Make all Ideologies Illigal

If it was up to me I would ban all ideologies. People or civilizations that affirm an ideology end up forcing reality into a model. While all we have is a temporal hypothesis, some working assumption that have an empirically observable stretch (at best). An ideology is in essence a byproduct of religions. In other words a cowardly refuge from the fear of uncertainty, a whooped up fascist uniformity in the face of the chaos.
By the way of an example is the late American belief in the wisdom of the markets. While everyone knows that left to their own devices, crowds or individuals gravitate towards an unbalanced excess. Still the market fundamentalist fanatics cling to the dogma of the wise market equilibrium. More markets separate from the economic reality, more adamant are the fundamentalists that in market alone we trust.
