I don't know important stuff. I did learn how to shift into a headspace where falsehoods become appealing. It is unnerving. But it doesn't tell me how this works or how to help others who are there.



I sorta think falsity is the rule not the exception. It’s only when it impacts reproduction and survival that it becomes undesirable socially, at least that’s how it’s worked for most of history, and the consequence of it being perfectly acceptable evolutionarily is that it’s rampant today.
