Gettin' rid of the "dharmic" vs. "abrahamic", "monotheist" vs. "polytheist" distinctions in classifying religions. From now on it's YOLO vs. Y(a)ALA religions -- "you only live once" vs. "you're (almost) always living again"

Modern understandings of โ€˜ignoranceโ€™ frame it as a privation of intellect or knowledge, but I think itโ€™s helpful to see it Buddhist-wise: as a willful practice of _ignoring_ - refusing to look at or think through - that forms the self and its dispositions.
