just

00:27:57.780 Tried to milk

00:27:58.760 His position

00:27:59.480 For all it's worth

00:28:00.480 And not really

00:28:01.640 Try to

00:28:02.600 Set up

00:28:04.080 An intergenerational

00:28:05.960 Tradition

00:28:06.780 So it's

00:28:07.680 Yeah

00:28:07.840 It's the second

00:28:08.720 It's the second

00:28:09.620 Person to take

00:28:10.540 The baton

00:28:11.100 Who needs to set up

00:28:12.260 That 40% 1.00

00:28:13.340 Annual conversion rate

00:28:15.240 And it seems

00:28:16.200 As though Scientology

00:28:17.100 Has not managed that

00:28:18.560 Yeah

00:28:19.600 So like if the

00:28:20.260 Techno-Puritan tradition

00:28:21.340 Ends up working out

00:28:22.200 Which by the way

00:28:22.820 Now is a legal religion 0.52

00:28:24.000 In the United States

00:28:24.820 We got us

00:28:25.320 Registered with the Fed

00:28:26.380 We have converts

00:28:27.780 Now as well

00:28:28.440 With the IRS

00:28:29.000 Sorry the IRS

00:28:31.180 We have converts

00:28:32.640 Now which is fun

00:28:33.660 As well

00:28:34.100 In the EA community

00:28:35.020 Of course

00:28:35.440 And that is

00:28:37.180 Really exciting to me

00:28:38.020 Because if

00:28:39.360 We can spread

00:28:40.420 I think within

00:28:41.120 The EA community

00:28:41.960 Is like where

00:28:42.460 We're going to

00:28:43.120 Spread the most

00:28:43.840 Similar to like

00:28:44.780 How the Jews

00:28:45.320 Went out and got

00:28:46.040 People ready

00:28:46.580 And then the

00:28:47.100 Which you'll hear

00:28:48.540 Here

00:28:48.860 And then the

00:28:49.280 Christians

00:28:49.620 Did a job

00:28:51.260 Sort of hitting it

00:28:52.000 Home and converting it

00:28:52.860 But I found this

00:28:54.080 To be a very

00:28:54.620 Interesting point

00:28:55.540 That I think

00:28:56.060 Can be elucidated

00:28:56.940 With the idea

00:28:57.700 That typically

00:28:58.800 You have

00:28:59.480 A founder

00:29:00.100 Of a religion 0.97

00:29:00.700 And then you

00:29:01.100 Have the person

00:29:01.540 Who really

00:29:02.200 Solidifies it

00:29:03.820 And begins

00:29:04.360 The mass conversions 0.98

00:29:05.320 Hmm

00:29:06.320 All right

00:29:09.820 Continue

00:29:10.160 All right

00:29:11.720 This theory

00:29:13.140 Of social

00:29:13.620 Graph-based

00:29:14.200 Conversion

00:29:14.700 Was controversial

00:29:15.900 When Stark

00:29:16.560 Proposed it

00:29:17.260 Because if you

00:29:17.860 Ask cultists

00:29:18.660 Retrospectively

00:29:19.720 They'll usually

00:29:20.540 Say they were

00:29:21.540 Awed by the

00:29:22.280 Beauty of the

00:29:22.960 Sacred teachings

00:29:23.840 But Stark

00:29:24.600 Says 0.93

00:29:25.020 Quote

00:29:25.820 I knew better

00:29:27.100 Because we

00:29:27.780 Had met them

00:29:28.380 Well before

00:29:28.920 They had learned

00:29:29.580 To appreciate

00:29:30.160 The doctrines

00:29:30.860 Before they

00:29:31.600 Had learned

00:29:32.040 How to testify

00:29:32.780 To their faith

00:29:33.520 Back when they

00:29:34.320 Were not seeking

00:29:35.020 Faith at all

00:29:35.740 Indeed

00:29:36.420 We could remember

00:29:37.320 When most of

00:29:38.260 Them regarded

00:29:39.020 The religious

00:29:39.660 Beliefs of their 0.92

00:29:40.480 New set of

00:29:41.120 Friends

00:29:41.320 As quite odd

00:29:42.040 I recall one

00:29:43.040 Who told me

00:29:43.520 That he was

00:29:44.100 Puzzled that

00:29:44.780 Such nice

00:29:45.240 People could

00:29:45.900 Get so worked

00:29:46.540 Up about

00:29:47.000 Some guy

00:29:48.020 In Korea

00:29:48.700 Then one day

00:29:49.860 He got worked

00:29:50.520 Up about

00:29:50.960 This guy too

00:29:51.680 That's wild

00:29:54.100 But I like

00:29:54.900 This I mean

00:29:55.340 I think it

00:29:55.700 Shows that

00:29:56.600 This thing

00:29:57.660 Where you're

00:29:58.200 Like I

00:29:58.840 Just converted

00:29:59.920 Because I

00:30:02.280 Saw the light

00:30:03.160 That's not

00:30:03.520 Really the way

00:30:04.040 It works

00:30:04.460 It's like

00:30:04.780 You're in a

00:30:05.280 Community and

00:30:06.020 The community

00:30:06.500 Talks about it

00:30:07.460 And then that

00:30:08.080 Ends up converting

00:30:08.860 You over time

00:30:09.620 Yeah you join

00:30:10.300 For the lifestyle

00:30:10.940 And then you

00:30:11.440 Start drinking

00:30:11.960 The kool-aid

00:30:12.560 And you see

00:30:13.140 This even

00:30:13.640 With brands

00:30:14.440 Maybe you

00:30:15.040 Get an iphone

00:30:15.820 And then five

00:30:16.720 Years later

00:30:17.320 You're obsessed

00:30:18.760 You buy a ton

00:30:19.640 Of apple stock

00:30:20.440 And this

00:30:20.820 Happens a lot

00:30:21.340 With I think

00:30:21.960 With tesla

00:30:23.180 Related stuff

00:30:24.060 Then suddenly

00:30:24.700 You have starlink

00:30:25.440 Then suddenly

00:30:25.940 You know

00:30:26.240 It just

00:30:26.560 It goes

00:30:27.160 There are

00:30:27.720 These

00:30:27.960 These

00:30:29.400 Deepenings

00:30:30.480 Of affiliation

00:30:31.780 And faith

00:30:32.300 That people

00:30:32.740 Fall into

00:30:33.260 Not just

00:30:33.980 With regard

00:30:34.400 To religion

00:30:34.880 But with regards

00:30:35.660 To brands

00:30:36.200 And other

00:30:36.620 Things as well

00:30:37.260 Social communities

00:30:38.240 Too

00:30:38.540 You know

00:30:38.940 Being goth

00:30:39.540 Whatever

00:30:39.840 Right

00:30:40.260 Okay

00:30:41.680 So

00:30:43.500 Scott Alexander

00:30:44.180 Continues from here

00:30:45.120 Jews were scattered

00:30:46.580 Across the mediterranean

00:30:47.720 Even before the

00:30:48.740 Fall of the temple

00:30:49.500 I don't know why

00:30:50.440 We Jews tell

00:30:51.280 Ourselves that

00:30:51.960 We left Israel 0.56

00:30:52.700 Only after the

00:30:53.520 Romans kicked us 1.00

00:30:54.200 Out

00:30:54.400 But stark

00:30:54.920 Cites plenty

00:30:55.560 Of historians

00:30:56.140 Who argue

00:30:56.620 That no

00:30:57.240 It was well

00:30:58.060 Before that

00:30:58.700 Around the time

00:30:59.660 Of christ

00:31:00.000 There were a

00:31:00.400 Million jews 0.78

00:31:00.960 In israel

00:31:01.400 And five million

00:31:02.480 In the diaspora

00:31:03.460 Especially

00:31:04.380 Alexandria

00:31:05.200 Antioch

00:31:05.920 Anatolia

00:31:06.580 And rome

00:31:07.060 What were

