Indeed.

Not that it’s my field, but I wouldn’t be shocked if this has a lot to do with the human propensity to fall for religion.

Many humans actually have genetic traits that make them more likely to become religious [citation needed].

I suspect religion is interchangeable.

I recall a research case a decade or so back, where they took a huge Apple fan and showed him Apple logos and products while doing an MRI or something and his brain lit up the same way a religious persons brain would when you show them religious iconography, like a cross.

Some people are simply followers, doesn’t matter what.

Some people like to exploit that, such as Trump and Joe Rogan. Surprised they’re not peddling NFT’s and Crypto.

Let me drop this quote here:

“Right-wing politics describes the range of political ideologies that view certain social orders and hierarchies as inevitable, natural, normal, or desirable …”

Trump was peddling nfts and crypto

Good. Seems I blocked enough Trump news not to notice :D
