      Sadly, those same instincts to form nonsensical cults is also how we cooperated well enough and long enough to get to where we are now as a species.

          For sure.

          When you figure out how to keep people from falling into toxic cults that want nothing more than to manipulate their followers and/or end humanity, let me know.

          People who improve past the lizard brain/stone age way of thinking to escape from and recognize cults, generally aren’t the kind of people who we’re worried about in the first place.
