I tried to explain this to the kids after camping last month.

The electronic world we live in was built and is synthetic in nature. It can reflect lies just as easily as truth.

But out in the woods, with no signals, it's just Truth. Water is cold, fire burns, night is dark.

# Matthew 4 — Jesus Is Tested in the Wilderness

Jesus was led into the wilderness by the Holy Spirit to be tested and prepared for His Ministry.

The city is the refuge of Adam in exile, built by Cain after he killed his brother Abel.

The first culprit was civilization. Progression to a more developed civilization mandates the loss of maturity and retention of juvenile characteristics. We are near the end game. See the infantilization of society.

Look to those who are the least civilized to show how your ancestors acted and thought. Survival is universal and all groups share the same behaviors.

The Industrial Revolution was the pivotal instrument in shaping our present world. It destroyed traditional relationships between men and women and separated them from the land to which they belong and they have been shattered ever since.

It is both because of the soviet occupation as well as, quite ironically enough, the reaction to it and their independence.

The soviets endorsed state atheism, but the official orthodox church in Estonia was in rurn sponsored by the soviets. Most Estonians associate the orthodox church with Russia and the soviet union which they do not like

Alongside this, the baltics have a severe "we really want to be western" problem which has made them by and large latch onto western degenerate behavior in an attempt to reject the ussr and Russia. Which has caused them to reject religion in general. Ironically the most Christian baltic area is the one that was "established" as a soviet exclave, kaliningrad.

But this has failed. If you go to talinn or Riga, you see the beauty of the city and its livelihood, and then you travel right outside and see the dilapidated infrastructure of the soviet union that pock marks the entire region. A time of great repression but also a time when these nations could produce anything at all. In a desperate bid to remove themselves from the influence of their eastern neighbors, they have lost any semblance of autonomy whatsoever, their infrastructure, their religion, and their way of life. They have traded being soviet polities with being western ones.

And the great architecture of Europe is the beauty of God in nature reflected in the creation of men. Cities weren't always hellscapes of concrete and glass, they used to draw us up to a higher order, too

Interesting to think of atheism and agnosticism as "overdosing on technology" (cities). I wonder how much atheism / agnosticism correlate with enthusiasm for technology, living in a city, being deprived of experiences in nature, etc.
