I often wonder whether what I'm observing people do is pretend to feel a certain way because they are "supposed to" ... and furthermore: do they realize that they are doing this, or is it embedded deep enough to escape their own self-perception? This thought often occurs to me when the "obviously right" thing doesn't feel obvious to me. The worst part of this is that it feels like a horrific dystopian sci-fi novel--but it is real, and it is really happening. A chorus of all-agreeing voices hammer down every inconsistency. This doesn't feel like enlightenment, it feels like intellectual tyranny.
