    Basic self-consistency, particularly in Anglo countries. The culture seems to teach that it would be better to die than to recognize one’s own irrationality, correct it, and move on.

    Why we can’t be friends here. Why not give the benefit of the doubt. That perhaps we are all far more alike than different in this place.

      Agreed. You are really referring to the fact that so many now belong to some kind of hive. They no longer think for themselves. And since being a member of a specific hive gives their life meaning, they defend it against anything or anyone that disagrees with it. I’d bet that I would have points of agreement with 99% of all posters and commenters if everyone just thought for themselves
