The core belief that drives terrorism is the notion of a "holy place," along with the idea that some people belong there and other people don't. That's why the only solution to terrorism is for religious scholars to hold a global summit to agree on the definition of "holy place." Once they agree on a definition, it will be easier to mock it into submission.
Scott AdamsWhat does it mean to be yourself?โ he asked. โIf it means to do what you think you ought to do, then youโre doing that already. If it means to act like youโre exempt from societyโs influence, thatโs the worst advice in the world; you would probably stop bathing and wearing clothes. The advice to โbe yourselfโ is obviously nonsense. But our brains accept this tripe as wisdom because it is more comfortable to believe we have a strategy for life than to believe we have no idea how to behave.
