We really are. Can't trust anyone who says they aren't. LOL

Yes. The lies we tell ourselves are weaponized by the will to not know. The Baron von Munchausen self who perceives it self not as an example of a universal but as the universal becomes merely a tool of ideology.

Yes. If you can lie to yourself, what other lies are you accepting?

And, taking this to the end, since we can and do lie to ourselves to fill the abyssal qualities of reality, why do we get so mad at others when they, too lie to themselves to remain coherent to themselves?

I suspect it's easier to apply rules to others than ourselves. ;)
