==== Religion ==== The Transcendental Values Thesis gives academic justification for the necessity of the existence of religions, which are universal throughout human groups. For long-term stability and integrity, groups need to share common values which are beyond the ability of rigorous symbols to formally capture with logical strictures for behavior. The thesis also explains the failure of any formal religion to be universal and eternal. Religions entail formal protocols for behavior, i.e., ceremonies and rituals. Their centralized protocols lead to hierarchies of power which are then gamed, corrupting and destabilizing the group. Therefore religions inevitably collapse under such destabilizing internal competition. Therefore the protocols of a long-term stable religion require transcendent principles--principles which transcend any formal description. The experience of transcendent values are of a "know-it-when-you-see-it" nature. We cannot define absolute good, but we recognize what is good and bad when we are honest and observant.
