People who disagree with me (but are deceived) seem to imagine we are in a competition and they have to "beat me" and not lose face.
The truth doesn't care what I believe; when reality asserts itself in undeniable ways the hurt is far worse than a dented pride for being wrong. I don't "win" by having being more diligent and discerning, but you definitely lose when you persistently live by lies!
They believe anything outside their hive mind, is insanity. They are conditioned to believe everything not of the hive mind is disorder, chaos and more work. They live in fear of this.
Fear is the mind killer.
The fear response, is the easiest to create and control.
