10 dangerous belief systems permeating society:

1. Scientism: The “Scientific Community” possesses superior knowledge of the natural world, “scientific consensus” should be accepted as gospel that we orient our lives around.

3. The Government Salvation Myth: The problems that are largely created by government and its supposed authority can be resolved through expanded government intervention and enhanced authority.

4. The Contagion Myth: Healthy individuals can become ill via exposure to sick people or their bodily fluids.

5. Our Body’s Limitations: Our bodies are flawed and lacking, requiring pharmaceuticals, injections, and surgeries to maintain health.

7. Earth’s Limitations: The Earth requires human intervention to overcome its supposed shortcomings; interfering with nature has no negative consequences.
