Our shared insanity leads to the denial and misuse of evidence and the inability to comprehend truth. It affects the way in which beliefs are formed and leads to the denial of that which should be most clear. Right and wrong, good and evil, and truth and falsity are confused, then muddled, and finally, flat-out denied. In our madness, beliefs are formed that have little to do with what is real. Our insanity leads us to construct philosophies and ideologies that offer trivial answers to life’s ultimate questions.
