Justus Frank: Life Of Learning Justus Frank

This is Part 4 of my reflections based on the book "The Righteous Mind: Why Good People Are Divided by Politics and Religion" by Jonathan Haidt.

In his book, Jonathan makes a strong case for the groupish nature of humans and for group selection. That we are not just selfish beings but that in essence, we are a part of superorganisms that drive us to selflessness and our moral natures.

In this episode, I explore Durkheim's idea of how collective emotions pull us into the sacred realm, and then I look at the two ways in which we stimulate these collective emotions.

The first is through collective actions or circumstances such as what is found on an army drill field, in a church congregation singing, or the movement of a sports crowd. We can also feel collective emotions when we feel ourselves being part of something greater such as being in a vast and impressive wilderness area or when under the influence of drugs such as psilocybin.

The other is in the language we use inside the collective. Here I will draw on the language within Christianity that fosters the idea of coming together as a superorganism.

Lastly, I look at some evidence for the superiority of religious beliefs in forming cohesive groups.

In this episode, I just wanted to stop and clarify a bit more what is meant by calling a superorganism an entity and the benefits and dangers that happen when we use language that personifies superorganisms to being in the same category as individual humans.

In the sci-fi novel Voyage From Yesteryear, author James P Hogan explores what could happen when a governmentally structured society from Earth comes in contact with a stateless society like the one described as being on the planet Chiron. I found this book fascinating and it gave me a lot to think upon and ponder.



Some of the content I explore in this episode are:

Our drive to educate others.

Our drive for recognition and status within society.

Who should be the boss/in charge of what?

Competence as a currency.

Enticement and Inspiration vs Education and Force

The nature of government

In this interview, I talk with Rachel who is a mum with three children here in North Canterbury. I got to know Rachel about a year ago when we both had an interest in starting a democratic school. In the meantime, our views have shifted more towards a natural learning/unschooling approach. Rachel shares about how her views on respectful parenting have led her to the unschooling approach to life and education.
