I’ve been trying to think a lot more about “building community” lately, and I think this person hits on something which is just that the current American system sort of since the eighties has been so focused on career progression and self-enrichment, not that it’s bad, but it’s interesting that the there are such dualities in our values.

But also, every year or two I try going to a church, but I wonder if the beliefs or practices largely don’t make sense.

On the one hand, I fantasize about going to some super conservative thousand year old European cathedral, and I do feel like there would be a sense of wonder in that.

But going to a suburban mega church and listening to Christian Rock doesn’t cut it.

I’ve been looking for some kind of thing to study. I picked up the Harvard classics series, maybe something like that would be interesting to build a faith group around? But yeah…
