Ship of Fools

belief (noun): An acceptance, without proof or evidence, that something exists or is true.

Trust is a belief, for example. When there is proof or evidence that your trust was misplaced, what do you do?

Most people, being the sort that harbour beliefs, simply double down.

This isn’t an evolutionary disadvantage because it relies on everyone being as usefully stupid as each other, which collectively protects them from each other.

Hates the people, loves the food. Complex man.
