They don't feel shame, but they care deeply about status. Wanting to be liked--or at least envied--is their Achilles heel. We can use that against them:it's cheap, non-violent & effective. Social shunning of elites supporting Pinochet helped bring down the Chilean dictator: it can work here too.

Just FYI, if you have had a short story in an anthology in the last decade, and you are searching this tool to see if your story was scraped up as part of the LibGen data by Anthropic, searching your name may not be enough. Search by the name of the editor of the anthology.

Half the churches in America teach that science is Satanic and all scientists are evil, baby-eating atheists. In 1980, 45% of professional scientists in America were Republican. Today it's 5%. Why might that be?

Precisely. Certainly the histories of Christianity and Islam are one blood bath after another. Judaism and Hinduism glorify the blood baths of their past. Buddhism has a much less bloody history, but not 100%. I know less about some of the smaller religions like Sufism, Jainism, Taoism ...
