Instead of performing a rational cost-benefit analysis, we accept information which confirms our identity and values, and reject information that conflicts with them. We mould our thinking around our social identity, protecting it from serious challenge. Confronting people with inconvenient facts is likely only to harden their resistance to change.
- George Monbiot
What do you want - to change material reality or just give yourself a new identity, a new lifestyle, a new religion which says it's not a religion?
- Chaos Marxist Aphorisms II,43
