The Search for Meaning Is What's Driving the Religious Frenzies
The search for meaning is what's driving this, these religious frenzies that are now not religious anymore so much as political because we still only really believe in the sensory pleasure. And yeah, conspiracies just re reinforce the consumer model and it takes you from a point of action to telling yourself "this system doesn't provide for me anymore" But again, it's entertainment is the thing and that's fine. It doesn't work as a political organizing tool and it needs to be understood that way.
