There are premises under ongoing scrutiny among which I put the "Hacker Ethic" and the "Jazz Truth", which are as close to faith/belief/hunch and superstition in general.
I really find that along with the usually-cited examples of gender/ethnic/otherness becoming more subject to detached/objective analyses, there is a change of ethics in general towards more connected/interactive/interpersonal behaviors.
John Stephens summed it up well in the acronym COYOTE (Call Off Your Old Tired Ethics) adopted by an organization around sex workers.
So shit changes, generally towards negative entropy! But it sure grinds exceeding slow.

The War on Sanity
The wit/clue- lessness exemplifies much of the underpinnings for "belief" in the "rule of law".
When the Supreme Jurists display a total unawareness as in the "Bong Hits 4 Jesus" matter it gives us pause.
Of course this is a more recent version of the gang who gave us the "Air Pirates" decision.
Where's Jonathan Swift now that we need him?

More health care rant
"Better Living Through Software" is not just a blog, it's a promise whose fulfillment is ongoing and often effective.
The possibility of Universal Health Care without the overhead burden of Insurance is quite palpable. Skip "National" or "Private" Health Care and, because of Universal Connectedness, go directly to Wellness: do not pass "Go"; do not collect $200!
The entirety of delivering this service to all humans (and probably other entities, including the planet itself) is well within reach - it's all in the software that enables production/delivery so that there's no untreated AIDS in Iceland or Zambia.

Westphalian sovereignity - Please!
There is the concept of the "failed State" as a sort of disease caused by chaos/anarchy/revolution.
What has failed is the very idea of nation-states. They are already subservient to forces seeking their own Exclusivism. We are simply a bit inertial in accepting that fact.
As connections grow/interact/prevail the idea of borders, along with a bunch of other baggage, simply gets shown for what it is: vaporware.
We are all in this together.
We are all members of one another.
Connection is a human right.
Love.
