What if this was true

Millions of people watched the Zeitgeist movies online. The point was that we have no idea what is really going on in the world. They say we are deluded. Our money system is based on faith, our politics on corruption. Corporations control the world, and we are their pawns. Religions are systems of human control, and the only way out is to: reject the monetary system, refuse to support large companies, and join their website!

The creators of the films believe the earth could become a utopia by using science and technology. A large computer and advanced machines will provide us with food and energy, in a symbiotic relationship with the earth. We will no longer have to work, and can instead focus on ourselves and our families.

Probably wrong though.

They never discussed the brain, part of which is a delusion generator, creating simplistic analogies that make sense out of the world(Animals analogies less complicated?) Our brain simplifies concepts with a worldview that makes the most sense out of your information. If a delusion is successful in making sense of the world, and the person who believes it reproduces, the worldview could pass onto the next generation. Survival of the fittest delusions.
When stimulated, part of the brain produces almost a religious experience. The participant claims a euphoria of connectedness and understanding of the world. Atheists reject religion because it doesn't line up with their life experiences, so they create a future in which humans develop technology to fix problems. These are kind of like religious ideas in a different way, with placeholders called "black holes" and "magnetic fields" instead of "God" and "heaven". Both placeholders are only names for things we don't understand, and there are many people on both the religious and atheistic side that incorrectly assume because we have names for things, we know what they are. We still don't know the nature of light, matter, gravity, and the more we discover, the more we realize how little we know.

Religion and atheism and philosophy and art and science look forward to a perfect world, using different definitions, placeholders, and systems of delusion to give lives meaning. Almost every generation believed their ancestors to be simplistic and deluded. Our technology is really just an example of excellent pattern recognition, and although recognizing systems of delusion might be really "aware", you are probably no more likely to understand the world as it really is. The more you know, the more you realize you don't, which isn't bad. The best we can do is find a "delusion" that makes sense of the world to us.

Chuang Tse said: "Those whom heaven helps we call the sons of heaven. They do not learn this by learning. They do not work it by working. They do not reason it by using reason. To let understanding stop at what cannot be understood is a high attainment. Those who cannot do it will be destroyed on the lathe of heaven."

Maybe we should assume everyone else knows they are just messing about, and that they aren't really serious. You could treat everything as bullshit except human connection.
