Short clip of a rant I filmed last night.
Reflecting on the dangers of ideology and belief systems. So many people are caught up in the isms and schisms of life today that they lose sight of what being human is all about. It’s not called being for no reason.

Fully agree.
Is this characteristic fundamentally innate or programmed?
Obviously the latter is true, but the I'm not certain about the former.
The ultimate solutions (or non-solutions) depend on the answer to that question, IMO.
Evolution is the culprit for the most part when it comes to why we are pulled toward ideological and tribalistic ways of thinking.
But evolution clearly has not just stopped there for us. We have immense complexity, depth, brain capacity, and an incomprehensible ability to imagine things at any moment. This includes new ways of thinking, and that is both the problem and the point I am making in the first place.
Ideology takes that away from you because it gives you a prepackaged belief system. To the degree that you place your trust in this supposed truth, you are simultaneously forfeiting your ability to change or to hold an alternative perspective.
