29 days agoIn France, we literally call freedom of religion “freedom of cult” sometimes (and “freedom of conscience” some other times). I think it’s weird how different the connotations of “cult” and “religion” are nowadays. Too many people don’t realize that dictionaries record how words are used, they don’t define what they mean.
I suspect there is wisdom to be learned from forest management, specifically how regular, small controlled burns are how you avoid huge, unmanageable forest fires.
