In order to change your frame of thought, a piece of you has to die? It’s worse than that. A piece of you has to die. And it might be a lot of you. When that piece dies, it’s not like it’s replaced immediately by a new functional piece. We just released this Exodus Seminole, right? And one of the things that happens to the Israelites, once they leave the tyranny of Egypt, they end up lost in the desert. Of course, that’s part of the mystery of the story. It’s like, it’s not a very big desert where they’re lost. It wouldn’t take 40 years to walk across it. It’s three generations. But what happens is that in the aftermath of the collapse of a tyrannical belief system, well, the tyranny disappears, but then you’re lost. And it’s not obvious at all that being lost is preferable to being in the tyranny. And that’s why people will develop nostalgia for the tyranny. It’s also why people won’t let go of their beliefs. It’s like, imagine you stubbornly stick to a counterproductive pattern of behavior, and you even know it’s counterproductive, but you won’t let it go. Think, well, why would you be so damn daft not to let go of something that you know is hurting you? And the answer is, well, better the devil you know than the desert you don’t.