00:31:07.860 These jews 0.99

00:31:08.380 Spiritual views

00:31:09.240 Like

00:31:09.560 Without hard

00:31:10.480 Evidence

00:31:10.820 Stark

00:31:11.140 Supposes

00:31:11.720 They were

00:31:12.100 Marginal

00:31:12.680 Throughout history

00:31:13.560 Jews have 0.99

00:31:14.000 Succeeded at

00:31:14.620 Keeping the

00:31:15.420 Law

00:31:15.700 Only within

00:31:16.380 Tight-knit

00:31:16.940 Communities

00:31:17.480 If you want

00:31:18.280 To keep

00:31:18.580 Kosher

00:31:19.080 It helps

00:31:19.840 To have

00:31:20.220 Everyone around

00:31:20.900 You keeping

00:31:21.280 Kosher

00:31:21.760 And a local

00:31:22.520 Kosher butcher

00:31:23.340 If you want

00:31:24.280 To keep

00:31:24.560 The sabbath

00:31:25.120 It helps

00:31:25.560 To have

00:31:25.960 An

00:31:26.160 Erev

00:31:26.620 And a

00:31:27.280 Synagogue 1.00

00:31:27.720 Within walking

00:31:28.340 Distance

00:31:28.840 But even

00:31:29.900 More than

00:31:30.360 That

00:31:30.660 The law

00:31:31.260 Is strange

00:31:31.800 And complicated

00:31:32.540 And unless

00:31:33.300 Everyone around

00:31:34.380 You follows

00:31:34.900 It too

00:31:35.300 You are

00:31:35.680 Likely to

00:31:36.240 Slip

00:31:36.560 Thus

00:31:37.380 When jews 0.99

00:31:37.980 Were first

00:31:38.560 Emancipated

00:31:39.220 And allowed

00:31:39.680 To live

00:31:39.980 Among

00:31:40.220 Gentiles

00:31:40.820 In the

00:31:41.100 Eighteenth

00:31:41.540 And nineteenth

00:31:42.120 Centuries

00:31:42.740 A split

00:31:43.660 Emerged

00:31:44.140 In the

00:31:44.580 Jewish

00:31:44.920 Community

00:31:45.480 Those jews 1.00

00:31:46.440 Who stayed

00:31:46.840 In the

00:31:47.100 Gettos

00:31:47.400 And

00:31:47.560 Shettles

00:31:48.260 Or who

00:31:49.180 Founded

00:31:49.780 New

00:31:50.020 Self-imposed

00:31:50.900 Quasi-

00:31:51.780 Gettos

00:31:52.260 Like crown

00:31:52.760 Heights

00:31:53.240 Remained

00:31:53.940 Orthodox

00:31:54.600 Those jews 1.00

00:31:55.580 Who mingled

00:31:56.140 With the

00:31:56.440 Gentiles

00:31:56.840 And cast

00:31:57.300 Off the

00:31:57.740 More difficult

00:31:58.360 Rules

00:31:58.860 Became

00:31:59.720 Reform

00:32:00.360 Only a

00:32:01.620 Sliver

00:32:01.900 Of modern

00:32:02.400 Orthodox

00:32:02.940 Remained

00:32:03.320 In the

00:32:03.560 Middle 0.95

00:32:03.800 Often

00:32:04.460 With abysmal

00:32:05.520 Attrition

00:32:05.980 Rates

00:32:06.380 This I

00:32:08.280 Think is

00:32:08.620 A very

00:32:09.120 Good point

00:32:10.260 About this

00:32:10.940 Form of

00:32:11.760 Religion

00:32:12.200 Which is

00:32:13.160 Typically why

00:32:14.000 We design

00:32:14.560 Technopuritanism

00:32:15.500 To be a

00:32:16.120 Clan-based

00:32:16.700 Religion

00:32:17.100 Instead of

00:32:17.900 This form

00:32:18.300 Of religion 0.86

00:32:18.740 Which is

00:32:20.060 To say

00:32:20.300 Something that

00:32:20.900 Is practiced

00:32:21.380 Internally

00:32:22.080 Was in

00:32:22.560 Families

00:32:23.200 With a

00:32:23.980 Large

00:32:24.360 Degree

00:32:24.700 Of variation

00:32:25.360 So that

00:32:26.540 Your family

00:32:27.300 Is the

00:32:27.760 Core unit

00:32:28.240 Of your

00:32:28.520 Tradition

00:32:28.980 And not

00:32:29.700 Your church

00:32:30.560 Not your

00:32:31.400 Synagogue 1.00

00:32:32.160 Not your

00:32:32.900 Community

00:32:33.460 While that

00:32:34.440 Leads to

00:32:35.200 Lower amounts

00:32:36.240 Of conversions 0.95

00:32:37.220 It leads

00:32:38.300 To a

00:32:39.460 Higher

00:32:39.820 Fertility rate 0.99

00:32:41.220 As you can

00:32:41.940 See with

00:32:42.260 Clan-based

00:32:42.700 Versus non-Clan-based

00:32:43.600 Traditions

00:32:44.120 And it

00:32:45.440 Allows for

00:32:46.080 More ideological

00:32:47.000 Diversity

00:32:47.660 Within the

00:32:48.320 Movement

00:32:48.580 Which makes

00:32:49.180 It more

00:32:49.780 Rich in

00:32:50.740 Terms of

00:32:51.300 Conversations

00:32:52.000 And stuff

00:32:52.420 Like that

00:32:52.840 Well I

00:32:53.480 Think this

00:32:53.720 Also exemplifies

00:32:54.580 How hard

00:32:55.240 It is

00:32:55.540 To maintain

00:32:56.120 A hard

00:32:56.580 Culture

00:32:57.080 When hard

00:32:58.640 Culture

00:32:59.140 Requires a

00:33:00.200 Ton of

00:33:00.660 Amenities

00:33:01.180 And not

00:33:02.720 Family

00:33:03.200 Based

00:33:03.800 Systems

00:33:05.720 So you

00:33:07.220 Can't be a

00:33:08.360 Hard

00:33:08.600 Culture Jew 0.98

00:33:09.380 And just

00:33:09.960 Move to

00:33:11.060 Some random

00:33:11.700 City in

00:33:13.000 Switzerland

00:33:14.320 You know it

00:33:15.000 Has to be

00:33:15.860 It has to

00:33:17.020 Meet all these

00:33:17.440 Requirements

00:33:18.000 And that

00:33:18.340 Makes it

00:33:18.760 Very tough

00:33:19.320 To maintain

00:33:19.680 A hard

00:33:19.940 Culture

00:33:20.240 But also

00:33:20.780 Deal with

00:33:21.360 A rapidly

00:33:21.840 Evolving and

00:33:22.500 Adapting world

00:33:23.320 Job market

00:33:24.020 Etc

00:33:24.560 Absolutely

00:33:25.740 Technopuritanism

00:33:26.980 Is at

00:33:27.480 Its core

00:33:28.080 A frontier

00:33:28.740 Religion

00:33:29.220 Yeah that's

00:33:31.700 Interesting

00:33:32.040 There are

00:33:32.360 Frontier

00:33:32.720 Religions 0.64

00:33:33.180 And there

00:33:33.520 Are

00:33:33.660 Civilization

00:33:34.400 Religions 0.64

00:33:34.900 And I'm

00:33:35.400 Sure part

00:33:35.980 Of the

00:33:36.980 The

00:33:38.580 The

00:33:38.860 Cumbersome

00:33:39.940 Requirements

00:33:40.560 Of maintaining

00:33:41.060 Jewish law

00:33:41.780 Are a feature

00:33:42.860 Not a bug

00:33:43.560 In that

00:33:44.040 It's easier

00:33:45.040 To maintain

00:33:45.720 It forces

00:33:46.020 Them into

00:33:46.560 Urban centers

00:33:47.340 And you'll

00:33:47.780 See why

00:33:48.220 That's a

00:33:48.480 Huge

00:33:48.660 It also

00:33:49.760 Forces them

00:33:50.540 To stick

00:33:51.000 Together

00:33:51.840 Rather than

00:33:52.920 Spread out

00:33:53.900 Into the

00:33:54.380 Diaspora

00:33:54.940 Because

00:33:55.980 They'll

00:33:57.080 Sort of

00:33:57.380 Fall off

00:33:58.120 And not

00:33:58.680 Continue

00:33:59.140 You know

00:33:59.640 Yeah

00:33:59.920 You want

00:34:02.980 Me to

00:34:03.140 Keep going

00:34:03.480 Okay

00:34:04.680 Reform

