The No-sign up, no ads thing is a bit of a stretch. Yes, you don’t have to sign in, but everything you tap seems to lead to a new ad being shown.
Enshittification ensues
I think the one in the hat is The Edge (the guitarist in U2), so I assume the other one is Bono?

The answer (to me) is a resounding yes. I firmly believe that belief in the Supernatural is in-built into all of us. It’s an off-shoot of us being incredibly good at pattern matching combined with our need for parental guidance for so long and a fear of death -
To get past this, we need two things: A personal willingness to ask questions and follow the answers (which is a basic description of science) and we need a society that is willing to embrace these individuals.
