The Amish, maybe by sheer happenstance, managed to stumble upon the only legitimate worldview. Let's take Jim Jones as an example/analogy as to why. Imagine you're at Jonestown, tilling the land, compulsory labor, day in and day out, pliable to his message at the end of the day. Exhausted, receptive, a believer. In his gospel, he preaches the salvation of mass suicide. That you will meet your maker upon drinking the Kool-Aid. You're building up to it, becoming increasingly convinced of your prophet's message to you. But, he must provide you with the Rumspringa, an excursion into life beyond his influence. To explore whether or not this mass suicide, kool-aid drinking is in your best interest. How much less likely do you think your possibility of agreeing with his carefully crafted mind control would be? Why would Jim Jones even allow such a reprieve from his influence? Yet, the model is centrally focused on this very process. Even the so-called "liberal" of modernity does not offer such a choice. It's simply not in the cards. If you don't agree, you clearly aren't enlightened, educated, or privy to the eternal wisdom of progressive thought. That you would be provided such an exploratory experience is a threat to the delusion of "freedom". That's why the world doesn't work this way. These people are just as committed to the end goal of "progress and enlightenment" as Jim Jones was to his version of "salvation". They're insane.