00:34:05.200 Judaism

00:34:05.600 Is unstable

00:34:06.680 The law

00:34:07.200 Of Moses

00:34:07.700 Is central

00:34:08.400 To the

00:34:08.760 Jewish faith

00:34:09.400 Relax it

00:34:10.100 Too much

00:34:10.580 And believers

00:34:11.280 Can justly

00:34:12.000 Wonder what's

00:34:12.580 Left

00:34:12.900 In America

00:34:13.900 Reform Jews 1.00

00:34:14.640 Are over

00:34:15.140 Represented

00:34:15.680 Not only

00:34:16.220 Among atheists

00:34:17.080 And agnostics

00:34:17.880 But among

00:34:18.280 Every cult

00:34:19.240 Under the

00:34:19.860 Sun

00:34:20.200 33%

00:34:21.720 Of American

00:34:22.520 Buddhists 1.00

00:34:23.040 Come from

00:34:23.520 A Jewish

00:34:23.880 Background

00:34:24.360 Keep going

00:34:24.960 2.5%

00:34:26.020 Of the

00:34:26.340 American

00:34:26.540 Population

00:34:27.040 Is Jewish

00:34:27.420 As you

00:34:27.720 Read these

00:34:28.120 Sats

00:34:28.380 Keep going

00:34:28.980 And even

00:34:30.320 The Moonies

00:34:30.920 Were 30% 0.98

00:34:31.940 Jewish

00:34:32.320 At one

00:34:32.760 Point

00:34:33.060 They're now

00:34:33.760 Down to

00:34:34.140 6%

00:34:34.840 As the

00:34:35.960 Jews

00:34:36.200 Were assimilating 0.71

00:34:36.940 Into Greeks 1.00

00:34:37.560 Some Greeks

00:34:38.580 Were assimilating 0.71

00:34:39.280 Into Judaism 0.97

00:34:39.980 They were

00:34:40.700 Impressed

00:34:41.060 Enough

00:34:41.380 With monotheism

00:34:42.280 And the

00:34:42.540 Jews

00:34:42.720 Upright 0.97

00:34:43.340 Behavior

00:34:43.840 To adopt

00:34:44.460 Some of

00:34:44.860 The rituals

00:34:45.280 But they

00:34:45.680 Couldn't

00:34:46.060 Take the

00:34:46.580 Final step

00:34:47.400 And circumcise

00:34:48.220 Themselves

00:34:48.760 Instead

00:34:49.540 They hung

00:34:49.960 Around

00:34:50.220 The fringes

00:34:50.800 Of Jewish

00:34:51.180 Society

00:34:51.660 Admiring

00:34:52.520 It from

00:34:53.180 Without

00:34:53.540 The bible

00:34:54.480 And the

00:34:54.900 Historical record

00:34:55.760 Call them

00:34:56.340 God-fearers 1.00

00:34:57.260 But by

00:34:57.720 Analogy

00:34:58.200 I can't help

00:34:58.760 But thinking

00:34:59.200 Thinking of

00:35:00.580 Them as

00:35:00.920 Wea Jews 0.98

00:35:01.980 This is

00:35:02.700 This is

00:35:02.720 Similar to

00:35:03.140 Wea

00:35:03.440 Wea

00:35:03.460 Wea

00:35:03.760 Jews

00:35:03.780 Would have

00:35:08.720 Been

00:35:08.880 Very easy

00:35:09.880 Prey

00:35:10.300 For the

00:35:10.560 First

00:35:10.800 Semi-Jewish 0.99

00:35:11.540 Sect 0.51

00:35:11.900 To shed

00:35:12.500 The circumcision 0.91

00:35:13.300 Requirement

00:35:13.920 And explicitly

00:35:14.960 Pivot away

00:35:15.720 From being

00:35:16.560 An ethnic 0.87

00:35:17.160 Religion

00:35:17.660 The apostles

00:35:18.600 And any

00:35:19.220 Other early

00:35:20.280 Christians

00:35:20.660 Leaving

00:35:21.040 Palestine

00:35:21.520 To minister

00:35:22.180 To the

00:35:22.540 Wider

00:35:22.760 World

00:35:23.160 Wait

00:35:23.500 Hold on

00:35:23.880 We'll

00:35:24.360 Do a

00:35:24.760 Quick

00:35:24.920 I want

00:35:25.220 To talk

00:35:25.960 About this

00:35:26.300 Lessing

00:35:26.620 Here

00:35:26.780 Okay

00:35:27.260 So I

00:35:28.600 Find this

00:35:28.920 Interesting

00:35:29.340 In a few

00:35:29.800 Areas

00:35:30.200 Here

00:35:30.360 One

00:35:30.800 Is 0.88

00:35:31.140 I was

00:35:31.780 Unaware

00:35:32.380 That

00:35:32.720 Reformed

00:35:33.600 Jews

00:35:33.900 Just did 0.96

00:35:34.440 These

00:35:34.700 Deconversions

00:35:35.500 So much

00:35:36.320 Or that

00:35:36.880 They were

00:35:37.080 So well

00:35:37.480 Represented

00:35:37.940 In cults

00:35:38.660 But no

00:35:39.000 Come on

00:35:39.340 You did

00:35:39.660 Because they

00:35:40.120 Are a soft

00:35:40.720 Culture

00:35:41.060 And soft

00:35:41.760 Culture

00:35:42.160 Is basically

00:35:42.840 Not culture 0.98

00:35:43.580 But apparently

00:35:44.380 They're like

00:35:44.780 The softest

00:35:45.580 Of all

00:35:46.020 Soft cultures

00:35:46.740 Pushovers

00:35:47.940 Well no

00:35:49.780 They're just

00:35:50.240 Uniquely

00:35:51.200 Well I think

00:35:51.840 We can learn

00:35:52.860 A few things

00:35:53.380 From this

00:35:53.800 Right

00:35:54.080 Okay

00:35:54.580 Which is

00:35:55.040 One

00:35:55.420 Judaism

00:35:55.940 Doesn't work

00:35:56.960 If you

00:35:57.420 Don't do

00:35:57.940 It

00:35:58.100 A hundred

00:35:58.620 Percent

00:35:59.060 Yeah

00:35:59.680 You cannot

00:36:00.480 Do

00:36:00.860 Fifty percent

00:36:01.540 Judaism

00:36:01.980 You cannot

00:36:02.660 Do

00:36:03.060 Seventy

00:36:03.560 Five percent

00:36:04.020 Judaism

00:36:04.460 You have

00:36:05.280 To do

00:36:05.640 A hundred

00:36:06.120 Percent

00:36:06.500 Judaism

00:36:06.900 And that

00:36:07.960 Means

00:36:08.200 Living in

00:36:09.080 A jewish 1.00

00:36:09.580 Community

00:36:10.020 That's what

00:36:10.360 He's pointing

00:36:10.640 Out here

00:36:10.920 You need

00:36:11.400 To get

00:36:11.800 A wise

00:36:12.240 Yourself

00:36:13.200 If you

00:36:14.420 Want to

00:36:14.800 Maintain

00:36:15.160 Your

00:36:15.340 Traditions

00:36:16.000 Yeah

00:36:16.540 Number

00:36:19.260 Two

00:36:19.620 If we

00:36:21.720 As a

00:36:22.160 Techno

00:36:22.480 Puritan

00:36:22.740 Tradition

00:36:23.140 Are looking

00:36:23.540 For early

00:36:24.000 Converts

00:36:24.540 You can

00:36:25.320 Look to

00:36:25.720 Reform

00:36:26.100 Jewish

00:36:26.440 Community

00:36:26.900 Because

00:36:27.660 Apparently

00:36:28.080 They're

00:36:28.460 Much

00:36:29.040 Easier

00:36:29.400 To

00:36:29.580 Convert

00:36:29.980 Than

00:36:30.300 Other

00:36:30.580 Traditions

00:36:31.140 And

00:36:31.860 I think

00:36:32.360 That

00:36:32.540 Honestly

00:36:32.980 Our

00:36:33.360 Religion

00:36:33.680 Is 0.88

00:36:34.060 Really

00:36:34.540 Appealing

00:36:35.060 To

00:36:35.320 Somebody

00:36:35.680 From

00:36:35.980 One

00:36:36.120 Of

00:36:36.200 Those

00:36:36.340 Communities

00:36:36.860 As

00:36:37.600 People

00:36:37.820 Know

00:36:38.060 Early

00:36:38.520 On

00:36:38.840 I was

00:36:39.180 Much

00:36:39.520 More

00:36:39.880 Jewish

00:36:40.660 Jewish

00:36:40.680 Leaning 0.95

00:36:41.220 In

00:36:41.460 My

00:36:41.580 Beliefs

00:36:41.900 Like

