It has been very hard to present what I write about to the general public. But finally I think that I have solved this riddle. Or at least, now I have some insights of how to take these first steps. So, here is the first version.
I will later include this presentation in the intro “Why Do People Love Dictators?”

Why Do People Love Dictators?
Take off your Logical glasses and Discover Reason
Before it is possible to grasp how we're restricted by the Hidden dogmas of the Church, we need to explore how Hidden restrictions can exist in Science.
We, in the Western world, have a strange attraction for dictators. This is the usually Hidden relationship that explains this phenomenon. Dictators prosper by exploiting our fear of Change. This fear is the result of what is said to be Education and Science. Because, Education and Science, that is said to help us, actually reinforce Obedience and erase our capacity to Create alternatives.
We're simply trained to reject a concrete understanding of Change, leaving us desperate for the shiny stability promised by strongmen. However, true Education and Science unlock the door to a better future through Questioning, Exploring and Creating new possibilities. Here is a brief overview of this main theme.
It is our blind acceptance of current Education and Science that expose the glaring paradox: how can supposedly free people, with knowledge of Science, embrace Dictators who strangle freedom?
To be precise, the answer lies in our misunderstanding of Logic and Reason. We're taught that Logic is objective and neutral and the very foundation of Science. But is it?
Consider how math education often promotes getting the "right" Logical answer in a mystical way rather than cultivating a concrete understanding of the process to reach to the result. This method trains the students' to believe that there is no concrete way to reach the predetermined "correct" solution.
The true role of Logic is to justify How It Is or the status quo, by blocking the process of Creation to reach a result.
Accordingly we are trained to view the world through distorted lenses of a Hidden bias. Just as rose-tinted glasses cast an artificial rosy glow, our unconscious prejudices deny us to Create and Change. So, without us realising it, this denial colors our thoughts, dreams, feelings, and actions.
Bias means "a one-sided tendency of the mind," and the word Prejudice is a combination of pre- and judge and means of course to judge before.
Genuine Education and Science challenge assumptions and Create new perspectives. But our institutions often use Logic as a blunt weapon against Creating alternatives and Change.
That Logic is in fact a restriction, can only be understood when it is known or that Reason is our main intellectual area or faculty; that includes a concrete knowledge of how to Create and Change.
Ergo, when we mistake Logic for Reason, we lose our ability to Create alternatives and drive progress. The overall effect is that bullying and mob mentality rules and people love Authority as well as Dictators.
One more time a bit different. Logic justifies established traditions. Reason follows facts and evidence wherever they lead, including toward the once-unthinkable.
By exposing our training in Logic, we can dissolve confusion and reinstate Reason. Then, we are free to Create valid solutions.
Consider this: when you realize that Education and Science often train citizens to see life through Logical glasses that erase the possibility of positive change, then is the present Western hopelessness explained. With this insight, you can begin the crucial work of unlearning these biases and relearning how to Understand, Create and Change the world for the better.
And for sure, your efforts will be empowered with the knowledge that the demand for Logic was one of the most important dogmas of the Church.
