I wouldn’t normally do this, but I suspect this whole idea is an ugh field, and if so it should be dragged out and looked at.
Please could people downvoting, or even if you felt like downvoting but didn’t, say why. (Feel free to still downvote, but please comment).
Do you disagree that strict rules have been proposed about what we are allowed to believe/think about, or disagree with me that those rules are correct, or dislike how I communicated the point, or for another reason? Thanks.
You are being downvoted because you are making a poor comparison. In the context of the poster in question “what you are supposed to think” is due to 1) tribal allegiance and 2) pronouncements from authorities. That’s not the same thing as reasoned essays as to why one should think something.

You’re right. It was a poor comparison, I apologize.