00:36:42.020 Oh

00:36:42.140 Maybe

00:36:42.320 Some

00:36:42.520 Of

00:36:42.600 My

00:36:42.720 Kids

00:36:42.880 Could

00:36:43.040 Convert

00:36:43.280 To

00:36:43.420 Judaism

00:36:43.680 Because

00:36:43.960 They're

00:36:44.100 Technically

00:36:44.340 Jews

00:36:44.620 Because

00:36:44.760 It's

00:36:44.900 Simone's

00:36:45.160 Background

00:36:45.380 And

00:36:45.540 Everything

00:36:45.700 Like

00:36:45.900 That

00:36:46.120 And

00:36:46.280 Go

00:36:46.880 Through

00:36:47.100 All

00:36:47.220 The

00:36:47.320 Traditions

00:36:47.740 In

00:36:47.900 Regards

00:36:48.220 To

00:36:48.380 That

00:36:48.600 But

00:36:49.000 As

00:36:49.220 I

00:36:49.340 Begin

00:36:49.600 To

00:36:49.840 Dive

00:36:50.180 More

00:36:50.620 Into

00:36:51.240 Religious

00:36:52.060 History

00:36:52.900 I

00:36:53.740 Came

00:36:54.040 More

00:36:54.400 And

00:36:54.680 More

00:36:54.940 To

00:36:55.160 The

00:36:55.320 Position

00:36:55.740 That

00:36:56.440 Unfortunately

00:36:57.160 Christianity

00:36:58.240 Is 0.88

00:36:58.620 Just

00:36:58.860 Such

00:36:59.180 A

00:36:59.660 Evolution

00:37:00.720 Above

00:37:01.460 Judaism

00:37:02.000 That

00:37:02.660 You

00:37:02.880 It

00:37:03.800 Really

00:37:04.120 Makes

00:37:04.400 Very

00:37:04.660 Little

00:37:04.920 Sense

00:37:05.280 To

00:37:05.480 Go

00:37:05.620 Back

00:37:05.860 To

00:37:06.020 Judaism

00:37:06.360 Unless

00:37:06.700 You're

00:37:06.880 Just

00:37:07.120 Looking

00:37:07.420 For

00:37:07.640 Something

00:37:07.920 That

00:37:08.140 Has

00:37:08.280 A

00:37:10.240 Or

00:37:11.180 You

00:37:11.360 Have

00:37:15.720 Like

00:37:16.480 If

00:37:16.580 That's

00:37:16.800 The

00:37:18.600 Fine

00:37:18.880 But

00:37:19.440 Outside

00:37:19.940 Of

00:37:29.800 I

00:37:30.000 Mean

00:37:30.140 It's

00:51:10.940 Let's

00:51:11.280 Say

00:51:11.440 Like

00:51:11.920 A

00:51:12.300 Reform

00:51:12.940 Judaism

00:51:13.440 Which

00:51:14.300 Loosens 0.99

00:51:15.140 The

00:51:15.720 But

00:51:15.920 Also

00:51:16.240 Loosens 0.99

00:51:16.700 Ties

00:51:17.020 To

00:51:17.200 The

00:51:17.620 But

00:51:18.340 That

00:51:18.540 Loosens 0.99

00:51:19.060 The

00:51:19.320 Rules

00:51:19.720 By

00:51:20.220 Putting

00:51:20.740 Maybe

00:51:20.980 A

00:51:21.260 New

00:51:24.020 Or

00:51:24.220 A

00:51:24.340 New

00:51:24.460 Way

00:51:24.640 Of

00:51:24.820 Framing

00:51:25.140 Things

00:51:25.660 That

00:51:31.240 But

00:51:32.380 I

00:51:32.580 Think

00:51:32.780 This

00:51:33.020 Is 0.88

00:51:33.180 Important

00:51:33.660 If

00:51:34.580 You

00:51:34.880 See

00:51:35.480 Christianity

00:51:36.340 As

00:51:37.000 A

00:51:37.360 Separate

00:51:37.920 Religion

00:51:38.360 From

00:51:38.820 Judaism

00:51:39.380 I

00:51:40.060 Think

00:51:40.260 It

00:51:40.360 Can

00:51:40.500 Cause

00:51:40.840 People

00:51:41.140 To

00:51:41.360 Misunderstand

00:51:42.420 Christianity's 0.68

00:51:43.260 Role

00:51:43.760 Christianity

00:51:44.600 Was

00:51:45.060 Just

00:51:45.300 An

00:51:45.560 Iteration

00:51:46.320 Of

00:51:46.540 Judaism

00:51:47.040 An

00:51:47.740 Update

00:51:48.120 Of

00:51:48.260 Judaism

00:51:48.600 That

00:51:48.840 Wasn't

00:51:49.140 A

00:51:49.340 Particularly

00:51:49.740 Bigger

00:51:50.580 Or

00:51:50.800 More

00:51:51.000 Severe

00:51:51.420 Update

00:51:51.860 Than

00:51:52.360 The

00:51:52.520 Update

00:51:52.960 That

00:51:53.480 Shabbat

00:51:54.080 Zevi

00:51:54.380 Tried

00:51:54.660 To

00:51:54.840 Make

00:51:55.120 Or

00:51:55.600 The

00:51:55.780 Update

00:51:56.080 That

00:51:56.960 Israel

00:51:57.540 Ben

00:51:58.140 Eliezer

00:51:58.640 Tried

00:51:58.920 To

00:51:59.060 Make

00:51:59.340 That

00:52:00.100 The

00:52:01.120 One

00:52:01.520 Difference

00:52:01.880 It

00:52:02.000 Had

00:52:02.120 To

00:52:02.220 Their

00:52:02.380 Updates

00:52:02.700 Is 0.88

00:52:02.820 That

00:52:02.920 It

00:52:03.020 Said

00:52:03.200 Okay

00:52:03.540 Now

00:52:03.860 Everyone

00:52:04.380 Can

00:52:04.640 Participate

00:52:05.300 And

00:52:06.180 That

00:52:06.820 I

00:52:08.500 Think

00:52:08.740 That

00:52:08.920 When

00:52:09.100 You

00:52:09.220 Miss

00:52:09.600 That

00:52:09.900 When

00:52:10.060 You

00:52:10.160 See

00:52:10.260 Christianity

00:52:10.660 As

00:52:10.880 A

00:52:10.980 Totally

00:52:11.320 New

00:52:11.560 Religion

00:52:11.900 Which

00:52:12.380 A lot

00:52:12.600 Of

00:52:12.720 Christians

00:52:13.000 Have

00:52:13.200 A

00:52:13.280 Motive

00:52:13.440 To

00:52:13.600 Do

00:52:13.700 And

00:52:13.800 A lot

00:52:13.980 Of

00:52:14.100 Jews

00:52:14.260 Have

00:52:14.420 A

00:52:14.520 Motive

00:52:14.660 To

00:52:14.820 Do

00:52:14.940 A

00:52:15.340 A lot

00:52:15.480 Of

00:52:15.580 Christians

00:52:15.900 Want

00:52:16.060 To

00:52:16.120 Have

00:52:16.200 These

00:52:16.340 Anti

00:52:16.580 Semitic 0.92

00:52:17.060 Ideologies

00:52:17.720 And

00:52:17.980 So

00:52:18.160 It

00:52:18.280 Really

00:52:18.500 Helps

00:52:18.840 To

00:52:19.120 Forget

00:52:19.880 That

00:52:20.500 Jesus

00:52:33.460 And

00:52:34.100 I

00:52:34.300 Really

00:52:34.580 Need

00:52:34.820 To

00:52:34.940 Emphasize

00:52:35.420 Here

00:52:35.680 It

00:53:57.860 Could

00:53:58.160 Claim

00:53:58.560 That

00:53:58.860 Modern

00:53:59.440 Judaism

00:53:59.960 Has

00:54:00.320 Conserved

00:54:01.120 More

00:54:01.640 Of

00:54:01.900 The

00:54:02.060 Features

00:54:02.620 Associated

00:54:03.940 With

00:54:07.060 And

00:54:07.800 It

00:54:07.940 Definitely

00:54:08.340 Has

00:54:09.020 But

00:54:09.800 I

00:54:10.100 Think

00:54:10.320 It's

00:54:10.500 A

00:54:10.620 Real

00:54:11.100 Stretch

00:54:11.720 To

00:54:12.260 Claim

00:54:12.540 That

00:54:12.720 It's

00:54:12.940 The

00:54:13.200 Same

00:54:13.680 Religion

00:54:14.140 Especially

00:54:15.100 When

00:54:15.740 You

00:54:15.880 Consider

00:54:16.280 That

00:54:16.540 Claim

00:54:16.800 In

00:54:16.940 The

00:54:17.060 Context

00:54:17.620 Of

00:54:18.260 Kabbalic

00:54:18.920 Literature

00:54:20.160 That

00:54:20.340 Didn't

00:54:20.680 Exist

00:54:21.120 Back

00:54:21.380 Then

00:54:21.660 Or

00:54:22.220 Practices

00:54:22.820 Tied

00:54:23.180 To

00:54:23.300 The

00:54:23.440 Destruction

00:54:23.920 Of

