Why would someone give into their primordial desires when we have the God-given ability to be conscientious about our actions, and as a result, the consequences they pose on not only ourselves but others as well?
What truly separates a human from any other animal?
We have the ability to instill ourselves with a moral landscape that allows us to pick "right" and "wrong".
We are no better than an animal if we act only on instinct and waste our conscious ability.
Perfectly said brother. Every time you are faced with a choice, and decide based on your "natural biological instinct" instead of based on what God has commanded, you are falling into a momentary form of idolatry, placing something (human nature) even above God.
I'm not familiar with the work of Aaron Renn, I'll check him out brother. Thanks for reading! I completely agree, definitely a part of the human experience, but not the driving force, nor the ultimate hierarchy of values and explanations to human behavior. If it were, we'd not be human, but just like any other animal.
The redpill is good to know, it is just the assumptions that are made and ways of living that are recommended that are bad for us as brothers in Christ.
Very sobering and true article! Are you familiar with similar ideologies like the “black pill” or “MGTOW?” Are they different enough from the red pill to warrant discussion on as well?
I think they're all sides of the same coin tbh. I speak about "red-pill" somewhat loosely, meaning all these new right-wing ideologies that still place the individual at the top of the hierarchy and use moral compasses different than the only true one which is The Law and The Gospels.
"No better than a dog".

Late to this, but it is a profound article. In Biblical terms, the hypergamy/red pill doctrine is part of the flesh or the world.
Does it have some explanatory power? Sure - but it’s not the rule of life for Christians. Aaron Renn has done well on this topic.
In a well-ordered world, even a “low-status” man can be the “alpha” in his own house, and meaningfully contribute as a leader.

Love this article brother
God is the truth
No matter what others say. He knows all.

Agreed my brother. Understand it, but follow the righteous path. God bless!
