"“If [transgenderism] is false, then for the good of society, transgenderism must be eradicated from public life entirely – the whole preposterous ideology,” he said. "
Mr Knowles has said in the past that his rhetoric isn’t genocidal because he doesn’t believe trans people exist, Jezebel noted.
“There can’t be a genocide,” he said on his programme last week, adding that “it’s not a legitimate category of being. They’re labouring under a delusion. And so we need to correct that delusion”.
The exact same thing could be said for the ‘my sky fairy is the true real one’ ideologies. Monotheism is a brain disease.
I’d argue even organized theism and even seemingly banal exercises of worship like heralding political leaders are a brain disease. “Strong men” are almost always bad men.
A lesser brain disease than monotheism for sure, but they are all fruit from the same poisoned tree.
Belief(*) in and of itself is detrimental to a persons perception of reality. It doesn’t matter if it’s Christianity, some other monotheism, budhism, the belief in Karma, rebirth, homeopathy, essential oils, nationalism, political tribalism or flat earth.
All these things exist as memes, as mind-viruses that can be transmitted and change, they are subject to evolution (survival of the most convincing/rememberable) and to competition. They all have another thing in common: they weaken your immune system (your critical thinking skills) and make you more susceptible to other infections.
(*)Belief: The state of being convinced of something that has been proven not to be in accordance to objective reality.
