It really is that simple.

And if you can get someone to do something claiming divine authority, or thinking they are divine, it can break empathy with the 'other' people.

Although many have good qualities, there is no defense for someone with that much wealth.


Most people find delusions to rationalize actions. And actually many have postulated that the rational mind only explains to a person what the subconscious decided after the fact anyways. And the rational mind tries to make sense of what a person decides to do based on many other factors.

From that knowing yourself becomes really important.

Also why some can not learn or change positions, they don't actually know why they think some way, and there thoughts are really trying to explain why they think them. If you make them face a contradiction, sometimes they will reach there subconscious thoughts on the issues. And I think that is a big part of clarity.

Although some people don't care.



Side note, I thought of that over a decade ago, and probably posted it years ago, although I have heard it is also in some book somewhere.
