Thank you by the way, I had actually remembered about that as I was typing this up (In a sort of “Speaking of Religions with unusual premises...” way), but forgotten what it was called and who came up with it. I had speculated that it might have been from a Heinlein novel, since the half-remembered premise of “lone protagonist is saved from arctic peril and then gets to listen to someone politely explain their philosophy” sounded vaguely Heinleinish.
Ah. This one, I’ve read.
