You might imagine when you tell the truth, people will give you a standing ovation, especially when subsequent events prove you right and them wrong.

But in fact it’s just the opposite. The more right you were, the greater the need for you to be dismissed as crazy, a crank, a “conspiracy theorist.”

It makes no sense if the goal were to arrive at what’s true, but the goal is instead to save face, not only for oneself but one’s tribe.

Because they can no longer argue coherently on the facts, their only option is to dismiss you entirely, to deny you standing, so to speak, to be heard on the merits.

Their mind performs a quick summary judgment — no need to consider what *he’s* saying. And with that, they’re back to their next delusion, no matter how falsified the previous one.

This might sound hopeless, but it’s not, for two reasons:

(1) Everyone who does realize, no matter how long it takes, never goes back. Waking up is a one-way street, and, for example, everyone who regrets taking the mRNA is very unlikely to take another, no matter what bullshit is on offer.

and

(2) Gravity always wins. If you jump out a window, no matter how much you enjoy the delusion that you’re flying, the ground will have the last word.

You might not be around to witness the impact, but everyone steeped in lies is destined for it, one way or another.

How lucky you are if you care about what’s true more than what’s popular or professionally and socially convenient, no matter how much bullshit you take for it in the near term.
