Hi @logiczombie,
Thank you for the support. I will share my thoughts on this topic to the best of my ability. I watched the video, and this is my perspective on ideologies/belief systems, and "truth."

I think this gentleman did a nice job of exploring these concepts in the video, and I really liked the concept of "super normal stimuli." To observe modern day society, and how normalized these stimuli are without much thought given, it's become like a facet of human evolution. When I was a child it was normal to hear "don't spend too much time on the screen, it's bad for your eye's", now it's normal for people to spend the majority of their existence on screens, and you simply don't hear statements like that anymore. Was it accurate? I don't know, but it seems logical that too much time on a screen is not good for your eyes.

My opinion on ideologies and polarization is maybe a little broad. I think there are some natural components present, intelligent species with the capabilities to think and reason are going to clash and disagree on things. I also think much of it is by design, to keep the polarization flaring. It is easier to control humans that are divided. (that would be an opinion I suppose, but a twig is easier to break than many twigs in a bundle)

It makes me think of the saying "I could sell a blind man sunglasses" What I hear is "I am good at manipulating people." Would sunglasses be any good to a blind man? Probably not, but given the right variables, a blind man might truly believe those glasses are good for him.

Truth in today's environment can be almost anything you want it to be, and there is plenty of information available to "piggyback" off of to prove ideologies.

What is true enlightenment? I'm just a mere human who does not have the answer. I think the wise realize how little they truly know.

Let's take the red pill, or maybe the grey one? ;)