00:54:24.260 The

00:54:24.420 Temple

00:54:24.740 Which

00:54:25.280 Obviously

00:54:25.720 Didn't

00:54:26.080 Exist

00:54:26.420 Back

00:54:26.660 Then

00:54:26.860 Either

00:54:27.180 Or

00:54:27.700 Practices

00:54:28.200 Tied

00:54:28.580 To

00:54:28.740 The

00:54:28.940 Long

00:54:29.440 Jewish

00:54:30.080 Diaspora

00:54:30.600 Period

00:54:30.920 Which

00:54:31.140 Obviously

00:54:31.620 Didn't

00:54:31.980 Exist

00:54:32.340 Back

00:54:32.580 Then

00:54:32.820 I

00:54:33.860 Really

00:54:34.500 Think

00:54:34.740 To

00:54:34.940 Hold

00:54:35.300 This

00:54:35.580 Belief

00:54:35.980 If

00:54:36.220 You

00:54:36.360 Do

00:54:36.740 It's

00:54:37.420 A

00:54:37.600 Theological

00:54:38.520 Belief

00:54:39.060 Rather

00:54:39.700 Than

00:54:39.960 A

00:54:40.180 Fact

00:54:40.560 Based

00:54:40.900 Belief

00:54:41.300 When

00:54:41.780 I

00:54:41.900 Look

00:54:42.120 At

00:54:42.240 The

00:54:42.420 Degree

00:54:42.940 Of

00:54:43.180 Differences

00:54:43.700 And

00:54:44.140 That's

00:54:44.340 Okay

00:54:44.600 It's

00:54:44.800 Okay

00:54:45.040 To

00:54:45.200 Hold

00:54:45.440 Theological

00:54:46.040 Beliefs

00:54:46.760 But

00:54:47.340 It's

00:54:47.620 A

00:54:47.760 Problem

00:54:48.080 If

00:54:48.460 You

00:54:48.560 Mistake

00:54:49.020 A

00:54:50.660 Fact

00:54:50.960 Based

00:54:51.240 Belief

00:54:51.660 I

00:54:52.000 Think

00:54:52.280 That

00:54:52.480 The

00:54:52.660 Real

00:54:53.240 Claim

00:54:53.840 That

00:54:54.140 Judaism

00:54:54.540 Has

00:54:59.740 The

00:55:01.440 But

00:55:01.980 That

00:55:02.480 To

00:55:02.740 Me

00:55:02.960 Seems

00:55:03.280 Like

00:55:03.440 A

00:55:05.620 One

00:55:05.980 Theological

00:55:07.340 More

00:55:07.560 Valid

00:55:07.960 Than

01:08:40.460 And

01:08:44.880 The

01:08:59.060 each of you must love his wife as he loves himself and the wife must respect her husband 0.77

01:09:05.140 end quote the christians banned adultery and unlike the roman bands gave it teeth meaning 1.00

01:09:11.700 that married men who wanted sex had no choice but to go to their wives they had they held that sex 0.99

01:09:17.440 had to be procreative banning anal sex oral sex homosexual sex and birth control and obviously 0.99

01:09:23.220 they banned infanticide many of these bands weren't active decisions but carryovers from the 0.99

01:09:28.700 movement's jewish roots so this is i think really really big so you're a woman right like people 0.76

01:09:35.320 don't understand how pro-woman christianity is it's like wait wait wait yeah well has to be monogamous 0.71

01:09:41.140 he's not gonna kill my babies anymore he's not gonna what what what is it yeah right you know 0.97

01:09:49.520 when he has sex with me he has to maybe get me pregnant and deal with it because keep in mind 1.00

01:09:54.500 the other types of sex the romans were having they felt good for the man like a woman doing oral on 0.99

01:10:00.580 you or allowing anal but they didn't feel as good for the woman anal does not feel as good for most 0.99

01:10:06.440 women as vaginal sex does oral doesn't feel as good for most women as vaginal sex does the form of sex 1.00

01:10:12.620 that women want they're like oh i get to have babies i get to not deal with my babies being killed 1.00

01:10:17.480 i get to have vaginal sex i get to have a husband who's not sleeping with random prostitutes all the 1.00

01:10:23.280 time what a treat horrible diseases what a treat yeah like ah good these knees yeah i was always like 1.00

01:10:31.780 surprised reading in history books how so-and-so's wife converted him to christianity and now i'm like

01:10:37.760 oh the faith yes the faith won her over yeah yeah i think it's usually undersold because feminists 1.00

01:10:46.820 try to get it these days and and christians hear this and they're like oh feminists are being 1.00

01:10:51.880 feminists and trying to say that early christianity was fem you know what i mean like there's all of 1.00

01:10:56.620 this like it really was wrapped up in it and it's like bro imagine if you drowned a woman's newborn child

01:11:03.480 how motivated is she going to be this isn't about feminism okay this is about just at a base level 1.00

01:11:10.400 understanding women yeah yeah or acknowledging women as human i mean i do think that there's sort

01:11:18.640 of a subhuman status to women in many ancient cultures but including yeah keep in mind coming 1.00

01:11:24.800 from judaism judaism is a fairly sex positive culture in regards to women oh yeah for example

01:11:30.560 a man in judaism has a religious duty to sexually please his wife if you are not sexually pleasing your 0.96

01:11:36.840 wife in judaism you are a bad jew you are not doing your religion correctly and that didn't carry 1.00

01:11:43.480 over to christianity i actually like that it didn't because i think it built and even when i'm talking 0.98

01:11:47.980 about like a more moral system what the christians say is you need to serve your wife and love your

01:11:53.320 wife as christ loves you which is to say that sexuality really doesn't matter sexuality as we often argue

01:12:00.460 should be taken and this is very less focus on hedonism essentially christians today

01:12:06.500 argue that very non-biblically that sexuality should be paired with a hundred percent sex as

01:12:15.180 wives for procreation when the reality is is the bible says basically nothing about this sorry i should

01:12:21.480 clarify it says nothing saying that sex should only be for procreation it says a great deal saying that

01:12:27.680 you should have sex outside of procreation specifically you have the song of solomon this entire book 0.97

01:12:33.060 celebrates the physical and emotional aspects of marital love including sexual pleasure you have

01:12:38.980 proverbs 5 18 19 this passage encourage husbands to quote rejoice in your wife of your youth end quote

01:12:46.720 and to be quote intoxicated always in her love end quote clearly referring to sexual pleasure and then

01:12:53.800 you have one corinthians 7 3 through 5 and in this one i really don't think you could get any stronger

01:13:01.660 statement here and this is coming directly from paul the husband should fulfill his marital duty to his

01:13:07.480 wife and likewise the wife to her husband the wife does not have authority over her own body but yields 0.98

