Davvero,
mi piacerebbe conoscere il processo #psicologico che scatta nella #mente dei #negazionisti.
#Psicologi, ci siete quì?Io non sono certo di molte cose, ho solo una #formazione #chimica, e cerco di usare il mio modesto #cervello.
Perchè molte #persone si rifiutano di usare il proprio e credono a tutto quello che gli viene detto?
Vorrei andare oltre i soliti #LuoghiComuni -
In trying to undersand why the world is going to shit, we have discovered why the upper echelons of corporate management (and large institutional investors) are all in on #LLM-based #GenAISlop applications (#Enshitification personified). They’ve all succumbed to #AIPsychosis, assuredly a neurological condition with built-in #Denialism, with the only known cure being #Insolvency followed by #StockMarketCrash and global #EconomicCollapse.
In parallel, the question that is really bugging me is: why do #RightWing nut jobs keep banging their heads against a wall? Do they suffer from a similar type of neurological impairment? I originally thought they were all motivated to behave like they do because of particular unresolved character flaws that I conflatingly call ‘victimhood’. A self flagellation of the soul. A longing to be confirmed martyrs and pitied as such while raging at the world as the cause of their affliction — the circulatity is staggering. A condition recently appearing to be of epidemic proportion.
An article in #NewPolitics (Eddy Jokovich) has another explanation from the political perspective: A craving for limelight and a fundamental propensity to be lazy;
“…rather than developing policies for Australia’s actual economic, social and environmental challenges, the Australian right wants to import a prefab Trump–Farage–CPAC culture war that has never borne any electoral fruit in the past. So why do they keep doing it? Because it’s cheaper than developing the serious policy work, it’s far more angry than decent democratic debate, and it’s a lot easier than governing competently.” (NOTE: I have reservations about the claim of electoral ineffectiveness)

I prefer to think the old saying has it right: that making the same mistake over and over again without changing/learning anything is a positive maker for utter insanity.

THE OTHER THINK TANK:
While Heritage’s ill-fated #Project2025 has gotten all the headlines, another outside group has been quietly plugging away at transition efforts with much less fanfare.
The ♦️America First Policy Institute♦️ ( #AFPI )
has (smartly) avoided #Heritage’s braggadocio -- but has similarly done mountains of #unofficial #transition work while maintaining close ties to Trump:
#Linda #McMahon chairs the group’s board, and CEO #Brooke #Rollins is Trump’s former Domestic Policy Council director and has been personally in touch with the former president.Operating outside the Trump campaign,
🔸AFPI has interviewed more than 1,000 potential administration hires,
🔸drafted scores of executive actions Trump could quickly sign and
🔸solicited recommendations for the first 100 days of a second Trump term.“AFPI is not becoming the transition,” one insider told Hailey and Meridith. “But by virtue of how they are situated and that we are in a very late timeline for this work, AFPI and the transition may be a distinction without a difference.”
Not everyone is happy with the arrangement.
In GOP circles, we’re told, AFPI is seen less as a visionary policy shop than a #ragtag collection of operatives.
And Democrats will certainly seize on the group’s associations with 2020 #election #denialism and, a la Project 2025, their support for other #hard-#right positions -
Powerful conservative funds hand out #millions to pro-Trump far-right groups
Two powerful conservative non-profits have donated millions of dollars to a number of
pro-Trump groups led by key far-right allies
#Stephen #Miller,
#Charlie #Kirk
and others that have promoted election #denialism, #extremist anti-immigrant policies and legal challenges to bolster the #Maga movement.
Based in Wisconsin, the ♦️Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation♦️
and the ♦️Bradley Impact Fund ♦️in 2022 separately
doled out six- and seven-figure checks
to groups such as Miller’s America First Legal and Kirk’s Turning Point USA,
and other Trump-friendly bastions such as the #Heritage #Foundation and Michael Flynn’s #America’s #Future.Watchdog groups that track money in politics say the 🔥Bradley Foundation🔥
and the closely-tied 🔥Bradley Impact Fund 🔥
have become increasingly influential in funding the #Maga ecosystem in recent years as Trump is all but certain to be the Republican 2024 presidential nominee.

[potholer54] explains why climate change deniers have gotten very excited about an old 4-minute clip of Jørgen Peder Steffensen talking about a graph that shows that Greenland had been warmer than "the present"
