I don’t believe in any horrifying truths, but there are definitely horrifying lies - the strongest of which contain shades, or portions of truth. I do think these things can drive you mad and infect whole societies. I think we’re living through an era of lies right now.

Most people, myself included for the most part, have very strong subconscious defense mechanisms to never really confront those ideas. People who do confront them are less able to function in polite society and seem to talk of nothing else.
