Name one thing you don't believe in, but you wish was actually true.

Spirits.

It'd be cool.

Heaven. Or just the idea that some part of the consciousness outlives the body. I really hate that this is all I get, there's so much I'll never get to do just because my parents decided when I was too young to decide for myself.

I would say most people are good. However, the human brain is pretty shit and easy to manipulate. It's easy to make people view other people as not human or other to them, or to not think about them at all. Maybe that is "not good" in some definitions though. When face-to-face, I will bet every time on someone treating someone well. I'll lose the bet occasionally, but I'll be right more than wrong.

Karma doesn’t always ripen in this life, but upon reincarnation.

Death is boring and awful. I don't want it. Nobody really wants it. If you think you do, a) get help and b) you really don't.

diskworld. I specially like the city watch

I recommend reading False Witnesses and following it up with Masses, Elites, and Rebels: The Theory of "Brainwashing." People license themselves to believe what's convenient, not what's true.

That's confusing cause and effect

It is evidence of my age that I assumed this link would be a Rick roll...

The world was ruled by the Illuminati and they were compassionate about it. Because what we are ruled by is a bunch of assholes.

[parlamint@lemmy.ml]

LOL. This is great! A few weeks ago the illuminati was some sort of boogeyman. Today, things are so bad @[email protected] is praying for boogeyman to be real. There are some genuinely great answers here but I really identify with this one, personally.

That Democracy can be an effective check on Capitalism. Liberalism is my favorite fairy tale. If all the propaganda I was fed as a kid in the 90s was actually true, I'd be in paradise.
