This "buy-in" and "sell-out" mentality (besides leading to individual
"soul" death and idolatry) suggests that there is no truth outside of
agreement and compromise... that is, whatever is decided by the masses to
be "true" (1+1=3, for example) must then be forced upon logical people
using police action and group censure. What a frightening concept. True
"chaos" ("hell").
