Yes group mentality can be a horrible thing indeed, with this tying into to the post above regarding science being a religion. If schools teach science, the religion without a god, but do not teach the religions with a god, they are essentially promoting religion in school which adds to the problem of group mentality and statism, but under the cover of progress. If people would see that they are one and the same they would see that the indoctrination of youth is already occuring at a mandated level. The brainwashing needs to be seen to stop it. I'd rather schools teach the truth rather than a lie for progress that leads to more control and less creation, with the truth being that reality is flexible. What was it called before it was called an ecosystem?The Tao, or more simply balance. Science simply steals, reinvents, and acts like it's something new. String theory has already been discovered by the religions of the northern way, the old runic religions, but it is being repeated like it's something new when it's certainly not, it's just new to the religion of science.
