This is an issue anyone trying to make sense of the world sooner or later runs into, that most everyone else is playing a different game altogether, which has nothing to do with consistency, but rather your place in a social dominance hierarchy and ways of moving up or down. By asking hard questions that people engaged in social dominance have no ability or interest in answering, you are seen as annoying. Annoying because those who play social dominance games cannot openly admit they're playing them and by asking hard questions, you are placing them in an impossible situation. You are a smart arse that nobody playing social dominance games likes. Your refuge will be in learning to recognize what games other people are playing and adapting yourself to them, because they will not adapt to you - they are on a path that doesn't allow for compromise - people who engage in social dominance games view them as all-encompassing and all-important.
