To a certain extent yes, but unfortunately it's more than just a set of principles.
Ideologies tend to lead to fanaticism, embracing a simplified and rigid view of social reality.
I'm particularly wary of all the *-isms.

- alexandre_m 8y agoI can see that I sounded like I was one of those, but I have strong set of principles which lean toward some doctrines and yes, some ideologies in practice. My point was more to be cautious of those who are very strict from the theoretical side of the said ideologies in their purest form.
- austhrow743 8y agoA person should not believe in an ism. They should believe in themself.
- ixtli 8y agoIf you read philosophy you'll find (happily, i think) that you're not alone in your thoughts and beliefs. Your whole mind is intertwined with thousands of years of development of those beliefs and the physical structures they created that then reinforce them. And in any case, you can't really do anything interesting alone so it's better, in my opinion, to believe in others.