01:13:13.700 it to her husband in the same way the husband does not have authority over his own body but yields to

01:13:18.580 his wife do not deprive each other except perhaps by mutual consent and for a time so that you may devote

01:13:24.800 yourselves to prayers then come together again so that satan will not tempt you because of your lack of

01:13:30.580 self-control so the interesting counter to what a lot of people believe this is saying that neither the

01:13:37.280 husband nor the wife has the right to deny their partner access to sex so it's very clear paul the core guy

01:13:46.900 doing a lot of the early christian conversions said the husband cannot say to his wife no i will not

01:13:53.920 have sex with you right now if she wants to have sex with them this can only be stopped if it is a time 1.00

01:13:59.880 set aside for prayer or by mutual consent so you you do have conjugal duties to your wife and there are 0.98

01:14:06.400 no caveats in this section about a post-menopausal wife or an infertile wife or an infertile husband

01:14:11.680 which indicates that sex is clearly meant to be had not just for procreation that's a pretty big 0.97

01:14:18.040 oversight if that's what was meant by this it's it's arousal patterns if you can masturbate them in

01:14:24.100 some other way as long as you're not using another human woman to do that because you shouldn't lust

01:14:28.540 after another woman but you know if it's a drawing or something like that nothing in the bible against

01:14:33.600 that in fact i mentioned there's one segment that specifically does talk about emissions and it

01:14:38.240 says that male emissions that are not during sex uh should be treated about the same as female

01:14:44.420 periods sorry i misspoke here it was a lesser form of sin than a period or a lesser form of ritual

01:14:49.960 uncleanliness in a period all it required was bathing whereas a period required being set apart for seven

01:14:56.900 days so definitely not like this mortal sin that christians today will tell you it is i would note

01:15:03.720 here in this section it can also be read as saying that anyone who does not regularly masturbate has a

01:15:10.880 different type of emission which is considered extra unclean specifically here is the section on

01:15:17.260 blocked emissions where it says of men with blocked emissions that any bed they lay on or anything they

01:15:23.220 sit on should be considered unclean but here i would note that some people read this section to be

01:15:28.580 talking about diseases which prevent emissions and this is again here scott makes a mistake where he

01:15:34.920 accidentally believes what's written in this book by a guy who is a very hardcore classical christian

01:15:41.900 which is trying to convince him of something that isn't true and scott accidentally buys parts of

01:15:47.780 his arguments and his arguments aren't wrong but sort of buys into the modern belief that from the

01:15:53.640 beginning christianity has been a life begins at conception movement

01:15:59.500 and this just isn't true that really only became popular across christianity after the u.s tried to

01:16:09.360 get the catholics into the right-wing coalition in the 1970s before that the majority of republicans in

01:16:15.000 the u.s u.s was actually the more pro-choice in terms of abortion party and that if you look at the

01:16:20.580 early writings so if you're looking at somebody like augustus of hippo or thomas aquinas both early

01:16:26.020 catholic thinkers they were they believed that life began or not life began but insulment like the soul

01:16:32.240 entered the body at 30 to 60 days after conception happened it's kind of remarkable that they were

01:16:38.680 pretty good at knowing when the human nervous system began to develop because that is when the

01:16:42.520 human nervous system begins to develop could you say that maybe they were actually in touch with god's

01:16:47.180 real teachings instead of crazy nonsense yeah i think maybe but anyway the point being is that early

01:16:54.180 christian communities passed laws telling people not to have what were abortions during this time period

01:17:00.060 but if you look at the christian intellectual writers they would have said well we're passing these bans

01:17:05.180 not because life begins at conception but because your average hick doesn't know what they're talking 0.99

01:17:09.840 about right so like let's just play it safe and i really like that when we look at the early christian

01:17:15.880 community we can see that they had both biblical you know as we can see from god god said i knew you

01:17:20.340 before you were in your mother's womb which means there's a degree of predetermination which means

01:17:24.080 that god knew you before you came to exist in your mother's womb or you were a soul in heaven and you're

01:17:28.000 later put into the body and so the question is when does that happen it likely happens when you have

01:17:32.080 a degree of a nervous system i.e if i lose like my finger i don't think i lost part of my soul

01:17:37.660 because i don't have a nervous system thinking in my finger so i think this is important to note here

01:17:43.580 because i think he accidentally spread some bad propaganda in this part but continue

01:17:46.960 but i'll end this section with a note of caution i'm not sure how relevant any of this is stark

01:17:52.020 refuses to speculate on pagan versus christian fertility rates but when i look up modern

01:17:57.180 scholarship they reasonably point out that pagan rates must have been around replacement given

01:18:02.320 that the roman population stayed steady or slowly increased for hundreds of years replacement is in

01:18:07.640 quotes because romans were constantly dying of plague warfare fire and a million other causes

01:18:12.340 since only a third to half of people who survived to reproduce replacement here is something like four

01:18:18.700 to six children per women this doesn't sound like the antinatalist disaster stark describes i think

01:18:24.280 stark is mostly talking about roman elites the group who augustus kept pestering to have at least three

01:18:29.260 children and more broadly about the urban population these people were constantly dying and being

01:18:35.420 replaced by commoners and villagers early christianity was primarily an urban and upper class movement

01:18:41.600 does this surprise you stark urges us to think of modern cults and new religions like american buddhism

01:18:47.080 which predominantly recruit dissolution children of the upper classes so perhaps it did better than

01:18:52.420 its urban upper class pagan comparison group still since the urban upper class pagans were constantly

01:18:58.440 being replaced by village lower class pagans as soon as they died out how much in numerical terms can 0.95

01:19:04.260 this contribute to christianity's growth and here is where he made a mistake again i think it sort of

01:19:10.460 takes this person's word at at face value stark's word at face value christianity did not have an upper

01:19:17.880 class early community what it had was an urban focus which concentrated on things like merchant classes

01:19:25.240 but was very bad at spreading in the actual aristocratic classes so specifically the people who were converting

01:19:33.920 in mass in early days were manual workers and clerks shopkeepers and merchants slaves and some well-to-do

01:19:42.720 individuals who could host gatherings in their own homes

01:19:44.980 hmm okay

01:19:47.780 while there is evidence of some elite converts especially after the second century

01:19:53.560 they were a small minority among early christians during the first few centuries

01:19:56.960 the highest levels of roman society such as the senatorial class were absent from early christian

01:20:02.440 circles particularly before constantine's conversion in the fourth century so why was

01:20:08.500 christianity so urban focused because that's what it was it was an urban focused religion not a

01:20:13.300 wealthy focused religion which they sort of misconstrue here and a merchant focused religion trade routes

01:20:20.920 cities were connected to the best well-established trade routes allowing for easier travel and

01:20:24.960 communications between christian communities synagogues early christian missionaries often

01:20:29.160 started their work in jewish synagogues which were primarily located in urban centers remember

01:20:34.760 christianity was a version of judaism in the early days and seen as a version of judaism in the early days

01:20:40.380 social networks cities offered dense populations and diverse social networks facilitating the rapid spread

01:20:47.640 of ideas which if you look at like the way the ea movement has spread it's spread in group houses the

01:20:52.820 fastest right like the sort of the population the faster the spread and then finally you have house

01:20:58.260 churches where you had some wealthy individuals and wealthy christians who would host gatherings in

01:21:03.200 nice homes the the early christians were not overly they they were wealthier than your average roman but 1.00

01:21:08.820 that was because population was wealthier than the rest of rome not that they were a specifically wealthy

01:21:14.500 group i think very similar to the scientologists they have some sort of upper class

01:21:19.400 uh none of the real aristocrats in our society but like new money types uh a merchant class type

01:21:27.160 and then a lot of like urban slave types that sort of make up their lower ranks

01:21:31.900 okay shall i continue continue a possible synthesis if you imagine a city is having a constant population

01:21:40.660 because it's walled plus its hinterland can only support a certain number of non-food producing urbanites

01:21:45.820 and villagers as replacing urbanites on a one-to-one basis as they die then greater christian urban

01:21:51.860 fertility rates can at least contribute to the cities and upper class becoming christian and once the

01:21:57.660 cities and upper classes are christian you get constantine and lower classes can be forced to

