I made this post on X, and the following was Grok AI’s “explanation” of it…
It is due to the unevolved spiritual nature of humanity that social rules must exist at all.
Grok AI:
- Britton W. Frost’s statement reflects a philosophical view tied to his background as a philosopher, suggesting that humanity’s spiritual immaturity necessitates social rules, a perspective supported by a 2018 study in Journal of Personality and Social Psychology showing moral development correlates with reduced reliance on external governance.
- This idea challenges the mainstream assumption that social norms arise solely from practical needs, proposing instead a spiritual evolution deficit, echoed in historical debates like those of Rousseau, who linked societal structures to human imperfection.
- The post aligns with a 2023 cross-cultural survey by the World Values Study, indicating 62% of respondents in developed nations perceive a decline in spiritual awareness, potentially justifying Frost’s call for inner growth over imposed regulations.
I must say, I really do just make stuff up, but I also know that if studies would/could be done on the stuff I make up, it would absolutely be verified. It’s cool how you can know stuff without knowing stuff.
