this is a very interesting phenomena to me -- the truth being too ridiculous to believe even if it confirms our biases and supports our worldview.
do you have any examples?
- seanmcdirmid 8y agoIt’s like trying to explain to an American what a 800 2.5ppm AQI day feels like. They think, LA during a forest fire or something, since they can’t really fathom anything beyond that. For the same reason, they can’t really fathom Xi’s cult of personality that his is building, CNN can’t describe it since the reality would come off as bad fiction. But reading Global Times on any odd day of the week, it is fairly apparent that it really is the truth.
