> Audiophile-grade self-delusion is, fortunately, fairly rare. Oh not from where I see the world! hehe - infact I see most stem educated people of reasonably good IQ by and large living a mythology they do not even know they are living in because they've never really understood the difference between knowledge and understanding and the whole purpose of the humanities. Mythology is the stories we tell about how we as individuals relate to society and the cosmos. Elon Musk functions as a sort of deva or heroic god myth that many people do not even realise they are buying into. Mythology even includes how we structure science - the "genius", the archetypes and roles and stories we tell about heros and how scientific activity takes place - these are myths that have causal effects in producing actual science. Mythology is meta to everything. Its literally the meaning about who we are and our place in the world. There's many cases. Pick your mythology wisely because if you don't you'll get a poor version of one by cultural default. I can tell you a lot on Hacker News does not look too much different from the audiophile community from this perspective hehe
