>> it's like when there actually are rising temperatures and rising sea
levels and rising O2 and increasingly wild weather and ice melting all over
the world, you stop and say, oh hang on, maybe Fourier had a point after all
when he worked out the Greenhouse effect in 1824. Rather than just putting
your fingers in your ears, closing your eyes and singing loudly.
Perhaps. because some truths are too much for some to bear and illusion is
necessary for them to keep themselves from losing it.
Obligatory Matrix quote J
Morpheus: This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back.
You take the blue pill - the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe
whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill - you stay in Wonderland
and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes.

Certainly not. Honesty is not "knowing truth". It is just being able to
