When Your Greatest Strength Is Your Greatest Weakness

What we see in our minds is only a representation of what is out there in the world.However there is a symmetry in that the world we create is a representation of what is in our minds.The physical world determines what we perceive and likewise what we think determines our social world.The safety or fear we feel in society is the sum total of all the interactions of all the people in that society.However the sum total of all interactions are determined by the beliefs of a society's inhabitants.Religion and philosophy determine all people's lives.Ugly religions and ideologies produce ugly high entropy societies that people naturally move from and self actualized ideologies produce low entropy societies that people move to.However the superior ideology does not necessarily have the advantage but rather the disadvantage in the contest between high and low entropy societies.That is because people from less desirable societies will naturally move to the more desirable ones but never the other way around.In this way the desirable societies will become infested with high entropy ideas or religions.What should be an advantage has become a disadvantage and the greater the disparity in results the greater the pressure on the more successful society.
