Yeah, that was in the 3-way video I mentioned. Religious folks fail the first and third of the four attributes of the "sheep": (1) feeling socially isolated (3) feeling no purpose in life.

That's the analytical way of saying: I'm loving the religious people, even if I'm not one of them.

We “ religious “ people live by faith not fear, I had a very strong discernment, which comes from the spiritual, that this was a scam on day one. I have Never been fearful. I also think my healthcare background was of some assistance. Hang in there people.

Well, my friend, I too "had a very strong discernment, which comes from [see below], that this was a scam on day one. I have Never been fearful. I also think my healthcare [passion and knowledge] was of some assistance."

Before the "mass formation psychosis" model, I would have identified "my education" as the source of my "very strong discernment".

But then the experts (Doc Malone and the Belgian dude) explained that it is precisely the over-educated who fall for this scam hook line and sinker.

So what was it in me? Clue is that my two over-educated sisters both line up with us.

My best guess? My sisters and I were raised in a factory town by blue collar parents. We grew up with a vague but profound suspicion of the rich people -- the owners of the factories and their lawyers -- who lived on a hill at the edge of town.

That suspicion has stayed with me, and apparently my sisters, through our migration to the white collar society.
