People in the grip of an ideology become so determined to defend it that they can see almost any statement as contradicting it, just as an aggressive teenage boy can see almost any act as a challenge. "What are you looking at?"

Nowhere is this more true than in
#Blockchain and#Crypto circles. Too much ideology. Too little understanding of fundamentals. NO consideration for critical views, and a general toxic culture that scares away rational ppl -
Would love to hear more of your thoughts on this. Sounds like you have intimate first hand experience ...

Particularly when that ideology is secretly seen as fragile. Ideas seen as self-evident need no defense.

As an avid reader of your posts/essays, it would be really interesting to know how you may have also fallen victim to this.

If you mean victim in the sense of being in the grip of an ideology, I'm pretty strict with myself about that. You can't be a good investor and also be the sort of person who stays wedded to ideas despite evidence to the contrary.

Narcissist elements in power or politics are so much obsessed with their own image & thought process,they rarely tolerate any opposite view & thus damage the world around them.

Everyone is in grip of ideology. Humans are like computers. The only thing which matters what OS is loaded. Even “thoughtful person” is executing on his thoughtful ideology by claiming that his OS is superior.

And far too much of the time, people not in the grip of an ideology are unemployable.
