Your dominant DELUSION determines how you experience

BLUF:
[Yournews.com] When people are invested in a delusion, they begin to zealously defend it.

Here’s how human neurology works: Once people are invested in a delusion, they become zealots in their defense of it. For example, a person who is heavily invested in Bitcoin often becomes utterly unable to hear any information critical of cryptocurrency. This is exactly the same way a person who took a covid vaccine can no longer tolerate information showing those vaccines to be dangerous (or even deadly).

Once a person is so fully invested in a delusion that they cut off their consciousness from the real world around them, they become "cultists" who drown in their own dogma. At some point, a "day of reckoning" arrives that shatters their delusions, leading to a traumatic psychological breakdown that’s often described in phrases like, "my whole world just got shattered."

#2  From the sixth century BC in the Xin Xin Ming: "Do not search for the truth, only cease to cherish opinions". I've found this a much more useful approach that the one encapsulated in the source article.

#1  Wow Mr B. Exactly. I saw this after I posted earlier "#1 My area medical system. India is doing quiet well since using this product. Common to use product other than FDA decrees. Main issue is Trump used it. Medical out the window as the result. Shame it took so long, 30 days. Constant barrage in medias to be vaxed. People now dying as a result at an alarming rate but who cares since they are vaxed. I am now seeing a trend that is unsettling.Vaxed exhibit short tempered anger issues.No matter the subject they show hostility to any contrary viewpoint to their own. I call them the new Zombie variants. Watch, listen, observe but be careful.The new normal. They can be well educated but the men especially can act very much like brutes and quite physical."

I find it almost impossible for them to realize their error. As with a drowning person. They will drag helpers under to save themselves.
