This was a amazing essay Jared, thank you. And thank you for introducing me to Zizek's "big other" idea. I have had a very immature version of this idea myself for years, and have been looking for where I could read more about it. I knew somebody else had to share this concept

[@pizzacheeseman2854]

I’ve always been fascinated about how the most ideological centrists and moderates see themselves as and their worldview as inherently non-ideological and rational.

[@FINNSTIGAT0R]

I've been fascinated about people thinking they can find the "right way of living", from ideologies. All big ideologies are nothing but utopian thinking, and if followed dogmatically, they all become dystopian, every single one of them. I'm fascinated by the US, since in the US there's always large ideological groups and fights between them. The US really seems to love it's ideologies and to fight over them in perpetuity, while very little change at federal level ever occurs.

[@Mouse2379]

I can only speak for myself, but as a moderate that loathes the extremes of right and left I think the thing that separates ideologues from non ideologues is certainty. Ideologues are just as self righteous as the worst religious zealot. There is no changing their dogma because it has become their divine text that cannot be doubted, let alone edited. It’s not possessing beliefs that makes one an ideologue. It’s being possessed by beliefs that do the job.

[@iExploder]

@@FINNSTIGAT0RHaving ideas about how better to organize society most often results in a better society. The end of history never arrived and will never arrive until the heat death of the universe. I don't understand the view of the centrist who looks upon an imperfect world and denies that improvements can or should ever be made. We would still be in caves and dying of numerous unspeakable diseases if that were the opinion humanity settled upon early on in its history.

[@FINNSTIGAT0R]

@@iExploder Where do you get the idea, that a more moderate view couldn't lead into a better society? Ideologies in my opinion are an obstacle in making changes, when people start to follow their ideologies like they're more important than actual results. With ideologies there always comes utopian thinking, the thinking that a blueprint for a better tomorrow has been duscovered and now it just needs to be implemented, then all will be better. In actuality no such thing exists, never has, never will. It's good to have certain principles, but otherwise everything else should be open for discussion, as what's good for one is not that for other. Societies change because of many external and internal factors, and to tie yourself to an ideology, which has been made at a certain moment under the circumstances of that time, to me it just seems silly. And here I'm talking about BIG ideologies, like communism, laissez-faire capitalism, anarchism, libertarianism, islam, fundamentalist christianity etc. I couldn't align myself to a spesific idrology even if I tried, as my views are from the right and the left, I have conservative and progressive views. I'm not religious, but I see how religion is part of humanity as a whole.

[@americanliberal09]

Exactly. They're really no different than how most political ideologues portray themselves. 😎

[@onelucian]

Jared, please never stop. This is top quality stuff

[@mikekuhlman8009]

I think ideology and Heidegger's concept of "thrownness" are closely linked. Any being born into this world will seek to orient itself. That drive to find orientation or balance is potent because you can't ever feel "good" until it's resolved. Ideologies provide a path toward an individual's sense of worldly balance. Maybe a "balanced" world means mother earth is pleased. Maybe it means the individual ought be higher up in the pecking order. Regardless, each individual usually grows up with a sense that they've been brought into this world by pure incident, but the trajectory of their life is not incidental. I figure most people gravitate toward ideologies for mostly the same reason - it's easier than coming up with your own. Ideologies are just a convenient shorthand when one pursues that feeling of orientation after being "thrown" into being.

[@seek_reverie]

When speaking between Christian's, marxists, liberals, netizcheites, etc. I find the term worldview is better than any other. Religion is a worldview with particular emphasis on supernatural reality. Political ideology is a worldview with particular emphasis on politics realities. Worldviews emerge from economic, political, cultural metaphysical pillars, as in Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind by Yuval Noah Harari. I agree with "they live", everyone is and ought to be aware of the lenses we wear. You can't not have a worldview, you can only negotiate as best you can across belief systems, always open to abandon one lens for another that illuminates the world better, and lays its ideas flat on reality the best.

[@DRiungi]

this raises the question: can one wear multiple lenses at the same time?

[@rodylermglez]

Even without a rift or polarization everything that is human thought subsumes into ideology, and slinging it as a dirty word to describe the perverse worldview of your opposing tribes reveals an ignorance of your own biases and worldview. That Bush speech sure shows plenty of that ignorance and Fukuyama's prediction about the state of the world and its history couldn't had been more wrong because his tenets were, unbeknownst to him, ideological. Probably the best legacy that the nascent metamodernist philosophy will leave is the understanding that ideology shapes the myths and narratives that we tell ourselves even in the absence of competing worldviews.

Finally! Now I understand my discomfort with modern politics. It’s no longer a group of people coming together to produce an environment conducive to the most well being in society. It’s “turf wars” between two (or more) sets of ideological lenses. It’s also why I don’t quite get the obsession with the word “woke” and why I don’t think “woke” is a thing just like I don’t think “great again” is a thing either. I don’t think “cancel culture” is a real concept either. To me it’s all just thought stopping code for people who want to “own the libs” or visa versa.

[@runswithraptors]

Not sure I buy your point that ecologists/environmentalists have a God like relationship with their "big other" because it is in the best interest for all life on Earth since the health of our ecosystems directly affects the health of the people. It's not about moral concepts like those in the Ten commandments but more about not shitting where you eat and live. Instead our economic systems necessitate and encourage short term profit seeking and short term thinking at the detriment to human and environmental health.

