Sometimes I think the urge to
believe in our own worldview is our
most powerful intellectual imperative, the
mind's equivalent of
feeding, fighting, and fornicating. People will eagerly
twist facts
into wholly unrecognizable shapes to fit them into existing
suppositions. They'll ignore the obvious, select the irrelevant, and
spin it
all into a tapestry of self-deception, solely to justify an idea,
no matter how
impoverished or self-destructive.
That is all
