I really do speculate that there's this big physical buzzzzzzzzzzzzzz on that people get from ideology and they mistake that for something much greater/more-real than it is.

Also, the problem of how to guide by one's own lights (ideology, belief, motives, desire, wants, "the spirit", or whatever ... ) relative to "otherness" ("externalities", reality, difference, contradiction, alternative hypotheses, or whatever ... ), that problem self ther is avoided, feared, demonized, negated, or whatever works in order to pretend that one is in cognitive homeostasis and, THEREFORE, capable of survival . . . when, in fact, the opposite is true, because what is going on is more artificial than it is organic to one's actual self:world.
