Jem, To Kill a Mockingbird
Plymouth UK
Mother committed herself to an asylum
Has a twin sister
Parents had a strained marriage
Remembers Tim Lee’s story
Always a timid, weak child
Diagnosed with clinical depression
Late teens the whole rave thing was kicking off
Started with pot and recreational drugs like LSD, ecstasy,
A-levels: tests to qualify for university
Mediocre a-levels
Parents were authoritarian and very left wing
Around 20 his dad diagnosed with cancer and his mother became an alcoholic
The first time at university, the first lesson was on Derrida
Then Plato and Nietzsche
Plato was positive. Nietzsche beat the crap out of him
The genealogy of moral sentiments.
Jem had been raised a Christian.
Niezsche’s attack on Christianity is psychological. Born out of Judaism as they were dominated by the Romans. The morality that came out of Judaism into Christianity is slave morality.
Master and Slave morality
The negative psychological aspects of Christianity. The morality of the weak, the downtrodden the broken…
Gazing up at Christianity wishing to become one
It got me to look at myself, some of these characteristics he saw within himself, weakness and resentment
That shattered his faith.
It was a wakeup call.
Toxic resentment was growing in him.
I didn’t lose my faith, i ripped it out and threw it in the gutter.
I felt unworthy of God
Once you doubt one system of belief you can doubt all other. It happened in a matter of hours
Not only the branch you’re sitting on but all the branches on the way down. The descent into nihilism
Resentment is going to manifest in classical marxist terms
It didn’t take too much of a hold because of the pot smoking
15 years, a little, every day
Jonathan Haidt
Politics should be an application not an orientation
Dad died of the cancer when he was 22, mother died of alcoholism about a year later
Lived in parents house, did pot, dabbled in rave scene
The next 12 years, tried jobs, minimum wage jobs, buy a small house,
About 5 years ago trained to become a counselor.
Applied to a college, accepted, 2 year course, two tutors,
One was a textbook social justice warrior
In Britain a piece of law passed: equality and diversity act of 2010
Had a couple of days where they were taught this
On these two days they were taught feminism, anti-racism, all white people were racist, critical theory,
He protest voted most of his life
When she came out with this it stirred something deep in him.
British national party is a racist political party
Accused of projecting his racism onto them…
Monty Python Witch test
Discovered Youtube hundreds of hours anti-feminism stuff…
Eventually then Jordan Peterson comes along
He ticks off all these boxes
Through him he effectively tried to become a Christian
Watched Solzhenitzen’s Harvard address
The reason why Communism was so destructive was when people abandoned God
Started going to a local church
He failed. It didn’t work. Won’t call himself a Christian now.
Eric, conversion, Tim Keller, admiring someone
JBP provides justifications for Christianity
Church Of England injected with secular morality
They were downplaying the morality. Having watched JBP the secular influence was diminishing their Christianity
By playing down the morality they were diminishing it.
Non-judgmentalism
I couldn’t quite convert because his faith was weak
Finding out whether something you say is true. When you say something true you feel together. When it isn’t true you feel spread-out, detached and weak
Really an agnostic
You don’t want to lie about that.
