Mason, as I stated to Lulie, suppression only applies to an interpretation that results in a reaction that causes a conflict in ideas. What I teach others is a form of reinterpretation such that what is interpreted does not result in a fear/stress/anxiety... reaction
If people want to do that sort of thing, they're welcome to, but it's precisely how cults work. All those signals most be softened so that attention isn't drawn to axioms that don't make sense and would otherwise raise alarms. Not worth it, IMO

Yes, people are free to react how they wish, however, what's germane to this discussion is whether we can agree that there's a difference between a reaction steeped in emotional turmoil vs one that inspires creative problem solving void of the emotional interference.

I do think there are reactions that do damage/inferfere with progress. But I also think people way too often try to think themselves out of hearing a STRONG "this is a bad situation" signal, when it would be much better and less painful overall if they removed themselves first.

Not sure how the cult comment is useful. objectively speaking, if we use fMRI and physiological diagnostics, there's a quantitative difference between a negative emotional response and a rational one. Everyone prospers from the rational state amidst any problem situation

It's useful because I don't think people function well in cults, and as a peculiarly hot property for would-be cultists I think it's useful to notice when someone else is trying to get read/write access to your source code
