If my goal was to duplicate my perspective in some student or even some AI, the last lessons would be on politics. Everything else needs to come before that.

Fixing the money will move the ball well up field.

It's not going to fix certain bloody situations that are religiously motivated.

That's going to require a whole other black swan event besides Bitcoin.

Maybe there's a black swan event simmering on someone's range top right now...

Very very few conflicts are actually religiously motivated.

This idea that religion is behind all these conflicts is just mainstream media propaganda to promote imperialism.

Religion is being scapegoated more often than not.

Like look at how the mainstream media is saying that Boko Haram are committing genocide against Christians in Nigeria when in reality 95% of their victims are Muslims and the group are actually war lord drug traffickers that gets high on heroin and cocaine before slaughtering civilians.

Imagine if Mexican drug cartels were always referred to as "Catholic extremists"

Look at Sudan, the rapid support forces are literally just mercenaries employed by the UAE.

Look at Gaza where Israel bombed every single Christian church as well as every single mosque etc.

None of these conflicts are actually religiously motivated.

It's always about imperialism and resource extraction and religion gets scapegoated

Don't get me wrong, religious people are generally easier to manipulate because they are less likely to question the authority of those in positions of power within religious institutions BUT other than that, it's all just scapegoating and propaganda to distract from the real motivations, control over resources usually being number one

Well, if the goal is to have world peace, even "very very few" is too much so we're still gonna have to sort this out.

FWIW, I've got like 6+ years of Alex Jones podcasts under my belt and I'm on month 34 of an ongoing research bender into every religion. Here's what I've found:

Every religion contains cosmic truths, distortions of cosmic truths, nonsensical baggage, and its own lingo. Most people never take it upon themselves to go learn the ways and words of their neighbors around the world, let alone their actual neighbors.

The problem isn't the religions though. It's the religious dogmatists who are lazy and egotistical and think that their side is righteous and everyone else is wrong.

Everyone is right and wrong. The line runs through each tradition. The dogmatism is what leads to all the conflict.
