  1. "Rather than believe the women he had collaborated with, and so be forced to revise his image of the respectable men in his midst, he chose to maintain that respectability by refusing the validity of his own observations."

  5. 'Hysteria was so common among women that if his patients’ stories were true, and if his theory were correct, [Freud] would be forced to conclude that what he called “perverted acts against children” were endemic, not only among the proletariat of Paris, where he had first studied hysteria, but also among the respectable bourgeois families of Vienna, where he had established his practice. This idea was simply unacceptable. It was beyond credibility.
    'Faced with this dilemma, Freud stopped listening to his female patients.'

  10. A quotation from Orwell

    The point is that we are all capable of believing things which we know to be untrue, and then, when we are finally proved wrong, impudently twisting the facts so as to show that we were right. Intellectually, it is possible to carry on this process for an indefinite time; the only check on it is that sooner or later a false belief bumps up against a solid reality, usually on a battlefield.

    George Orwell (1903-1950) English journalist, essayist, writer [pseud. of Eric Arthur Blair]
    Essay (1946-03-22), “In Front of Your Nose,” “As I Please” column, Tribune Newspaper

  15. A quotation from Hannah Arendt

    Mass propaganda discovered that its audience was ready at all times to believe the worst, no matter how absurd, and did not particularly object to being deceived because it held every statement to be a lie anyhow. The totalitarian mass leaders based their propaganda on the correct psychological assumption that, under such conditions, one could make people believe the most fantastic statements one day, and trust if the next day they were given irrefutable proof of their falsehood, they would take refuge in cynicism; instead of deserting the leaders who had lied to them, they would protest that they had known all along the statement was a lie and would admire the leaders for their superior tactical cleverness.

    Hannah Arendt (1906-1975) German-American philosopher, political theorist
    Origins of Totalitarianism, Part 3, ch. 11 “The Totalitarian Movement,” sec. 2 (1951)

  20. Schrödinger's war:

    A deal has been made : A deal hasn't been made

    Here's the agreed upon text of the deal : That text is fake and not agreed upon

    Oil is getting through Hormuz : No oil is passing through

    There's a ceasefire : There's no ceasefire

    Bombing has stopped : Bombing continues

    Iran's military is destroyed : Iran's military is downing helicopters, launching missiles, hitting targets

    More than anything the #iranwar is a war for your mind.
