The Backfire Effect: why culties can't un-cult
Post Body
https://theoatmeal.com/comics/believe
Excellent, funny, easy comic that explains the psychological phenomenon called the Backfire Effect. This basically says that when your deepest convictions are challenged by contradictory evidence, your beliefs get stronger.
Kinda SCARY, right? And it explains a lot about why people can be such zealots about SGI, Ikeda, Trump, Christianity, liberalism, you name it.
