Most people claim to crave the truth, but what they really desire is just "confirmation bias."



The truth is often counterintuitive, cold, and noise without aesthetic appeal. To maintain psychological stability, the brain has evolved a filtering mechanism that automatically blocks out all facts that could lead to cognitive dissonance, constructing a logically consistent illusionary world for you. The edifice of human society is built upon countless collective myths of "for everyone's good."

Any viewpoint that makes you feel comfortable is most likely a scythe used to harvest you. The truth usually comes with intense pain because it is cutting away your illusions.
