The rejection of spiritual authority, one of the major themes of discordian buddhism, is intended to reduce the cognitive bias stemming from cult-like belief systems.
Most people have already been brainwashed into a cult without even realizing it.
Tell someone the earth is flat, and watch them fall over themselves trying to disprove you, even though they have no direct evidence, only cognitive consensus.
The earth can be any shape you want it. Any shape at all. (with thanks to Thomas Dolby)
