Lets not forget there are millions of people thinking that messianic technocrats like Elon Musk are about to whisk them away to Mars to found a new Utopian society there. Or we could talk about the other messianic technocrats who think that AI will be the magic solution and bring in a Utopian society here. FYI - I am an aerospace engineer and I can tell you that the "new religion" of scientism is alive and thriving. 30+ years ago when I was in college we had a guest lecture by an alum one Friday. He'd just done a project/study into the practicality of terraforming Mars. He simply told us its impossible without god like powers. He explained some of the very simple aspects of it. One of those is just how much air you need. I use the example of a 1km thick layer and if you want I'll explain the math. It takes over 170 Trillion (with a 'T') tons of air just to put a 1km thick layer of Earth standard air around Mars. I once had a scientism clown tell me you'd only need the Oxygen (1/5th of the air) so I asked him: "Ok where are you getting 34.5 Trillion tons of Oxygen from?" I can give you other examples but trust me when I tell you the religious nutters are not alone on this planet when it comes to being M0R0Ns who believe in Utopian fantasy stories.

@thraxbottom549 That's actually right. There's plenty of people who have looked into it and its a horrible place for humans. Other than the lack of breathable air its incredibly cold and the radiation levels are lethal.

@rebeccaholcombe9043 Your right there's been psychologists who have said that its almost as if a belief in the divine is hard wired into the human brain. Other than those rare few I think there is a compulsion of sorts for people to want leadership and its easy for people to lose grasp of what a leader is and what an illusion of a leader is. How else do you explain how people follow after obvious charlatans? There's a great line by one of John Cleese's characters in the film "Life of Brian" They follow him into the desert and everything he does they proclaim as a miracle and declare him the Messiah while Brian keeps saying he isn't the Messiah. At one point Cleese's character proclaims "I say he is the Messiah and I should know I've followed a few!" I think that sums up most of humanity pretty well.
