🙃 I used to have this disease.
Now I have the disease where I try to present appropriate data and POVs, knowing full well that most people are in no emotional position to accept anything that threatens a pre-existing worldview--but also that there are other people despairing over how little facts seem to matter to most; and that they seem to despair a bit less when they know they're not alone.
So, I present arguments for them.
I call it "pragmatic futility", & I'm definitely in a late stage.
@MLClark Related, it reminds me of a pet peeve on that stupid Churchill quote we hear so much.
Churchill was far from an all-knowing wise philosopher though he was the right guy for a specific time in history.
I changed from conservative (default settings from my upbringing and environment) over time precisely because I have brains. I am data driven and far from a wide-eyed idealist only using my heart.
Churchill was wrong, about this and other things. https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-29701767
