Now I'm worried some enterprising security researcher will find a Spectre vulnerability in my thought process

  I'd suggest the BLIT series by David Langford http://www.infinityplus.co.uk/stories/blit.htm http://www.infinityplus.co.uk/stories/blit.htm (the BLIT story itself) https://www.nature.com/articles/44964 https://www.nature.com/articles/44964 (yes, its a work of fiction) https://www.lightspeedmagazine.com/fiction/different-kinds-of-darkness/ https://www.lightspeedmagazine.com/fiction/different-kinds-o... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BLIT_(short_story) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BLIT_(short_story)

  They already have that, it's called a cult, or some might say religion (I would, but that'll offend others).. I used to be religious (Mormon), now agnostic but still somewhat spiritual, I don't believe in a God, just that the universe could itself be one big consciousness, or even part of a bigger organism, etc... and I'm still inspired by people, my kids, the universe, technological accomplishments, etc... Same feels I got in religion, I get from watching a meteor shower now.
