agreed. some people are completely unwilling to consider other ideas because they don’t want to be wrong when presented with anything that conflicts with their world view they will double down instead you can see this with cults that make a doomsday prediction a lot of people will still stay in the cult even after the doomsday prediction has been undeniably proven to be wrong they will find a way to continue to rationalize their beliefs and stay in the cult.
I still feel like there must be a way to get through to these kinds of people after all people do still leave cults even after being in them for many years but I’m not sure how to do that.
I really think some people still think 2012 was the end of the world. But not in a “nuclear war” way but in a slow motion. Just to “be right” about the 2012 bullshit.

🤷🏻 We’re still fundamentally irrational animals. Our powers of reason are limited, and our quirks are easily manipulated.
