> I think the reason for this is that our brains just generally don't operate on a rational basis because it's not practical for humans. But that is an ideology! That isn't even wrong, what's wrong is to say that's the opposite of logic. > We have to rely on preformed perspectives when it comes to certain broad perspectives. That is generally true, but if the perspective is limited, we start speculating, making and testing assumptions. That's not an ideology per se. The thing with ideology is that long distance planning requires to stick with one theory to see it through. That's why discipline, form and idea are somewhat synonymous. Think about when somebody says someone had no clue. And corollary, different people might partially succeed with different attempts and reach different conclusions. These might be mutually exclusive, if leaning on probabilistic arguments, or just not evidently the same, if it's not obvious how to correlate the experiences. These are different meanings of ideology and the contradictory sense is rather euphemistic or derogatory. > Another reason is that it's almost necessary to adopt your group's perspectives in order to fit in That might be dogmatism and virtue signaling, which to a degree signals subordination. That's less than ideal, but the alternative fight to death is often farther from optimal.
