I will not mention nor elaborate on any specific examples out of
respect for Life generally and the individuals involved.

The mechanism are that unrecognized bogus notions, just as lies do,
produce cognitive dissonance between actuality across all levels of
existence, the seen, unseen..and even the yet to be discovered... and
the bogus notions, and various often vicious dogma. why?

duhhh... congnitive dissonance fragmants a persons entirety.. his or
her brain and spirit goes into internal conflict.. turmoil. it IS
fatal.. It is not just uncomfortable, it is fatal by well known and
studied mechanisms.

bogus notions are bogus... the world is enterly chock full of them...
wide ranges of pervasive bogus notions affection virtually all of
us... Various political, economic and social bogus notions... wide
swaths of what we call education, many that cause us to work
ourselves to death or that ruin the joy of life (causing the body to
generate self destructive chemistry... causing a wide range of
disease with stress recognized as causative factors. ).

Cults
I am going to surprise a few people here.

Cults might be a net benefit in some aspects, especially as they
present an altenative bogus 'truth' that exposes larger cultural
insanity. To that extent a cult, or even a criminal cult affords
relief from wide ranges of any cultures bogus notions and their
destructive effects.

The more radical and insane the cult the greater it diverges from the
ambient mess.. the more beneficial such cult is in that specific
function.

However to be effective in this way it must also be extreme... it
must present a sure fire dogma.. maximizing the congnitive dissonance,
it cannot be as hubbard said mamby pamby.. it must be hard core and
certain. in its error it creates utter ruin. ...

as we have seen with Scientology, no shortage of those dying young..
many by suicide as a result... the ultimate in cognitive dissonance...
and in the end destroying itself. Bogus notions produce self
destructive behaviors... this is also widely documented and a well
known side effects among any cults members.

**
a sure fire solution... dont believe anything, take a skeptical but
not negative view of all that you understand as factual, most
especially that which you hold the dearest... and especially that
which you are prepaired to defend.

waste all of that and you will be free of the cultural and other
dogma.

With that freedom, the actuality of existence simply ... errr
exists. Noticing such actuality is quite a relief.

I typed that on my boat in the dark... hows that for an excuse

here is a corrected version

I will not mention nor elaborate on any specific examples out of

respect for Life generally , and the individuals involved.


The mechanism are that unrecognized bogus notions such as lies,
produce cognitive dissonance between actuality and the bogus
notion….

It does this across all levels of existence, the seen, unseen..and


even the yet to be discovered..

various often vicious dogma, education, support of a bogus burocracy
or aspect of govt.... and many religions included.

why?

congnitive dissonance fragments a persons entirety..


his or her brain and spirit goes into internal conflict.. turmoil.


it IS fatal.. It is not just uncomfortable,
it is fatal by well known and studied mechanisms.

Such a person finds relief only cleaving ever more tightly to his
destructive notions...it spins if fast from there.


bogus notions are bogus...

the world is entirerly chock full of bogus notions, ... wide ranges of
pervasive bogus notions affecting virtually all of us...

Various political, economic and social notions... wide swaths of what
we call education, many such idea's that cause us to work ourselves
to death, or ruin the joy of life

(causing the body to generate self destructive chemistry... causing a

wide range of disease are long since recognized as causative
factors. ).

***
Cults
I am going to surprise a few people here.

Cults might be a net benefit in some aspects, especially as they

present an alternative bogus 'truth' that exposes larger cultural
insanity.

To that extent a cult, or even a criminal cult, or terminally corrupt
and collapsing government affords relief.

This is seen extensively in the burocracy of any failing corporation
or nation… these drive that failure. In the end these people
become entirely vicious, and arrogantly self destruct.


The more radical and insane the cult is, the greater it diverges from


the ambient mess.. the more beneficial such cult is in that specific

function… as it creates yet a greater net ruin.

This goes on until the entire host nation collapses.

***


However to be effective in this way such cult, cabal or burocracy must


also be extreme...
it must present a sure fire dogma.. maximizing the congnitive
dissonance,

it must be hard core and certain. .. like that vicious lying doper
Rush Limbaugh for instance/ (that is not to justify the counterpart
parties, likewise half nuts in their own way)

in its error it creates utter ruin. ... arrogantly, with great force.
I ruins all it touches, including itself… and its nasty as hell, it
thinks nothing of lying or even outright murder.


as we have seen with Scientology and a wide range of other cults from
the Third Reich to those folks with the cool-aid…., no shortage of


those dying young.. many by suicide as a result... the ultimate in

cognitive dissonance... we have maimed tens of thousands of our own
and murdered hundreds of thousands of men women and children In Iraq
while at the same time bankrupting ourselves.

thats insanity of course... self assured insanity... that kind ruins
its self fast.


Bogus notions produce self destructive behaviors...

this is also widely documented and a well known side effects among any

corrupt government or cults members. These forcefully defend
destructive insanity. And by that means become themselves
destructively insane. There are a few examples on this NG.


**
a sure fire solution... don’t believe anything, take a skeptical but


not negative view of all that you understand as factual, most
especially that which you hold the dearest... and especially that

which you are prepared to defend.

waste all of that, and you will be free of cultural and other dogma…
re-enabling your capability as an intelligent human being.

Every success carries the seeds of its own destruction.
