i guess ideology might be necessary in order to justify the structure of a society. but the problematic thing is ideologies justify themselves with a false assertion of truth, which makes it difficult to be challenged

Okay, just looked it up. Beliefs held for reasons that aren't purely epistemic. I think this means that our desires have seeped into our models of reality. That is, that way that we believe the world should be has seeped into the way we believe it is.

good way of putting it. i can say, for example, democracy is good. good according to what? maybe good according to freedom. well, is freedom good? if we assume yes, thats an ideological assumption. we cannot prove it. though maybe we can do so pragmatically.

Yeah I kinda been concluding it might be inescapable. Maybe we're best knowing that, and developing the ability to adopt and discard ideologies as they serve us and something bigger than us. If we are the knowing, then the knowing never stops and so the ideologies cannot hold.

I don’t see why not both. We have to start somewhere, but there’s no limit to how wrong we can be, so we want our best ideas for the moment to be replaced by better ones eventually. 1/2

If we fool ourselves that our ideologies are final, they’re typically used either to reject facts that don’t fit the worldview (religion) or to tweak all facts into fitting the worldview (psychoanalysis). 2/2
