Challenging Conservatism and the Just World Illusion
This chapter critiques conservatism as a legitimizing myth that upholds outdated norms rather than genuinely protecting societal truths. It explores the Just World Illusion, revealing how this belief comforts the upper class while perpetuating harm for the lower class, and discusses its implications on ideas of free will and systemic injustice. The conversation further engages with themes of suffering and divine justice, questioning traditional religious responses to evil and the paradox of free will within divine sovereignty.
