Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn’t go away.
- Pillip K. Dick
It seems that if there’s enough people that believe in something, that reality hitting can be delayed quite some time. Something like the Idiocracy Effect, if you will.
I usually suffer the other way around, with older people saying very wrong stuff “they saw”, but that are very factually wrong
They had it wrong their entire lives, never had it right, or they picked up the narrative somewhere along the way to suit their worldview.
That’s not going to stop happening. “Alternative Facts” is proof that some people never stop trying to block out the reality around them.
