Regarding cults, I often recall talking to serial Jehovah’s Witnesses and after a while, the common trait was that they always had to defer their answer to consulting someone higher or deeper in their web when they were confronted with a thought that went beyond their margin. Somewhere there may have been lurking the shared fear of outsiders, but this characteristic of deferring to an expert authority seemed a common feature. This resonates with your crusade against robots. The recent charade to “follow the science” was the march of the robots to follow Fauci, in favor of actual science that is always testing the hypothesis …and eschewing the traditional view, or pronouncement by self-proclaimed authority.

Regarding cults, I often recall talking to serial Jehovah’s Witnesses and after a while, the common trait was that they always had to defer their answer to consulting someone higher or deeper in their web when they were confronted with a thought that went beyond their margin. Somewhere there may have been lurking the shared fear of outsiders, but this characteristic of deferring to an expert authority seemed a common feature. This resonates with your crusade against robots. The recent charade to “follow the science” was the march of the robots to follow Fauci, in favor of actual science that is always testing the hypothesis …and eschewing the traditional view, or pronouncement by self-proclaimed authority.