Most of the world are just children disguised as adults. Regardless of political affiliation or class systems most people behave as school children trying to fit in, and that usually involves putting someone(s) else down to feel good about yourself, or feel better about yourself to take off heat. I agree when you say both sides just make fun of the other rather than do something about it. In my experience talking to most people I have notice a grey area or one in the middle. Few are on extreme opposite sides. They become annoying. The other if you will doesn't have to be a diety telling us what to do or be our overlords. I believe they are to be our guides. A good guide, cuz the what I see is not leading by example as how you said, talk about helping the poor, but not doing it.

most depression is from attaching one's value to an external result... and most depression only amplifies if those ideals are met.

Now I see I was too smart to fall for it, but the world wasn't smart enough to admit it was lying.

The biggest flaw when it comes to humans in today's era is that we promote individual growth and success over that of society as a whole. The reason humans have overcome everything and is standing on the top is our ability to share and understand information to our kids more then just whats genetically inherited.

Netflix shows that do this: - Orange is the New Black - Bojack Horseman - 13 Reasons Why - Dead to Me Disney media that does this: - Star Wars (kinda lol) - Cruella (2021) - probably a Marvel property or two, I haven't thought about this very hard tbh

[@bewing77]

While I think you’re making some compelling points, I do think the foundational assumption for the argument, that “wokeness” is a religious faith is accepted with far to little underpinning, effectively just making the claim. And while it’s certainly true that in the (especially online) left as a group there exists plenty of purity testing and gatekeeping, if you look at the actual positions that are considered leftnleaning taken on various issues they’re underpinned by reason rather than faith. This is illustrated well by how even people who start out right leaning very rarely can expose themselves to higher education in social sciences without moving decidedly to the left on most issues. Sure, there exists people who have assumed leftism for identity reasons and don’t understand the foundations of the issues they accept, but the foundations still exist. The issue further becomes hard to discuss reasonably in the Context of US politics, since the political landscape is skewed to the right from the outset in absolute terms. This is identified by how the leftist mainstream position is a decidedly liberal party, the democrats, whe liberalism is clearly a right wing ideology with foundational values such as free market capitalism and individual property rights. In standard political analysis the view on these two areas is the determining factor between the right and the left, where left wing ideologies such as socialism see capitalism and private property as the critical flaws of society. This isn’t a dimension that even exists in American political discourse and this may be a reason the so called cultural issues have become much more prevalent: when both political alternatives essentially agree on how society should foundationally work, what’s left as fighting positions are the “soft issues”. This is quite interesting since to the small group of people who are tsking ownership of an increasing part of all wealth it’s critical that the foundations does not change, while they couldn’t care less about issues like immigration, LGBTQ+ acceptance, racism or gun ownership. Indeed, they’re quite happy people are occupied with fighting over those issues because the one thing they absolutely can’t allow is for people to stop fighting over those and instead realizing something is foundationally wrong when 1% of the people own more than the entirety of the middle class or that some drastic changes will need to happen to avert ecological disaster. So, politicians who are prepared to ignore any structural issues and instead perpetuate the “culture war”, regardless of party are the ones becoming individually wealthy by doing what the ultra rich wants, that is making sure that people are kept divided over ideological boundaries, virtually guaranteeing that no significant changes to the core of society can ever happen.

[@wyattcole5452]

The right itself has gradually moved left on issues, but when the left moves far too left then there’s obviously a problem, we’re a leftist country with leftist foundations with a society actively becoming more leftist, it makes perfect sense that educated republicans are more left-leaning than less-educated republicans. But many in the left have shifted so far left that classic liberals are conservative extremists to them, common sense and reality itself is extreme hatred and bigotry. Where are you supposed to go from here?

[@shaneriggs6678]

The social sciences are not hard sciences and have been increasing taken over by neoMarxist over the decades. Wokeness is technically marxist 2.0 now focusing on identity politics and is more able to blend into a liberal society like a parasite it's still marxist but it doesn't try to start a workers revolution instead they infected higher education and take over everything from there, Democrats and corporations view them as useful idiots

I think the party system itself is flawed. A lot of politicians and other political workers are forced to tow the party line as parties attempt to gather power, and adding a third party to the mix will likely only add a third rift within the nation then mend the two we have now. I'd rather we focus on breaking down the current party system, and making it so that the politicians are more encouraged to work together as a whole to create fair solutions, and discouraging the creation of factions that slowly grow against each other as they vie for power. Also, removing the parts of the system that encourage economic value over serving the people would help a lot too.

I just found Mr Bauer here and I think he makes fascinating videos! "It's not a God-shaped hole, nor is it an ideology-shaped hole. It's an authority-shaped hole." What I wonder is, could this be a bit of a false sorting system? All of them could be holes of sorts. I think people could be predisposed towards God/ideology/authority, in any mixture. Sure, most people (maybe all) care about their reputation -- Mark Leary calls this self-measurement our 'sociometer'. And something like a 'big other' can influence the form of our desire to preen our reputation. The thing in the back of our heads during depressive episodes. But the weird, seemingly superstitious forms a lot of our rituals take (like how a lot of Atheists get sucked into Astrology, or the extremes of postmodernism, including DEI drum sessions at uni)--personally I think a tendency toward something religious describes that better than consumer/enjoyment culture. I do agree with most of the points in the video, including that ideology is often kind of a costume to get approval, a tribe-signalling performance that is overlaid over our nature--and the more fundamental nature is about getting approval from the mob--or the big other, as Lacan might call it.
