The past is terrible and you can never overcome it. But there's surely a religious interpretation of this is sort of, you know, what happened is, has let's say the church lost a certain amount of authority, but people didn't become, you know, rationalist, atheist people. They went into the sort of woke religion, which, you know, has been, which I would interpret as, you know, a certain, you know, extreme form of Christianity. girl you wish you hadn’t started a conversation with at a party (cecily strong, snl)

“Yeah, but I still think that was not, again we can — it’s very hard to know these cultural arguments,” replied Thiel. “I don’t know, I’d be open to a sort of a religious interpretation.” “That it is Christianity, the, you know, the main religion of the Western world. You know, it always takes the side of the victim and there’s something where it is like some kind of deformation or intensification,” argued Thiel. “And maybe you should think of wokeness as ultra-Christianity or hyper-Christianity.”

I don't see what role Thiel acknowledges (if any) for repentance/conversion Not sure if the point is necessarily to fail but it is to witness Thiel doesn't seem to leave room for witness that lacks visible ROI

For the likes of Thiel, Christianity is fine as a cultural institution, western civilization at prayer. It's when people actually live it as a faith that's the problem, apparently. Frankly, this sounds a bit like a regurgitated version of Nietzsche's "slave morality."

Like I'm also sure this was the big problem Nietzsche had with Christianity. And it's also really telling that for all of their "cultural Christian" tripe, their mindset is more in line with ol' Freddy than Jesus.

Well, modern American churches have gyms, counseling services, “sermons” that sound more like motivational talks, etc., so Nietzsche’s self-overcoming ideas have long since filtered their way into the mainstream.
