The issues of "psychology" (/ "sociology") are ubiquitous with human beings (and many other animals, arguably). Partly borne of "heuristics" and other hacks / optimizations that make for a species quick and efficient enough to survive, they permeate everything human, no matter how much our minds might tell us they don't, in general. It took me years to learn, through repeated demonstrations, just how many illusions and delusions permeate my own every day existence. In fact, this is really why it can be so incredibly helpful to know people you can talk to and trust who have different points of view and can help nudge thinking back towards a certain level of, say, "goodness". And, it's a major factor in the very dark side of "social media", as has been well-documented - including by Facebook itself, mostly internally. The "tribe heuristic" can easily supplant years or decades worth of training on, essentially, "critical thinking" and "how to test / discover / 'know' things", such that you end up with absolutely jarring inconsistencies in people. I.e., the doctor (MD or DO or etc.) who has an entirely separate "Mr. Hyde" persona peddling a kind of witchcraft that is apparently grounded in philosophies entirely at odds with the "doctor compartment" in their lives. It's a hazard for all - and, that bit, at least, can be of use to others. The "warning" inherent in seeing this sort of thing directly. But, well, personally, I try to stick to small inconsistencies that are unlikely to have major consequences, especially for other people.
