its the worship of consciousness in other form; as if self isn't capable of learning this technology, or capable of it.


What's this have to do with cargo cults?
"Cargo cultism" is a misunderstanding of cause and effect.

I couldn't make the connection either.

It comes across as unrelated.

the problem is that the worshipers believe that they are incapable of same. of learning to be capable of; so they worship something apart from self and ignore that the knowledge, the same spiritual, mental event is capable of self.

Sometimes it looks to me like people who insist on arguing that consciousness is not a function of brains are inclined to make apparently conscious expressions that seem to support their argument.

Trump supporters are, I theorise, largely a cargo cult; "Trump is my idea of what a rich and powerful person is like, so if I support and enable him, maybe I'll be rich and powerful too". Usual caveats, not all Trump voters, and it's largely subconscious, but I do suspect that explains a lot of it.
