So what beliefs do we change?

I offer up three;

We are looking at time backward. It is not the point of the present, moving past to future, that we experience as mobile organisms with a sequential process of perception, but change turning future to past. Tomorrow becomes yesterday, because the earth turns. There is no actual dimension of time, because the past is consumed by the present. Cause becomes effect. Time is like temperature, pressure, color, sound. Frequencies and amplitudes. Time is frequency, events are amplitude.

So the reality in which we exist is more thermodynamic feedback loops, than the linear progression of time. Yesterday doesn't cause today. The sun shining on a spinning planet creates this cycle of days and nights.

Second; The logical fallacy of monotheism is the spiritual absolute would be the essence of sentience, from which we rise, not an ideal of wisdom and judgement, from which we fell. The fact we are aware.

Conflating the ideal, which is aspirational, with the absolute, which is elemental, leads people to assume their cultural ideas are universal and the Other becomes an affront to one's true belief.

Third) Money is the social contract that enables large societies to function, not a commodity to mine from society. A medium, is not a store. Blood is a medium, fat is a store.

We have a lot of work to do.
