>>40272196I am not denying the experiences of millions of people. I am saying that these experiences do not change what a person is and I wont be calling a male a female, ever in my life. As for the consensus of "medical professionals", dont make me laugh. That would assume I respect scientists but as time goes on it is clear that the field of science is wrought with many ailments that hold true science back. This ranges from the replication crisis (1) to p-hacking, to conflicts of interest, and even to straight up fraud. Science, like all aspects of human organization, is as corruptible as any other endevour, and as time goes on this becomes more clear to the average person. As James Corbett, internet doctumentatian would put it "So, in short: Yes, there is a Replication Crisis in science. And yes, it is caused by a Crisis of Fraud. And yes, the fraud is motivated by a Crisis of Publication. And yes, those crises are further compounded by a Crisis of Peer Review." (2)
In liberal society we are trained to examine everything with a critical eye. Some would say (2) that this is the genesis of our prosperity and cultural advancement. But this self critical nature can also lead to liberal society tearing themself apart after all this advancement. At some point there has to be some acknowledgement that the traditional values that have guided us for so long are not oppressive forces, but put in place for a very good reason by the collective wisdom of out past ancestors. For this reason, I dont care about how they did it 500 years ago in another part of the world. Because I dont live there. And i dont value what they value

In the end, Duchesne’s book is less a lament for a lost civilization than a challenge to it. If the West is to avoid ruin, he suggests, it must reassert the particular consciousness that made its greatness possible
