How does the technology of religious mind control fit into evolution?
Why would mind control techniques exist if evolution was a fact? How did some people know ways to create and control other peoples thinking?
Humans are social animals. We live in groups, have always lived in groups, and have always responded to group activity. If you bang a drum or play music, humans will collectively follow the beat with each other. No other group of animals can do this, not as a group – it’s uniquely human. No other animal conforms to group behaviors as deeply or as simply as humans and this trait has served our species quite well as a huge evolutionary advantage.
Of course, a slick individuals can manipulate this behavior because we’re such hypnosis machines – that’s why advertising works. People believe things because they want to (or they’re told what to believe, or they’re just mimicking their group’s beliefs). Once a belief is entrenched people conform to the group because that’s what we do. It’s not just religion, it’s politics, advertising, contrived want, brand loyalty – continuing belief beyond all reason.
We’re all bozos on this bus…….
