Because we won't move into a better future until we defeat religiosity, which
is
the most regressive force now operating in society.

Useless hypotheses, etc.:
consciousness, phlogiston, philosophy, vitalism, mind, free will, qualia,
analog computing, cultural relativism
Everything that can happen has already happened, not just once,
but an infinite number of times, and will continue to do so forever.
(Everything that can happen = more than anyone can imagine.)

strait-waistcoats are fashioned by those who dare not trust others,
because they dare not trust themselves, to walk in liberty.
