The Funnel of Misbelief
The Funnel of Misbelief
The journey into misbelief can be understood as a funnel. It's a process that gradually pulls individuals deeper into a distorted reality. It often starts with a general sense of distrust or a specific question, and as individuals seek answers, they are drawn into a narrowing path of information that confirms their biases.
Each step down the funnel reinforces the misbelief, making it harder to climb back out. The funnel isolates individuals from mainstream information and communities, and immerses them in a world where the misbelief is the central organizing principle of reality.
This process is often accelerated by social dynamics, as individuals connect with others who share their misbeliefs, creating a social reality that is highly resistant to outside influence.
