I read about this in college. It's a form of magical thinking, which must
rely on non-falsifiable statements to survive. "My worldview cannot be
contradicted. The statements by proponents of worldviews which contradict
my own are not to be tested because the proponents are not credible. They
are not credible because they hold worldviews which contradict my own.
Thus, my worldview is uncontradicted by anybody credible. Anybody credible
is someone who does not contradict my worldview."
"I don't like ISOC, INTA and CORE (or flouridation or the CIA or black
helicopters)." People who are members of ISOC, INTA and CORE who
contradict me, are not credible because they are members of ISOC, INTA and
CORE. Thus, we do not have to reality check anything said by anyone from
INTA, ISOC and INTA, because everything they say is a lie. I don't like
ISOC, INTA and CORE because everything they say is a lie"
