This works for any task or sport too I feel like. Once you're like "okay, watch this", you're screwed

I have a direct example of this:

I was at the UFO museum in Roswell, NM and the guy that was giving a talk was a self-described Ufologist and this was after the government released the UFO footage. He talked the whole time about government coverup of past UFO crashes, etc.

In the Q&A, someone asked if the recent footage gave him hope that we'll begin to learn more about UFOs now that the government seems more forthright with the information... And he got pissed at them for even asking. It was as if his whole retirement activity of uncovering conspiracies was challenged and his brain couldn't handle it except by getting angry at an honest question.

His conspiracy seemed to be more boring than he thought (and spent decades "researching") so he wouldn't allow the truth to shatter it. It was fascinating to see in real-time.

Long, boring, hard to pay attention to. I read philosophy and theory sometimes but it's few and far between for those reasons. I really have to be in a special mood to sit down and read something that dense.

Edit: I'm not the original commenter

Depression for me.

No. I wish I could stay awake forever sometimes.

Lol you don't get to be rude if you apologize first.

Depends who you are. If you're a person of interest to the Russians for any reason, I wouldn't trust it.

I just do not understand how anyone is on the fence about DJT... Like, they see this conviction and that's what changes their mind? After everything else?
