People don't want to be ignorant, they want to feel smart, but they aren't for the most part. Most people just like hearing things to parrot back to have something to say. 5 year olds love coming home from school feeling smart because they learned that FIRE ENGINES ARE RED or some kind of dumb thing like that, and if the teacher told them fire engines were purple or black they'd tell the same information to anybody whod listen with the same enthusiasm.
If you can manipulate children you can manipulate adults, and if you keep the adults stupid you dont even have to try too hard.
Every cult member believes they have some kind of special knowledge that nobody else has. The harder you believe something the more you believe anyone who disagrees with you is an idiot.
Im not religious but Im not shitting on religious people. People in the mainstream are manipulated the same way cults work. They run high school psychology classes about the studies theyve done in terms of manipulating people in groups.
IIN that I like antagonising those religious preachers with satanism?

Nobody really knows anything, I feel like.
