beck has an excessive need for certainty, like many on fox. normally it would cause institutional care or breakdown because of irrational fear caused by natural pervasive uncertainty. in the struggle that so many on the right have to avoid the uncertainty that surrounds them they gravitate to fantasies that provide certainty by enabling denial of uncertainty. he's living in a bubble of certainty, like limbaugh. they are very bright otherwise but if that bubble breaks they'd be paralyzed with fear.
to a lesser extent that's the secret of the major power structures, why dictators and kings must maintain unquestioned certitude. if their certainty cracks they're done.
