If the metric is how warm and fuzzy it makes you feel that your brain is tuned the same way as hundreds of other people than they are likely very effective.
Damn I haven't heard that but that makes sense.

my generation completely missed the mark on why churches and religions exist.
Ive loved watching people who rebelled against christianity in the 70s and 80s immediately devote themselves to a new religion (climate change) that said that its jesus was going to come and kill them all around the same time the bibles jesus said it would.

thats why i call politics a religion.

Religion just meant government before we had a word for government.
