Great article and sadly right on the mark. I'd like however to add a possible 6th Universal law discovered after this was man stated his five laws, but certainly worthy of being the 6th. The Dunning-Kruger law of stupidity which simply stated says that stupid people over estimate their own level of intelligence and that's because they are too stupid to actually know how stupid they really are.

The article made me think. I have thought similarly to what you are stating. When there's no self awareness that might lead one to question one's own ideas or ideology, you get extremely arrogant people completely convinced that they are 100% correct. We saw this with the January 6th rioters who believed every word, who were convinced they were patriots etc etc etc. There's no light, there's no question mark, it's just operating from the presumption that what you feel is god's truth as it were. It's so dangerous.
