Drunk On Mystery

I got into politics in the early 00s, and one thing that getting into politics makes you realize is that people who don't believe in anything will assuage their own discomfort by telling themselves that no one else believes in anything either.

You might say it's a problem that exists in Abundance.

I absolutely believe preventing a despotic madman from using nuclear weapons is a worthy goal. Unfortunately, I fear the one most likely to use one is the United States president. And our ramping up Middle East violence does nothing to assuage those fears.

It is continually and perpetually disappointing to see smart, educated people fall for obvious lies and disinformation in order to assuage their confirmation bias and build their own narratives around such falsehoods. Intelligence doesn't seem to protect against ignorance, but enhances its potency.
