    Yeah. This is something I keep realizing.

    So many people simply seek to ‘support’ their tribe/idols. Scientific debate isn’t the point; loyalty and conformity is.

    It’s a feature of a lot of religious culture. And, in an oddly similar way, influencer culture.

    And there is absolutely nothing you can do about it unless there’s a really huge personal connection/issue.

      Its like the popular culture right now is just being seen. Being seen sticking to your faith, sticking to your commitment or truth. Being seen rooting for your side to show that you dont care what anyone else says.

      Everyone needs to be seen and seems to think this is how they get rewarded for their faith, heck it works somewhat.

      These are the people that seek things “to have their ears tickled” instead of ingesting the truth of the matter.
