PHILOSOPHY: Why is Self Control Sinful to Progressives?

The Dynamic Duo known as "Based Camp" come out with yet another doosey of a video, this one on a topic very near and dear to my heart: the refusal by "progressives" to acknowledge the critical importance of self control. The issue is philsophical, but the implications are very political.

We discuss how modern progressive culture glorifies losing self-control, pursuing pleasure/happiness as the highest aim in life, and avoiding discomfort. We contrast this with historical and conservative values around self-mastery, overcoming fear/anxiety, and finding meaning by improving future generations. We argue the progressive view diminishes human potential and actual happiness.

YOUTUBE: Empaths You Need to Know This to Heal pt. 2

Jungian Shadow Work

I posted Part 1 of this, and forgot about Part 2! 

While she's coming at this healing from a New Age, earth-centric perspective,  she is very accurate in regards to understanding empaths.  Sadly, Christianity has no language for they type of resonant energy she's talking about, except for vague, loosely defined concepts of "love", but it makes more sense to talk about energy in regards to human relationships and interactions for various reasons, but most importantly we all have a greater intuitive understanding of energy, especially our own lack or surplus of energy, than we do of love.   It's sad, but true.

Her two talks, about 30 minutes total, is more valuable than a year's worth of Sunday sermons.  However, there is of course one glaring mistake:  humans cannot tap into themselves in terms of finding a source of goodness, love and abundance.  That source is external, not internal, and to truly be a force of love and goodness, one must follow the wisdom of Western Civilization, and tap into the ultimate source of all these things: God himself.   God = Love.   But, other than that, she's spot on in most of her diagnosis and understanding.
