The hard part isn't providing a hopeful narrative, I think, since people are fine without that. The hopeful narrative hacks our brain though, and makes us care about crazy stuff like heaven and sin. It's like uh... this comic?

"One of them will hope they're a forgotten noble scion. One of them hopes to find gold under their pillow. All of them clung to a miracle before the hand of God stepped in."

So, people need to be able to resist that poisonous hope that replaces their dreams with God.

I dunno, I'm just trying to figure out how to make friends and have a support network. If my hypothetical friends don't think Evangelical Christianity is worth worrying about, I'll probably listen to them over some Internet rando going off on CIA Psyops.
