Looking for rational answers to irrational actions?

[kentuck]

Is it possible to penetrate such devoted irrationality? Is it a waste of time to even try?

Is it easier to believe a lie than a factual truth? Especially when it fits your irrational world so much more comfortably?

The cult is not a group of rational thinkers.

It is an irrational act, within itself, to try to communicate with such irrational thinkers.

1. A few prescient quotes....

A Huxley: “The victim of mind manipulation does not know that he is a. victim. To him, the walls of his prison are invisible, and he believes himself to be free.”

G Orwell: “The further a society drifts from the truth, the more it will hate the people who speak it.”

K Kraus: “The secret of the demagogue is to make himself as stupid as his audience so they can believe they are as clever as he.”
