I think there is no shortage of stuff people believe right now that 100 years from now will be proof we all have light to moderate head injuries. Not that there will be a 100 years from now if we don't stop passionately believing in Miracle Bubbles(TM) and start making real moves in the actual world. Yeah I know that leaving the world of beliefs for the world of the actual might be too much of a big step for a society built on billboards and wistful feelings. (Note to self: maybe paying lots of close attention to the news is fucking up my world view? Problemly.)
Look in a book shop and you will learn people want to learn how to brush up their attitude so they can make a million bucks they won't know what to do with. Or maybe they want to learn how to live an 'authentic' life, as if this one ending in death isn't enough realism. Anything but what is real is for sale and that's because what is real is for free. We've been trained to expect to pay for everything by first wasting our time at jobs. "May I please exchange my time for this book chock full of time management tips? Thanks."
Hey don't get me wrong, I haven't filled the hole created by my lack of belief with fresh, new made up beliefs, I'm not some hippy who escapes society only to become a festival frequenting fuckwit. Anyway, I fill the hole by attempting to methodically alter my mental state to approximately how a human might feel if they weren't surrounded by people who have intense beliefs as a replacement for logic and/or thinking.
