I don't know. I have never seen public narrative be useful at any point in time. This is why it is difficult to get a consensus. The human mind is a bizarre contraption that can look at the same information twice and come up with wildly differing opinions depending on context. Worshipping and religious behaviour is basically two behaviours in one: * The human mind has limited processing capability so in order to understand the world we offload the bulk of the processing to the network effects of the tribe or civilization. Humans don't think about truth, they align them selves with those that seem to have done the thinking for them. * Human survival is MOSTLY reliant upon an individual negotiating alliances with various tribes of humans. The tribes get your body to upload software to (beliefs) and you get access to the tribes resources. People naturally align with what they percieve the winning team to be right now and that is the government. What you are seeing is mostly the effects of the second point, that is underpinned by a few factors, including ideological indoctrination that we have allowed in into our civilizations and massive social proof that is guaranteed to swing one one with the big tech social filters. You can VERY EASILY, and I mean it would be trivial, to swing the opinion the other way using the same tools.
