When something feels fundamentally wrong, it paradoxically draws fervent followers.
In the vacuum of certainty left by the shock, the discomfort itself becomes sacred—fertile ground for cults and ideologies. Early adopters, sensing latent power, codify rituals and beliefs to dominate the narrative.
This isn’t mere delusion; it’s a survival instinct. Aligning with disruptive forces offers psychological relief and social leverage. More than error, it’s adaptation—our species’ capacity to sanctify the unknown when explanations fail. Such movements reveal not truth, but the alignment needed to assimilate; to anchor chaos with conviction.