01:22:02.700 comply remember pagan originally meant rural which it did by the way i was really shocked to learn that's wild

01:22:10.220 yeah one thing stark did not mention discovering in his study of cults but which i have heard

01:22:17.220 anecdotally a lot of male cult members joined because the cult has hot girls okay here's malcolm's

01:22:22.200 argument scott continues this seems to have been a big factor in the spread of early christianity as

01:22:27.720 well stark collects various forms of evidence that early christians were predominantly women

01:22:32.480 paul's epistle to the romans greets 33 prominent christians by name of whom 15 were men and 18 were women

01:22:39.480 if it seems likely men were more likely to become prominent than women this near equality of the

01:22:46.100 upper ranks suggests a female predominance at the lower a third century inventory of property at a

01:22:51.980 christian church includes quote 16 men's tunics and 82 women's tunics unquote the book quotes historian

01:22:59.260 adolph on harnack who says quote ancient sources simply swarm with tales of how women of all ranks were

01:23:07.120 converted in rome and in the provinces although the details of these stories are untrustworthy they express

01:23:13.340 correctly enough for the general truth that christianity was laid whole by women in particular 0.93

01:23:19.000 and that the percentage of christian women especially among the upper classes was larger than that of men

01:23:24.980 end quote why were women converted in such disproportionate numbers again stark sociological

01:23:31.080 background serves him well he is able to find reports of the same phenomenon in modern religions

01:23:37.060 here he quotes stark by examining the manuscript census returns for the later half of the 19th century

01:23:44.420 bainbridge 1983 found that approximately two-thirds of the shakers were female data on religious

01:23:50.200 movements included in the 1926 census of religious bodies showed that 75 percent of christian scientists

01:23:56.260 were women as were more than 60 percent of theosophists swedenborgans and spiritualists

01:24:01.980 the same is true of the immense wave of protestant conversions taking place in latin america

01:24:07.480 end quote that's fascinating by the way that women are the first to convert women are the cult ones

01:24:13.200 they're the cultists but women well the way it worked in the ea community because ea community is 1.00

01:24:19.580 overwhelmingly male is that women would sort of convert because they'd get incredible status

01:24:24.460 and then it sort of supported a number of i'd call them witless females who could get the cream of the 1.00

01:24:30.760 crop of silicon valley men by converting and they'd be supported and they'd be everything like that so

01:24:35.560 they were treated better than they were by the rest of silicon valley because if you join the eas well

01:24:41.280 you get a place to live and you get your choice of the best men and you never have to work and then

01:24:47.060 that's a really so it's it's almost sort of like an inversion of this phenomenon right

01:24:52.620 where it's attracting virtuous women is attracting unvirtuous women 1.00

01:24:57.500 anyway continues but along with a general tendency for women to convert stark notes that christianity

01:25:06.300 was especially attractive to women the pagan world treated women as their husband's property and not

01:25:11.340 particularly well liked property at that the book cites the athenian laws as typical quote the status

01:25:18.140 of athenian women was very low girls received little or no education typically athenian females 0.52

01:25:23.160 were married at puberty and often before under athenian law a woman was classified as a child regardless of

01:25:29.420 age and therefore was the legal property of some men at all stages of life males could divorce by simply

01:25:35.660 ordering a wife out of the household moreover if a woman was seduced or raped her husband was legally

01:25:41.980 compelled to divorce her if a woman wanted to divorce she had to have her father or some other 0.99

01:25:47.020 man bring her case before a judge finally athenian women could own property but control of the property 1.00

01:25:53.360 was always vested in the male of whom she belonged or to whom she belonged oh my god okay that's not good

01:26:00.800 okay are you not gonna want to like you're like oh i get to own my own property yeah this wow

01:26:08.120 yeah yeah yeah he continues meanwhile christian women had relatively high status sometimes rising to 1.00

01:26:18.560 the position of deacon within a church christian men were ordered to treat their wives kindly were

01:26:23.480 prohibited from cheating on them and mostly could not divorce christianity unlike paganism did not

01:26:29.180 especially pressure widows to remarry important since remarrying widow lost all her property to her 0.77

01:26:34.520 new husband christian women were only a third as likely as roman women to be married off before age 13

01:26:40.620 women noticed all these benefits and fought to christianity this is important to note christian

01:26:46.060 women were only a third as likely as pagan women to be married off before the age of 13 they're just 1.00

01:26:52.260 not being treated as chattel as much yeah as much and this means that the men the quote-unquote christian

01:27:01.140 influencers who are telling you that women should be treated as chattel that women are like this 1.00

01:27:06.620 corrupting influence on the male mind these are the modern pagans do not trust them they lead you to

01:27:14.400 sour ends there is a reason that their wives all hate them or have left them or they're single

01:27:21.000 because they are feeding you with poison it is poisoned directly into your veins the messages they preach

01:27:29.100 continue aside from all this the romans were practicing sex-selective

01:27:35.720 infanticide reducing their female numbers still further and making the christians even more 1.00

01:27:39.920 proportionally female heavy if the christians like many modern cults were 65 percent female and the romans

01:27:45.880 as some sources attest were about 40 to 45 female it is a pretty profound difference the romans

01:27:52.220 grumbled about marriage but in the end most roman men did want wives if only to avoid government 1.00

01:27:56.980 penalties but 1.4 men per women maybe even less among the upper classes puts young men seeking

01:28:02.580 wives in a difficult situation for comparison modern san francisco is only 1.05 men per women and

01:28:09.700 dating is already hell to any remotely heterosexual roman man the 65 female christian community must 1.00

01:28:16.360 have started looking pretty good meanwhile the christians had the opposite problem too many women 1.00

01:28:22.220 not enough men there is an obvious solution and it sounds like the pagans and christians had also

01:28:27.620 figured it out from 1 peter 3 wives submit yourselves to your own husbands so that if any of them do not 0.50

01:28:36.160 believe the word they may be won over without the words by behavior of their wives when they see the

01:28:42.480 purity and reverence of your lives so it's basically saying be so good yeah your husband can't help but

01:28:50.000 be humbled yeah by your diligence and faith and i'd say you've done that for me with a number of things

01:28:56.600 i believe a number of things now that came from you i'm like well simone is more more faithful and

01:29:02.240 diligent than me by my diligence yeah there we go history rec sorry history records many such

01:29:09.320 intermarriages almost always ending with the conversion of the pagan husband if you are a

01:29:14.120 christian of english descent you may owe your religion to queen bertha of kent who convinced her

01:29:18.960 husband one of the early anglo-saxon sorry one of the early anglo-saxon kings to take her but

01:29:24.080 rexandro teslo has a great post reviewing the work of historian michelle salzman who disagrees with

01:29:30.000 all of this salzman has a database of 400 aristocratic romans during the fourth century

01:29:34.980 period of christianity's fastest growth she finds a few intermarriages few examples of women converting

01:29:41.080 their husbands and equal or slightly male biased conversion ratios granted this only is a small 0.99

01:29:47.600 sample from one period but it makes us question how good our evidence really is doesn't all this hinge

01:29:53.960 on one passage from paul which technically named more men than women plus one inventory of tunics

01:30:00.480 which was so female biased it couldn't possibly have been representative of even a very woman heavy

01:30:05.480 are we sure that we can make the leap from christianity promised women more rights to therefore women

01:30:10.960 flock to christianity wasn't that just the same argument pundits used last week to predict a blue wave

01:30:16.240 for kamala why didn't white women actually go for trump 53 46 salzman has one more concern which is 0.87

01:30:22.720 that women had so few rights in ancient rome society that in ancient roman society that it's hard to see

01:30:29.300 how they could have converted in all when unmarried they were under the care of their father who would

01:30:35.260 hardly have let them go visiting churches full of strange men when married they were under the care of

01:30:39.880 their husband who likewise a typical roman man wouldn't have cared about his wife's religious opinions 0.97

01:30:45.040 which maybe is why so many of our stories are about intermarriages and conversions come from later

01:30:49.820 periods like anglo-saxons i don't know enough about history to referee this dispute except to say that

01:30:55.640 i think the answer could easily have been different for each of the early romans late romans hellenized

01:31:01.780 jewish romans pagan romans upper class romans and lower class romans plus all combinations thereof

