And it`s very popular, so it must be true.
Just like the Da Vinci Code. And The Wizard of Oz.
That is the part Drich does not get, but that is also what most humans do not get. Drich is not alone. Utopias are very appealing ideas to humans. So much so that idealism produces religion and utopia political parties as well and to very damaging degrees as history shows us. It upsets believers that you burst their bubbles.
Humans do not want to face their finite existence. The rich make excuses to become richer for example, forgetting that they meet the same fate as the poor. Most humans don't want to think as their club as being as vulnerable to extinction as the dinosaurs which we are. Most humans don't want to accept that our planet will die and our sun as well, and that the universe will continue on with no record or care that we existed. That reality gives them no comfort. The wise face it, not to create an eternity, but face it so we can pragmatically extend our finite ride.
Drich is doing what most humans do, allowing their flawed perceptions to create placebos and false comfort.
