"They honestly believe that God made the whole earth in their image." So true, not to mention a complete inversion of the Biblical "God made people in His image." As Jerome Kagan wrote in The Nature of the Child, there is a natural tendency to assume that two people share some similarities, then they must share others. This is the basis of a child's identification with a parent, etc. However, it seems that Peele has put his finger on the negative aspects of this tendency.
for all its hot air about "smashing the ego", 12-step is the epitome of ego-centrism. you're inherently trapped within an 'alcoholic' self & your only means of release are: a) god (who you 'create' for yourself); b) reliance on (& unity[?] with) an equally self-absorbed 'group'; c) a lifetime of navel-gazing.
I'm becoming addicted to Dr. Peele! LOL! Actually his statements seem to say that we all are different, and thus no matter what the addiction or cure; it may only be detrimental or effective to varying degrees, depending on each person's unique personal experience. ummmm or something like that, heh! Be well.
You need to watch my videos about XXY's Intersex people and gender issues and I think you'll change your mind. I use drugs for treatment, the very same drugs others used for abuse.
