> The immediate victims of the con would rather act as if the con never happened. Instead, they’re mad at the outsiders who showed them that they were being fooled. This is why getting cult members sane again is difficult, they would rather live in the denial of having been fooled and can go any length to reinforce that bias. Even killing family members or themselves. This is also the reaction C-suite holds as you deliver rationally why their long thought plan won't work. This is also why if you want to rise high in corporate you want to be the one not delivering bad news, ever. People will just dislike you, it's stronger than them.
