Stupidity is knowing the truth, seeing the truth but still believing the lies. And that is more infectious than any other disease.
People are confused about the nature of tyranny. They think that its nefariousness will be recognized by all good people and that criticizing it will be widely celebrated. In reality, many good people will admire and promote it, and criticizing it will be strongly denounced.
"Generation Z exhibits higher rates of suicide and depression and far higher rates of general pessimism than any generation dating to 1960...the suicide rate for girls 15 to 19 doubled between 2007 and 2015, although it’s still far higher for boys."
Making your body your strongest weapon of defence.
Is making your mind your sharpest weapon of attack.
To attract what you want, you do not work out HOW it will come about.
Nothing can come into your experience unless you summon it through persistent thoughts.
Follow your bliss and the universe will open doors for you where there were only walls.
Joseph Campbell
All knowledge, all discoveries and all inventions of the future are in the Universal Mind as possibilities waiting for you to draw them forth.
Look for the good in everyone and everything, and let your love and joy radiate out to the world, every single day.

Human capacity for rationalization and selective ignorance is a marvel
It's a feature, not a bug. (In terms of survival)
You think every single one of your ancestors going back billions of years all survived and reproduced without the capacity to be immoral?

How dare you mislabel the trans-righteous as criminals! You're cis-righteous privilege is showing!
(Did I do that correctly? Difficult for me to conjugate these woke verbs and align the progressive adjectives)

Might be a variant of the Dunning-Kruger effect: to be able to evaluate the morality of their actions requires an understanding of ethics that they do not possess.
There are two different evaluations: of a person or of their actions as good or bad.

Everyone thinks they are in Star Wars and are the resistance while their adversaries are the evil empire.

Suggests self or group assessments of people or actions as 'good' are largely worthless, since nearly everyone reflexively thinks themselves a good person at heart.

Really? Socrates made that position of his very clear — there are no evil people. What we perceive as evil is always done out of ignorance and/or fear. That’s why knowledge is the only virtue.

Offender fragility, one might say... Their inner shame is so intense that they legit can't handle facing it, which they would have to do to empathize. It's fake love of self, that's why it's called narcissism.
