Sorry to get back on topic but this interests me. "How are delusions maintained, as in creationism, democracy, free trade, markets, the wars on drugs, terrorism and amongst cops, social workers and …."
Best way to maintain a delusion: 1) Numerically. Easier to maintain a delusion when it is held by a majority. 2) Chronoligically. It has been this way for…. Why would it be different now? 3) Embellishment. Add a bit of gravitas by associating the delusion with prominent figures, scientists, heads of religious orders etc. 4) Hide its toxic nature. Keep the poison palatable by mixing with enough truth in order to change its color or palatability. 5) Multiplicity. Add a delusion to the delusion so the first delusion becomes less deniable. 6) Serial encryption. Pack the delusion with a series of undeniable facts. 7) Geographic lamination. Move the context of the delusion so that it becomes difficult to challenge. Example: "Finish your vegetables there are children starving in China" 8) Terminology disassociation. When the government wants to hide it's killing of innocent civilians (example: Waco,TX) the name of the living quarters changes from school to "compound". -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups ""Minds Eye"" group.
