The thing that first comes to mind is recently realizing that even I was infected by a dangerous memeplex directly decended from christianity.
I've always been an atheist and wondered what it was like to realize that there is no god, or what it's like to strongly believe some obviously false thing just because it's what people you grew up with believed. I remember thinking "well, I'm right on the big things like god and psychic powers and such, I guess epistemic rationality is a solved problem"
Now I'm like "holy crap, I (we) really suck at this, and could be way better".
NOt sure if this is what you're looking for.
Not saying which it is is pretty obnoxious, but I'll have to assume you've been bitten by the moldbug
I feel like there's an Edgar Allen Poe parody just waiting to happen here.
"Dis i' real bad, mistah. He bin bitten ba de moole-bug."
Unless they mean the memeplex is the idea that "epistemic rationality is a solved problem""?
That one's not descended from Christianity.
