Believe what you want to believe...

People believe what they want to believe, no matter how much contrary evidence you show them.
Last week, someone commented on an old blog that Obama wasn't born in America. Yeah, the birther movement, it's still alive... started by (name omitted) and years later, after America became divided and wasted millions of hours in dispute, were unable to prove that statement. (name omitted) admitted it was fabricated. Everyone heard he came from Africa. Apparently only a few heard it wasn't true, or at least don't want to change their belief.

Some people believe the insurrection on January 6th was a peaceful protest.

That's the problem. Sadly, what once was "the party of Lincoln" has become the party of lies.
They like to enrage their constituents with outrageous lies, repeated over & over, so
they become chants and become beliefs. The truth has no effect on the devout.
Instead, they wholeheartedly believe what they want to believe, rather than the truth.
Instilling dread creates an audience for walking out of the sea with your shirt off. A harem of the hapless and the harpy and I think a lot of globalism will trigger this big fish in a small pond way of living in the world.
Some people believe a deworming medicine that lasts 5 days and has rocketed hospitalisations is better than a proven safe vaccine that protects for months.

The mind boggles at such a strange thought process.
I agree with Orchid.

And I believe because I've seen it with my own eyes.
It has indeed helped some people I know.
This is an anti-science crowd here and especially anti-vaxx and anti-health science. confused

Under what circumstances?
Single dose, repetitive, combined with other drugs, prescription formula or purchased in a livestock supply?

Were any of these products from the same companies that state 'not for human consumption' or 'not to be used to treat covid' ??
Our mind is designed to run on both belief and truth. It is necessary to strike a balance between the two.

Truth is bitter, belief is sweeter. Truth requires logic, belief does not require logic. Truth is an endless process of logic, belief is a fullstop of logic. Truth is workout, belief is rest. Truth requires a brain, belief does not require a brain.

A scientist reaches a truth by applying a lot of logics. Many years later, another scientist proves that truth wrong by applying another logic. In this way the endless process of logic continues in truth.

Everyone believes in Belief according to their own will. For this we twist the truth in favor of our belief.

We cannot always depend on logic alone, nor can we always depend on belief. It is important to keep a balance in both. If both are disbalanced then we will start harming ourselves and each other.
They always do, don't they.
Fake news is real and fake people believe it.
