“Taking ideas too seriously” is unlikely to be what went wrong with Ziz, but I do think that it’s a large part of what went wrong with all the misguided individuals who’ve allowed themselves to be drawn into Ziz’s orbit, have adopted Ziz’s bizarre perspectives, etc.
My guess is that “taking ideas seriously” played a role in the chain somewhere, but some of the ideas are about how to think-internally, or the second-order effects of having taken something seriously.
