hmmm.. have to think about this.. it is long =ccepted that the god myth satisfies some long standing internal need =umans have for either defense against death or need for purpose.. no =oubt actions governed by satisfying that pleasure center... the key =uestion is where inside and outside intersect and cannot both be =atisfied together.. that is where game theory is relevant I think.. =nbsp;how to compromise on satisfying hopes, and satisfying reality when =rying to outsmart a charging lion..

religion acts as one of many proposed =elief systems to help construct an inner life. where the =npowerful are effective. it makes as little sense for it to be a =ogic system operating in the outer domain as little as a science =ased view on the evidence of my fantasy girl. you =hould find some highly correlated inner and outer rewards but as =any uncorrelated. depression might mean ignoring the =utside altogether, retreating into an inner self in order not to do =arm.

the inner life should be =ormally distributed over subdomains as well as a homgenious =opualtion . so that some in the group receive social pleasure, =ome only physical. etc.