01:31:07.440 but again i think he's underplaying no he's underplaying he doesn't get it yeah i think one the the the data

01:31:14.140 that they're looking at do you really think a lot of roman men are saying oh yeah my wife's a

01:31:19.880 different religion of me before they convert yeah no they're not saying that in the sense that i also

01:31:25.220 think you know women were out and about more than you would think like they may be chattel level but 0.99

01:31:33.760 you're going to send them out on errands they're going to gossip they're going to talk with other

01:31:36.920 people in markets like memes will still spread women will still do stuff you know you can be like well 1.00

01:31:41.360 i own my dog but like i still take my dog walking and that dog picks up a lot of scents and scent

01:31:46.020 stories and like you know i'm just yeah yeah women can pick can pick up a religion even in a very very

01:31:54.140 oppressive society i yeah i think that this does not understand how motivating seeing your baby drowned

01:32:02.640 is yeah or or seeing you know your sister get killed in a botched abortion or beaten by someone

01:32:10.760 you know just there's there's an there's plenty there's plenty motivation yeah and i think that i

01:32:17.720 i just yeah i think that this is one of those things where historians can't imagine what it was

01:32:22.360 like back then now this piece actually goes a lot further and we will cover the rest of it in a

01:32:27.780 separate video but this video is already insanely too long but i hope that you guys really enjoyed

01:32:33.840 this because i really enjoyed this and it changed a lot of my perspectives on totally yeah i i hadn't

01:32:38.380 thought about the the women's rights thing it's also so funny that like now when people think about

01:32:43.480 christianity they're like oh like you're here to suppress women with your christianity and an early

01:32:49.240 christian woman would be like what this is the most insanely pro it's not like christianity was 1.00

01:32:57.400 dramatic it's not like it was marginally more pro-woman it was dramatically more pro-woman than 0.76

01:33:03.740 the most extreme feminist today is when contrasted was a modern conservative yeah no it's it's wild it's 1.00

01:33:11.240 it's really it's people not drowning your babies if you don't understand how much that's going to freak

01:33:18.300 out a woman i don't know like have a baby okay like get get on board here people and i think that 0.99

01:33:25.660 the idea that oh these women because if you look at this roman census data it's not like they were

01:33:30.920 asking women what your religion is they would go to a husband and say what's your religion and what's 1.00

01:33:34.940 your wife's religion right you know yeah and the husband's not gonna be like oh my wife is part of 1.00

01:33:38.840 this weird christian cult right and so of course not it's a little embarrassing you know it's like

01:33:43.340 admitting your wife's in an mlm you know you keep the lula row a little hidden you know

01:33:47.900 yes yes so i think that that's like a really silly reason to discount what seems to be like

01:33:55.180 when i look at the tunics thing that's insane it was like 86 with female tunics like 20 male 0.97

01:33:59.880 i'm like yeah but i get it like most older women are going to prefer something like this because they 1.00

01:34:05.440 don't have any other support network most you know and and you're like oh when is a woman going to 1.00

01:34:10.200 interact with an older maybe a midwife maybe a you know there's a lot of people who can be spreading

01:34:15.500 this stuff and there will go over other ways it was spread and why it may not have been seen as

01:34:21.040 nefarious or why people may have had trouble stamping it out when we get to the next part of

01:34:27.100 this overview like the the morality differences between the two groups martyrs and disease survival

01:34:35.220 race so cool yeah man yeah so solid it's a great i mean i want to read the book now but i feel like it's

01:34:43.100 also a great summary astral codex 10 is just so good it's so good just you know whatever i'm glad

01:34:50.880 we live in such a lucky age you know it used to be that only a small percentage of elite people would

01:34:57.260 have access to the thoughts of people the leading thought leaders of their day yeah and now because

01:35:03.940 of podcasts and sub stacks yeah it's just it's super cool i love it and i love you and i'm glad that

01:35:09.780 you're sharing your thoughts with people because it'd be really sad if your thoughts were just

01:35:13.300 isolated to the world i mean i feel the same way about you i'm so glad that your ideas are out there

01:35:18.440 and you know like every night when you say goodnight to me i'm like malcolm no seriously like you need

01:35:23.760 you need to no dying don't die yeah you need to not die so please don't die i love you to death

01:35:48.680 last for a year because it's so special you got you know combining deep freezer you stretch it out

01:35:54.680 with the slow cooker meal where you like combine in a bunch of you know well there's some good squash

01:36:01.900 that we can buy we'll cook it with so yeah you can go look for the box and i'll start i guess

01:36:08.220 probably what we'd want to start with is assuming it's not for yeah i'm sure i'm sure it's fresh

01:36:15.200 is whatever their nicest steak is pan seared yeah you're gonna have a good night tonight do you want

01:36:35.840 with rice with coconut rice rice or potatoes you choose oh yeah well no you could just reheat the

01:36:43.040 frozen potatoes with the mushrooms oh those yeah the the trader joe's ones i was thinking about making

01:36:48.800 like homemade not fresh potatoes i'd take a forever maybe i have to see how long it takes to

01:36:55.440 like flash bake them but anyway yeah okay i'm on a welcome i love you

01:37:00.040 and you see i'm respectful of our time right yes thank you because now i can get everything

01:37:08.640 queued up and hopefully not go to bed super late tonight all right have a good one love you gorgeous

01:37:13.700 love you too oh i'm gonna stop recording i learned anything interesting

01:37:19.020 just that universities waste prodigious amounts of money i can tell when i go through

01:37:29.620 rfps that they put out for travel management and they describe the way that they book travel i'm like

01:37:36.040 oh you guys you guys waste a lot of money don't you oh yes you do oh

01:37:44.500 that's how universities they're the heart of the whole bleeding broken system that we live in

01:37:53.000 yeah i suppose universities can be cracked everything can that's why i'm so interested in

01:37:57.920 the american academy project same here yeah going through rfp stuff all day today with a university

01:38:04.880 i'm all the more convinced that this needs to be fixed the funny thing is my experiences recently

01:38:13.420 doing bid related work with government agencies has made universities seem even more egregiously

01:38:20.440 irresponsible which is crazy because you would think that government agencies would be the worst

01:38:24.720 on this front but they're not they're actually quite in in many cases responsible the funny thing is

01:38:31.420 pretty much every government worker i've encountered has been really responsible conscientious like

01:38:38.620 really doing the best that they can universities totally different story that is where i'm seeing

01:38:45.420 the classic bureaucrat who literally is just out to spin wheels and keep their job justified it is

01:38:55.000 where the rot will spread from the universities outwards why why universities first um because they are the

01:39:03.340 most they are sort of the generator of this culture so the disease that is now affecting sort of the deep

01:39:09.580 state was lab grown in universities and developed in universities this was it's the they're the gain of

01:39:16.540 function for yes their gain of function labs for harmful for a harmful memetic cult um dear me

01:39:24.460 i i i you're so clever simone i love you

01:39:27.460 in ancient rome where altar shone the pagan gods once ruled alone but quietly came a faithful breed

01:39:47.300 not through big signs but with small seed they gathered in humble prayer

01:39:55.800 no sweeping crowds or mass fanfare they built their homes with children glad

01:40:04.300 more babes they bore than pagans had they didn't conquer hearts by force 1.00

01:40:13.000 or cast the shrines in sudden course they simply grew in number c the cradle was their victory 0.55

01:40:26.000 while statues loomed in marble halls they taught their young beyond those walls each brand new life a living call that soon outgrew the pagan throne

01:40:48.000 no grand crusade

01:40:51.000 no grand crusade in streets of stone no golden flags or trumpets blown

01:40:56.500 yet countless children won the fight and pagan ways soon lost their might 0.98

01:41:05.000 they didn't they didn't conquer hearts by force or cast the shrines in sudden course

01:41:13.500 they simply grew in number c the cradle was their victory a quiet change from heart to home in every lane across old home

01:41:31.000 not by swords or sparkling stage not by swords or sparkling stage but the next generation turned the page

01:41:39.500 they didn't conquer hearts by force or cast the shrines in sudden course

01:41:48.000 they simply grew in number c the cradle was their victory 0.99

01:41:56.500 yes by the crib they came to be the future of that old city

01:42:06.000 no way
