The world is yearning for a new religion, similar to the yearning for Christianity in the Roman empire.

Personally I wish people could become more obsessed with being right, instead of being obsessed with having the right ideology.

Sadly I think the neurology of your typical human isn't suited for this behaviour.

People are so obsessed with being right that they’re unwilling to be wrong. It undercuts your whole vision.

The odds that you were raised right into an accurate model of the cosmos is quite low. Hence to be right you have to be able to change your mind all the time.
