@shmibs@Moon More feeling a part of I mean. There is a sense of grounding in certain places. That's the magic. That is the feeling you chase. Or a sense of belonging. Religion is ancient or old, it taps into that part of us.
@shmibs@Moon Also would actually recommend walking into a cathedral or church that is old. Listen to that profound silence as you gaze up at the stain glass or the altar. That is the reverence that is spiritual and profound and peaceful. I think that is what moves people.
@Moon@shmibs Go to Scotland, the highlands specifically. That place is magical. Will make you wonder if that is why your ancestors believed in magic and religion and all sorts. Just something about that place. Maybe Stonehenge too, hard to not feel a part when you visit ancient things.
@shmibs Is that realistic? You'd need to wire them up all over the skin. I'm not sure it would work in the same way. Biology is imperfect but it has important ways that it works for us that we don't fully understand yet. I just don't think transhumanism is the answer to that. Not to mention how important it is for women who want to be mothers to have the option to give birth and all the intricacies of that.
@shmibs Even if it were realistic, I don't think it would be good for the human psyche. Touch is such an important aspect of our lives. This is even assuming we can move the brain to this new body without killing it.

sim"But we need to understand that what we’re fighting is not feminism, properly understood, but something I’ve characterised elsewhere as bio-libertarianism. A worldview that for fifty years now has claimed to act in women’s interests but is increasingly obviously at odds with those interests. It’s a worldview that believes human freedom necessitates radical unmooring from the givens of our bodies."
@triodug I have the opposite. I thought about moving to America in my youth, and a few other countries but not many. But honestly, I realised that everywhere is shit thanks to politics so I'd rather stay where I am. This is where I have the connections to home, even while other people are here to destroy my heritage.
